Midna 2,032 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Speaking of the Amber issue... You know, I always found it interesting how, if an SK act doesn't do well they hardly promote, but in Japan it's a little different (depending on circumstances). They still make new material even if they "flop." I'm really happy for that (until... they completely stop releasing stuff). Someone tell Jasmine to release a new album please :( and topped! Have a video of Alan's wonderful vocal slayage. Edited March 26, 2017 by Midna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midna 2,032 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Which is dumb. imho. They obviously aren't doing well because the company A: Isn't promoting them B:the company pushed them aside to promote their newest group or C: The company was being greedy and instead of having them make a mark in their home base first; they send them to JP. Probably other reasons too such as the company they are from is some unknown country so people arent gonna give them chance unlike known and popular companies. This. The company isn't giving them chances. And obviously as a solo act from a group, it may be harder, but im sure the mgmt has the money for it. I think the less popular Japanese acts still do shows, no? I know Jasmine had/has a show coming up soon. I wish the companies would also allow their acts more artistic freedom. sigh.

Midna 2,032 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Shows as in concerts or music shows? Well, both are true so it doesn't really matter... concerts, but that too. But mostly concerts. they seem to have little live events here and there (Im assuming from the J-urban girls I follow on Twitter).

Midna 2,032 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 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. Well. Shit. LOL She has some major pipes!!!! <3 Alan should team up with Yoko Shimomura and release a Final Fantasy track or something like that Yaaas she does. She has beautiful ballads.

Midna 2,032 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 The only current kpopgroups I like are Ladies Code and Red Velvet. Ladies Code has the best songs (the new ones) of all the groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midna 2,032 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I actually peeped some of LC's newest stuff and it's pretty decent. I didn't even know that group was still kicking lol They're active on twitter but I don't see any releases from them so far 😠Ladies Code new music is totally my thing. Better than most Kpop right now -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midna 2,032 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I did this thing recently that was like a forum game where people would submit 1 Japanese song a round (following a specific category) and then judges would score them. Lowest score each round would get eliminated. The whole point was to help others like discover new music but the competition was so shit bc everyone was just posting like E-girls, Faky, and then anime music. It was clearly only Kpop fans participating. This was it: https://onehallyu.com/topic/487083-game-play-jpop-showdown-starts-8am-est/ We should do something like that, but with people who actually regular the J-music side who actually CAN introduce people to new, good music each round. It's like one of those trade offs we used to do but with judges, eliminations, and a final winner do it do it do it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midna 2,032 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Was told by a Kpop Fan that Japan doesn't care about talent like Korea does. I asked why and was told it's because of AKB48. I then asked them to name any other Japanese Artist or Group and they couldn't even name a single one. What about the dozens of bands, vocal groups, soloists and legends over various different genres that have managed to stay relevant for over a decade? Many of who write their own lyrics and compose their own music. I hate getting schooled by Kpop fans when their idols are basically told when, where and how to shit. /End Rant. whats your twitter sis? <3 and LOOOOL. Kpop fans...

Midna 2,032 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Why did it take me so long to find this thread? I am not well informed about recent jpop/rock but I'd like to start getting back into it. I'll follow this thread so that I can check things out and discuss I've never been on an Asian music forum where the Jpop section is active before.

Midna 2,032 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi guys I've requested this in the past, but I've been out of touch recently. Hope this is the right place to ask? I'm a long-time Sakanaction fan. Where can I access their music to stream? Not on soundcloud, spotify, etc. Is Apple Music/iTunes an option? I tried looking. (In the US) And lastly, what's a good place for updates on their music for English-speakers. Like many other Japanese acts, they don't seem to be as accessible to Western listeners, so I'd love to know where's the best place to look! (Even a place with lyric translations. Much appreciated.) Hi there! From what I remember, their music is not on Apple Music. I was able to find them on Spotify though (not sure if official). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midna 2,032 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Ronald, your review of I'll Be There made me laugh but I agree 100%. Unknown is a-side material. I'm just tired of these dated songs. Edited May 5, 2017 by Midna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
