I think SB needs to just cut losses and divvy the most promising girls into SNH, BEJ, and GNZ. IDK about online sales, but they do need to make more available on streaming sites and on iTunes. iTunes can good not only for music but concerts and MVs.

Considering all things that were recently said, it might be for some of them.

Oh wow! I can see the reasoning behind all of this though. I think a mixture of both Korean and Japanese idol culture is a great way to move forward. Edit: Just realized this thread is going to get a little confusing/complicated.

This slaps! I love it! That tiny little CG lady is creepy. BTW, where's 7Sense's Swan MV?

I was there the first two weeks of October. I heard 'TT' a bit in Shibuya. But the most I heard it was in Osaka. It was everywhere we turned. Edit: I also heard it while in Kyoto, but not a lot. King & Prince's 'Memorial' was about to(?) come out. So there were commercials on T.V. and advertisements for that. Even on the front of convenience marts. I'd get off the train and across the street was this big K&P banner smack dab on a Family Mart. That DA PUMP song was just everywhere. On T.V., in stores. By the end of the trip, we were making our own versions of it. 'Come on Baby! America! "Stop taking Lialda if you experience: nausea, headaches or diarrhea." ' 'Come on Baby! America! "If you or a loved one have Mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation." '

It's a cute song. I'll be playing this every so often.

I'll give it to you about Twice and TT. That song was playing everywhere I went when I was in JP (along with that stupid U.S.A song). And a question for everyone on here: Do 46G's sales suffer from bulk buying as much as 48G?

IA. No one is really going to be the next Namie. The time at which she debuted and that she was active in had favorable conditions for her situation to happen. The industry and culture now are far different from the one she came into. It's not impossible for someone to have the same cultural impact and career as she did, but it's highly unlikely.

Yeah, I realize that. I'm not counting Sayaka or Airi out. If you read what I wrote you'd see that they were two of the three I'd thought could. And with Twice it is possible. I'm not saying that'll happen next year or the year after that. But if they continue on the path that they are right now, then eventually yes it would happen. And the whole talent thing really doesn't matter sometimes with the public. We've seen talented people fall by the wayside and mediocrity rise to amazing heights. Meh, she did the song for the Olympics and had many other high profile endorsements right before her retirement. But the only way we'd know if Utada would be on Namie's level come retirement is if she actually retires. No hiatus, but actually leaves the industry.

For me, it was Yuru Camp and A Place Further Than The Universe. Yeah... my year peaked pretty early. But I've been meaning to watch Bunny Girl Senpai and since a lot of you said you liked Asobi Asobase, I'll take a look at that too.

I mean, Koda Kumi could've made a good comeback if she played her cards right after Meguminohito became a tik tok meme and she had the public's attention. But unfortunately, she wasted it. Kana Nishino will forever be a boring constant in the industry. She's not going anywhere, but she's reached her peak already so she better be happy people have some interest in her. Perfume seems to be at Kana level of interest in the public but for some reason, I feel like they can disband at any time. I don't want to count Ayumi out but... yeah. I'm counting her out. Counting Utada out as well. Her comeback was highly anticipated because she was gone for so long. I don't think people as much as they did now. She's still above Kana and Kumi because she's respected as an artist. For me, E-Girls are missing that X-factor. They have the right ingredients so far but are missing something. Sometimes they seem hollow. Misaka Uno for me is like a tier below Kana. AKB had their chance. They're done; as well as most of their sister groups. There's a reason Aki-P went to Mnet and possibly JYPE. The only ones I can think of possibly taking Namie's place are Airi Suzuki, Sayaka Yamamoto and Twice (yes, even Twice). Airi is a long shot though.

It would've been better if the whole music video had the same feel like the last part with the candles. It was too cute for such a song.

Really hope this doesn't cause problems for her in the future.

Well, this is a very lazy way (and cheap) to do that. Wished they could've given her new material and had 'Don't Touch' as a b-side.

I'm looking forward to it, but it just seems weird since it was already released by other members of SNH.

IA. While listening to it I was wondering if the song was originally written in Korean because the Chinese ver. doesn't flow with the melody.

The instrumental for Swan is fantastic. They're really trying to make their Korean advancement stick. Do you guys think it will?

Ready for it!

What is wrong with these people?!

That’s rough, but I do understand. Sometimes you can’t have it all. If you can’t fulfill your responsibilities that you said you could something has to give. But I do think the girls that left made the right choice.

I was really impressed with the production as well. Her other remixes are good too, so I hope she'll do more of IZ*ONE's music in the future.
