Want to Submit Songs to be featured for Next Week?

 

You can PM me privately or leave me a message in the J-Fanturd. No Japanese K-Pop songs, please. Japanese artists and idols only.

In b4 EXILE are idols

 

GENE's song is still a grower for me, whereas ANIMAL had me hooked the first time around.

 

Can't wait for EXILE Pride Live DVD to see those LED suits in action.

I like it more now than I did when it was first out.

 

And wait, did GENE already perform this?

I needed a new format to feature music because it was getting boring doing it the other way. This way songs get a second chance to get featured in case people miss the original post/thread about it.

this is actually a better idea imo. artist of the weeks are fun, but people get bombarded with wayy too many songs imo!

 

good work mandi :D

I like this idea, since it highlights the genuinely good and interesting releases during each week, some of which may be more known, others less so.

[Danseryu]

No, just performers in the LED suits during EXILE's live.. I'm not sure during which song but that's what I read.

[DocumentaLy]

Ohh, this is an interesting idea...

Just let me know if you have songs that you think should be featured. J-Rock, J-tek, J-Pop, J-Urban...it doesn't matter. ^^

I'm going to put a limit on featured songs, too. 3 already released songs and 3 not yet released ones (new PVs and stuff). Try to keep the already released songs fairly current when you suggest them. A few months back is okay, but 6 months back is a little too far. Otherwise, I'm open for suggestions~

I wanted to do Miliyah, but I figured I'd wait a bit until her whole single was out in case the b-sides were better (which sometimes is the case with her).

I like this idea because sometimes B-sides, album tracks, and remixes are better than A-sides.

It's the opposite with me. It took me time to like ANIMAL but HOT SHOT got me hooked so much I actually had a dream about its release event lolololol

I have high expectations for the DVD. EXILE never disappoint~
