finally , the Hoshizora Keikaku PV is uploaded :thud

http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106220

I don't think it's as strong as Unmei no Shizuku on 1st listen :x but yeah the London like bus is there haha

it's cute the concept but eh Yuji & Daisuki are nowhere in sight D:

the last part of the PV is my fave *__* , it's so pretty the scenery/background setting

but yeah I need to listen to the song again before I can comment any further

I see you galneco 8D

omg~~~

I love Hoshizora Keikaku! :D

It's so cute! And Chisa is so pretty in the video! :3

unmei no shizuku @ MUSIC JAPAN:


chisa is sooo gorgeous! :luv2

yeah I agree , Chisa looks downright beautiful with a captial B ;__;

it's bit unfortunate that this single's not getting enough promo as much as I was hoping for but I hope it will turn out OK for them eventually

Thanks for the live perf. ;)
It was ok... Not super strong.

Anyway, here are my pictures of the CD+Goods :D

aww, galneco is adorable! :heart i like how the cover artwork looks.

anyway, i just saw the hoshizora keikaku PV & omg it's TOO CUTE! or should i say that chisa is too cute, haha. i love the song! :heart very cute PV, as well. i like how chisa player the guitar & electric piano like the other 2 guys would. the song is super catchy, too! GND totally pleased me this year with this music!:D

woww the package is amazing!!!
The single is available in the Downloads section

The remixes from Unmei no Shizuku ~Destiny's star~ / Hoshizora Keikaku are surprisingly enjoyable & I don't really like remixes to begin with :p

Outta the 3 , Hoshizora Keikaku ~Merry X'mas thanks daddy ver~ is probably my fave due to the whole festival Christmas feeling haha

Unmei no Shizuku ~Destiny's star~ / Hoshizora Keikaku is at #5 on the 1st day

not bad! :D

At least it's in the top 10! haha :)

good peak!!!
yay!!

It went to #4 :D

even better! :yatta maybe the movie tie-in is helping a bit?

Ultraman is a big thing in Japan so yeah it's very certain it's helping them a lot more than their previous singles which they released this year

Frankly whatever they have released this year have been great , it's a bit unfortunate they're not doing as well as they should .__.

Ehr, I have a feeling some people here are a bit blinded by the position, but look at what the no. 3 is selling. If that number is that low already, it doesn't bode well for GND o.O"

dude I wasn't talking about their sales to begin with , since now they even have difficulty selling 10,000 + in the 1st week

but rather , I was saying that they haven't have a top 5 hit since Be your wings / FRIENDSHIP / Wait for you

Uhm, I wasn't even referring to you? :P

if the ranking is in the top 10, then i still consider it to be great. i think #4 or #5 is better than....#33. :P

Well yeah, I'm not denying that, hehe ; ). I just meant that the sales on a certain position can differ greatly from week to week. In one week the no. 5 sells 25k, in a different week it sells 8k. That's why I'm saying that, until we know the sales, the position alone might not tell us enough about the single's succes ^^

according to natsu style, they sold 6358, is not the total sales, but for 3 days is really good

Well...sadly enough GND seems on a downward direction. 2010 wasn't a very good year for them. But then avex seems to have axed their budgets significantly. I wonder what sort of album they will have in 2010...

yeah it's very unfortunate . Already from Freedom onwards , the budget for their PVs have been less than stellar , if you compare the PVs of their earlier works with then & now ie.

it's sad because I think this year , they released some of their best & strongest stuff to date

Freedom is 1 of them & also most recently Unmei no Shizuku

I hope despite all odds , they will not give up on setbacks like this

I'm not sure but I read on Chisa's twitter that she was going to record new songs. Also they posted on the staff blog that they were recording.

Which makes me curious if it they're going to release a album or single.
Which is also kinda fast but they announced Unmei no shizuku also just a week after RTBAL release, so who knows lol

I actually hope It's a single xD; Cause their album releases were mostly in the winter everytime xD so something in the spring would be nice xD i guess

first week sales:
top 10 again! :) i hope it'll get to 10k, though.

yeah their 1st 2 albums were released around Winter time & it wouldn't surprise me if their 3rd album will follow suit

NEXT FUTURE had 4 singles while their self titled debut album had 3 singles , so maybe their 3rd album will only contain 3 singles ?

Yeah I noticed avex have axed their budgets and their last single seems to border on tacky with regards to cover art and videos. I miss videos like Jounetsu no Daishou which had a lot of symbolism and imagery... :(
I am guessing an album is coming up since their pattern's always a winter album till now :yes

I've read they're going to announce their 11th single in march! Which means the album will released in the summer?
Also they have a lot of time to get ready. So I hope this song and MV will be promised good!

*p.s. bad English, sorry xD

*P.S.S. More details will be announced 6th january, so stay tuned! xD

^ awesome! i actually wanted a spring single. and what better month for a single than march! :laugh thanks for keeping us updated!

oh well, another single sounds great.

Another single? Guess avex is still trying to find a hit for them... hopefully this time they'll take their time to release something in great quality.

Ready to be Lady at the 52nd Japan Records Award :)

I hope the pv'll be great for their 11th single.

thanks for the performance! chisa was so cute & pretty! :heart ready to be a lady is still amazing!

i just read that info on this new upcoming single is in their fanclub. can anyone here access it? :P

from PikaPiiKawaiiChu~ @JPM

The new single will be released on 02.03.2011

And as far as I know there will be: CD+DVD (MV Ver.) *Drama and story-driven first MUSIC VIDEO will be recorded! and a CD Only. *containing 2 new songs and 2 remixes.
The title is not given yet.
This song will be about human beings their feelings and It also said that Chisa is having a challenging vocal performance in it.

awesome , looking forward to that & let alone getting more details about their new single as time goes

so I guess with their 3rd album , it will be the same as their 2nd album in containing 4 singles for each release ? :O

I think so too. 4singles 1-album and so on :P

^ Is that Chisa in your avatar? :D

Yep It's from a RTBAL performance! xP From the same video they posted in this thread.

their new single will be released on 2nd March :)

CD http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/deta...ite=mailmagart

CD + DVD http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/deta...ite=mailmagart

i'm very happy to see some sites listing it already!!

HMV? Do they accept paypal payments?

sorry but HMV Japan doesn't :x

you can wait for CDJapan to get the lists up for preorder soon but it's a public holiday in Japan tomorrow , so that have to wait D:

Ok, thanks for the info! ^^

YesAsia & CDJapan accept PayPal . That's the drawback if you order something from HMV HK/Japan because they don't , other than credit card :x

it's ok , YesAsia & CDJapan will get the links for GND's new single up & running soon !

CDJapan links are already up to preorder GND's 11th single (title tbc) which will be out on 2nd March

CD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-48030

CD + DVD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-48029

Just got an e-mail from NEXT DOOR :)

Seems GND will also be releasing their 3rd album in March. :)

More details are to come out on the 20th ;)

omg that's so amazing! :yatta

thanks for letting us know! keep us posted! :D

a new album, yay!!
more competition for alan, XD

So even though they said the info will come out on the 20th... some info was released today! (I wonder if more info will be released tomorrow, or if they just updated a day earlier...)

The (still untitled) 3rd album will be released on March 16th!
It's planned to have a total of 6 new songs, with a total of 13 tracks altogether!

There are 4 versions:
CD+DVD (music video version) *plus 30 minute documentary
CD+DVD (FIRST TOUR 2010 FINAL) *around 60 minutes
CD+Remix CD *12 remixes including "Infinity" and "FRIENDSHIP", among others from the 2nd album
CD *limited low price version with special jacket (2,100 yen)

The unfortunate thing is that apparently, if I'm reading it correctly, the 11th single's PVs are either different than the single's version, or not included in the album's DVD at all...I think it's just that they're different. Sort of like how Orion's PV was in color / black & white

Personally I wish there weren't so many versions. -_-. But I enjoy looking at covers, so that's a plus. haha.

Fanclub members apparently get some goods (not yet announced) and purchasing through mu-mo gets you a GALNECO sticker.

Also, in May, GND will be doing a "one man live"--but I don't know what that means...as their a 3 piece band, haha...

oh thanks a lot for more news surrounding their 3rd/new album <3

omg 4 editions ?! D: D: D: D:

Which make me curious , which edition(s) you will get for yourself ? xD :P

^ haha I'm not sure yet >_<

I'll wait for more info to be released before I make a decision I guess...you?

oh that's a simple one for me haha , CD + DVD with PVs xD

I have their 1st 2 albums in CD + DVD format since that's the only edition that avex Taiwan make but both are 1st press editions *__*

I don't know if they're going to make for both CD + DVD's for their 3rd album but we'll see xD but yeah I will get the edition with the PVs :)

So there aren't any photobooks? (;TAT) *sad* I love their idea to put photobooks in the album releases but too bad they aren;t doing it this time.

haha I just assumed it's another cool way to say that they're going on tour :p

it's a 1 man live (shouldn't it be called 1 woman live ? xD) in the sense that it's only Chisa that's singing while the other 2 are not xD

hopefully they will include a photobook as a 1st press item cos I like that idea as well *looks at my copies of GIRL NEXT DOOR & NEXT FUTURE which came with photobooklets <3

Yeah let's hope! xD you mentioned the first press. I completely forgot haha so there's still a chance! xD
Also I wonder what the special gift is? and It's limited? ..maybe this one contains pictures?

Also for the six new tracks,, I hope they'll make 1 inst. track. and the other 5 vocal tracks. Since they had 2 inst tracks in Next Future with a total of 9new tracks.

It wouldn't make any sence if they would do the same like "Next Future" since that will leave 4 vocal tracks and 2 inst tracks.

haha hopefully your predictions will be right xD because this time round , they have less album tracks (aka less new songs) & the singles which will be in their 3rd album , it's quite a lot if they include all of them D:

I have a feeling maybe 1 or 2 will be axe out ? cos I know Wait for you wasn't included in NEXT FUTURE T_T

This is something I translated:
Moreover, as also announced ALBUM1 Limited Edition CD Only Offers photos!

Does this mean we will get photo's from the first album if you buy the limited low price version? :/ I wonder..

maybe yes maybe no ?

it wouldn't surprise me again if the CD only has bonus stuff that the CD + DVD will not have ~_~

already for NEXT FUTURE , the 1st press of the CD only comes with a bonus disc featuring remixes which you wouldn't get if you buy the CD + DVD

hopefully more details on their 3rd album will surface soon even though for now , 16th March looks really faraway :tired

You're right! Dx
We don't even know the 11th single title! Dx Hope they announce it soon! I'm just too curious I guess xD;

xD

it's ok , I'm excited for their 11th single & 3rd album too so don't worry haha

I'm hoping that their new single will be a single A-side for once because if not , ick the ratio between singles & album tracks will be quite :x

btw 1st press of their 11th single comes with a slipcase according to both CDJapan & HMV Japan

Yeah that's good! I hope all the album versions come with a slipcase too! xD I hope they will give us more info about the album tomorrow... xD;
And I'm so happy they didn't decide to release their album on the same time as their single. especially cause Koda Kumi is releasing hers on 02.03.2011. She's so popular and I wish GND get's some great sales.. cause they deserve it! xD

march 16th! i'm excited! but only 6 new songs? :P

i really wonder what the covers for this album & the new single will look like.

Me too. I hope both will be different.

links are up to preorder their 3rd album which will be released on 16th March

CD + DVD A http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38249

CD + DVD B http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38250

CD C http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38251

CD D LE http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38253

it's LE in the sense that it's priced about 1,000 Yen cheaper than the normal CD only :O

1st press for all editions except for CD D comes with a slipcase

Man I wished we knew exactly what the limited edition is.. :/

I guess just the price itself , makes it limited ? after all it's 1,000 Yen cheaper than what a CD will cost if you're under avex

then again , they probably throw in some bonus stuff which you wouldn't get in the other 3 editions ~_~

Yeah probably.. LOL I still wonder what kind of bonus. Maybe GALNECO related?

I'm able to listen to one of the songs from the new single on GND's mobile website--but there's no title listed, haha... it just says "11th single" haha. But it's uptempo. I was hoping for a ballad a la Orion :\ But there's still a chance the other song is a ballad :D

gonna order the LTD type D this time <3 Love when they reduce the price

Cool I really wonder how it sounds.. I wonder if it's the same like jounetsu no daishou~~ x)

I've read they are going to record the MV for their 11th single in Yokosuka City Cultural Center on the 31.01.2011. And they are asking fans to join again. Are you going to their MV recording? :P I'm just wondering xD I wish I could be there too, but unfortunately haha :thud

The title's of the single and album have been announced!!!

Single's title: Twitter 〜silent scream〜
Album's title: Destination

I hate the single's title. I assume the story will have something to do with twitter? haha

o_O , wth Twitter ~silent scream~ ?

I don't know if I should laugh at the Twitter or slient scream portion lmao

but I hope the song will sound despite the somewhat ~_~ title

& oh nice , Destination :heart

any 1st press for both single & album , aside from slipcases ? :O

^Nothing's listed yet aside from slipcases :\

aw T_T

I really hope they will include a photobooklet for Destination because they have done so for their 1st 2 albums

it will be a bit upsetting if they're not going to do it but considering that the album will be released in 4 editions , I guess you have to cut some corners & etc =(

lol, the new single is called twitter really?
Destination sounds amazing for me.

O.M.F.G. LOL @ the single name!

Wow third album already? I remember when they just released their first album (which was a flop) and I still haven't heard NEXT FUTURE yet ~*whoops*~ Downloadin' that later today and hopefully it's WAY better than FLOP NEXT DOOR.

I like the single's title :)

haha, wasn't expecting twitter to be involved! :P silent scream reminds me of BoA's silent screamerz. :P

the album title is very nice, though!

Maybe they'll change the title of the single :-\

Originally the title planned for Hoshizora Keikaku included ~Ring your bell~ in in the title... *shivers*

Twitter ~slient scream~ & Destination's titles have been updated officially on their website

http://girlnextdoor.jp/discography/

scroll down on there to hear a 40 seconds preview of Twitter ~slient scream~

despite the somewhat lame title , it's surprisingly upbeat o_O , maybe it might be a Winter Game or Orion part 2 ? :p

Sounds nice :)
Can someone rip?

The preview sounds nice :) As for the title, maybe they mean "twitter" in it's original meaning?

...twitter has an original meaning? LOL.

mmm, i don't like the preview

Yup!

From Dictionary.com:

haha, i never knew that before! :laugh thanks for telling me! :P

the lyrics to this song should be pretty interesting, then. :P

full song
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xguibd_y_music

thanks Mylene !

Wow , Twitter ~slient scream~ sounds much better than what I thought D:

The title is still ~_~ but it reminds me of a cross between Freedom & Orion & I also can detect a bit of sa・ku・ra there , somewhere

I so can't wait to see covers for the single , the PV & also covers/tracklist for Destination too :p

Sounds better than I expected :) Can't wait for the covers

good song.
Maybe the best since Freedom.
thanks

honestly, the full version is so much better, thanks karen

the music reminds me of early ayu songs :P

i like it :)

The tracklist for Twitter ~silent scream~ has been released ;)

lol fallin' angel sounds very interesting xD

I hope it will be a dark B-side like Reason for tears , that will be ace :D

The release date of the single was pushed back :-\

Now it's being released on 3/16

oh so now it will be released on the same day as Destination

2nd March's a bad week to release a single because of Akanishi Jin's debut solo single Eternal so I don't think avex want to take any chances for GND to get whacked by Akanishi :O
