I like moumoon, their songs are not bad, I like how the singer's English is not Engrish lol...but I prefer their older style, more pop/rock/indie than the recent ones. Their recent style like chu-lip, not my type. But i can't wait to try out this new album.

oh yeah waiting for this!!!~ my fav japanese band.
listening to moumoon no night land now, quite good.

I like that they decided to use the intro of 15 doors and made it into a full song as We Go in the new album, love the song.

Just wondering, where do you order your japanese stuffs? Yesasia or CD Japan or ?

I've always ordered my DAI stuffs from Yesasia, and I'm thinking of getting their new album coz there's DVD with lives on it, so tempting, despite the price. I've only bought their Tour DVDs so far. But there's only the Japan region available right? Will I be able to play the dvd on my player here? That's also why the tour dvds I bought were all HK version, region 3.

EDIT:
Just listened to the whole album. Loving it! Much more than EIGHT. With EIGHT, I had like 2 tracks that I always skipped, but the tracks in TM flows smoothly and it's more serious with more mid-tempo/ballads and only few more poppy songs. Aside from the singles which are really awesome btw, I like these tracks (in no order):

PRIDE
Sun Shower
恋歌
もう一人の僕へ
Go Ahead! - perfect track to end the album, very easy-going and makes me wanna bounce around lol

There isn't a track I disliked in TM. Hope it'll do better than previous one in charts.

oh ok, thanks.

I think what he/she means is that because a lot of ppl get so crazy over boy/girl groups *hin*halyu*hint*, this thread (jpop) is dying. I still think the solo artists or group/bands that are less known (to the ppl who are ignorant about them) provide much higher quality of songs instead of those by groups like akb48 and the likes.

BTW, why do ppl say groups like akb48 as BANDS? They're clearly groups! They don't play any instrumentals at all.

finally received my DAI Time Machine (cd+dvd)

shipped from HK



gonna watch the concert tonight yatta!

yeah I only bought it coz it comes with the 12th Anniversary Concert, with a good price. Watching it now, so nice! Plus, it's HK version so it's cheaper than the Japan vers. Only about rm80+

hi there! nice to meet a fellow DAI fan here too!

Yeah, the concert was awesome, Ryo as usual, very funny!

Can't wait for their new single. Wondering what to buy next...Looking for Asian Kung-Fu Generation live concerts but seems very scarce.

I have that Started collecting their live dvds since Live 2004. The only concerts I don't have are their Deep Forest (but I dl before xD), 3rd Anniversary & Live in Japan I.

Maybe I should consider getting the Deep Forest or Live in Japan.

for anime festival? I'm interested in AFA but nobody's going with me and pwtc is quite far.

my favorite part of the movie!!! the guy dances really well too lol and it's just so random the whole situation at the park is.

not a techno/disco type of person but somehow I seem to enjoy some of Perfume's songs a lot, recently...even now, I've been listening to them nonstop for 3 hours. I like the odd dance moves and that's what makes their choreograph unique and refreshing compared to the other typical dance groups. Although their voices are processed, I still like them.

anyways, i really love this live performance of theirs at tokyo dome, amazing how they made it there though, such huge crowd!



anyone here has the Tokyo Dome tour dvd? if so, how was it, is it good?

another talented singer-songwriter like YUI in progress?

I prefer this single over Sabrina. But if she really keeps this up with solid singles and eventually a good album, I'm sure she'll make it big.

Btw, I really enjoy Angela Aki's new single - Kokuhaku gives a more refreshing feel compared to her typical older piano-driven singles.

i often buy the HK/TW versions though, DVDs that is. Cheaper but still pretty much the same *to me at least*, I'm not that picky. The Japan versions are out of my league, too expensive. I often order from yesasia.

By the way, just listened to Crystal Kay's Vivid.
Recommended: Take Me Outside, Forever, What We Do (great!), Superman
Pretty solid album, some tracks have cool dance beats and the arrangements are nice. Umm...tempted to get the album. Not a huge fan of RnB, I only listen to some artists like Speed and Namie Amuro, Soulja etc, these selected few.

guys, where do you get Japanese music videos? So hard to find the old ones either expired or destroyed by *youknowwho*.

Any favorite sites?

theme song for ongoing drama, Summer Rescue. Pretty nice~

my favorite band is releasing their 10th album next month! yay!



Love the album cover art, simple but it's symbolic. Grabbing the CD+DVD version. New song (the first one) sounds great~ Can't wait for an official preview of all tracks.

since I can't afford their japanese version, gonna wait for the HK one instead. but i agree that they're been releasing things quite fast.

since everyone's on Scandal, happy that they're actually coming to msia, despite how little j-pop/rock gets attention here. Not a fan of them, I tried listening to their albums but i guess their pop/rock style is just not my type. Although I generally like girls rocking out with instruments.

on another topic, I just listened to Namie Amuro's Uncontrolled though I have it in my laptop for quite a while already. I thought it's pretty solid, cept for some songs which I think, she should just stick to singing in Japanese, instead of mumbling Engrish all over. Besides that, I'm thinking of purchasing it ^^

My favorite Japanese all girls band will always be ZONE, really like Mizuho (drummer) too bad she's no longer in the new ZONE. Only two of them came back but their new tracks are not bad. Second will be Chatmonchy (also a two-piece band now), but their music is acquired taste I suppose, kinda like AKFG. Then Stereopony and SCANDAL a tie.

I'd like to go support too, and just to get a feel of a live concert by those girls but considering how little I know of their songs, it'd be awkward for me (if everyone begins singing together around me). But I'll see about it. December sounds pretty good.
