ya man the Jounetsu no Daishou PV's so random like Namie's Do Me More

:roflmao

I think I saw it on their official website about this ?

oh yeah she's :love

I wish I could find pictures of her so I can make an avatar for you! :laugh

:laugh

try their official website ?

although the latest promo pics of them are not really that nice :no

I like their promo pics of Guuzen no Kakuritsu though especially the 2nd outfit that Chisa wore in the PV , the one with the cute red tiny hat , she's so kawaii in there

:laugh I found one! It's a nice BG to their blog! XDDD
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...extdoorava.jpg

(BTW, I made that avatar)

^ nice avater you made & yes Chisa looks good in that pic

that outfit she wore in Jounetsu no Daishou with that look's just weird on all levels

Everything about Jounetsu no Daishou is weird!! :laugh But then again... I think the PV is a modern take on "Alice In Wonderland"! Kinda makes you wonder if Namie did the same thing? XDD

I know that's why I can't help but to compare Jounetsu no Daishou alongside with Do Me More since Do Me More's the 1st video to have this whole random weird concept going along

I wonder if it's possible that both videos were directed by the same person ?

Perhaps... :laugh

fan-net says GIRL NEXT DOOR will have their debut album on 24th dec?..is it confirmed?
http://www8.plala.or.jp/fan-net/NewSong/200812sale.html

^ yup & apparently it will be self titled

I saw that on their official website I think but so far links are not added yet to get the album via CDJapan , HMVJapan as of now

anyway it is strange to release an album in Chrismas Eve xD

eh you think so ?

avex maybe wants to capitalise on the fact that it's Christmas that week & that probably might help boost sales of their 1st album ? :shrug

NINKI ranking:

#4 GIRL NEXT DOOR - 情熱の代償／ESCAPE - 55.30

^ mmm not bad but hopefully it can sell a bit more than Drive away

情熱の代償／ESCAPE might leak out real soon

i can't wait for the leak, lol. :P

yup me too!! can't wait for the leak! XD

:rolleyes
No, it is not the first video to have that concept.

Anyway, I really like the new video and song. Even more than their first two singles, which I didn't think were all that great.

I'm quite excited to hear how ESCAPE will sound , hopefully it will be nice although I wish that they can put out a ballad just like Breath

I hope the single will leak out real soon :D & I definitely will get this when HMV import stock over from Japan

single leaked. ESCAPE is awesome imo. Not too found of the remixes though.

yup, DL it from here: http://jpmp3.com/viewtopic.php?t=100540

i'm sure cloud will upload this soon, though, lol.

and i think ESCAPE reminds me of drive away and guuzen no kakuritsu in some parts :P all their songs have that same singing style to them.

yosh I downloaded the single earlier on from Japan Roll's forums , gonna listen to it later on after I'm done with round 3 of listening to otsuka ai's LOVE LETTER

what's up with them & ice cream remixes ?!?! :P

It's like their form of replacement for the instrumental

LOL :laugh

I'm frankly not big on remixes imo

ah I can't wait for their debut album to be out now :love

EDIT - cloudhoney said this about ESCAPE - "It is such a interesting song. Is it only for me or it really sounds like a mash-up with their three promotional songs (Guuzen no Kakuritsu, Drive away, Jounetsu no Daishou)? While the beginning sounds a lot like "Jounetsu", the verses are too "Guuzen" and the choruses scream "Drive away"."

kinda agree with him if you ask me

i agree too, i even mentioned it all sounding similiar in my previous post :laugh i'm glad i'm not the only who noticed.

LOL :laugh

but I must admit ESCAPE's interesting & it does sound like a mashup of their 1st 3 singles

it's cool , I don't mind it at all

STOP ROBBING MY DESCRIPTION OF ESCAPE, GURL!!!!!!!! lol, jk karen.

How could you ever guess that? You must be a witch, Lisa. :innocent

I really liked the single. Jounetsu is their best a-side imo and ESCAPE is an interesting song, as I mentioned in my review. The only annoying thing is the ice cream mix. The previous ones were much better than this. **** yeah, I was looking for it to make a nonstop song with the three remixes, but no, this is too much annoyingly to me.

^ :D :P

I frankly don't care about remixes so much but I must admit that the Shinichi Osawa Remix offers something different unlike the ice cream mix where it's standard remix stuff

I so can't wait to get my hands of Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE when stock comes in :D

You better take photos of it. :weep I wish I could buy this single. I gotta wait for their album, it's better indeed.

sure I will , I'm quite sure HMV will bring in stock of the 1st press of the CD only of the single since they did that for Drive away which really shocked me because they didn't brought in their debut single

That's awesome, Karen! *envies* Much luck for you. :D

haha thanks :laugh

hopefully CDJapan will send me an email update real soon with regards to details on their debut self titled album , I can't wait for that :love

yay CDJapan has confirmed that GND's self titled debut album's ready for preorder to be released on christmas eve :D

CD - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23727

CD + DVD - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23726

looks like there will be 14 tracks with Guzen no Kakuritsu , breath which's the B-side of Guzen no Kakuritsu (YAY I love breath :smitten) , Drive away , Shiawase no Joken , Jonetsu no Daishou & ESCAPE making the cut which leaves to 8 new songs

& oh both have 1st presses in different slipcases & photobooks (AGAIN) T_T

but heck it , I can't wait for the album to be out now :D

ESCAPE is included? Oh no, dammit. I'd like to have red ribbon for the album too but alright.

yup ESCAPE's in & I so agree with you on red ribbon , it should have been included as well but ah well

at least breath makes the cut

coooool!!! debut album!! thanks for the info!!

^ :D

I so can't wait for HMV Heeren to sell Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE this coming week

I was shocked when they imported GND's Drive away / Shiawase no Joken over cos they didn't do it for Guzen no Kakuritsu

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That means having to buy both editions or else my collection will be incomplete!!!! *Shakes fist at avex* XD lol.

On another note, I hoope the DVD has one or two new PVs...

I know & it's so annoying :grumpy

it's not fair that the photobooks for both editions are different , boooo

I actualy thought of buying the OS press , CD + DVD of Drive away / Shiawase no Joken cos of the photobook but I decided not to as it seems silly to do so

How do you think - the Pv's will be full or tv cut?

I'm thinking they'll be cut versions...I hope so at least..since the singles had "Special" versions. It wouldn't make them very special anymore and it'd anger me deeply. XD

I also hope the photobooks are bigger for the album. 'cos 5/6 pages really isn't enough for the price we'll be paying for them. >.<

maybe for the album's dvd , they will consolidate all the special versions of their 1st 3 singles's PVs ? that I'm not sure & yes they should be more generous in terms of the photobook as 5-6 pages's too little :dead2

full tracklist with romaji and everything. :)

thanks cloud , you're a life saver :D

my guess's that INST & NEXT DOOR (INST) will be interludes from the titles & eh album versions of Guuzen no Kakuritsu & Jounetsu no Daishou ?

this I gotta hear

Just to clean up the things:

- Seems like these album versions of "Jounetsu no Daishou" and "Guuzen no Kakuritsu" (not confirmed yet though, but I still believe in it) are those special versions of the PV. "Jounetsu" is a bit different in the bridge and "Guuzen" has an extended intro. "Drive away" hadn't such any noticeable change and that's probably why there's no album version there.
- All these winter songs are Xmas influenced mini-songs. Not actually interludes but shorter than normal tracks.
- The album is nonstop (it seems pretty fake and huh?)
- Yes, these "INST" tracks are interludes.

omg if that's true , I can't wait to hear the album version of Guuzen no Kakuritsu as I really like the long extended version of the song that I heard in the music video special version of it :love

haha yeah

it probably sounds like a trilogy of sorts . You just look at Winter Game ～Fuyu no Propeller～ , WINTER MIRAGE ～Fuyu no Zanzou～ & Winter Garden ～Fuyu no Yutaka～

ooooh nice tracklist. SOOOO happy if the album version of Guuzen no Kakuritsu is the PV version 'cos the orchestral bit makes me go *_______________*

Haha, just waiting for a DVD tracklist now.... *waits* XD

I know the intro orchestral for Guuzen no Kakuritsu's great

if what cloud said it's true in that the album versions for Guuzen no Kakuritsu & Jounetsu no Daishou are the extended ones , that will be awesome

^
OT:
Can I just point out that you're such a nice person. XD You make me feel not-ignored. haha.

haha thanks for the compliment :D

I wonder how will Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE will fare since it will be a month + before the album's released

karen is awesome, haha. :cool

and to keep it on topic, so are GIRL NEXT DOOR :laugh

Oops, I meant to say album. Will they be performing on any of the music shows?

umm..i think music japan and music fighter. they aren't on MUSIC STATION this week, surprisingly.

Both covers are beautiful!!! :yes
But I prefer the CD+DVD version more! :D

me too :yes

ick that's low for a 1st day sales T_T

hopefully things will pick up in due time ?

yeah that's surprising because I know they performed Drive away at MS last month

anyway YAY I got it just now !

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_0287.jpg

It's the CD only that I got of Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE since the local HMV's not allowed to sell the CD + DVD of it due to the censorship board & yes it's 1st press . Left side's the slipcase btw

hopefully I can upload the scans of the CD only single by tomorrow & Chisa looks great in the photobook :love

LAWL, why did they include pics of the guards on the booklet? rofl, that's too much.
The covers are fantastic! I'll probably buy it, but not now, only when my birthday comes, I think.

lmao I know that's a big LOL when I opened up the single earlier on

the lyrics booklet's a bit disappointed no pics of the band members :(

but the photobook's pretty good for that matter

my god. those covers have to be some of the nicest artwork I've seen on an album all year round. o.o

from JPM

The mu mo cover's quite T_T

anyway , yay scans that I uploaded of Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...47#post1710347

thank you so much ryopi :grouphug

I can't wait to see the scans

EDIT - oh man the CD + DVD scans are great . So much more better than mine anytime of the day

Chisa's such a babe in the photobook , damn , especially page 2

Thanks for the larger covers. Avex really loves GND for providing them with the funds to make amazing covers.

^ I can get my Japanese friend Shuji to translate it from Japanese to English if you want to

ooh I love all the covers! I want to have them all but I'll still go with the CD+DVD. I like white rabbits =) lol

oh not at all no worries

I have just emailed my friend Shuji about it , hopefully he will reply back real soon about this

Anyone has the translations for their songs? And what does Jounetsou no Daishou means? The new single is amazing, I love em!! :D

I think Jounetsu no Daishou means The Compensation Of The Passion

I know what rhythm going on in the translation

From JPopAsia, Guuzen no Kakuritsu translation posted by someone called oonqy

I could try translating their other songs if no one else will do it~

i love the promo piic! chisa's beautiful :D

Try as they might, they never really succeed with good covers do they, those are bad =/... They're only really good cover was for their last single imo

I think last single has worst covers
my list is

1.album
2.Drive Away
3.guzzen
4.jounetsu

Here it is the mu-mo shop limited version that has an additional DVD that has 3 versions of music videos of “guzen no kakuritsu”.

2. special photobook A pattern

The same as the photobook of AL+DVD（AVCD-23726）first press limited version.

hope that helps & oh man 3 different versions of guzen no kakuritsu ?! this I gotta see

thanks for those descriptions, karen!

wow, how many versions can a PV have? i think 3's like the most i've ever seen? :P

yeah me too

how many more different versions of a PV you can come up with ? :dead2

The 3 versions of GnK sounds quite promising but I won't get my hopes up. It might be just two different versions of Chisa singing during one of the scenes in the video...Such as her sitting in the theater (X_X)

When I think of this, all I can think about is how highly disappointed I was with the alternate version of Ayu's [Bold & Delicious]...Maybe they won't put out something lame like that.

Either way, I can't wait for the new album! It's sounds like it's gonna be awesome. And since the covers are wintery, I hope there's a winter ballad on it.

well I already seen 2 different versions for GnK , I don't know how will the 3rd edition look like man & I'm quite sure there might be a winter ballad looming somewhere in their self titled debut album

& eh isn't Chisa's bday last week or something ? :dead2

the album covers are so beautiful.

wow, apple-pi, thank you so much!! The lyrics are so good!!! ^^ Do they write them themselves? Thanks a bunch :D

I wish they promoted more the male members of the band. They center in Chisa even though they are a group, but it lends to think that Chisa is a solo artist. I wanna see the others more in the PVs and stuff!! They are not so bad looking to leave them always behind xD
