The J-Music Lovers' International Assembly

[DocumentaLy]

My problem is with how they think it's so wrong to criticize what you like, and didn't you go to Junsu's concert or something, was it you or someone else

 

I went to his concert.

[DocumentaLy]

But for what reason? The appeal of mediocrity? 

 

Let's take this video for instance:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV5yY47c3bo

 

It caused a stir because some people thought it looked like she was eating semen. Especially since there were so many closeups of her mouth and cleavage while doing so. It's clearly sexual. But to some AKB fans, they say that that if you think it's sexual, it's because you have a dirty mind. It's just a girl having an innocent meal. But like one of the commentators said on one of the sites that reported on this, you'd have to be a child to not see the intent behind this.

Is this part of your Canadian childhood?

[DocumentaLy]

indeed

 

i never realized how creepy this was D:

 

Those Canadian work safety PSAs 

 

 

[DocumentaLy]

That looks like a POV porno.

 

Pretty much.

[DocumentaLy]

AKB is softcore porn masquerading as music. 

 

Very much so. Their music sells so much due to the an attachment to the girls as opposed to the music, people wanting to meet them and vote for them. A lot of their sales comes from bulk buying to achieve these things as opposed to purely liking the music. The more copies you buy the more you time you can spend with them at a handshake event and the more ballots you have to vote for them. It's a very good gimmick.

[DocumentaLy]

That video with all the close ups makes me feel really awkward because it is meant to be sexual and its obviously for wotas

bleh

 

Stop being a pervert! She's just eating daikon! 

[DocumentaLy]

LMFAO I MEAN *BUT YA I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE BUTTSEX CAME FROM FUCKING AUTOCORRECT

 

Sure...

[DocumentaLy]

Does anyone know who Sugaya Tetsuya?

I just randomly came across a video on YouTube of 2PM performing their newest song ADTOY and holy shit this song is amazing. I have no idea if I have ever listened to a 2PM song before or not, but this song is just wonderful. Probably my favorite male idol songs released in a LONG time.

 

I'm going to post my review on that I did in the trade:

 

Hands down, the best Korean song this year so far. I would give the best song by a Korean act this year to Gummy's All For Love but that's in Japanese so 2PM gets this distinction. I'm sure everyone here knows by now that I'm a bit of a 2PM anti. 2PM started off really strong but after 1:59PM I feel as if their career took a turn for the worst. They started to release a lot of cheesy, dated tracks that did nothing but make them a joke musically. Their penchant for taking off their clothes just added to this. In short, they just annoyed me (as did their fans). When they released the pre-release track for this new album, it just seemed like more of the same. But then this song came out and I gagged. Hard. It is the sound that needs to come back to music. I miss R&B a lot right now and I'm ready for this dance pop trend to die. i've been ready for a few years now. This is a R&B song. I totally wasn't expecting it. And I love it so much. There's this smooth, mature sexiness to this song that I crave. It's like a grown man coming to you and telling you the deal and you can't help but go along with it because it's just delivered so smoothly. As expected in this song Junho and Junsu deliver the strongest performances. Even when I dragged 2PM, I always was soft for these two because they truly are the vocal core of this group. Junsu on this song just gives me this sensation that would best be described as melty. I think they all stepped their game up on this song. Even Nichkhun's falsetto that gave me pause at first is a non-issue now. This is what I want from 2PM. Keep doing this and I will have nothing negative to say.

 

10/10

Hoping Kaname's album will leak a day early. I am ready for it.   It's up for preorder on iTunes, but no previews yet: https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album//id645849774

 

 

 

This is good. But why wasn't anyone really talking about it when it came out? Usually when a group has an amazing song there's 100 threads on it.

 

 

 

I love this song

 

That is because 2PM is a flop now. It got some discussion but not as much as it should have.

im jus tired of kpop and their groups. im still waiting for an amazing soloist to come out. but ive pretty much given up on kpop tbh

 

Best release by a Korean this year:

Completely flopped in Japan since nobody cares about Korean soloists there and KPop fans elsewhere don't care about her in general.

 

Waiting for this to be released:

 

 

[DocumentaLy]

Why does every TVXQ topic have to turn into some kind of fight between HoMin stans and everyone else?? Can't they just let other people have their own opinions?

 

That always happens. I agreed with the one guy and he went on for a page arguing with me saying I wasn't agreeing with him.

 

Anyone found Kaname's album? It's not up on j-mp3.

 

 

I didn't play the games with Zero, but my younger sister and brothers did. I think they were secretly hoping for Zero, too. xD

 

I'm okay with it just being Megaman <3 That style of him sure brings back memories. If Zelda/Shiek isn't revealed to be in it later, I'll be a little upset. That's the character I'm really good at

 

I haven't seen it anywhere yet. I'm glad that someone put the digital single of Miliyah's new song up.

[DocumentaLy]

I don't know who I feel about dl'ing Ms.Ooja's new album...

 

 

[DocumentaLy]

Kaname's album is out. Debating if I should listen to it now or go to bed.

 

EDIT: Just finished it and I love it. I'll have to relisten to it when I come home tonight.

Jizue is labeled as a nu-jazz/post-rock band so I'm not sure where to post them. Their album "journal" was released today and eat faker is one of the tracks.

 

I saw this one some sites and was wondering what it was. I like it.

[DocumentaLy]

OMG I really can't get enough of Breathe's cover of DOUBLE's BED on their new single. So much better than Jasmine's from a few weeks ago. Their 15th anniversary tributes <3

 

 

[DocumentaLy]

TBH I usually do them when I'm bored and it's fun to see stans get riled up LMAO

 

i havent done them lately because dealing with them is too tiring but ah~~

 

but they seriously are WAY too serious with all this. Like, calling me insecure when you're the one writing essays on why they are talented? and then PMing me about it. lmao

 

JYJ stans are def a lot more fun. I guess cause Homin are more serious, there fans are serious? I think that's why I like the other 3 more; they joke around a lot more than HoMin.  shame that the music sucks on both sides now :|

 

I find it funny that Homin is more serious even though their music isn't.

 

You should of reported those stans who kept bothering you. Taking an argument to a pm is too much. I guess it shows their level of maturity. 

 

HoMin stans think they know what is Jpop................  funny that they think that just because they listen to their favs who sing in Japanese. 

 

Lol those Jpop fans should know better. They listen to Jpop, and they even don't see how HoMin's current music is Kpopish. That is just sad on their part. 

 

Anything related to AKB48 creates a discussion. There is some hypocrisy within that fandom. They like to talk crap about that girl Paruru. The way they talk about her is just sad. Its fine that the girl doesn't have talent, and she is being pushed more than other girls but to call her some really nasty things is just pathetic. 

 

And then the Homin stans don't even listen to old stuff that is JPop because JYJ is in it and it's not as fast.

[DocumentaLy]

srsly, will you find this in kpop or in the jpop kpop groups make these days?

[DocumentaLy]

Height of members is that all of 180cm or more 

is a male music group of eight pairs tall with Japanese away.

The combination of (abbreviation of emotional) SOLID Cool (solid) = super, EMO (Imo) = effeminate, two words, in the sense that "effeminate guys in the coolest", and has been named SOLIDEMO and (Soridimo) was.
