kawaii otaku's signature's so innovative , I think it pays homage to the cover of their 1st single Michi

The GReeeeN thread was so dead when it was 1st started . It feels strange & scary at the same time in that it's so 'alive' now @_@

woah I think it's cool that the airplane you were on had a jpopradio

if not you wouldn't have discovered Ai Uta & eventually the rest of GReeeeN's music :D

I've been on an airplane that had global music.. but they only had a few of Japanese music on it
(Hamasaki Ayumi and Mr. Children)
and the rest was like hispanic...

but anyways, i wish the airplanes i rode had GReeeeN's music playing on it, that would be so cool

is this the song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7O2oVTainM

if so, i love the sound of it, lol. :P

^ I think it's but the 1st thing caught my attention was Ikuta Toma & V6's Okada :roflmao

Hi, guys~ New here :D

I have been a big fan of GReeeeN since Ai Uta. They are awesome <3

Tobira is amazing and Shonen ga Yue no Shonetsu is addicting :luv2 Awesome, as always.

Looking forward for Ayumi! But i couldn't listen anything :(

^ that's a long time, welcome to the GReeeeN thread XD
we're all GReeeeN freaks around here >.<


the song sounds good :)
i can't wait till it releases >.<

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-89043

The CD only of Ayumi has no 1st press bonus , that only applies for the CD + DVD edition

aww... i guess i have to get the CD+DVD edition then, i don't have a problem with that .. >.<

LOL good for you I suppose

for me I'm not sure if I want to get the CD only of it in due time or not :(

I have too many things to buy in months to come bah

At least you don't support JE bands because in Jan & Feb , an onslaught of items will be there for me to buy & etc :S

same thing goes for avex trax artistes too bah :weep

I don't know what the external bonuses will be , maybe a short movie in the DVD cos they did that for the DVD of Kiseki so I'm not sure

haha it's not painful although the accumulation effect's .

at least JE have OS presses of their material available which're much much more cheaper for me to afford & that's already lucky . Some of the acts that I support don't even have at all (like BREAKERZ , Kanjani8 & alan T_T)

yeah it's not necessary might be a poster . It might be something else

like maybe the CD only has an extra track that the CD + DVD will not have & etc

I don't really have much to buy yet.. i support artists, sure, but most of them aren't releasing much early next year, so that gives me an opportunity to support GReeeeN
...and i'm not too much of a JE fan either XD

i mostly support avex artists, ha.

but even then i don't have many opportunities to actually buy CDs

^ i bought a lot of cd's while i was in japan, maybe because there is no other way to get music if you are on vacation XD
(no internet...)

lol it's probably for the best that you're not much of a JE fan because they keep stealing my $ over & over again :weep

thank goodness for OS presses of their stuff or else I will be broke within a snap

I recently fell in love with GReeeeN!! I can't wait for their next release. :)

i always get broke by buying all these amounts of CD's at once...
i save a lot of money for just CDs and then, when i have a lot (probably about $100), then i start buying a lot of CDs that i've wanted.. and this happened with my Epik High and GReeeeN collections... i bought everything by them at once and now, i have $11 for CDs at the moment... i need to put out more money for GReeeeN's new single XD

^ for me now I be more selective when comes to buying singles & instead depending on the artiste , I just buy their albums to get more bang for my buck

If I really love the artiste like in a die die mode then yes singles/albums & what's not for me :laugh

^ haha i tend to not care so much about $20 for 3 songs or whatnot... i usually wait for the album and if there was a track in the single that wasn't in the album, i'll buy the single.. this happens a lot with GReeeeN XD

haha :laugh

I do hope Ayumi will sound good & that it wouldn't sound like a lame single

from JPM

so i guess ayumi isn't used for the drama "voice", but they will release a single for the drama in the spring. i dunno, i'm confused, lol.

OMG, that just really confused me a LOT...

what another single after Ayumi ?!?!

man they're really pumping up singles even faster than what I thought it will be :dead2

Oh wow, GreeeeN is getting a lot of activity recently!....
Can't wait to hear Ayumi and the theme to "voice".

me too & hopefully after that a new album will be out :D

they are also gonna sing for the ROOKIES movie, so there's a total of 3 singles for 2009 so far. "ayumi", the theme song to "voice", and the movie theme song :yes

oh wow there will be a ROOKIES movie ? that's cool & looks like 3 singles are up to be released in due time in 2009

hope all of them will sound good

eh are you sure about that ? I don't think so , at least unlike for alan's case , GReeeeN's single releases are not that confusing .

It's only confusing when you're given single releases details (ie. empty promises) but they're not being delivered yet by avex

^ oh ok I get it now sorry about earlier on , my bad

covers and previews are all up at greeeen's official website :D

^ Thanks for the tip off Lisa

http://www.universal-music.co.jp/greeeen/upch80105.html

lol typical of the guys to use weird pics for their single covers

So, I'm starting late on the GReeeeN fandom. What songs would you recommend? I already have their Kiseki single.

I like their previous singles such as Michi , their breakthough hit Ai Uta , Tabidachi & most recently Tobira .

I like all the B-sides in Tobira especially Fuyu no Aru Hi no Uta

Hi everyone! I'm new to GreeeeN, and I just found out about them! I love Kiseki!

I will be checking out their other songs. :)

melody, check out BE FREE. i love that song :D

I just knew I forgot something & that's BE FREE which's 1 of my fave GReeeeN songs :yes

Is anyone pre-ordering the Ayumi single? I might, but I want to hear the full song first, lol.

depends since I know the local HMV will import the CD only from Japan . Not sure for the CD + DVD but they did it for Kiseki as the DVD was region free .

I think like yourself I have to see whether the single is good or not , well the whole package be it A & B-side

Ai Uta & Kiseki both came in #3 & #1 respectively in the CDTV Premier Live 2009 - Karaoke Top 10 Ranking

source - http://seiret.livejournal.com

so deserving for sure :D :yes

They are doing so well in Karoake rankings, that's good to see.

oh yeah definitely & I must admit that their songs are very Karaoke friendly :yes

Do you think they will be able to end Kinki Kids' consecutive #1 hits? (27 in total).
Their single is being released on the same day. I would be sad if GReeeeN got a #2 position, or lower position.

I don't know it's hard to say although I have a feeling that GReeeeN might not be able to do so cos you know it's KinKi Kids man

& it's not just KK , for every single/album that a JE band puts out , it's quite a shoo in for them to get the top spot unlike some JE bands that I know that're not that 'dangerous' like V6 , Tackey & Tsubasa cos both bands's works are produced by avex trax

but it will be interesting if GReeeeN will be able to break KK's #1 streak but having said that I love the live performance of Yakusoku :laugh in which the duo did it at the recent Johnny's Countdown 2008-2009

Bigger cover of Ayumi for both CD & CD + DVD editions :

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/...UPCH-89043.jpg

LOL , the sport shoe's Nike :rofl & their signature band teeth logo's surprisingly not included

are they promoting nike now? :laugh

GReeeeN, Just Doooo it!

that's such an awesome cover!

i totally love it ^^

Ayumi leaked. You can listen it here: http://www.blinkx.com/video/greeeen-...v_ouWUMvaaQ5TA

OMG yay! gonna listen! :D

edit: i like the song that's gonna be for VOICE better :laugh ayumi is okay, but kinda slow for me. but it sounds really cool and better than tobira. :yes

heh :roflmao

sweet thanks

I just did a 320kpbs Mp3 rip of it via http://www.mediafire.com/?awftzwjatmc

I found out from CDJapan that あの頃から is the B-side of Ayumi . What's it in Romanji ? :shrug

=====

The song's nice ! It's classic GReeeeN basically & very karaoke friendly like their previous hits

They frankly never fail to disappoint me imo

The opening intro & the music which features a violin adds a nice touch to Ayumi

あの頃から is Ano koro kara, that means "since that time/season", i think :D

ah ok thanks for that

I do know the Eng meaning of it as I did a Google Translate earlier on but I just didn't know the Romanji context of it so thanks

Thanks karenpang for the mp3 rip of Ayumi!

On the topic of GReeeeN's #2 hits: (Ai Uta, Tobira). KAT-TUN held off Tobira from the #1 position, but I'm just curious which artist held off Ai Uta from #1. Does anyone know?

I'm not very sure about that but I do know for their collaboration with BACK ON which was Ashiato , they debuted at #7 & it was released on the same day as NEWS's Happy Birthday

so this will be the 3rd time that they're going up against another JE band in Ayumi's case

Universal sure has some guts to do that :laugh

I wonder when the PV for Ayumi will be airing. I would imagine soon, since the single is being released later this month.

the sooner the better :D

LOLZ.. AYumi means step and the cover is shoe...

seriously I wonder how the concept of Ayumi will be like

since Tobira involved well a door , maybe for Ayumi it will involve a group of people walking/running ?

:D

Definitely! :)

OMG :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt6orG7vh0o&

i love this song! they put the title, but i can't translate since it's in japanese :laugh this is so much better than "ayumi" to me.

^ sounds like a new GReeeeN song & it sounds really promising/great

but I was looking at Ikuta Toma more though in there :rofl

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Voice

they haven't state the title of the song yet

the title was in the video, though. i just can't read japanese, lol. :P

it was ?!

I have to do a double take on it again

yup, check around the 0:26 mark :D unless i'm just mistaking that japanese word for something else, but i assume it's the song title, lol.

I saw that & it's in Chinese

the orange textbox when that came on , it just said that theme song for the Voice drama will be sung by GReeeeN

no title of the song was mentioned though

I LOVE this song, whatever it's called, lol.

Karoake of Ai Uta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4fJDpOOjuo

I love singing along to this video, LOL. Now, if I could only find a karoake video for Kiseki, hehe!

awww okay, thanks for clarifying that, karen!

Whenever I go on their official site (http://www.greeeen.net), I am unable to read the NEWS that is posted on their site. It just shows up as weird characters. Does anyone know how to make it, so that the characters can be showed up in Japanese characters?

It's Tama something Uta. I can't make out the middle kanji too well.

really, melody? thanks! that helps a little bit, lol.

Thanks Melody , at least we're onto something now

I think the PV for Ayumi will be out in due time

^ it airs on the 12th, i think. :yes so only a few more days.

oh it's tomorrow in my end so it wouldn't be long now :D

there is another single in march for GReeeeN

huhuhhu

Their release schedule has been very good for the past few singles! :)

yup, that should be the single that's for the VOICE drama :yes

Funny how Ayumi Hamasaki is listed near GReeeeN, LOL!! Copied and pasted from last page:

03/** GLAY､柴咲ｺｳ(映画)
春頃 GIRL NEXT DOOR
未定 浜崎あゆみ(映画)､小田和正(ﾄﾞﾗﾏ)､GReeeeN(ﾄﾞﾗﾏ)､ｽｷﾏｽｲｯﾁ(ｱﾆﾒ)､ﾃｺ ﾞﾏｽ(ｱﾆﾒ)､V6(映画)､BONNIE PINK(CM)､abingdon boys school(ｹﾞｰﾑ)

Hehehe!!! XD

ayu is having a new single ("rule"?) in march?

^ I think so, or maybe it is Sparkle?

ohh, i love sparkle from the preview, so i don't mind, lol.

anyway, i hope the PV for ayumi has aired already.

^ I can't wait to see the ayumi pv. I wonder what it will look like. I hope it is an interesting pv.

PV is out

I guess so since the kanji is Eiga meaning film or movie.

seriously? thanks melody! i really wanna hear what rule sounds like :yes

and yay, thanks for the PV, TABOO! :D

OMG!!! Sankyou for the link. I hope it will be good. :yes

wow a new single in March ?

cool & I also see GND , abs , GLAY & V6 on the list , great :D

GReeeeN = Koda Kumi's release schedule, lol! XD

so the song for VOICE is called "Setsuna". they play it in the background of this video:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...14882612&hl=en

^ The song is nice. ^^

Can't wait for it!

wow Setsuna ? That's a very interesting name

sorry the 1st thing that comes to my mind's that Setsuna's the real name of Sailor Pluto :roflmao cos I'm such a die hard Sailor Moon fan

& you can download the PV of Ayumi via http://community.livejournal.com/music_mind/87022.html

Has anyone seen the PV yet? I have, and lol, the beginning with the band playing and singing Ai Uta was funny! XD

the beginning was funny & the band kinda butchered Ai Uta :laugh

I watched earlier on & er sorry but I can't seem the link between the PV & the song :dead2

at least for Tobira it's different due to the big door being used on the set :roflmao

^ The singer in the PV didn't really sing Ai Uta that well. :/
