Cool! Which GReeeeN singles/albums do you own? Just curious.

for me

their 1st 2 albums & singles wise , Tobira onwards

I finished downloading the scans yesterday of both albums, they were pretty good!!!

LOL @ the 1st album scans, and the caucasian man who was holding that Japanese food in his hand, LOL!!! XD

Also: Are you buying Setsuna single then? ^^

oh yes definitely , I will be getting the CD only of it when it's on sale here :D

Me too! I'll probably be ordering online - CD only version.

I hope they will be putting the PV's on the third album's CD+DVD. ^^

I started a blog today on WordPress. And yes, I will be following GReeeeN's music career on that blog, LOL. XD

Apparently, Setsuna started playing on radio stations today, but Universal Music Japan DELETED all the youtube links!!! :(

Oh no.... :/

Link to my new blog: http://greenkiseki.wordpress.com

So yeah, check it out!! :)

Listen to the Setsuna Radio Rip, before Universal removes them:

HURRY! LOL. XD

^ awesome thanks !

I do a rip of the song now :D

Thanks!!! Be quick, cus the last two people who uploaded it before these two people, it was taken down in 20 minutes or so. -___-

no worries I'm uploading a 320kpbs of it as of now

I love Setsuna in full , it's awesome just like their previous stuff

:thumbsup

Well, this isn't really the full version. The radio versions of their songs are always 1 minute shorter than the version on the single. It happened with Kiseki, Tobira, and Ayumi, and probably is happening with Setsuna also.

We'll have to wait until the PV airs to hear the full 4 minute version of Setsuna.

I wonder why they cut out that 1 minute for... GRRR... XD

^ oh really ? I didn't know about that hmmm

anyway ta da - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...76#post1814776

:D

Thanks!!! What program do you use to rip songs from youtube? I tried before, but couldn't. T__T

realplayer & then I use SUPER © to get the song

I haven't used realplayer since 2000 or 2001... o_O....

What's SUPER? Do you have a link to their site?

I download the SUPER software via http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78232

it's very useful :yes

Ok, thx, I will check it out!

OMG, if the radio rip is airing so early, maybe we'll get the Setsuna PV next week if we are lucky! ^^

then how about the Setsuna covers ?

usually the PV will be out the last before the radio rip & the covers are up

Oh yeah, the covers!!! Their official site better update soon with the covers. I got so excited, I forgot that the covers were out first, then the PV.

I predict a picture of the outside atmosphere, with grass, and a sunny place, for the CD cover.

I just hope the covers won't be like Michi or Hito. Those were strange. o_O....

Setsuna's B-side's something called アメアガリ

I don't know what it's in Romanji & Eng context

OMG, where did you get that info from? o_O...

So excited now.

erm CDJapan where else lol :laugh

I will ask my Japanese friend what it means in Romanji & Eng context because I frankly have no idea

Ah.. I see! I hope this b-side will be very spectacular. I've never doubted their songwriting, lyrics, and talented abilities. I know they are very talented when it comes to producing very good quality songs. ^^

I want a slow b-side song. *__*

OMFG SETSUNA IS AMAZING :thud

i think i like this better than kiseki! :o

a check with my japanese friend & he said that the B-side for Setsuna is Ame Agari (Right After Stopped Rain)

such a nice title :D karen, don't you just love "setsuna"?

yeah I like Setsuna :D

they might release a new album before or after the Rookies movie theme song since they will be singing for it too

it makes sense since they did it for the drama ala Kiseki

OMG! The title of the b-side song sounds like a ballad/slow song.

Whenever I hear song titles with Rain in them, I always think it is a ballad, hehe. *__*

triple post, but there is some interesting stuff I posted a few seconds ago in the BACK-ON thread. BACK-ON talks about GReeeeN and some other stuff in Oricon's program "Ranking Paradise" (See below):

ORICON has featurd BACK-ON in their special program called "Ranking Paradise".

Watch the video here: http://tv.oricon.co.jp/ranpara/bn_068.html

http://www.backon-online.com/gallery...a.28.01.09.jpg


Video Details:

- There was a Q&A between the hosts and BACK-ON, and there were certainly plenty of laughs, and every single member of BACK-ON made a contribution.

- Icchan was asked to describe what GReeeeN were like, to which he replied ‘GReeeeN are like kind older brothers’.

- The band were also asked what GReeeeN actually looked like - a very normal question given that they’re still ‘anonymous’ - and in the end, Teeda was asked to draw a picture of their face!

with the DVD :)
i prefer the DVD one because i don't like buying CD's for only 2 songs... unless that was the only version out there..

um...
both albums
ai uta, tabidachi, BE FREE/Namidazora, kiseki, tobira, and ayumi singles


:rofl !!!
what people would do to figure out what GReeeeN looks like ..

Setsuna is awesome but I still like Ayumi..hehehe

I haven't watched the video of BACK-ON's Oricon Q&A thing yet, as I need to install a plug-in to watch it. But it does seem kinda funny from the video details.

And I wouldn't mind if GReeeeN did another collab single with them. :cool

OMG... ROOKIES MOVIE OFFICIAL WEBSITE has just opened!! Before, there was nothing but a picture, and a few words, but now it's an actual site with different sections. *__*

It's still under construction just by looking at it, but there is some stuff on it, which is good!

Nothing is mentioned yet about GReeeeN and the song title... so we'll have to wait for more updates and more info.

ROOKIES MOVIE OFFICIAL SITE: http://rookies-movie.jp/

Covers for Setsuna aren't out yet. :(

And their official site hasn't updated with new music samples yet from the Setsuna single. :/

haha cool, i wanna watch the movie XD

Me too!!! Timeless Subs said they were going to sub the Rookies Movie in the Springtime/Summer or later (Timeless Subs were responsible for subbing ROOKIES and VOICE J-drama).

I'm so psyched about the ROOKIES Movie Song!!! I can imagine another baseball type of song, just like Kiseki. ^^

The song is the most anticipated release for me so far this year. :D

Ayumi First week sales: 71,846

Total with 2nd week: 89,082

The single is selling better than Tobira, but I wish it passed the 100k mark. :(

I watched ROOKIES drama on tv without subs :)
i'm glad they decided to make another song for the ROOKIES movie, i can't wait to hear how it sounds~

i can see how ayumi is doing better than tobira, although both are really great singles, but ayumi really caught my attention on the first second :D

On TV? You bought the DVD box set or something?

After the series ended, there was a 2 hour SPECIAL episode that aired in Fall 2008.

And of course, there's the ROOKIES movie, which is said to be a continuation of the series. And also, there are 2 new members in the cast, which were not part of the J-drama series. Looking forward to the ROOKIES movie and song. :)

um.. no i didn't buy the DVD thing, i was in Japan while it was airing so i got to just sit, relax, turn on the TV and watch :)
i believe it came on around 9pm haha
it was fun there.. that's when i went across the street from the apartment, into the store, and immediately bought the Kiseki single XD

OMG, I want to know all the details about your trip to Japan!!! In terms of GReeeeN exposure that is, LOL.

Was Kiseki massive in Japan at that time? Did u hear people's cellphones having that ringtone? Were there lots of posterboards/billboards promoting Kiseki?

I'm sure Ayumi can break the 100k mark in a few weeks.

I'm glad it is doing better than Tobira, in terms of sales. :)

haha, i did hear a couple GReeeeN ringtones, though not necessarily just Kiseki.
it was the #1 single for the most of the time i was there, so it was pretty big, when i went to go buy it, there was only one copy left (haha) they had to order more after me XD
i didn't see any billboards or anything, it was mostly promoting Hamasaki Ayumi's Mirrorcle World and such.. but still, i made some good bunch of friends that shared the GReeeeN love :)

it was quite fun, walking down the street and seeing the Kiseki music video on the huge TV screen on the side of a building and all that :P

OMG, thanks so much for sharing about your experience.

Did you and your friends go Karoake, and sing Ai Uta or Kiseki? :D :love

^ haha both of the songs :)
we sang kiseki more than five times in one day >.<

i just changed my ringtone to kiseki, and made some ringtones for Ayumi, Ano Koro Kara, Tobira, and Ai Uta

OMG, I want those ringtones!

Is it possible you can upload them? Are they in mp3 format or something?

And wow, it's cool that you sang Kiseki at Karoake, hehe. :D

is there any of u who has ayumi lyric......

i'm googlin' it but ayumi hamasaki-GREEN- which came out....

yay, both of GReeeeN's hit songs made it :)
that's really nice


yeah, i can make some for you if you tell me which part of the song you want :)
they are all in .mp3

but i need to know:
what part of song you would like and what is the maximum length for a "ringtone" for your phone like mine is less that 25 seconds..that kind of thing

Thx Karen for posting the CDTV Love Song rankings. Nice to see that Ai Uta and kiseki did so well.

Oh ok, thanks so much, Kenni. Umm... I guess I'll discuss with you through PM, I'll sent you a PM. :)

^ ok, i'll be waiting :)

i decided to go download the Rookies drama episodes lol
just for all of the "Kiseki" that comes up during it and of course the greatness of the drama

So, the Setsuna cover is finally revealed!! Credits to JPM forums for all the new pics!

3 pictures below: Limited edition cover, "profile pic" and PV screenshot:



----------------------------------

nice ! I like that it reflected the chorus of Setsuna , it's so simple as well

what's up with the power ranger like PV screenshot :roflmao

^ LOL, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that Power Ranger pic!!! It was so funny!

WOW, this PV is going to be pretty interesting! I can't wait to see it!

I was a big fan of Power Rangers back when it aired in the mid 90's; I've only seen the US version, but never seen the Japanese version before.

I bet the Setsuna PV is going to be a lot of fun to watch! Yup! I predicts lots of actions, hehe. :)

you're looking at a closet power rangers fan here :laugh , I love the show . I grew up watching it when I was a kid & I still think Mighty Morphin's awesome although I enjoyed its successors like Lightspeed Rescue , Time Force , Wild Force

That PV screenshot of Setsuna looked like a bad Tommy green ranger reject :rofl

I am such a big fan of Power Rangers - US version, back as a kid/child! I love the show also! The first three seasons were the best IMO, but then they started doing all these Alien Rangers, and stuff, and I started to lose so much interest in the show. :/

But I did hear about Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force and the other seasons that the show had.

I love the original cast in Mighy Morphin' Power Rangers the most. Billy, Zack, Tommy, Jason, Trini, and Kimberly. <3 I found out a few years ago that Trini died in a terrible car accident, and I was so crushed and heartbroken. </3 I dunno what the others are up to nowadays.

Anyways, back on topic: I also think that is a evil green ranger/Tommy in the PV screenshot. Looks like he wrecked havoc on that city, LOL.

I never watched the 2nd seasons ie. Turbo & Space after Mighty Morphin so I can't comment on that but I have to say that Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force were good

I had a big crush on Austin St John who played Jason & Jason David Frank who played Tommy when I was a kid :laugh & I still think nothing beats Mighty Morphin at all & yeah it's sad that Thuy Trang who played Trini passed away a few years back :(

She was my fave yellow ranger

:roflmao

oh yeah it reminded me of the time when Tommy was posessed by Rita . He was hot as the green & eventually the white ranger

oh the memories :laugh , you can count on GReeeeN to come up with something whack like that :rofl

Austin aka Red Ranger was so HOT! And also Tommy was hot too. I remember Tommy and Kimberly were in love at one point, and had feelings for each other, but I think they broke up or something? I can't really remember, it seemed so long ago.

I didn't really like evil Green Ranger that much. Uggh... he used his Dragonzord to wreck havoc on the city. :/ And speaking of Rita, I always thought her voice was... umm... shrieky? No, that's not the word. Her voice just sounded strange I guess.

I thought how she used her magic staff to make monsters grow was funny though, LOL. "make my monster grow". Hehe.

In terms of villains, I thought Scorpina was BEAUTIFUL and PRETTY! *__* Her face was so smooth. <3 I think she was also in the Japanese version? But I am not too sure on that.

-----------------

I want GReeeeN Power Rangers in the Setsuna PV!!! Hehe. I am looking forward to watching the PV! :yes

yeah Austin's probably the guy that sets the bar for all future red rangers in subsequent ranger series & there was an episode in Wild Force which brought back 10 rangers of the past

that episode was epic & yes Tommy & Kimberly dated for a while before they broke up as Kimberly transferred out of Angel Grove to pursue her interest in gymnatics

:roflmao . The evil & good green ranger was :smitten , I love his shield . It's sad that he lost his powers after that :( & I like Dragonzord & so's Titanus :laugh

Scorpina - yeah she's a babe but not when she's in jumbo monster like mode :bchuck

Frankly I'm surprised if Setsuna's getting such a PV considering that it's used to promote Voice

hopefully the PV wouldn't be that much of a joke

You have such a good memory! I totally forgot that Kimberly left Angel Grove, but I do remember she was good with gymnastics.

Ahh... Angel Grove brings back so many memories, when I watched the episode back as a kid.

I remember Ernest or Ernie? (is that his name? I can't remember). He was the bartender/server at the Angel Grove cafe, I think he was a bit overweight.


I thought White ranger and his tigerzord was cooler than Green ranger and his dragonzord, lol. But I did like how Tommy used his flute to summon Dragonzord from the sea, which I thought was pretty cool. :cool

OMG, Scorpina in bigger monster mode, she doesn't look very good in that mode, lol. I remember she was partners with Goldar at one point, hehe. Goldar looks the same in regular mode and bigger monster mode, the exception being the size of course.


What does Power Rangers have to do with a song that's supposed to be SAD and is a BALLAD? LOL!! I dunno how the PV is going to turn out, seriously, hehe. XD But ahh... GReeeeN always have interesting PV's to watch. They all are unique in their own way, which is what I like about them.

I just hope the PV is going to relate to the lyrics of the song and stuff somehow, hehe.

OH OH, I just thought of something funny! What if the beginning of the Setsuna PV is like Girl Next Door's WINTER GAME PV, where in the beginning, it has some commercial, advertising Power Rangers, or something, LOL... XD

Setsuna PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpx2jah-ag

HAHAHAHAHAHA I loved it, so fun :D

^ LOL it was hilarious, i love it a lot!!
it's a very nice song as well

yay thanksss.

the PV was fun, lol. the covers are really good compared to the nike sneakr for "ayumi" :P

The bartender's name was Ernie & yes he was quite a rolly polly himself

lmao Tommy used his dagger & not a flute :roflmao although it had sounds of a flute when he did so to summon the Dragonzord

Thanks :D

:rofl it's so fun to watch :roflmao

I have posted the Setsuna PV & the 192kpbs rip of the song via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86705

i actually liked ayumi's cover XD
it's one of my favorites

OMG, this PV is so funny!!! We'll call the guy Uncle Green Ranger, hehe. XD. And his attack at the end reminded me of Megazord's sword attack that killed the monster of the day. :)

Ohh... I thought the nike sneakers/shoes cover for Ayumi was really good, hehe.

Ahh... yes! He was so funny! And I remember he would turn on the TV in the cafe, and there was trouble in the city, and then the Power Rangers saw it, and quickly rushed to the scene to fight.


You're right, it is a dagger. XD But at times, it seemed like a flute cus of the sounds he used, lol. XD

Ok, thanks so much, I am going over there to download it now. :)

Go go GReeeeN

I hope Setsuna will sell more than Ayumi, cus I like Setsuna a lot more. And I think it is their best song so far in terms of 2009 releases. :)

wow, i love how all of these made it up there :)
and about Tobira, I don't really know but the lyrics are wonderful.. it really is
i'm guessing ayumi just caught attention after hamasaki ayumi's GREEN single like it did most everyone else on this forum XD

that's the only thing i can come up with because for me and all of my friends who love GReeeeN really believe that the lyrics and music for Tobira are just beyond awesome

I suppose you're right on why Ayumi's doing better than Tobira

some people on AHS were going EH !! when I posted news that GReeeeN is releasing a song called Ayumi so ya :laugh

GReeeeN's Official Website has updated with the new Setsuna covers - regular and limited edition! Also, they changed the background music to Setsuna, but there's no preview of the b-side song. T__T

------------------

So, after seeing the Setsuna PV, I got interested in Power Rangers again, and decided to create an official thread on the TV series in the Entertainment sub-forum:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86815

Let's continue the discussion of that AMAZING TV SERIES there! :luv2

can you post the CD only edition of the Setsuna cover , Tracy ?

I can't seem to find it on their official site (http://www.universal-music.co.jp/greeeen/index.html)

Karen, it's on their other site: http://www.greeeen.net

Look under Discography. Their Universal Music site is slow to update with new stuff, so the site I just posted a link to is the best place for the most up-to-date info and stuff.

Because it's a flash-based website, nothing can be copied (and pasted). T__T

The regular edition is just a white-colored version of the green-colored limited edition.

oh I saw it already , thanks Tracy , I just wait for CDJapan to update the cover for the CD only

it's strange that they uploaded it for CD + DVD but NOT for the CD only :dead2

I can't wait to get Setsuna in due time now :D

Yeah, it is strange how CDJapan only updated the cover for the CD+DVD, and not also for the CD only version, lol.

The CD only version cover isn't available on CDJournal or Amazon.co.jp also. And again, they only have the cover for CD+DVD. >_>

By the way, can you scan your Tobira single? I want to see the scans, pretty please. ^_^

umm I only can scan the 'normal' CD only & not the 1 with the extra disc since I think it's impossible to do so

is it ok with you ? :shrug

Yes, it is definitely ok with me. :)

Thanks.

2 CDs Tobira scans are up & running - http://sharebee.com/3c1c84fa

looks like I managed to scan the 2nd CD's contents up earlier on too , go me :D

Oh wow, thanks very much Karen!!! :)

Downloading the scans now. ^^

Both covers are available now on their Universal Music Site. Plus, there's some new small banner advertising the new single.

By the way, is there any update on where the Ai Uta single is now on the charts? And what about their first album?

unfortunately I don't have the sales figures updates for both Ai Uta & their debut album sorry about that

from JPM

Ok, thx for letting me know. Hmm... I'm still curious where Ai Uta is on the charts now, maybe in the 100-something position. I don't think it's out of the Top 200 yet, well I hope not.

---------------

Thanks Lisa for the news about the ROOKIES song. But what exactly does Haruka translate to in English?

I love the sound of Haruka & it means Far in English

i would more go for "distant" because "haruka" is of higher vocabulary than what "far" can say if you know what i mean

Oh, god... i really hope they reach a million copies. Osashiburi is an awesome album, it surely deserves :D

yeah I get what you mean

It's already certified million by RIAJ so :D

I've uploaded the Setsuna Single on Sharebee in the downloads section, so check it out!!

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87310

Enjoy everyone! :)

^ thanks I downloaded it from somewhere else & I wanted to post it on here but ah well

Ameagari (Right After Stopped Rain) has to be 1 of their weaker B-sides to date :( :no , I find it really forgettable on 1st listen :dead2

I hope it can be a grower in due time but at least Setsuna's awesome

thanks tracy! :D
