I don't know but somehow I'm quite scared off by that o_O

YUI IS BACK! I can't wait for FLOWER FLOWER to release their first ACTUAL physical single! (Well, somewhat...)

Yuna Ito... Where art thou? :/ She was the highlight of my summer when DREAM came out. That album was full of energy and good vibes. Then she just stopped making music. Sad, really. I feel like that's when my interest in Japanese pop in general started dwindling. A lot of my favorite artists just stopped making music... Sucks. Now I only follow Utada, Ayu and Namie lol. I don't even follow Kuu anymore. But I guess a general change in my music tastes is something to blame as well. I've been more into the EDM scene, as I've been attending festivals and shows.

I've been listening to a LOT of Galileo Galilei lately, especially their latest (and last) studio album Sea and the Darkness. I'm sort of feeling like I should be sad that they're disbanding just when I've really discovered them, but mostly I'm just happy that they released such a good album before quitting, none of their earlier releases ever appealed to me quite this much. Also, I hope Yuuki Ozaki will keep doing music, I've discovered that I really like his voice.

Also, Haruka to Miyuki's new album is really good. I found their previous full album kind of a drag and was worried that this one would be the same, but fortunately that wasn't the case at all! The end of the album is a little filler-ish, but most of it is really solid, and they worked in some surprising new sounds again. I'm pretty sure I'll be listening to LOVELESS/ARTLESS quite a lot in the upcoming weeks. :)

My friend today went to watch Ikuta Toma's butai & managed to shake his hand after that

Damn so envious of her ugh xD

AKB48 just released their newest single and it sold 1,1 million in its first day.

Itano Tomomi is coming to my country next month :O

KIRA just posted on her Instagram, that she's currently working on her 2nd full album! :woohoo:

^ Ohh, I'm excited to hear what she's gonna come up with next!

I truly fell in love with CLAZZIQUAI PROJECT over the weekend. I've been listening to them since the release of BLINK, but mostly just that album and a few other tracks. Now I actually listened to LOVE CHILD of the CENTURY, color your soul, METROTRONICS and, most of all, Mucho MUSICA attentively and holy shit all the albums are really good, I have so many new songs I'm addicted to (The Road, Flea, Beautiful Stranger -sliced cheese remix-, Beat in Love (Yasutaka Nakata remix), Flower Children, Hold Your Tears...). I'm so ready to hear their new album next week. :heart

I appreciate that BREAKERZ has a new photoshoot done for each of their fanclub magazines/trading cards they've issued for this year so far

They can choose not to do it (like reusing leftover photos & all that) but this makes me look forward in getting hold of their fanclub magazines/trading cards every single time

If possible , I would love to go back Japan again next year to see them again during their 10th anniversary tour

HOME MADE KAZOKU is coming to perform for the 1st time in my country

My sister is stoked as she likes some of their songs they contributed to the Naruto & Bleach animes

^ holy shit wow I would go see them. They make such great music!

Crystal Kay's VIVID is still one of the best jpop records ever. I still can't with the sales.

Mika will be doing her 1st man live concert in Taiwan

Ah so wish she would come here x_x

I hope there will be still somemore Japanese artistes that will come here at the end of 2016 & not just the same old same old people

Agreed.

Is there any live tour thread here ?

I'll be in Japan in november/december and since I can't catch Ayu/Namie/Kuu touring, I was wondering what other artists were touring during my stay...
I'm also interested in any external link/website, thank you.
(Tokyo : 11/20>11/25 & 12/07>12/11, Kyoto : 11/27>11/30, Osaka : 11/30>12/04)

^ There're quite a few artistes touring at the last 2 months of 2016 but unfortunately their tour dates don't match with the dates that you're going , prefecture wise :x

Domoto Koichi out of your many talents , 1 of them is not rapping so please don't venture into a rap career cos you look & sound awkward in doing so :laugh

I can't believe it's been over 6 years since this masterpiece was released:
