I love the concept!
And I am in Japan on that date, but in Nagoya and attending Kuu's FC live.

Which is why I commented on her posts about it on her Instagram, that I'm not able to go and hoping there will be a DVD release for it.
Hopefully they hear me!

AKIHIDE is releasing his 6th solo album in June

About time for a solo album of AKIHIDE , I really hope he can sing again as I like his singing voice a lot more than DAIGO's :3

V6's Morita Go is now married , congrats to him !

2 more members before everyone in V6 is married x)

I still haven't ordered Ayaka's latest live concert Blu-ray, since I'm tight on budget and class schedule, and the fact that my computer that I use to extract Blu-rays/DVDs/CDs and convert them is being used not only by me for Elite Dangerous (an obsession I'm recently been having) but also my brother for Counter-Strike (his gaming obsession)...

(We can't even afford a new computer either, not to mention prices of certain parts are impossibly too high to bear.)

Omg, Kira posted a pic from recording in the studio today with the capture, that she has 14 days left to finish her album.
A new album is coming! Happy right now.

I'm surprised on how good FLOWER FLOWER's new album is

No singles in Spotlight but yet such a big change from Mi , in a good way . More aggressive , more experimental , less emo , I like !

Also a free Japanese concert is taking place this weekend in my country & my sister is going tomorrow night to see GARNiDELiA perform

I hope it wouldn't rain tomorrow x_x

I'm really glad J-pop (and international music in general) is getting more accessible, because that wasn't even a thing 10 years ago.

Agree! Downloading was a hassle (and sometimes even finding albums/singles were a struggle) and $30+ for one album is just too much. God Bless streaming and Japan opening up to the idea.

14-year old me is extremely jealous. It's been easier to check out new artists this way and keep up with my favs. Everything you mentioned is so accurate it terms of how things could be.


In other news, AISHA's Usotsuki Liar is a bop and I was pleasantly surprised. It's nice to enjoy a song as much as I enjoy her aesthetic lol.

That's good to ear that. :)

Tohoshinki's new album is so good! nice to know they still have IT

YU-A is going to shoot something in 10 days!
Which is why she's working out like mad right now to look good and fit. :laugh
Hope it's music related, it's been some time since we got something from her.

MIYAVI has worked on a song in Kisumai's upcoming new album

That's so cool , I look forward to hear what MIYAVI has came up with

On a sidenote , MIYAVI performed here for the 1st time last Sun , hope he had fun performing in my country !

And the day before that , Aimer & Amazarashi performed together at the same venue which MIYAVI performed too

Kira finished the album recording today, yay!
She took 5 days longer, cause the last song teased her so much. She says now we have to listen to the album. :laugh
Sadly she doesn't give a hint when it's coming, just that we should look forward to the release.

^ Looking forward to it, I hope we get a release date soon!

And YU-A is in the studio today recording!
So she probably is shooting a PV soon.
(still miss her long purple hair though- she was one of my inspirations to go with purple myself)
In the last half year a lot of great (female) artists are more active again, it's awesome.

Edit:
I said that about purple hair and now she's in a salon getting colour, covering it up with a purple snake gif. Hopefully it is purple again! :laugh

After ex SMAP's Shingo , Goro & Tsuyoshi left J&A , they embraced SNS in such a manner that they feel so liberated in doing so as technology is the 1 thing that really hampered J&A a lot

It's funny yet ironic that after the 3 of them left , J&A realised how much they lost out technology wise as they always feel it's the 'enemy' but after they saw how much digital success the trio received , now then they feel their old yet makes no sense no photos upload ban is so out of touch at this day & age

Now official media can upload photos of Johnnys taken at official press conferences & starting last Sun , avex has began uploading short preview clips that're Kisumai and V6 related

And also now Johnnys who appear in magazines , the companies are allowed to post the photos 'intact' instead of the lame grey hue that's always so visible

Maybe in future J&A will list their artistes' music online for sale and/or streaming ?

Kira is filming a PV in 2 days!
