EXILE Official Thread on OH!

 

I'll try and update the thread with links to the new tracks. Also please note that ALIVE version is different than the one found on m-flo's album... and the mix they released a while back XP

[Sad Party Queen]

Loved it. He exceeded all my expectations. It was definitely long overdue. My favorite songs are 

 

MAKE A MIRACLE

Colorful Love

MELROSE~Aisanai Yakusoku~

Real Valentine

Michishirube

Aoi Ryu

 

It was perfect mix between jazzy pop/ballads. One of my favorite releases this year.

 

 

I already pre-ordered one from exile mobile, I cannot wait to get he bonus CD with 4 new songs from chapter 1 EXILE.

 

This release was worth the wait.

[gayness]

I LOVE THIS VOICE; I MUST LISTEN.

real valentine sounds oddly familiar...  I KNEW IT.

 

;-;... makes me miss hirai ken for some odd reason.

[Farseer]

Thanks for the links. I haven't listened to the whole album but I love Make A Miracle so I will definitely check out the other songs.

The bonus CD comes with the release regardless of the store you bought it from. The CD+DVD/Bluray mobile bonus is a special interview DVD that can't be found anywhere else.

Yup. This is a Japanese cover with lyrics written by ATSUSHI of Jay Chou's "Say Goodbye" It was available in HK version of EXILE Japan album but only got a Japanese official release last year as a b-side to EXILE's Flower Song.
 
Updated first post with links to the bonus CD tracks~

[DocumentaLy]

I'm listening to it now and it's way more R&B than I expected it to be. I would say it's even more R&B than Shota Shimizu's album that came out this week as well. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

[Psy]

Brilliant thread, SaryCat!

 

As for my opinion of the album, I'm too biased to give that. He's my top favourite males j-vocalist, along with Kiyokiba Shunsuke; soulful, timeless, and stunning. The type that I will never get tired of, and the type who can sing any song and make it magical.

[DreamSoldier]

The visuals kill me and the voice is asdfghjkl

 

My long time favourite song is Furusato, that one is top #1 followed by Real Valentine and Melrose.

[Sana Muñequita Linda]

Except for the slow ballads (sorry if I'm not into that genre, even if I love tracks like Phil Collins' Against all Odds), I pretty much liked the disk. The man has a fine voice and it's been only days since I listen to EXILE. My top favourites are Make a Miracle and Colorful Love (feels like a throwback to the 80s). Sunadokei and MELROSE are pretty R&B, LA LA has some Pharrell vibes and ALIVE sounds like that legendary song from Cher, I can't recall the title right now.
