LOL

it looks boring zzz

sorry avex this time round it's a no go for me :no

would have been better if the PV's longer T_T

23 *,*87,515 **1,934 NEXT FUTURE / GIRL NEXT DOOR 10/01/20`

I don't think NEXT FUTURE can pass 100K now T_T

but at least it went to #1 , that's it all matters

I didn't know that sakura have a pv.
Maybe there are other things that we can't see because it's only 43second.
I really hope...

I hope they release a new single before their tour starts.

Btw, I have added tags to this thread to make it easier for people to find this thread. Sometimes it is hard to find a thread when it moves back a few pages.

good idea Tracy , thanks for doing so but yeah I hope a new single will be materialised soon

wow that thread is dead. No news or pics from the tour?

well, they'll be at a-nation this year! but other than that, i got no news on them. :(

feels like forever that since NEXT FUTURE was released D:

I hope they can return back with a new single soon

thanks Beauty

Hope a summer single. They should do it!!

NEW Eccentric Girl is amazing ♥

Sadly it's one of their best songs and it's not even theirs xD

I've got the impression avex is giving up on them a little, I don't think they are selling as expected.

Well they are! They are having their own twitter, and I saw previews from their GND Live tour logo. And Chisa sung som song with artists like Michi and so on. :)

GIRL NEXT DOOR's 8th single "Freedom" announced! Release date: 6/16/2010

GIRL NEXT DOOR's 8th single "Freedom" announced! Release date: 6/16/2010 @ JPM xD

oh thank goodness! i've missed chisa and the guys! :P

whee :D :D

awesome I can't wait for this :)

great news!
Just as the moment when we wished a new single XD
nice timing

what is eccentric girl?
haha....


but yeah, excited for this new single ;)

fanclub members get an original off shot poster
mu-mo buyers get a clear file

*It will be 5 months from their last release
*New dance music to show you the new world of GIRL NEXT DOOR
*Music video will feature an intense dance sequence by Chisa



Also...

http://i40.tinypic.com/osqts8.jpg

*Fanclub members who have purchased tickets will have picture labeled tickets

http://i40.tinypic.com/zu0fft.jpg

*When fanclub members present their tickets at the concert halls, they will receive a badge (pin) with the tour logo as well as the city name.
*It's sure to become a collectors item

lol no offense but that design of the band's new logo oddly reminded me of BREAKERZ's GRAND FINALE as both used the school badge concept -_-'''

cool :)

yeah, i think the logo is rather lame, haha but oh well :P

Chisa will be in non no magazine, released on 5/20 :)



And here's the current tracklist for the single:

Eurobeat mixes again? Give us a break :/

^ well actually i love eurobeat so i'm excited :D

but it depends on the eurobeat...sometimes the remixes are horrible :P

but i kinda wish it was trance or something.

and as of now there are no first press versions, like slip cases or anything. :O

are those japanese characters the title or does it just mean "to be determined"? cause sometimes i see that when the b-side's title is not announced yet.

^ yup you're right on that Lisa

B-side's title hasn't been determined/revealed yet

okay! thanks karen! :D

it sucks that we have 2 whole months to go until the single gets released. :weep i hope they'll air the PV early, lol.

oh I forgot to add that another remix for Seeds of dream again ?!

they really like the song a lot huh ? O_O

why not a different remix for a change , like an acoustic of Orion or something

oh sorry, i forgot to mention it wasn't determined yet xD

actually since infinity has such a good slowed down remix, i wouldn't mind hearing more :)

yeah the ballad version of Infinity was pretty good

I feel that they should put out more of such songs , instead of a dance remix as a B-side over & over again >_<

Freedom will be used as the theme song to this drama: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/jotei-kaoruko/

Whoops, I've been forgetting to check this thread! Yay new single! :D

5 versions (of the same song? :shrug), 2 music videos? :thud amazing!

5 versions :thud

it actually means 5 tracks propably so it will be like

1.Song 1
2.Song 2
3.Remix
4.Song 1 inst
5.Song 2 inst

^ lol yeah I think so too

PVs wise , it's probably a short & long version thingy like what happened to their 1st 3 singles

what if they really put 2 PVs on the DVD, like be your wings and FRIENDSHIP? although FRIENDSHIP wasn't on the DVD, there was still two full PVs. :shrug

mmm honestly I really don't know but if you read at the description details , CDJapan put subject to change after they wrote the fact that the DVD will contains 2 PVs

so things can change as time goes by

FREEDOM covers:
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1811/253151t.jpg http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2125/253152.jpg

IMO, it's not their best covers. it needs...color. :P

....

not my fave covers of them & what's Chisa's wearing ? O_O

is that a bathing suit over a long coat ? :dead2

i was shocked when i saw the covers...it's so...normal haha

i guess i was hoping for something on par with their previous covers, but maybe it's to go along with GND's new image? or their "new world", as they said it haha

but i mean, it's pretty :D

looks like it's from the 90's though haha


but i'm disappointed that there's no like first press sleevecase or something :(

so is Freedom going to be a summer song since it will be out on 16th June aka a day before my younger sister's 20th birthday

now, apparently, when NEXT DOOR members purchase a copy of the single from the official fan club shop, they are entered to win a chance to become an extra on the set of the drama.

Only 5 people are chosen though

Also, all the people who buy through the fan shop will get a replica of the business card used on the show, or something.


there's also going to be event at a department store in Tokyo (Lumine) where GND will be cutting the ribbon, opening to store. Or whatever it is... haha

It's on 4/29~

I'm probably going :)





*edit: the contest is open for everyone who purchases from mu-mo, not just fanclub members :P

LOL

sounds like fun , I wish I was residing in Tokyo sometimes T_T

it's so boring to be living in my country here & there while it's pretty much Korean & Chinese pop music dominated :o :eviltongu

if you're going for that Lumine event thingy in due time , I hope you will have fun seeing Chisa & co. in the flesh

what?? It's not the covers. It's impossible...why they're so normal? Where is fun or magic or...? T_T
Hope the song we'll be better than the covers

Where's Chisa's pants?

:P

dont care about chisa xD But why boys are in pants xDDD I want sexy shirtless (or pantsless) GND boys :D

^lol :thud

her and lady gaga are ridding the world of the need for pants!

bathing suits for everyone!!! :banana2

lol what's missing for Chisa is to don a blonde wig :P

well she did that in the FRIENDSHIP PV in which you have to admit that the outfits she wore are very Lady Gaga inspired

Music Video: Preview of "Freedom" PV have been uploaded to Youtube! It features dance production by Kento Mori



Enjoy :)
I think it has hints of being a cool video, for example the American flag lip design looks really cool. Hopefully there's more of that. I'm still hoping some GND magic will be present, as it's lacking in the cover design haha. But Chisa looks good dancing! It does seems a little bit off to me though. Maybe it's because the different style they're using and it's not as happy as their previous songs :P

Schedule Updates:

*Chisa will appear on "O-cha no Mizu Hakase" on 4/27

thanks for sharing & oh it's something different/unique for once

but I agree with you , their upbeat songs were kinda like part of their trademark so for them to come up with something dark like Freedom , it's nice

Chisa looks hot there dammit X_X

I really love everything about this single, seriously! The CD+DVD cover is really nice, I also really like the composition of the CD only one, really original <3
And the song, damn the song, what else can I say ? I just keep it on repeat since we got the preview! Can't wait for the full version

And the PV looks a bit cheap overall, not to mention that horrible video editing, badly done, but Chisa looks hot and I love the choregraphy!

Never cared for GND before but I just heard Freedom and O M G!! what a cool song!!! I'll start follow them! haha


is there a full song somewhere?

xD xD

yeah it looks like it was quite badly done Mylene

I hope the final product will be better :P

the single wouldn't be out til 16th June so D:

at the meantime everyone has to deal with the short PV preview of the song

JUNE???????? :thud that's a lot of time! well the song is hot! I'll wait! u_u

LOL yeah the single will be out on June 16th

I'm actually shocked that the covers & now the short version PV for Freedom is already out xD

OMG THAT WAS SO HOT!!

and Chisa's dancing is just incredible!!

I'm so looking forward to this!

Karen asked me to rip the audio from youtube so here's the song :)
http://www.mediafire.com/?towmnz1mvnm

OMG. freedom is so HOT. :thud

such an awesome song so far. i think the PV is pretty good, but the song is like...so much better, lol. i wanna hear it in full now! :weep

Goods Update: The goods for GND's tour have been fully updated. Previously the postcard set pictures weren't posted.

http://i43.tinypic.com/28s7b4j.jpg

those concert goods of GND gives me that military school vibes

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing

WHOA. "Freedom" sounds really good from that preview. i was expecting another...typical GND song. :laugh i'm glad they're mixing things up for once! :)

CHISA's arms in that preview tho...D:

^ yeah they look like Madonna's arms :x haha

but, Chisa is really skinny so... and she constantly updates how much she eats ice cream! :P

Freedom to me sounds like their more darker songs on NEXT FUTURE , like Tri△ngle & Muboubi na Jun'ai

I frankly want them to release more of such songs as it shows a different side of them instead of being happy go lucky all the time

LOL yeah Chisa's arms are D: D: in the PV . I think they got over photoshopped or something

then again on Shin Domoto Kyoudai , she mentioned that she does muscle training & she has 0% body fat despite all the ice cream she whacked xD

promo pic for Freedom

http://i42.tinypic.com/2w4bsb7.jpg

omg that's so cool . I love Chisa's outfit & gloves will DAIGO be wearing her gloves ? wouldn't be surprised :P

I think it will be first non pv cover for them xD

ooh thanks karen for the promo :D
looks really cool!

cool promo picture! i like those tour goods as well. that t-shirt looks cool :cool

PV
Can't wait can't wait can't wait~~~~~

ahh i'm so excited to see it! :tipsy

oh wow tomorrow the Freedom PV will be aired

sweet , can't wait to see the whole thing in full

awesome :D cant wait to see it!

can't wait :D

has the B-sides titles been updated with new info ?

last I know , Freedom will have 2 B-sides

- title tbc
- Seeds of dream (EUROBEAT REMIX)

it hasn't been updated yet :(

still waiting ~

^ it's only 1am in Japan, at least 8 more hours before getting it (hoping that someone will record it and upload it quickly :3)

^ i was referring to the tracklist, not the pv :P

i live in japan xD


But I found the PV on youtube :)



i think it got cheesier :(
i'm probably not going to buy the DVD version this time...

DAT AMERICAN CGI EAGLE. D:
lol. looks like a pro-American vid to me, ahaha.

i really like the song though. it's really catchy! :)

Love the song <3
PV is still cheap but the choregraphy is really awesome, I love Kento Mori <3

song - fantastic & probably is like 1 if not my fave single of the trio . They never released a single that's edgy/angsty & Freedom's :D :D :D :D

PV - the CGI American eagle is a sorethumb lmao & totally un-necessary

I never thought Chisa can make military wear look good O_O & for once , she's in pissy mood xD

can someone translate the song?

Freedom is amazing ♥♥♥♥

NOT DOWNLOADING RIP UNTIL SINGLE LEAKS XDXDXD

(i'll try to resist :D)

I really love the song XD

amazing song!! :cool the PV turned out to be a bit better than i thought, too, but i think they still made better PVs than this, lol. regardless, i totally looove the song. :heart chisa does the dancing great, as well!

THE PV IS GREAT!!

FREEDOM IS HOTTTT!!!!

I hope this song can bust their popularity up! It's their best song to date.

So I went to see Girl Next Door today at the opening ceremony of Garden 9 in Shinjuku!

There was a limit of 200 people (but I don't think 200 came) and I was number 38~

But yeah, Chisa opened it by cutting the "ribbon"--which was ivy, to go along with the garden theme--and then GND played 4 songs.

Jump
Orion
Seeds of dream
Infinity

:)

Chisa was cute, she had a pink skirt on, a white t-shirt, big pompoms in her hair, and white converse boots/sneakers~

I wasn't able to take any picture, but Chisa's voice was very good. Not squeaky at all. Sometimes a little flat, but overall, not bad!

It was fun, but a lot of waiting haha.

that's cool :) , glad that you had fun earlier on

how were keyboardist Daisuke & guitarist Yuji like in person ?

funny that you didn't mentioned them but only Chisa xD

^ haha well, i wasn't really paying attention to them :P

but Yuji and Daisuke were pretty quiet haha. they didn't say anything, actually... haha
but yuji's guitar playing was really good.

and when Chisa was talking about when the chaku-uta would be released, she tried confirming the release date with Daisuke and he said he had no idea, haha.

*oh, and Daisuke looks much better in person, haha. While Yuji looked, well, a bit old :x

But they were dressed nice :D haha just black clothes though :P

:laugh

I guess this happened when you're the frontwoman in a trio . The other 2 probably doesn't mind Chisa to be in the spotlight & the one doing most of the talking

strange that they didn't performed Freedom during the event hmmm , I thought they might , I think it will be something great to look out for

^ yeah i was anticipating on seeing Freedom, but the stage was really small and I think the song would lose a lot of impact without any backup dancers... haha

and yeah, I don't think the other two members mind xD

I watched the new pv. It's good and the song is really different from what they made before. I'm glad. But Did you noticed the same thing that me? I think Chisa's arms are so thin. It looks as stick. It's not beautiful at all!
As I already noticed in one of GND last pv's she has thin legs too.
I'm afraid because maybe she's anorexic.

I don't think Chisa's anorexic

she said herself that she loves eating ice cream & she does a lot of muscle training which probably explained those scary looking arms she had in the Freedom PV

also she has 0% body fat which gross me out :dead2

Yeah but I already did muscle training but I never had that size of arms O.o

0% body fat! She doesn't be hot in winter XD

I'm just a bit worry because I don't think it's healthy to do a lot of sport & no to have a minimum stock of fat. She could have some health problem when she'll be older.

if you do muscle training rigorously then you will end up getting what Madonna has in the long run which's really disgusting & gross

a little bit of it is ok but yeah it's a bit o_O when Chisa said that her body fat % is so little if not 0%

even I myself never heard of someone who has such very low body fat %

I love the preview for Freedom! To be honest, I´m really not a fan of this type of music and I don´t really like her vocals either, but Freedom blew me away! I just hope the song won´t lose any of its power without the video ...

avex spent a great deal of $ on this trio since day 1 when they were formed 2 years back

I say outta the PVs that the trio has made , Freedom is probably 1 of the lesser budgeted ones & the special effects going on is very minimal

that CGI eagle in the PV is so un-necessary & that kinda ruined the PV in a way or 2 but the dancing scenes which took place are really good

then again before Chisa became a singer songwriter , she was a dancer

chisa's body fat percentage is 10% xD
i think 0% is impossible haha~

but still, rather low :P


and yeah, cgi-eagle = 100% unnecessary

ah sorry I made a mistake & I agree with you , having 0% body fat's downright impossible D:

is Freedom the 1st PV of the trio that was released so early ? I mean it was out in the last week of April & the single wouldn't be out til 16th June D:

i think so

all the other pv's came out at a normal time before the single.
freedom's was definitely fast

it might have to do with the the tie up? because the drama started so early?
but i dont know really :P
