^Nice!

I like the card cover, the other are very soul-less covers as usual from JS

I may end buying that CD

Beauty4123 17th January 2014 01:43 AM

I listened to a preview of "AinoArika" & it sounds really nice! The covers are really cute, too. :)

Can't wait !

Ino and Yamada are blonde now

visionfactory 2nd February 2014 04:55 AM

I may be a bit slow on this but I've just realized NYC didn't release anything on 2013 :no

What happened to the group? I know Nakayama and Yamada released solo singles in 2013 but I hope they make a comeback together in 2014...

They even had this song "We Can Be Heroes" yet to be released...

title156 3rd February 2014 10:33 AM

Oricon's Nikki hasn't updated yet. What's wrong? It usually update every Friday. I'm so curious because I just realize that Tohoshinki will release their single the same day. Maybe, that's why J-Storm releases HSJ single in 4 edition...

About the song... yeah, I love it.
About the PV... it's boring... but I love the orchestra, the choir, and the pipe organ. lol

And about NYC, I remember reading the interview from magazine. They want to release their own album and tour concert. I hope Johnny will not suspend their activity. I also miss them at Kouhaku too.

visionfactory 3rd February 2014 03:04 PM

Own concert!?!? Sounds nice :D

Aisureba Motto Happy Life PV

Come On A My House ~episode II~ + Yume Tamago lol Very enjoyable ♥

KarenPang 4th February 2014 02:54 PM

Aisureba Motto Happy Life is cute but yeah it's very much like Come On A My House part 2

Somemore both songs are used in the Vermont Curry ads

Wonder if it's the same director that directed both PVs but I think I will prefer AinoArika over Aisureba Motto Happy Life

I probably passed that age of them doing cutesy songs haha

title156 4th February 2014 05:24 PM

That's Japanese mystery! Idols never get old, neither boys nor girls. lol

Beauty4123 4th February 2014 05:47 PM

I've watched the "AinoArika" PV & I really liked it! :)

The boys looked so nice in those red suits, and I thought the dancing in the PV was cute, too! I also really like the song! :)

visionfactory 4th February 2014 10:40 PM

I think I'm skipping for this single... :/ didn't like both songs

KarenPang 5th February 2014 12:46 PM

Having 4 editions of AinoArika / Aisureba Motto Happy Life definitely worked since they're #1 with 102,951 copies sold on the 1st day of release

Nice number! It passes Ride With Me 1st week number (163,000) but still lower than Come On A My House.

I just look back the first week sell of previous singles and see that Ride With Me is the first single since OVER that's not reach 200,000 copies in the first week. What's wrong with that single? X_X

I'm sure if Ride With Me was released as a double A-side , it would have gotten higher sales over AinoArika / Aisureba Motto Happy Life

Then again , this's their 1st double A-side single in 6 years so I'm already expecting sales to be a bit higher than what Ride With Me sold

you mean for NYC or LANDS ?

I don't know for NYC but for LANDS , their only releases were a single & an album in coincide with the release of the movie BANDAGE (that LANDS the band is featured in) and after that , they don't release anything else any longer

As for whether NYC is still active or not , I don't know as I don't see their name being listed in http://www.johnnys-net.jp/page?id=artistAll so most probably they're known as a special unit & not a permanent unit within Johnny's

Tegomass is different because they're part of NEWS (they're a permanent group in Johnny's) while for NYC , Nakayama Yuma is not part of Hey ! Say ! JUMP so that's where 'complications' arise

visionfactory 13th May 2014 08:30 PM

That's too bad, maybe now that Yamada and Yuma have their soloists careers the purpose of NYC was fulfilled

For me I'm surprised they're performing next week . Even if so , they should be performing the week AFTER that , not next week

title156 9th June 2014 06:24 AM

I think, they may perform double week. ;) The title tracks which have PVs should be performed too.

Anyway, I hate the covers, it's not smart at all... And no 40-page booklet this time? I don't see they mention it on the site unlike 2 previous albums. :(

KarenPang 9th June 2014 01:50 PM

Yeah their 1st 2 albums have special booklets but doesn't seem so this time round for smart

And frankly I don't have any plans to listen to the bonus disc in which I think if not for this , they would have done another special booklet as per the norm

YesAsia's description of smart

Quote:

Two years after their last album, Hey! Say! JUMP returns with their third album, smart. It has been seven years since the group's debut, and the boys, now all over the age of 20, are eager to show fans how much they've grown. The album's release coincides with the group's national tour, and features such hits as Come On A My House, Ride With Me and AinoArika.
http://www.yesasia.com/global/103566...0-en/info.html

and it's hard to believe the album will be finally out next Wed :dead2

Well, someone in Weibo already got the album and he/she is kindly to share the screencaps from PVs which make me disappointed because they're just live footage.

For JStorm to put live footages as PVs instead of them shooting in a scene/outdoors , it definitely means they don't really care that much in promoting smart as much as they should be doing for a single :no

That said , I hope smart will be good as this will be their 1st album not to have any songs that're mixed with the sub units singing . It's a good thing the bonus disc comes in 'handy' in this case

Bigger covers for smart

CD Only (same cover with 1st press CD only + bonus disc)

CD + DVD A

CD + DVD B

And the album debuted at #1 with 1st day sales of 71,929

I gave it a quick listen earlier on & most of the new songs are very grown up , definitely not the same as what were included in their 1st 2 albums

And the way the album is titled/spelt out on the covers are very smart indeed

S - songs
3 - three (with this album being their 3rd)
art - Art

Noooo, it's 128 kbps rip. TOT I hope better rip will be online soon because I rarely unseal my HSJ CDs (unlike ayu CDs which have blu-ray or concert blu-ray).

Bigtop 18th June 2014 07:52 PM

I need at least 320kbps or V0 VBR, not 128... Today's standards are really much higher...

The number is almost the same as JUMP WORLD sold in 1st week. Releasing the album in 3 editions doesn't help much. :/

BTW, FOREVER ROCKS!!!!!!

Bigtop 25th June 2014 09:46 PM

I'm not surprised. Congratulations to the "new" HSJ! (Well, not new, but then again, just about everyone's legal adult age in Japan, which is 20 years old...)

KarenPang 27th June 2014 03:08 AM

FOREVER is amazing and I frankly think Setsunasa, Hikikae ni should not have gotten the live performance PV as it's not that good

I rather Come Back ...? or Candle get the PV instead

Then again just like their previous albums , I appreciate the personal input from the members that went into some of the songs in smart

Surprisingly if not shockingly , smart outsold the 1st week sales of JUMP WORLD by a mere 156 copies

But to be fair , JUMP WORLD had 2 editions while smart had 4 (inclusive of the 1st press CD only with bonus disc)

Ikuta Toma to star in movie adaptation of Isaka Kotaro’s “Grasshopper”

Quote:

Announced Friday, Ikuta Toma will be starring in a movie adaptation of Isaka Kotaro’s popular 2004 novel Grasshopper. After playing a cold-hearted murderer in the hugely successful 2013 movie The Brain Man, Ikuta and director Takimoto Tomoyuki will once again be working together.

Ikuta’s co-stars include internationally-recognized actor Asano Tadanobu and Yamada Ryosuke of the male idol group Hey! Say! JUMP.

Ikuta will play Suzuki, a man who leaves his job as a schoolteacher in order to infiltrate an underworld organization and take revenge on the person who murdered his girlfriend. Suzuki will meet different assassins, Cicada and Whale, and the story will show how their lives will interlace. Asano will play Kujira (lit. “whale”), a contract killer who specializes in observing his targets, gaining insight into their state of mind and eventually manipulating them into committing suicide. Yamada’s character Semi (lit. “cicada”) is a fellow hitman who takes a more direct approach, utilizing his expertise with knives.

Ikuta expresses his excitement about working for the first time with Asano and he wants to learn a lot from the actor since Asano has made movies in and out of the country. In co-starring with Yamada, Ikuta says that he’s excited to see how [Yamada] pretty looks will transform into someone who nobody has ever seen before. High level of physical strength will be used in this movie that Ikuta wants to go wild as desired.

Filming of “Grasshopper” will begin on July 7. A nation-wide release is planned for fall 2015.

I'm very glad that avex Taiwan has made all 4 editions of smart as I'm not so keen to get the Japan press in any single bit & it's not helping that Oricon now does not count sales being shipped out of Japan anymore

I will order the CD only 1st press edition next week . US$21+ for the total cost , what's there not to love about Taiwan press ?

"Weekender" & "Asu e no YELL" are such nice songs, I love them both so much! They're lots of fun to listen to & I've totally enjoyed listening to them. :)

The covers are too cute! :heart All the boys are looking so cute & handsome, as well. I especially love their outfits, very colorful! :) If I had to choose only one cover as my most favorite, It would totally be the Regular Edition/First Press cover. :love
