In February 2007, Hadouken! self-released a two song limited edition vinyl, a double-a side of "That Boy That Girl" and "Tuning In." The former gained popularity after the video made it to number one in MTV Two's NME Chart.[3]

After releasing their 12-track EP mixtape, Not Here to Please You on November 12, 2007, the band returned to the studio to complete their debut album, Music for an Accelerated Culture. The album featured nine new songs as well as previous singles "Liquid Lives" and "That Boy That Girl."

This is my first time hearing this and I must say, I don't hate it. But why did she sing it?

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 10th February 2009 01:11 AM

I'm amazed they could lengthen the song as much as they did.

rookies 10th February 2009 09:24 AM

The PV is ok, but I really like the song. :love

Beauty4123 11th February 2009 09:28 PM

FREAK debuts at #14. :D

howtousesexy 11th February 2009 11:09 PM

Is the single not up to DL yet?

#14 ain't too bad too

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 12th February 2009 04:50 AM

Good starting point.

I can't believe it isnt online yet!

What month/year did aquaberry and Dithyrambos come out?

rookies 12th February 2009 07:20 AM

I read on JPM she will release a new mini-album, and then a full-length album afterwards - both TBA.

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 12th February 2009 11:22 PM

^ The conspect album and the Nakata one mostly likely.

why is there a remix of FREAK in the DVD and not the CD?

Beauty4123 14th March 2009 02:33 AM

so do we get any new PVs, if there's 4 music clips? :shrug

and yay for FREAK (nakata mix) :cool

prussian blue 14th March 2009 02:38 AM

MEG sounds like betraying nakata for a while for making music with hadouken! :laugh

and now she sticked back with him again

Beauty4123 14th March 2009 02:56 AM

i'm glad she's back with him. MEG just isn't the same without nakata, lol.

and i just read that we're getting 2 new PVs! i guess that answers my previous post, lol.

prussian blue 14th March 2009 03:04 AM

there's one time when i thought the girls are leaving her. first MEG, then ami. and now ami's sales drop so huge when she isnt stick with nakata. i think its the right choice for them to stick back with him

rookies 14th March 2009 07:11 AM

LOL @ all the song titles being one word, and also in Caps, haha.

ka♡ri. 14th March 2009 02:20 PM

the quality is horrible. hopefully it looks better in HQ.

prussian blue 3rd April 2009 05:59 PM

wow the cover is pretty! not that bad! much better than FREAK D:

and the first press... there will be poster styled lyrics booklet, 1 photobook and 2 photo card, wow that sounds good

and wow, the photo card has 6 version, but i think there'll be 2 in each album

rookies 3rd April 2009 10:49 PM

I prefer FREAK cover more. I thought she looks pretty in that cover.

And yeah, hope we get to see HQ of new album cover, hard to see when it is small.

CoriKaru 4th April 2009 07:42 PM

I feel like I'm going crazy and delusional or something. Is everybody seeing the same piece of mess I'm seeing? Or have our standards just fallen that low for MEG to the point where she can skate by with this crap and still pass it off as quality material? There's a thin line between "Artistic" and "Crap" and they tap danced all over that line in size 14 shoes with this one.....came back the next day and beat that same line with a stick.......went and got their dog and had it take a dump on the line and then they didn't even have the decency to pick it up. I'm sorry.

ll moments ll 5th April 2009 02:46 AM

^ LMAO. i like that description. xD

but in all honesty, i like it. LOL. i'm a sucker for pictures/photography similar to the cover/promo. it looks more of a magazine photoshoot though, but regardless, i still like it.

i can't wait for the album! :)

Beauty4123 8th April 2009 12:43 AM

from JPM!


rookies 8th April 2009 01:21 AM

I don't like both covers at all. The promo pic is a bit better than both covers, but still don't like it. :/

prussian blue 8th April 2009 09:43 AM

the bigger pic make me has a different feeling >_<

the regular version is much better <3 she looks like a female ghost in the first one

These previews sound a MESS! What the heck happened to MEG? :no

prussian blue 10th April 2009 11:32 AM

the preview gives me a bad impression, but i know it will sound different when the whole thing leaked. STARS and WHY sounds the best

ka♡ri. 10th April 2009 04:35 PM

STAR and DAYS sound seriously disgusting. I like the rest though. :yes

CoriKaru 10th April 2009 09:31 PM

Oh my god. I love "DAYS". It's so ALIEN! and not typical her! Sounds very much like Sigur Ros, which I love.
"LIES" could be good.
"WHY" sounds good.
I like some of the chords sung in "JOKER", but the rest damper it for me.
"SKIN" sounded good at first but then I just started chanting to myself, "Please don't be another "climb up to the top", Please don't be ano.......". If it is. Then that messes it up completely for me.

The rest sounds like your typical whatever to me. Kind of expected and boring. A lot of it reminds me of "Supreme Show" as far as melody and chords go.

s1012h 11th April 2009 04:20 AM

DAYS sounds very Bjork... I like :)

The rest are okay, JOKER and DAYS are the best so far.

marcelosama 12th April 2009 03:05 PM

I want it NOW!:lech:lech:lech

cosmeticmusic 19th April 2009 04:01 AM

Does anyone happen to know MEG's real name?

Beauty4123 19th April 2009 04:25 AM

i assumed it was...MEG? :shrug unless that's just her stagename and i just never realized, lol.

cosmeticmusic 19th April 2009 04:42 AM

I meant like, her full name, first and last, lol. I'm working on a Wiki page for her.

rookies 19th April 2009 05:49 AM

Is her real name MEG. or is that just a stage name? *unsure*.

I always thought that was her real first name. Hmm...

ll moments ll 19th April 2009 06:04 AM

i think it's a stage name. since "MEG" isn't really a Japanese name. perhaps it's short for Megumi? or something like that, IDK. lol.

rookies 19th April 2009 06:20 AM

I would be cool if her real name was Megumi. It sounds cute, well, kinda, hehe. xD

cosmeticmusic 19th April 2009 06:20 AM

I just wish she would reveal her family name so I have something to throw in my Wiki @.@

Does anyone have MEG's sales records?

rookies 19th April 2009 06:25 AM

Oh, I want to see the wiki page you are working on. ^^

Can you give us link, or not yet, cus you're still working on it?

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 19th April 2009 06:26 AM

This is all I have so far, I just started it...I don't know enough about her or can't find enough information to make a big bio, and I can't find her sales records. >>

EDIT: Thanks for the STEP record.

prussian blue 19th April 2009 07:58 AM

thx for the wiki page made by donovon! its nice to know that MEG will have her own wiki page!

rookies 19th April 2009 10:27 AM

I didn't know that MEG didn't have her own english wiki page (or is there another one that exists somewhere?).

I think I can help you find the sales, donovon, but they may not be up-to-date, mind you though.

cosmeticmusic 19th April 2009 01:20 PM

Thanks everyone! I'm still trying to find a way to upload a picture of her too but it's difficult @.@

Does that mean the sales haven't been recorded?

I think it means that the sales aren't available, and nobody knows how much it sold. I could be wrong though, the info could be somewhere on Oricon's official site, hmm... but for now, those sales are unknown. :/

cosmeticmusic 20th April 2009 12:06 AM

FINALLY! It took me forever to link all of the sources but I'm finally done filling out the information for BEAUTIFUL!

www.en.wikipedia.com/wiki/BEAUTIFUL (MEG album)

ストロボ・EdGE 20th April 2009 12:13 AM

WOW. I didn't think MEG was this popular here. I like some of her songs but I don't like how basically the past three albums feel just like one, long continuous one. Except for FREAK which was a big difference imo.

cosmeticmusic 20th April 2009 12:19 AM

Finally uploaded a picture on Wikipedia of her! It's the only one I could find of her performing at a concert.

A screencap of her DVD, MEG PREMIUM LIVE "PARTY". I found it on her website to promote the DVD.

There's some sort of auto correcter because MEG is now Meg. > >

rookies 20th April 2009 11:52 AM

Nice work on the wiki page, Donovon.

Will you also be working on individual pages for her singles and albums?

That would be good to see if you decide to do that, cus I'm not too familiar with her previous singles and albums.

cosmeticmusic 20th April 2009 12:14 PM

I'll try but information on her earlier singles and albums are veryyyy hard to come by, and rare.

Solarblade 20th April 2009 03:13 PM

I helped out a little bit with the titles of the singles changed to "scanty blues" and changed "Hikari ro" to "Kouro"

BTW....I don't think FREAK counts as a single for BEAUTIFUL, I think it's a single for the concept album

cosmeticmusic 20th April 2009 09:32 PM

^Yes, but at the same time, a remix of it is included on the DVD portion.

prussian blue 21st April 2009 09:25 AM

does anyone has her live concert available for download? i'd like to see it
