Hi, fellow Ken Hirai fans. But these days, almost all music acts in Japan releasing their album in more than one version, with different cover for each version and/or with different bonus for each store. For me as a content buyer, that kind of marketing strategy is nothing dirty compare to music acts that releasing multiple versions with unfair distributed content, where each version not only has different cover and/or bonus, but also has different extra content, that attract people to buy more than 1 version to get all content. And for this EXILE album, I really don't think people would buy more than 1, even if he/she is a rich fan : If I'm a fan, I might buy the DVD type for the content, but for buying it in a hurry for the bonus? No, moreover to buy more than one copy. Compare to this album : If I'm a fan, I might buy in a hurry for the content and lottery benefit, and I might confuse in choosing the bonus. But to buy more than one copy to get more bonus? No. Moreover compare to this album (the marketing strategy kinda crazy for an album ): If I'm a fan, I might try my best to buy all the 11 special sets, since each of it have different live performance. But if I'm super rich, I might end up buy sooo many copy, since all the stickers look so cute, and all the lottery prizes are worth to try to get. So back to the topic, both Utada and EXILE album look normal for me, nothing dirty.

Makoto Nagano is unbeatable. But I think it'll be interesting if Ninja Warriors have special edition for all EXILE related acts or other Japanese entertainer, that have big muscle. Naoto have tried once, but he failed. Nervous maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECZAbnieg0o There are longer version in Youtube btw.

Is it hard to see the link? If Giant Swing, LL Brothers, Michico, Zoo, and other Japanese 90's r&b/urban singer still active and still can dance today, they will also sing and dance in EDM songs. T.Kura from Giant Swing, Takanori from LL Brothers, and Michico was made many EXILE/2JSB/3JSB's r&b/urban/edm songs. They work for EXILE company since 2000 (1JSB era). They only work with acts that focus on r&B, like themselves, EXILE related acts, Namie, CK, Ai, Kaname, Daichi Miura, Sowelu, Ken Hirai, etc. And they never work with any KPOP acts. STY (and his company), who also made many EXILE/2JSB/3JSB's r&b/urban/edm/rock songs, starting his career as music producer with EXILE company. He work for EXILE company since 2005, then expanding to other acts, like Kumi, CK, Daichi M, then Jhonny's, KPOP, CPOP, etc. Rather than EXILE HIRO, all of these music producer have bigger responsible in developing 3JSB sounds. These music producer choose to develop their music to EDM, just like many other music producers in the world, and nothing wrong with it. And just like how Bieber, Jason Derulo, TAKE THAT, coldplay, and many other acts in the world, who follow EDM trend, shouldn't be considered as KPOP follower, then 3JSB, Namie, Daichi, and many other Japanese acts that follow EDM trend, shouldn't be considered as KPOP follower too.

When r&b/urban singers do EDM these day, is it considered as KPOP follower? Justin bieber who more r&b before, do edm today. If backstreet boys, n'sync, destinys child, tlc, pussycatdolls, etc, still active today, i think they will also do edm songs. Even TAKE THAT, 90's boyband, who more pop ballad before, have edm songs too. And band, like coldplay, use edm element too in their music. Time changing, as well as music trend. I think there's nothing wrong with singers who challenging themself in following trend. Just take it if you like it, or leave it if you don't.
