    Hey guys. Was going through the Internet and saw this image:

     

    11236214_639050599563516_416092373_n.jpg

     

    Where is this from? I'm guessing it's from a PV... Would like to know what it is, and if there is a behind the scenes/making video as well.

     

    I believe it's just a photo taken on one of their fanclub trips to Hawaii. Can be found in the fanclub newsletter(s) of that year (which is, judging by their looks, from 2007-2008)

    I AM LOVING

    Did not Disappoint

     

    and girl you have been MIA since 5ever

     

    when my hubby is MIA i also go MIA ahohohohoh  :har:

     

    but seriously, this new version is giving me EXILE ASIA feels. Like, what a 24karats song would sound like in 2005 with a touch of Eastern Boyz 'n Eastern Girlz instruments/atmosphere. Can't wait for the full version  :rlytearpls:

    You guys don't understand. Those artistic covers are indicating E-girls is on their way to reach the same level as SLAYXILE.

     

    Bad covers = Fans will buy the single anyways coz lol let's test their limit  :har:

     

    As for the song, I really really like it and the girls were super gorgeous in the PV. Choreography and set were on point so no complaints from me  :rlytearpls:

    I've been checking up on Exile/JSB now and then on here, and well, looking at those album sales, I'll just say 3JSB's "PLANET SEVEN" debuted at #1 in the Oricon daily chart with 229,707 copies sold.

     

    But to be honest, musically Exile have been lacklustre going from "Rising Sun" onwards. Also, where they went wrong I think is having too many members (Now anyway). 2 vocalists and 17 performers? What did adding the 3 new performers actually bring to the group? No idea. And after all these years of waiting since the Nidaime join, Sho/Nes STILL aren't SINGING. WTF. Having 4 vocalists and the rest as performers makes a LOT more sense. Makes them slightly different to 3JSB, as having a quintet allows for more harmonies which a duo cant offer. Also, as it is right now, the whole EXILE PYRAMID may even be crumbling as TOSAKA/RYUJI seem to be more popular/known than SHO/NES. How are SHO/NES supposed to be the next frontmen for Exile when TOSAKA/RYUJI would make more sense at this point.

     

    I dont understand. I watched the recent Exile Tribe Concert and both Shokichi and Nesmith were far superior as lead vocalists than Takahiro was. I honestly feel Takahiro has lost his vocal ability or something, because on several of the tracks he struggled to hit many notes which he would normally be fine with, say back in 2009. 

     

    It is worrying that 3JSB's latest album outsold Exile's on the first day/week, though I will say it may have also been due to many of the songs on "19 -Road to AMAZING WORLD-" abeing 3 years old now, and the album itself only has 3 new songs.

     

    What I will say though, is that Exile/Atsushi seem to be going back to their roots with the 3 new songs, so we'll see how it goes from here, now that Atsushi has had his time out and gathered his thoughts.

     

    Also, listening to Generations' "Everlasting" reminds me that Exile should work with H-Wonder again. "Everything" "You're My Sunshine" "Giver" are some of Exile's best songs.

     

    But 3JSB are probably at their peak now plus their album has the no. 1 song of 2014 and Japan Record Award's winner of the year. Not to mention the marketing for their album was on a whole other level (and still going on with them set to perform RYUSEI on Music Station for the 2748th time.) If you want to compare them to EXILE, then compare it to EXILE's peak which was 2008 with 4 albums form EXILE ranking in the top 15 albums that year, including no. 1 album of the year (EXILE LOVE) and those albums eventually becoming million seller albums each (save for one or two of the bests, I think). Also Ti Amo won Japan Record Awards that year too. It would make more sense to compare it to that time, not when they're (like you said) releasing an album with songs from 3 years ago, using not-so-clever marketing and performing nothing on TV.

     

    And sigh, we can spend eternity talking about the lack of NESxSHO in EXILE's songs and it'll probably fall on deaf ears T_T

     

    I strongly hope and pray they'll redeem themselves with a new album before the end of this year but I'm not that optimistic about it OTL

     

    Oh and I kinda wrote a review on the album if anyone is interested lmao

    #100. Michi

     

    Seeing Michi on the charts always give me the feels  :cry:  The live performance is just too good~

    And I thought EXILE PRIDE wasn't popular, why is it still charting?  :imstupid:

    In those 25 years of my life I've been searching for answers. I asked a lot of questions and I still do.

    I got lost for the longest time. I made a lot of mistakes.

     

    I get depressed pretty quickly and can only think of my flaws during those times. I try to remain in my positive, happy go lucky character but sometimes it just gets too dark and I feel like there's no way out.

     

    Now whenever I feel like that I'll just listen to ATSUSHI's Sakura no Kisetsu and I'll feel so much better  :cry:

    actually I believe the no. 1 happened coz of stock issues  :har: but still it's an achievement so yay for the girls \O/

    and 40k weekly isn't really too bad for a single that is preceding an album imo~ though I have to agree that they need to slow down on the E-girls releases and focus on the individual groups instead~
