hope this count....im looking for the cd...hopefully will find one

Nice! It's so cool to see fellow AKB48 fan here in Malaysia. I'm contemplating to buy Not Yet's new single ヒリヒリの花 (Hiri Hiri no Hana) scheduled for release on 25/9/2013. It's been 1 year and 4 months I think since they last released a single. So kinda looking forward for their latest single.

That total amount in your cart.... Hehe I just started in the fandom about 8 months ago. AKBingo made me research the group more. They're funny. But i get you, it's so hard to find a fellow jpop fan here, not only akb. I can only share my happiness and fandom on international forums.
well if you're a fan of No3 why not? As for me, I usually see if I like the single or not (from previews or leaked versions) then only I'll consider buying singles. Because usually I don't get singles. But it'll more tempting if the unit has my oshi member. (which is not happening atm becoz Sae's not even AKB anymore, and she can't perform with SNH48 because of stupid visa problem). There's new single coming out soon for AKB48, but not sure Sae will still be in the senbatsu team or not

Since I spent bit too much this month, won't be getting anything for a while till October for SCANDAL's new album, Standard and Michi's. Both released on same day, yatta! But then contemplating on Yesasia or CDjapan.
Pros for yesasia: Free delivery over $25. Which applies for my order.
Cons: no bonuses like posters Packaging is just bubble wraps (3 layers though) it gets the job done.
Pros for Cdjapan: They come with External bonuses for first press - posters and packaging nicer (cardboard boxes and rolled posters)
Cons: Delivery costs higher!

Where do you usually get your jpop stuffs?

classic song from Gackt's former band

After a week, those items are still in my cart geddemmit! AKBINGO! is my gateway drug into this fandom too. Specifically the Shoujiki Shougi section of the program. God I love those so much. I'm still watching AKBINGO! every week nowadays, along with SKE Sekai Seifuku Joshi S2 and some other of the group's previous variety programs. And yeah, there's a new AKB single coming out in October. I read that it will be a 'cool' single ala UZA. That realllllly made me contemplate to get the Not Yet single . Can't afford to spend on both months. I've been getting All 3 Sayonara Crawl, and then all 3 KFCs, apart from their documentary BluRay sometime ago in April. I'll be damn broke (Well... that's exaggerating a little bit, but you get the point.) if I proceed with both Not Yet's Hiri Hiri no Hana Type A,B,C,D and AKB's upcoming 33rd single Type A,K,B and maybe 4? The singles coupled with FedEx for 3 months straight doesn't bode well for my wallet, not to mention the higher exchange rate nowadays!

Anyway, I have been getting my JPop stuffs exclusively from CDJapan because of the preorder bonus. I have never tried YesAsia although I have an account there. I think I never did register my card in there, only have my bare account.

Well, I'm not that huge of a fan for AKB48 (I only have 1 or 2 fav members and to be honest, I'm not really into their songs as well (for the most part because I'm not into idol-ish type of songs) however, I like cool singles - UZA, Beginner etc...and something more edgier or catchy. So I'm not up to the level of buying every song they put out and every single type yet LOL I seriously won't be able to keep up with that. You must be a very hardcore fan to get all the types xD But if you only collect AKB48 stuffs and not any other Jpop artists, then that's okay I guess. At least, you can focus on AKB alone.

I have quite a lot of artists that I like in Jpop realm. My No.1 will always be Do As Infinity, and the rest like Namie Amuro, SCANDAL, MiChi, MONKEY MAJIK, Asian Kung-Fu Generation etc...so I only spend on albums that I really like. Previously, I only collect DAI stuffs, this year onwards though, I expanded my collection and began getting Namie stuffs and others.

I like CDJ too because of their sturdy packaging and it makes them look more exclusive, and of course, the posters! But it's the delivery cost that kind of makes me wanna go back to Yesasia. Unless if it's my absolute favorite artist like DAI, then I will prob order from them again for the first press bonuses.

So onto some recent news:

I just heard JASMINE's new album, Complexxx. It's pretty good.

JASMINE - Realize (soundcloud)
JASMINE - I'll Be There (soundcloud)

Watch it before it gets blocked again lol, Sony is such an anti-world.

MiChi's new single out today! I preordered last minute decision alongside her previous album, Therapy which I've been meaning to get.

I don't know what fashion statement is she trying to show or that pose trying to get across...but the songs are not bad.

Loving their new style

finally received my MiChi stuffs

3rd single IndependeNt GiRL/Saturday Night (CD)

SCANDAL - Brand New Wave from their STANDARD album

Yesterday I was browsing Youtube and came across MAN WITH A MISSION, a Japanese alternative rock band. They've been around for quite a while, I just tried their music yesterday. Not bad. Their latest album, Mash Up The World is pretty good for me.

I think their wolf masks...are very intriguing.



This is the last track from that album, colours. All English lyrics, idk but it's nice. Went ahead and made a lyrics vid coz I can't find any.





Another band that made it into my list of lookout for now is [Champagne], another Jrock band. Their songs are mixed with English and the lead singer's fluent.



Travel (all english lyrics)
