The J-Music Lovers' International Assembly

[Midna]

You shouldn't have bothered listening to Honesty. She hasn't released anything interesting since Rainbow and Magic. I'm close to losing any faith in her but I'll wait for Incomplete to come out and see if she can redeem herself.

 

NEW ALBUM?! :O

 

 

and sadly, what you said was true :(

[Midna]

She is going to be releasing Incomplete: Traces of 5 Years on June 22nd but it isn't going to be an original album. It's a cover album to my understanding but she hasn't released the tracklist for it.

 

 

 

Cover. Album.   

 

i didnt listen to Kuu's. im not listenign to this one either

[Midna]

I know! I'm way too tired of J-Artist releasing cover albums because they don't do much to change or transforms the records that they have chosen to cover. I've exhausted myself on these cover albums and can't wait until this trend is done and over with. Koda Kumi delivered on her cover album on quite a few tracks but I don't have any faith that Hiromi is going to pull out anything interesting from her cover album.

 

 

it's gonna be an HONESTY Part 2. I feel it. omg.

 

 

At least Kuu's interpretations of the songs are interesting and fun. the others just change the instruments around and bam. its usually the same thing. I'd love to see Shiina Ringo do a cover album. shes great at rearranging songs tbh

[Midna]

I don't know what to do with Hiromi anymore. Magic and Rainbow are two of my favorite urban full lengths because she had so much life, sass and energy in her music but Honesty was much too tired and sleepy. I'm most likely not going to bother listening to her cover album unless I heard good things about it but I'm not going to hold my breathe. Ringo would create such a magical cover album!

 

she's fallen. just like the other urban girls :( they went from sass and greatness to boring and basic :( it's so sad. Ringo is just awesome anyway. :D i love the rock version of Kuki during her earlier concerts. Even tho the album version was amazing, there was something about her concert version that wowed me *O*

I need this Namie again :(

BOO TO DANCE POP NAMIE

[Midna]

Well, no one can say that I'm not being honest.  :P  The moment I saw that song in my list, I had a feeling that I was going to end up writing something like that given what I'd heard about it.

 

you're too nice.

 

 

im harsh.

 

:(

[Midna]

 

 

And I suck at finishing dramas too. Heck, anime as well. Its hard to just sit down and watch one sometimes.

 

 

KAZOKU GAME ISNT UPDATED IM SO SAD.

 

 

i forgot to comment on the LJ when i applied for the comm

 

LMAO

 

 

 

 

 

omg

[Midna]

I was about to say "what?" because they just put out episode 7 yesterday.lol

 

 

And I wonder if they are still accepting people though since they found out that people have been selling their subs.  -_-

 

 

srsly??? omg that sucks D:

[Midna]

Ughh, we had this discussion the other day in the J-Urban thread. Pretty much all the R&B girls are tired now or they've left the field. So many of them got in the Kana boat. They lack the creative force to get in the Miliyah boat.

 

 

 

It's going to suck:

 

 

 

 

 

 

did she gain weight?

 

and the first song is so familiar. what is it again D:

 

and yup. Honesty PART 2

[Midna]

^

Hwaiting! hope you feel Better Krunchii!!

 

Omg this cutscene makes me depressed BECAUSE MIDNA AND LINK WILL NEVER BE T-T such great character development for Midna \0/

 

 

Sobs in corner fck this game

[Midna]

You're really taking this hard, aren't you? xD; And you haven't even gotten to the end yet. Midna's sass in the last scenes is cute  \o/ <3

 

I AM

 

I love Midna's character. im gonna be so sad when I finish the game tbh. SADDDDD

 

I still have to finish Okami --___--- then move onto OoT and MM.

 

 

and now i want Skyrim >:D

[Midna]

Kana's single is up on J-mp3. Time to listen to it. No Keita yet ><

 

 

Summer gaming marathon for you, then :D All those game are long

 

I want Zelda news to come out of E3 next week. T^T Let's see that new Wii U Zelda! Or the story of the 3DS one. That works for me, too.

 

i know > my mom doesn't like the idea though hahah

 

hopfully i might be able to find a second part-time job..if not..GAME TIMEZ

 

Skyrim will probably not happen. Heard the PC vers is better and my comp definitely won't be able to handle the graphics lol. so i will stick with the Zelda games for now.

 

3DS dont apply to me cause i dont have T_T

[Midna]

So Kana's single is good?

[Midna]

I don't know what's going on with the charts all of a sudden, but I like it Why isn't Contrail on there, though? I expect Namie domination when FEEL is out~

 

 

Lots of people care. It's EXILE/3JSB \o/ You should post it in their thread if they haven't already. Looks like this will be the next drama I watch after Soratobu is over :3

 

 

 

Surprisingly the other B-side "Story" is great, so I'm happy    Believe is okay (it's definitely Go For It Part 2), and Rainbow is boring. Unless you would like a Watashitachi clone, in which case you'd probably like it.

 

sounds good! I'll check it out when i get home later.

 

I want a Tatoe Donna Ni clone. :(

[Midna]

No! I need Distance II and Sakura, I Love You? II.

 

I WANT ALL THREE

 

 

[Midna]

Welcome. Better late than never.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone uploaded her last tour for her greatest hits cd on YouTube last week: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrHovPzOMnuSkOkFbKw9GlioCuB72G6Yr

EWW ROMAN D:

 

 

LOL that jpop queen thread was fun to read

[Midna]

Crystal Kay joined Tumblr.

i wonder if she searched her own tag lol

[Midna]

So have Namie and ayu's stuff always been on the u.s. iTunes store and I just noticed it.

 

 

wut D:

 

omg you're rightt!!!!!!!!

[Midna]

Namie's used to be, but it got taken off for a while. It just got put back on there a day or so ago.

 

 

I usually have it on iTunes Japan because I can just get stuff from there, so I didn't notice it either D: I wonder if they'll put FEEL on there when it comes out.

 

 

3DS or N64?

 

the old graphics are reallly............ :| but i like to play on big screen :( but they upgraded the graphics + added new features?

 

i asked you this before but i cant remember what you said lmao D:

[Midna]

Those graphics were amazing at the time, okay?

 

It's up to you which one to play, but I would go with the N64 version for added mood/atmosphere. D: Once you're playing and really into it, I don't think you'll notice the graphics. But it's the same game either way and it's still good regardless. Just remember that you'll have to play Majora's Mask with the old graphics.

 

You can look at the added features to the 3DS version here:

 

http://zeldawiki.org/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_3D

 

 

apparently there's gonna be MM for 3Ds too? ahaha

 

i doubt i'll finish OoT that fast...assuming I get Pokemon and ANimal Crossing (HOPING!)

 

:3 hopefully we will hear some news~ i just cant get over how bad the graphics are lol and N64 graphics aren't THAT bad imo.........still, I do want a 3DS too :(

[Midna]

 

Yeah, and Konami's press conference is actually tomorrow. (But I think they always do theirs separate from everyone else). I want to see some impressive things out of Nintendo next week because last year they didn't do so well in selling the Wii U to people. EDIT: Oh, and I want them to show English gameplay for Ace Attorney 5 D:

 

Sony is supposed to reveal what the PS4 looks like, but I'm not expecting anything crazy. Hopefully we'll get some more new IPs for the console, and I want to see more of The Last of Us (which is almost out).

 

Microsoft... =/ I'm not expecting much out of them, to be honest.

 

 

That's just a rumor right now...I'm trying not to get my hopes up ><

 

I'd rather see the new Zelda if I had to pick. I want to know where they'll go with the story now.

 

 

PLEASE BRING BACK MIDNA

 

T___________T

 

but i am interested too :D

still waiting for Wii U to be cheaper..lmao i do hope the graphics will be amazing. Wii U can totally handle it.

[Midna]

I was actually interested in some of the titles that Sony previewed in their PS4 reveal, so I hope those will get at least a little time in the conference. Infamous: Second Son looked very promising. I loved the first two, so I have high hopes for this.

 

I won't worry about it Majora until it's officially announced. But my hope is that they just don't touch the story or anything and give it a T rating (how it got an E in the first place baffles me, but the 90s were a different time xD)

 

 

It's still not as powerful as the PS4, but that doesn't really matter with Nintendo because they have a way of using their consoles to create really unique and memorable styles for each of their games. I wonder what style they'll pick for this Zelda~ Skyward Sword painting style? Cel-shaded? Or darker and more realistic?

 

 

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely be checking out the ones you suggested and I'll let you know what I think of them when I'm done.

 

 

I think that's up to Level 5...I don't know if they're going to be there. I wonder if the floor plans are even out. D: I borrowed a Japanese copy of the game and a 3DS from a friend once and didn't get far before I gave it back, but it seems good. Who would they get to voice Phoenix and Maya, though? =w=

 

That soundtrack is amazing T^T

 

Graphics aren't really a huge deal for me. as long as its tolerable idc lol. i want something from that trailer from the E3   

[Midna]

 

 

sobbing

 

 

OMMGGG

[Midna]

Not gonna lie, my partners ratings broke my heart a bit lmao

[Midna]

Not to be rude but I didn't expect someone who gave me such a standard KPop list to enjoy things such as:

 

1/10

 

 

3/10

 

 

 

The songs that were liked were expected:

 

8/10

 

 

9/10

 

 

I shall do my reviews tonight. I don't even really need to listen to the songs since they are so standard that I've listen to most of them quite a bit over the past few years.

I srsly cant wait for. Jpop vs Jpop music trade off. Those are always fun lol

[Midna]

What do you think of just doing a part 2 after this since we already have people signed up and lists made?

What you mean?

 

 

AND AHH ZANNNT
