:D

oh man I so can imagine that seeing that Downtown always LOVE to insult Kanjani8

past jokes on them including Downtown asking KAT-TUN on whether is Eito fired :roflmao

^They must really like K8. xD They're all Kansai people, so they probably can take a good joke. lol

The CM is nice. I'd like to have the album. T_T
Is it just me or is the OhNishiki Shibu unit song in English? Or at least the part in the CM. I've only watched it once, though, so maybe I was hearing things that didn't sound like Japanese lol.

haha as far as I know , Downtown has insulted K8 quite a lot of times , when KAT-TUN , ARASHI & Hey ! Say JUMP came on HEYx3 , Downtown never fails to poke fun at K8 on the sideline

Full album writing & composing credits for PUZZLE - http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/2143580.html

I'm very surprised at the solo segment , wow , all of them either cowrote/wrote/composed their own solos works which's cool

did that happened for KJ2 ?

& I have did up my album take on KJ1 F.T.O - http://karenpang.blogspot.com/2009/0...i-kj1-fto.html

a bit deja vu that I did up Kansha ni Eight exactly 2 Wed's ago :O

OMG HIKARI FOR RYO'S SOLO. *_*
i love his works with Ayu, TOKIO, etc. & CHOKKAKU's in quite a few too, which is nice, i like most of the stuff he's done for JE (he also arranged Ayu's "NEVER EVER" & Laruku's "Niji"!)

& yeah, i'm pretty sure they all took part in their solos for KJ2, whether it be writing, composing, etc. i'm not 100% sure for Hina & Yuu-chan's solos. *too lazy to get KJ2 out* xD

i've read off LJ, that "Glorious" might be all in English also, Aga-chan, so it might be true!

singing in English must be all the rage in JE right now. o_o;; Jin's "LOVEJUICE", YamaPi's "MOLA", KAT-TUN's "7 DAYS BATTLE"....well, tbh, it's better than perms, RIGHT?! xD

as long as I can understand their Eng dictation , it will be OK for me

Well, it depends on the focus. xD If people prefer to just look at them, than THE PERM is a B.I.G. no. :P
I don't mind them singing in English. Even if the grammar or pronounciation isn't the best. The thing is, though, that these songs will most likely be lipsynched in future performances. With mostly Japanese lyrics the likelihood that it will be performed live is at least higher.

7 days battle was in english? i totally didn't notice while listening :laugh

anyway, i'm looking forward to ryo's solo the most :love

i don't mind English either, but i do think it helps when you have some sort of grasp over the language. & i will admit, i like good pronunciation too. :3

which is why i prefer some full songs over others.

yeahh, i can't wait for Ryo's solo either! :D
as well as Ohkura & Yoko too (Yoko's "WONDER BOY" was my guilty pleasure when KJ2 came out, lol)

talking about WONDER BOY , that really surprised me . In fact I'm surprised at what they had to offer solo wise with regards to KJ2

I want another Mamoritai :weep

YAY :

I didn't expect it's 2 CDs , I always thought it's 1 all along hmmm but anyway the 2nd disc was a real surprise , content wise , I love acoustic songs for that matter but what's up with SanKyoudai's obsession with pudding & rice balls :laugh

I paid a mere US$17.99 inclusive of shipping & it's dirt cheap considering that it's brand new & it's Japan press

now's to wait for KJ2 to come & I'm done :D

YesAsia updated the description pertaining to PUZZLE

2 CDs only :

http://www.yesasia.com/global/puzzle...0-en/info.html

CD + DVD :

http://www.yesasia.com/global/puzzle...0-en/info.html

I'm quite impressed in that they even put them the dimensions/style of the box , it probably might be something like the 1 that's advertised in the CM

man

another PUZZLE song's leaked out & this's track 12 Giga-majime Ware Faito - http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/2146601.html

so I have already heard 3 new album tracks from the new album , all are shaping up to be really good

wow, the CD+DVD looks tempting. but NE! NE! NE! xD

i'm jealous of your KJ1, Karen. :grumpy

:P so probably that's the real CD + DVD that's featured in the CM :thud

:D , well you might get it yourself in due time you never know :innocent

YAY my Eito album collection's complete

KJ2 came just now woo hoo , thanks to my Japanese friend Shuji for buying on my behalf from Amazon Japan .

It's 2nd hand but it's dirt cheap & such a steal . I don't know how much it cost me cos he hasn't let me know how much I'm supposed to pay him yet :laugh

The packaging is :luv2

Uchi in the May issue of Kindai - http://creamy-amande.livejournal.com/18290.html

Since Uchi used to be in Eito / NEWS , I thought I post this here

Uchi in Only Star & Kindai - http://aya-takarai.livejournal.com/99775.html

onto PUZZLE , already 4 new album tracks were played on Murakumi & Yokoyama's radio show the past few weeks , all sounded pretty good & promising

oh dang, their album's coming out pretty soon! :D
i keep forgetting it's April already. i'm still clinging on to Spring Break. ;_;

i've been really good at resisting temptation to DL the leaked songs (...idk if i can do that w/ KT....we'll see, lol).

I know it's quite fast isn't it ? their album will be released in 2 Wed's time & I really cannot wait for PUZZLE to be sold locally & I'm quite sure the 1st press will be brought in :D

LOL

so far outta the 4 new songs that have been leaked out , I like Saite Ikiyo

not sure why but it's probably because it's the 1st song that Yokoyama & Murakumi played on their radio show so yeah

Gori-gori's fun too

i haven't heard any of the leaked songs yet. not cuz i don't wanna be spoiled. it's just because i'm too lazy :laugh i should really listen to their last album before PUZZLE, though :yes it'd make sense, lol.

lol that's true Lisa

go & listen to their 1st 3 albums (inclusive of their Kansha ni Eight EP) , it's awesome stuff

frankly I was very negative towards K8 , I used to think that they only can do crazy whack songs but their album tracks really won & changed me over
