Yeah, I hope so too! But I still hope they will make cool songs like unmei no shizuku and yume no katana. Even thought they want to try to change their image.:yes

Well, that's kinda strange.... D:

my friend informed me that Chisa will be appearing on Takanori Nishikawa's Nico live webshow later on tonight at 11pm Japan time

I guess it's for promo with regards to Dara Para !! ? :P

On September 5th, pop trio GIRL NEXT DOOR revealed that they will change their name… sort of. GIRL NEXT DOOR will now officially be in all lower-case letters, “girl next door”.

girl next door, who debuted back on September 3rd 2008 with “Guuzen no Kakuritsu”, just recently welcomed their 3rd anniversary as a band. By turning over a new leaf with their change of name, they plan to walk a new road as a musical unit.

Dara Para !! is at #16 today ;_; :weep :(

I'm ok with 16, haha. At least it was in the top 20.

I suppose they need a good tie-in now. CM songs would be nice... as opposed to random dramas that you can only watch on your cellphone :-[

Also, GND hasn't been on Music Station in a long time. I think for awhile Avex was pushing them onto the show (I don't think they were invited for the majority of them) and now Avex has stopped pushing, and they haven't been invited. But that's just my feelings.

didn't GND appeared in all the major big shows such as HEYx3 & MUSIC STATION in the early phrase of their career ?

I don't recall seeing them in such shows anymore , especially MUSIC STATION which's such a big pity ._.

Yes they did. I mean, I don't think the shows actually invited them, rather Avex asked the shows to have them. Because usually only well established/high profile/or hit songs are performed on shows.

I feel like the last time they appeared on MS was for Orion?

^ i actually think it was "Infinity". i definately remember them performing it on MS, and CDTV too.

anyway, #16 isn't the best, but i'm also glad it's in the top 20. it could have been worse. :shrug

What's the big difference between Winter and Summer Breeze?

How can GIRL NEXT DOOR change their name to girl next door?
I LIKE ALL CAPS!
#16 is okay for Dara Para!!

Dara Para !! is up for download

Pure is very nice *_* & it kinda reminds me of Shiawase no Hakari to a certain extent

But yeah when I 1st heard Summer Breeze , I was like , eh Winter breeze ? :laugh

Luckily , I was able to detect a little bit of difference even though the similiarities are quite huge there :O

Overall , I really enjoy Dara Para !! . It's a huge pity it's already tanking like nobody's business at this point in time ugh ._.

Ah, finally this single is released! I've been waiting ever since I heard the full version of Dada Para!!

The title song is still as fantastic as on the first listen. I'm gonna loop it 'till I drop, starting now. Pure was also very nice and I think I like Summer Breeze more than the Winter counterpart. I couldn't be happier with this single.

Ah why Chisa's so cute in these photos ;_; T_T

Are those your pictures Karen!? Now I wish I got the single :-/ The trump cards are really cute.

I think I'm going to their free live tomorrow celebrating the release of Dada Para, and if I buy the single there I get something (it doesn't say yet) so maybe that's what I'll do. haha

^ me toooo! I'm going to order it as soon as I can <3 so freaking cute

I wish I can say yes but unfortunately no ;_;

I stopped buying their singles quite a long time already , the last single I bought of them was Seeds of dream

Those TRUMP cards pics were listed on Yahoo Japan Auctions & yeah the pics of Chisa are super cute *O*

In fact those TRUMP cards are not listed anymore which's quite o_o

omg those pictures! chisa's too cute! :heart

I like the cards better than the cover. Especially the blue one

I think the trump cards are only for mu-mo purchases?? Or is it all first press editions? I know next door members get a special set as well as the mu-mo ones
