doki-doki 21,660 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just got the Apple Music subscription. I'm seriously having so much fun listening to all the music. I can't live without Apple Music, thinking about dropping Spotify now since it barely gets any use anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Genuinely confused as to how this song is Jpop, this is the Kpop formula 100% Apparently they were Produced by Brave Brothers, nvm Edited February 7, 2017 by dokidokiâ„¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've had been digging up some older Japanese songs these past months and they're amazing. Especially this one because how beautifully it's composed. This is gorgeous, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 LOL, why now? I tried so much to expand the Japanese coverage here, and I was disregarded for a bunch of KPop fans with no original ideas and who weren't dedicated. Look how everything turned out in the end, for me and for them. you moved onto way bigger things and you're always so helpful in the J-Section, the fact they didn't see that is entirely their loss tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 LMAO Dear God, I remember when this came out. My how time has flown by. So what happened to Arama? Also what was Mika Nakashima doing on SALU's new album? I thought no one in Japan gave a shit about rappers..... They have a rising HipHop Scene that is steadily gaining more recognition recently.

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 this truth tea tho It used to be more active (this thread)~ I'm just happy it's still alive at least I really wish Arama had a chat though. I love the Arama TC when there's major music shows going on (like MSSL or Kouhaku). So fun talking to other Jpoppers. I agree dude, I check Arama Daily and there is definitely a more lively Community over there, I think most of the peeps over there don't have patience for OH and Kpopers in general lol, it would be so nice if they implemented a Forum or Chat Room :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Welp that Japan & Korea media ban thread escalated pretty quickly. What do you mean by that. They're just comparing whether Korea subjugating Vietnam is worse than Japan subjugating korea or not. Who cares about the original point of whether censorship of Japanese products in Korea is justified or not. Lol. Agreed, it's a huge mess, a certain User is problematic af...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 wonder if the mess that is the media ban thread will ever stop :o If it was in the K-Section it would have been deleted by the Mods but this section is clearly off their Radar lol. I'm still living for that User getting scalped repeatedly though~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Any articles on this? I was repping for the Urban scene after it's death in the mainstream. In my time the only real success story was AK-69. I know SKY-HI has been dropping shit pretty consistently since his solo debut. And I know KOHH blew up which probably lead to that Utada collab. Is there anything else? I'm just curious cuz it honestly feels like a dead zone on the HipHop side since so many rappers I used to mess with heavily are MIA. I wouldn't call it 'Mainstream' I reckon it's still a long time until that happens, but acts like SALU, AKLO & KOHH (as you mentioned) Underground Rappers are steadily gaining more followers and recognition which has inspired a wave of new Debuts in the genre, some of which are very promising, I've been really enjoying Chushokigyo recent work and also Lick G. Anarchy, C.O.S.A, ISSUGI, Kid Fresino, KANDYTOWN which I'm sure you have heard of? create some really impressive content, but it's personally a bit too 'try hard' for my taste...KandyTown are expected to really make it in 2017. *fingers crossed* There are also a lot of acts that have a more Jazz & Hiphop influence like Suchmos, MGF, Cero, Cicada etc who are a few of my favorites.

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I missed the mess. I need to get into the habit of coming on these forums more but it's difficult because of how dead the main section is + how irritating k-pop fans can be. I feel you lol I'm gradually getting too sarcastic and snappy these around here these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You'd probably dig the Dream Boys team (KEN THE 390, KLOOZ, KOPERU, YURIKA) since that style is lighter and more fun. I tried looking looking up some J-Hip-Hop articles I might have missed in my time away. Saw one Red Bull put up recently. I got excited then paused.... If this article mentions Wild Style, King Giddra and Nujabes it's fucking trash. *Reads article* Into the dumpster you fucking trash drones. I regret leaving the scene lmao I listen to Ken the 390 & Klooz sometimes, quite enjoy their content, lately I've also been obsessed with this Song: I heard it on Spotify and fell in love instantly. I agree on that, it always feels forced and cliche when they include Nujabes in an article.

doki-doki 21,660 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hah okay, so Kanjani8 fandom got some big news tonight delivered by the group on KanJAM. Their new album (that they didn't release last year but they still managed to sneak into the top 5 overall best-selling artists anyway) will be released on June 28th. And someone just told me that it's on the same day as TWICE's Japanese debut. OMG Johnnys can be savage when they want to LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 TWICE laying down those gimmicks real thick. https://onehallyu.com/topic/499097-hmv-twice-twice-japanese-debut-album-details/ That User is known for posting these kinds of threads for every minor Twice achievement or media play, she's notorious for being a bit delusional lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) They have to be trolling. She's the same person who made a thread claiming Twice is the 4th best digital GG in Japan, and her source was something like 'KpopQueen' @ twitter.com LOL, if it's trolling it's pretty consistent Edit: https://onehallyu.com/topic/491168-twice-is-among-the-current-top-4-female-digital-groups-in-japan/ Edited April 6, 2017 by dokidokiâ„¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doki-doki 21,660 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Tonight ended up going with some coworkers to see Kimi no Na Wa in theaters. I'm not really an anime person at all but FUCK that movie really got to me. After it ended I literally sat in my car crying before I could calm down enough to drive home. Would definitely recommend it to everyone, regardless of whether you like anime or not. One of my favorite movies in years. I can relate, Kimi No Na Wa is definitely one of the best Movies I have seen in recent years, the hype is well deserved. Sounds and looks more like a failed attempt at alt. idol by a pop group, to me. It's definitely inspired, and isn't anywhere near as authentic and solid as J-Alt Idol Releases, but for Kpop, it's better than what I expected. Yesss omg even as a Once it's so ANNOYING to see that user's threads. Like, Twice don't rule anything in Japan lol their nugus there and TT didn't even trend as much as what he/she made it out to be. Yep, I don't think she means any harm, she seems nice most of the time but appears to be a bit of a 'super fan' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doki-doki 21,660 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It's definitely inspired. For a K-pop release, it's exactly what I'd expected - flat. For something trying to compete with an Alt. Idol release, it's sorely lacking. Those are cold observations. What, however. bothers me is seeing the group spammed by K-pop fans on Babymetal's PV pages. Harsh criticisms, it wasn't that bad, the chorus is catchy but it's definitely not on par with real Alt Idols, but I sympathise with you because I know how irritating Kpop fans can be and wasn't aware they were spamming babymetals videos o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
