^ I do that for the American releases. :lmao
Hope someday with posts will upload

Nice!

Does anyone know how kmc's (kyo music city) new system works now, with regards to downloads?

I haven't figured it out, maybe there's a thread there in English that explains it, hmm...

For some downloads, it says "Read Perm" in the title, and has either a 10 or 20 beside it, as I've seen. What are those? :shrug

They moved to a new site so the good point system is gone. I'm not completely sure of this but from what I'm gathering each user group gets certain privileges. One of them is read perm(Read Permission) which determines which threads you can read. A way of keeping leechers out. Tyro's(the first user group) immediately get Read Perm 10 and once you reach Member you get Read Perm 20. Also user groups are determined by credits. You get credits by contributing or helpful in other ways. So basically just posting won't get you promoted, but posting is good too.

Also Masami has a new rule that he/she will keep the read perm 20 until the day before the sale of the single/dvd.

^ Oh ok, I see, thanks for the explanation, your post was really helpful. :)

I hope masami keeps the Read Perm at 20 at the max in his/her download threads. I also noticed there are other Read Perms under people's profile page: 50 , 90. :eek I hope nobody will put 50 or 90 as the requirement to access a thread. :no

I need to check my profile to view what mine is, hmm...

Double post, but LuvYa has uploaded the new PV at Jpopsuki. Just letting people know,
since some of us were unable to get it at kmc.

He's back! Woot! :love

good news. thanks rookies^^

^ Yup, it certainly is good news.

Hope someone will be uploading it here in downloads section. :yes

I've just post the new pv

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...65#post1934365

Now to wait for a Youtube link

i've been searching all day for a youtube link, since i can't DL the PV right now. but i've found nothing :grumpy

That's such a pretty PV! Nothing really happens but there is still a message.

I like Futari song. Even if it's in the continuity of their last album. I like the atmosphere of the pv and some shooting time are really interesting. However, it's not their best pv and I don't watch it all the time!

so i just watched the PV. never expected such a simple PV, lol. but kiyoe (probbably spelt her name wrong) was so cute! i felt so sad watching her cry with tears at the end. really simple video, but really touching :)

Is the PV available to stream somewhere? Youtube, veoh, dailymotion? Any links?

PV on Youtube


Also Ikimoni Gakari will have a song on BEST OF J-POP COVER ALBUM　TOKYO JUKEBOX. Also on the album will be songs from alan, Perfume, and Mika Nakashima.

^ Thanks Sundae.

*goes to watch it before it might get deleted*. xD

Gorgeous! :heart Whoever did the editing picked such gorgeous colors.

Futari is okay for me, but I think I am looking more forward to the Naruto song, so I hope it will be their next single. :)

I hope we get more info soon about it!

Top 50 albums of 2009:

It will pass 400k very soon! Yes!

Wow it's good

thanks for info!

Good to hear :yes

Just letting people know, if you weren't aware, that the first post of this thread
contains a lot of downloads for their singles/albums.

Most of the links are still working I think, so check it out.

And also, you need to click on the cd cover to download, hehe, as there isn't
a download url in text format.

I was wondering about why the thread title had "download links" in it, then checked the first post, and saw it. xD

The Futari single is already leak on KMC^^
Enjoy!!

^ Thanks, I saw you uploaded the single in downloads section. :)

Anyways, fan-net has listed the "Hotaru no Hikari" single, and it will be released on July 15th.

Good news :yes

yay, i'm so happy they'll release that song! july will be a good month, lol.

Ugh, gotta wait til I get home to download (in 4 days :cry)

July is gonna be a good month for music.

"futari" debuted at #5 today.

This week, there were SO MANY singles released!

So, #5 is really good considering that fact!

Not bad. Not bad at all.

New Single - "Hotaru no Hikari".
Release Date: 2009/07/15
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ESCL-3253

i'm glad it's officially confirmed! :D

Wonder if there'll be actual B-sides instead of live versions.

"Hotaru no Hikari" details:

full song: http://pv6pvnewspv6pv.blog102.fc2.co...ntry-1918.html

^ Thx for info.

Can someone please romanize the second track, I'm curious what it is.

that pic is so good. thanks for song

@Tracy, Omoide no Sukima

The background is cute and creative.

YES I'm happy we'll be getting another single from them in a few weeks

@ Melody: Ok, thanks for the romanize song title.

I find it easier when the song is romanized, it's easier to remember the song title, plus when I type it out, it's easier to type it, than the Japanese title. xD

Another single? Not that I'm complaining, I'm really getting into Ikimonogakari lately. I love Kiyoe's voice.

Doesn't bother me. And, it's easier to write roman letters than like copy and paste kanji unless it's in the post above or something. I even learn new kanji and it's meaning. :)

I posted the new pv on the download section!

That video was pretty normal, aside from the fact that for the first full minute all you see are their silhouettes.

yea, pretty simple, but i liked the background effects. very pretty :P the song grew on me, too.

PV on youtube:

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

I totally agree with you. Only the Silhouettes & background are special. However, I think this pv is a bit better than the last one. The song is good too

Thanks Yoake and Lisa for the PV. :)

new single! :D

^ omg, new single, yes! And wow, 2 A-sides!

I hope a new album is going to be released in November or December! ^^

Yosh, more Ikimono!
Interesting, used furigana instead of katakana for Joyful.

never knew it'd be a ballad. very nice! :)

Woah, last time I heard the guys sing was Natsu Koi on their debut album.

"なくもんか" theme song for the movie なくもんか (out 11/14) will be released as their 16th single out 11/11

wow, 11/11 :dead2 new album in january, i guess? i really wish they'd wait a bit. :P

wow.. YELL sounds so nice!!

from JPM

good news to hear that they'll release a new single.
Yell is really beautiful. I prefer Yell than the 2 last song. I hope the second song will be great!

Kiyone is really pretty in this promo!

from JPM:

YELL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYP6HqbyvdQ

Absolutely lovely! My fave part is still when the choir sings with Kiyone and the two guys.

that's my favorite part, too! i play the PV so much just to hear that part :luv2 they should sing more with kiyoe in their ballads, because their voices blend together so nicely. :yes

YELL pv +song= AMAZING!!

I'm really glad to hear something new from their. This song is totally different of their previous songs.

"Joyful" PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZiWq4krBS0

So, so adorable, cute, and fun! Makes me wish that I could've been in the PV!

Joyful is a good song and the pv is funny but I really prefer Yell (song+pv)
It's really a fabulous song

tracklist for "Nakumonka":

Track two's title is "Orion".
The DVD comes with the music video for Joyful and there's two different cards for each release.

oh orion, the japanese sure love that title :laugh

so cute! but i have no idea what the bunny has to do with the song title :laugh

The storyline for "Nakumonka" is weird. Kiyone is probably portraying Yuta (main chara. name) when he was eight years old.

omg the cover are so cute!!
Cute pink bunny!!! ^^

aw.. she's so cute with the bunny stuff!
reminds me of Kuu on Best ~FT~

is this the first time that they had two versions for their single and/or cover art?

^ it's their first CD only and CD+DVD release but Life Album had two different cover versions and a slipcase box.

Nakumonka and Orion

new album is now listed for a 12.23 release :heart:

omg another album in december this year? craazy :tipsy

Another new album!? That's really interesting... And on the week after Ayu's single release again on a December - now they're really going for number 1 again...

And based on the sales for the upcoming single, with the fact that Arashi and EXILE is also competing, and the new album announcement, as the album MAY have the songs from the single, the single might actually not fare very well, as some may just want to wait until the album comes, assuming that the past singles (and most of its related songs) may be included in the album actually...

Woah, they just do not know the meaning of slow down. In a way though I'm really glad.

First press also comes with a 24 page booklet of unpublished photos from 1999-2009. That I can't wait to see.

I'm jsut wondering...is there any other album releases that will happen on this date? And, just for fun, any other releases (singles, DVDs, etc.) that will happen on or around this date (such as the Kanjani8's three-singles-in-three-days affair)?

Ikimono Gakari has been chosen to do both the theme song and the insert song for the movie adaptation of "時をかける少女 (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo)". The theme song for this movie is "ノスタルジア (Nostalgia)", previously released during their indies days, while the insert song is none other than the same titled original theme song to the 1983 movie version of "時をかける少女" (written and composed by Matsutoya Yumi and originally sung by Harada Tomoyo).


Official Website

cool, i guess these songs will be released as a single, eventually? :shrug

^ I guess so? Other than what I posted, nothing more has been detailed.

album previews:

SAKURA + Joyful @ BEST ARTIST.

Trying to update here...anyone have heard of like CD-rips or some sort?

^ Just found radio rips of some songs

Hajimaru no Uta
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4NOtHFB8UY

How to make it

Yume Kendai

Mahiru no Tsuki
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz5q03ZI_f4

So we only need Tenohira no Oto and Ashita e Mukau Kaeri Michi since Aki Sakura (Cosmos) is a revamped version from their indies album.

thanks for the radio rips, melody! :D

ikimonogakari will perform YELL at kouhaku.

good news. YELL is so beautiful! I can't wait!
