The article might have said something about them being friends, but i can't find the article again :-\ it just happened to be on yahoo japan's main page at one point...

but here is my stuff from the fanclub!

that keychain and card (is it like a credit card? :laugh) are sooo cool! your very lucky to have them :D

it's just a member card :)

but the card is much better than ayu's xD

ayu's requires TA members to write their own member ID on it, but this one has it on it already *my thumb is covering my member ID, haha*

0_o....this is gonna be the weirdest thing ever since....I'm not technically a fan of GND....they're great though....I'm just wondering...did anyone from the SoCal area just see a live GND performance on Music Fair? @_@ I think it was ORION....It kinda shocked me cause at my house...we have never had ANY Japanese broadcasting whatsoever....so I was just watching....I'm like wow....Music Fair @_@.

EDIT: Ok...that was like 2 min ago...now there's this guy wearing red and he's singing some song called Love Fighter. I just want to know if anyone living here knows if this is a regular broadcast or just a one time thing

^ wow, i think your watching BREAKERZ then, haha. DAIGO is the one with the red shirt :laugh

about the broadcast, where i live in NY, there's a channel on cable (for me it's channel 19). every saturday night from 10PM-12AM, they air two hours worth of japanese TV. 10PM is a variety show and then at 11 it's a drama. that's what plays on my channel. but i think in LA, they give you more than just MUSIC FAIR (although i wish i could watch that on my TV :grumpy) here's the website: http://www.fujisankei.com/schedule2_la.asp

^Ah OK thanks for the info! I'm looking at the schedule right now and it's like Mon-Fri News x__x

DEEP RIVER - wow, really? i never catch anything Japan music-wise on TV...unless it's Kouhaku Utagassen. all the asian channels i have on my cable tend to play Korean programs now. but how interesting! :)

O________________________O

WHAT BREAKERZ was on your local TV ?!?!?!?! remember the time where Shinpi got raped/stripped by the other 2 in the making of the PV xD xD

:thud :thud :thud

===

I think I might get my copy of NEXT FUTURE later today if not tomorrow

I seen pics of the packaging for it & it's awesome :luv2

Yes, MUSIC FAIR is on two different channels, depending on the time that you watch. Apparently, they show this Fujisankei Sunday block or something with a bunch of Japanese programs on 18/18.1 and 44/44.1. But I'm not 100% sure when, since I was flipping channels once and I saw that AAA was on MUSIC FAIR with a bunch of other artists. I don't really know how late the broadcasts are compared to the Japanese ones but I'd say they air a few months after the initial broadcast.

As for Asian channels, 70% of the ones here in Southern California are Korean, with a handful of Chinese ones and ONE Japanese channel. 18.2 / UTB Hollywood. They show English subbed dramas, some anime, and a few variety shows every so often. The only music show they have is J-MELO, which is hosted in English and airs PVs of requested artists. The last time I watched it, they played some Dir en grey and Perfume's One Room Disco. I've looked at past broadcasts and people have requested songs like Ayu's Sparkle, so it depends on when you watch. (For many of the Off The Air channels, you need an antenna to watch them)

44.1 http://titantvguide.titantv.com/apg/...x?siteid=53631 - MUSIC FAIR shows at 6:30PM on Sundays.

[Hm, it appears that on further inspection, the Fujisankei lineup that was on 18.1 has officially moved over to 44.1]

wow, you guys in southern CA are sooo lucky, then! the only asian thing on my TV is also that fujisankei programming block (but it's only on for 2 hours on saturday nights :grumpy)

my area isn't asian at all, and that sucks because i want asian programming :laugh i do know of this chinese thing called "sinovision" on this one channel, and something else that's korean i think, but that's it. i gotta pay for the TV JAPAN package if i wanted it, but it just has NHK stuff like MUSIC JAPAN, but it does have MUSIC STATION. if only my mom would let :weep

(.........sorry to get off topic! :laugh)

first week: 56,436 + second week: 18,271 = 74,707

total sales so far :)

no one posted them yet~~

I forgot to ask , which edition of NEXT FUTURE you got for yourself ?

mine's the Taiwan press / CD + DVD with the 3 photobooklets & it's so pretty

avex really spent a lot of $ on them from their debut til now D:

I got the cd + remix album edition, mostly because I didn't have enough money at the time to get both haha...

but their stuff tends to linger in stores for awhile.
the little bookstore/music store near me is bound to have it for awhile haha xD

but i still haven't gotten to see any pictures of the cd+dvd special booklet's inside pictures haha
And also, did you receive a jacket change card? I got mine from tower records so I got one...but the HMV one is better haha!




BTW, does anyone have pictures of the "Be your wings" cover change jacket cards????
I've never seen them! i ordered mine from mu-mo when it came out and didn't even get a jacket card -___-.

are you talking about a slipcase cover for NEXT FUTURE ?

if so then yes my copy's so

er I hope I answered your question for that . I really really like the packaging for NEXT FUTURE so much more than their 1st album in every way

no no, like with ayu's you were.../ballad single, it comes with alternate covers.

many of GND's singles do too.
infinity, be your wings, and orion are the ones i know of. not sure about seeds of dream...

i have one for infinity and next future, but not be your wings.

i think it might be limited to HMV, tsutaya, tower records, etc.

hmmm ok because when you talk about alternate covers , I thought you might be referring to slipcase covers which comes as 1st press items for their singles & albums

but anyway since the weekend's here , I will scan my copy of NEXT FUTURE with the 3 photobooklets for everyone

when I say it's pretty I mean it !

ok as promised , I scanned up my copy / CD + DVD of NEXT FUTURE with the 3 collaboration booklets

http://www.mediafire.com/?cnz1qmmizyn

the CD & DVD prints have that lacey feeling if you know what I mean & yup , avex really pampers this trio a LOT D:

oh wow thanks so much :)

really nice booklets!

now you're making me want to buy the cd+dvd copy even more T_T

i love the elle book :)

chisa has a versatile look apparently :P

oh and i don't have a scanner, so i can't scan my copies...

but the eurobeat disk is black with white lace :)

LOL sorry for that xD but you're welcome

are the CD sleeve pics from the CD + DVD booklet the same as your CD only copy ?

It should be .... it's different for singles I guess

I like this Chisa pic from the NYLON booklet

That's cute & I admire her for cowriting the whole album with Kenn Kato & I believe she did that too for their 1st album

funny that she thanks her ice cream AGAIN in the thank you notes o.o

hahaha you know, it wasn't until i watched the domoto (?) brothers show when she talked about her ice cream that everything started to click.

they have ice cream remixes, they had ice cream themed a-nation goods (including the strange and way to expensive t-shirt)... haha, plus the thanking of ice cream :P

they also had a tie-up with an ice cream for seeds of dream xD

but yes, the cover/back cover, as well as the booklet pictures are different :)
