I meant Green and Orange garden pop,
So the release is limited to 50'000 copies which should all sell judging by the sales of ONENESS and the blu-ray (!!!) will include a concert from the ONENESS tour at yokohama arena + there will be goods. That completely changed my view of this release actually. I now think that it's pretty cool haha I love when they include live footage (let alone an entire concert) on the DVDs or Blu Rays. |

Tracklist is out!
DISC1 【CD】 1.あなたがここにいて抱きしめることができるなら 2.夜空。feat.ハジ→ 3.月食 ～winter moon～ 4. friend ～君が笑えば～ 5.つよくなりたい 6. HiKARiE English×piano version 7.オトシモノ 8.めぐろ川 <strings version> 9.片想い 10.ホイッスル ～君と過ごした日々～ 11.またね 12. Delight feat. Orianthi SOURCE Well... one new song? Who is Orianthi? |
I think she's a guitarist she once made a song with kylee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7m7Xo_k4CA Didn't expect the 2 new songs on there |
2 new songs? Which is the other one other than.. Delight?
|
As she already has a song called Delight it could be a new version of this song.
|
Quote:
|
By new songs I meant Yozora and Anata ga koko ni ite dakishimeru koto ga dekiru nara, the ones that haven't been on an album before. Delight is already on Delight so.. that's just a new version
|
Orianthi is an Australian singer-songwriter, her debut single According to You was a moderate hit in some countries back in 2009 (#3 on the Japan Hot 100, #8 in Australia, #17 in the US...) and her second single Shut Up and Kiss Me peaked at #11 on the Japan Hot 100 but didn't really make an impact anywhere else. She's played guitar for some big names like Michel Jackson, Carrie Underwood and Alice Cooper. Since then she's kind of faded away but she has a nice pop-rock style so she should sound nice with miwa!
edit: Oh! It turns out Orianthi played lead guitar on super heroine on ONENESS! Here's a pic of them together on instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/p/zOENxJTMeT/ Here's another recent post of them together (2 weeks ago) -> https://www.instagram.com/p/_FtU6pTMSB/ |
Cutting and pasting from Karen's post on the Music Station thread:
Quote:
|
looking forward to her performance also to add to karen's comment about gesu the singer also badmouthed miwa on twitter so this is double-interesting. Ugly dude wishes he was miwa
|
Quote:
EDIT: Ok, I found out what happened, so a certain netizen recently has found out that in 2011, Gesu no Kiwami Otome vocalist, Enon, tweeted about how untalented miwa is. Well, speaking about timing... I can't deny the fact that Gesu band have better skills than miwa though. But, then again, taste matters to their own. |
miwa is untalented, hahahaha, she writes, composes and sings her own songs, lol. He has tons of idols in Japan, but no, he has to choose miwa who is full of talent.

Quote:
That happened around the time (or after) that miwa got her first album #1 then Enon spoke harshly...? Any link to the tweet in question? |
^ Just search for Gesu band name in actual Japanese name and miwa, find a random thread, and you should find it.
Anyway, a quick update for the new upcoming ballad compilation album, they put this title instead of the original one: HiKARiE English×piano version めぐろ川 <strings version> Well, HiKARiE English×piano version is new I guess? The version in Whistle single is just the short one.. |
the strings version of megurugawa is on guitarissimo right?
wonder why they chose the english x piano version i mean it's 3:11 long so idk if they shortened it on purpose or if it's supposed to be like that and there is no long version |
Yep!
Hopefully this one is five minutes long? I don't think it will become like that though. What a weird choice. EDIT: Newspaper promotion? Haven't seen that before for a music release. Spoiler:
|
Haha the more promotion the better. What already stunned me about this release is that it only comes as CD+Blu Ray. I like it though blu ray is love.
|
Blu-ray is much better than DVD, that's why I'd consider buying it if I was a miwa fan, but then again for some it's duplicates (compilation, other than a new song and a new "Delight" version)...
|
Sorry for double-posting...but I have a feeling miwa might get #1 with this so-called "limited release" album. Wait, WHAT!? miwa #1!?
http://s26.postimg.org/s6ig29d1x/201...CD_2016_01.png http://s26.postimg.org/kf1q3p8wl/201...CD_2016_01.png I'm not kidding. I bet Koda Kumi fans aren't going to like this. She led on the first day...but by less than 500, so I knew miwa might have a chance at #1. Suga Shikao also a worthy competitor, although some 5,000 copies behind. But day 2 comes... ...and miwa's #1! Koda Kumi goes down to #4. If miwa can keep doing well over the next few days...miwa's going to get a #1 for the first time since 2013! And it's on a ballad collection album. Then again, January's pretty a weak month for J-pop releases, in my opinion... (miwa had to fight against Koda Kumi...on a similar album concept, I think. Ballad fight?) |
It's not so-called limited, it is limited to 50'000 copies. And i think it's pretty safe to say that she'll get #1 with this release, hopefully koda can take #2 didnt really expect her to be #1 anyway
|
http://s26.postimg.org/wh1pbl7it/201...CD_2016_01.jpg
Still #1 as of now. Don't expect Koda Kumi to go #2 with the fact Suga Shikao is doing well, in fact better than Koda Kumi (#2 vs. #4) over the past two days... |
If someone downloaded the full album and could upload only the new arrangements, I'll be grateful.
|
I'll do it tomorrow unless someone else gets to it first. :) Was anything new or rearranged except Delight though? I only listened to that. :P And my opinion on it, if anyone cares: I think this arrangement is more impressive live, the recording on the 360° single and the one from Acoguissimo in Budokan blow this version out of the water. I feel like Orianthi didn't get enough to do here. I'm impressed that miwa recorded it in English though; she's not great at English, but I appreciate the effort. :)
|
http://s26.postimg.org/b2o3wao2d/201...CD_2016_01.jpg
Nothing really to worry about...miwa still the best domestic act today among albums. (Megadeth...a thrash metal band from stateside, based down south in Los Angeles. As for Oricon rankings, for reference: Suga Shikao #7, Koda Kumi #9) I'm pretty sure 99.9% miwa is going to get #1. (Unless someone makes a surprise sale, such as in the case for singles, SMAP is #1 on the same day's daily single rankings over NEWS...) |
Quote:
|
^ Yeah, I think it's the one from Whistle ~Kimi to Sugoshita Hibi~ single, the title and duration are the same.
|
|
^thank you :)

Back to #1. As for Gesu no Kiwami Otome - see first page about someone commenting on the vocalist of that band ranting on miwa - but it's quite ironic they're releasing an album on the same day as miwa (and Koda Kumi)... |
lol, she got #1? Anyway, what a pleasant surprise. I like the lyrics of Delight.
No new arrangements, no new remixes, only better remastered tracks. I can only hear the difference in friend, the beginning noise of people is more clearer now, you can hear the people walking and their voices. That's all. However, I like the theme and the atmosphere, fits perfectly. |
^^ they released their album last week not this week. ..... looking forward to her next single hopefully smth upbeat rock-ish
|
Orianthi's play in Delight isn't bad at all but nothing can beat the original version to me.
|
I just realized that the cover for this best album is one of her worst. Yuck.
|
#1 weekly woop 32'618 copies sold out of the 50'000. Some were probably sold to sites and stores that don't get counted though so we don't really know how many of those 50'000 copies have been sold already

MUSIC FAIR 2016/01/31
Kataomoi 槇原敬之・WaT・miwa・数原龍友・片寄涼太(GENERATIONS) |
New song called haranran feat. 96 Neko is used as the ending of Flying Witch
|
Out of nowhere, that was odd. I've never heard of anything about new song at all :laugh
But it's a nice song! It starts boring but this TV Version sounds nice. More acting role for her! Spoiler:
I haven't watched Maestro but most people seems praising her for her role in it. I've watched Kouhaku ga Umareta Hi though, and she did great. Looking forward to this one! |
Hahahaha, I like this new song !!!
|
I don't even know that she played into drama. At the same time it has been a while I didn't watch a drama.
New single Quote:
|
I've been waiting way too long for a new miwa single!!! FINALLY!!!
|
The new single now has a full title: Princess / シャンランラン. Coming in CD, CD+DVD, anime version CD+DVD editions.
CD/CD+DVD tracklist: 01. Princess 02. シャンランラン 03. 片想い （2016.3.8@日本武道館live Ver.） 04. Princess -Instrumetal- 05. シャンランラン -Instrumetal- DVD: 1. Princess （Music Video) 2. Princess （ミュージックビデオメイキング） CD+DVD Anime version tracklist: 01. シャンランラン feat.96猫 02. Princess 03. 片想い（2016.3.8@日本武道館live Ver.） 04. シャンランラン feat.96猫 –TV Edit Ver.- 05. シャンランラン -Instrumetal- 06. Princess -Instrumetal- DVD TV anime 「ふらいんぐうぃっち」 (Flying Witch) non-credit opening No covers yet, apparently. Also, gotta love how they spelled "Instrumetal" in every instrumental track's title, lmao. |
princess.... anyways looking forward to the new single and tour release yay
|
Princess... Another cutesy pop song? She can pull it though.
|
Princess? Hope the song won't be cheesy. I already don't like Shararan -_-"
Instrumetal :laugh Perhaps it's a metal version and not a karaoke version XD |
^ Now that would be amazing. :laugh
I'm also hoping Princess will be good since Shanranran doesn't sound promising at all. Granted, I only listened to the preview once, but it was too cutesy and a little annoying. |
:laugh
I think we're all tired with her cutesy songs, aren't we? It's good at first listen but it gets boring overtime, but that might sounds good live. She's quite inactive these days, I guess it's because of the drama? |
I like the song for the Witch's opening, hahahaha. I hope Princess isn't ultra-kawaii.
|
More informations about Princess :
Quote:
An impressive song? I hate when the description is so vague. At least they could tell us the style. |
Hmm, the description sounds so promising, and it sounds like a new genre.
Hopefully this will rock! Also, First Press Edition? Is it her first time? I don't remember. |
Well I'm curious about princess now
|
Miwa is going after kana's country-pop queen crown with Princess haha Just saw the short PV. I really like the song. Her mandolin-playing is really nicely featured in the song and the video as well. I can see this being a success
|
the covers were released:
Regular edition http://pimg.imagesia.com/fichiers/18...8f7a_large.jpg Limited edition http://pimg.imagesia.com/fichiers/18...8f7b_large.jpg Anime edition http://pimg.imagesia.com/fichiers/18...8f79_large.jpg source : http://www.c-k-jpopnews.fr/2016/06/0...nce-un-single/ |
Cute, i like them
|
Lovely covers !!!
|
Short version PV if anyone is interested.
Cute song but somehow is cool as well. So girly though. The PV was... lol. I miss something from her debut PV. |
Nice instrumentation!
|
Finally I watched the pv. I wonder how they could called princess an impressive song. It's cute but nothing outstanding. The arrangement is quite generic and basic. It's a Jpop song that is disguised as a folk song thanks of the mandolin and banjo to me.
I hope that sony won't force her to follow this new path in her next singles. I don't think that miwa is the type of singer that can do a good job with such kind of cute songs. It seems that this new single will be forgettable. |
Quote:
|
Position doesn't matter, what matters is sales. If you're #1 with like 10'000 copies just because there was no competition is it better than selling 20'000 and being #7? I dont think so. Anyways i do agree tho that i don't really see this being a hit like her last 2 singles
|
The whole new single seems pretty average. I miss her old stuff. I prefer her cover songs also.
Anyway, just read this on arama's comment: Quote:
|
I was the one asking about that actually lol it had a lot of comments so I thought she got into a scandal or smth but that wasn't the case fortunately. I think it doesn't matter how she acts cause at the end of the day she's still a singer-songwriter no matter what she does.
|
As I follow only her music (CD+PV) I don't know her behaviour during interview. It won't surprise me if she changed her strategy of communication though. Sony will do everything to improve the popularity of their bestselling singer.
Since the start of her career she exploited the cute style but in a more interesting and subtle way? Little girl's pv was cute with the white bunny but the kawaii/kitsch side wasn't trickling from each scene of the video as in 360° or princess pv if you understand what I mean. However it's not the first time that Sony try the kawaii/idol style with miwa. Friday-ma magic pv is their first attempt. It was fun in a certain manner but I was happy that she didn't film more pv like this. If her sound is suffering from this change, it's another story nevertheless. As I said it in my previous post I don't mind the last single but one is enough. |
I'm surprised they don't make her do more stuff like Faith which was really a departure from the cute style to a more serious sound and it did really well too. Also Yozora which wasn't cutesy and had great vocals also a hit. hmmm :/ I just hope she'll keep going and do her.
|
I didn't even realize it was you at the first place :roflmao
Anyway, as I stated before, her first 5 releases are indicating different style from time to time, as if they are experimenting with her. But for sure, she's marketed towards youth or even younger generation and it seems that, her cute image is the most successful one, so this is the path she's walking on. I prefer her don't cry anymore or chAngE kind of songs. Those 2 songs got amazing unforgettable PVs as well. At least for me. |
I remember I discovered miwa back in 2011 through Bleach anime (chAngE) and I liked her. I listened to her first studio album and after a while I forgot about her. Recently, I listened to Princess since I always saw this thread alive and I noticed the change in her style. I always saw her like some kind of YUI but now she reminds me more of Kana Nishino with the cute style. Any songs to recommend? (not cute songs)
|
^ This single at least is definitely very reminiscent of Kana Nishino, hasn't she also been doing the same kind of cute-country-ish stuff as Princess lately? Is it a whole j-pop trend that miwa is trying to get in on, 'cause I feel like I've seen some other singers doing a similar thing lately?
I'll try to put together a list of not-cute miwa songs I like post-guitarissimo, but I'll warn you, our definitions of cute may not match perfectly. :laugh And honestly, many of her cute songs are also worth a listen! Spoiler:
Agreed with Yoake and mellody about Princess and the whole single: pretty average, nothing outstanding. I didn't find Shanranran annoying like I'd thought I would, but that's some damn faint praise right there. I'm also hoping for a more serious sound for her next release, would love another more rock-ish song. |
Well, turns out miwa got #5 for the week...
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/2016-07-04/ |
She has tried a lot of generes, from rock-pop, cutesy to acoustic, and now country, I prefer songs like chAnge, 441, Faith or even Hikari e (a pop song that isn't cute).
I like the instruments in Princess, but the song isn't great. And the witch's song is OK, at least I prefer this single than last year's ones. |
"...than the last year ones."
I think I agree. At least Princess is more interesting than... figthing girls, some of ONENESS singles. IMO. |
Hello, I'm really sorry if this post might be violating the forum rules :(
But, I'm desperately need money to pay for college this semester :( I want to sell my miwa bluray collections, each in a very cheap price. All of them were only played 1-2 times/never played. Opened but the original soft plastic and the outer sticker still available. Spoiler:
You can check my listing here http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3210308 I'm also have ayaka and Utada's album for sale too. Thank you so much :) |
New single Yui'll be released on 5th October. The title track is used as the theme song of 83rd NHK National School Music Competition and Minna no Uta. The b-side is used for On My Way!.
source: http://www.c-k-jpopnews.fr/2016/08/2...-pour-octobre/ |
The new single is called "yui". LOl, that was unexpected.
|
Umm...yeah. miwa releasing a song called "Yui"? Hmm...
Also joining in the names of Ikimonogakari and Ai Otsuka on doing songs for NHK's annual music song competition...so I have a feeling miwa's pretty a lock for the Kouhaku once again. Then again, I thought miwa has a Sunday NHK Radio show as well... |
Troll miwa is troll :laugh
What is the meaning of Yui again? I think it's not a down reputation for joining the names of Ikimonogakari and Ai Otsuka, they are considered "senior" for me... |
Yui(pv) :
http://www.jpopasia.com/miwa1/videos...1%84%EF%BC%8D/ Is it the first time she is playing piano in one of her pvs? The song is good but I feel like there are a lot of identical ballads in Jpop world. promo pic: http://pimg.imagesia.com/fichiers/1a...ac7e_large.jpg |
Kataomoi & Otoshimono had miwa playing the piano, or not ?? I can't remember.
|
miwa is on the piano in Kataomoi PV, but not in Otoshimono, and she's always on her guitar during Otoshimono performance.
Weirdly enough, miwa is on her guitar in the performance of yui. I think there's a problem with the PV, some of her movement are not properly synced with the music. (and it's boring as well) The song... well, generic at its best. (still better than Princess tho) However, the covers are great this time, I love the simplicity. Spoiler:
I don't understand the relation of the song, "yui" was supposed to mean 'bond' or something like that, but this is what we get, some peaceful tune with peaceful promotion picture. Maybe anyone interested to see her in SONGS? |
The new song is good...I wish there is no choir
|
The new single is out : http://aichun.co/?mp3=41743
|
miwa to release 4th album and ARENA TOUR in 2017.
News is already everywhere, but I just want to share this: miwa will become a main actress in (yet) another movie! (+ new song) It's probably something like 100 days relationship or whatever. Honestly, her acting is good, as well as the song preview. |
|
Not really liking the title. It's very idole-like. I hope it's not a hint about the style of the new tracks and her new direction. The promo pic is nice.
|
that promo pic is gorgeous!
|
great promo pic:luv2
|
She looks beautiful and more mature.
|
I'm not sure about the hairstyle and the styling...
|
New song preview from the movie clip.
Glad that she can act, and the song was... generic though. |
The album covers have been revealed.
Spoiler:
I also found the tracklist for the album on the Sony music shop website, but it's not up anywhere else for some reason. Seems like this is the real deal though? 1. SPLASH 2. 結 -ゆい- (Yui) 3. Princess 4. 夜空。feat. ハジ→ (Yozora feat. Hazzie) 5. 君と100回目の恋 (Kimi to 100kaime no Koi) 6. アイオクリ (Ai Okuri) 7. シャンランラン (Shanranran) 8. ATTENTION 9. 変わらぬ想い with Scott ＆ Rivers (Kawaranu Omoi) 10. 泣恋 (don't know the reading for this one, sorry and please help?) 11. あなたがここにいて抱きしめることができるなら (Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru nara) |
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!
Scott & Rivers? You know what? It was photographed by Leslie Kee :laugh Track 9 is Kyuukoi or something I also can't get it. |
I like the LE cover. It's a bit psychedelic
|
R E cover is the best !!!
The other is meh. |
LE owns every cover she had
|
The album is out! I'm happy to say I really like most of the new songs. SPLASH is great, Ai Okuri and Kawaranu Omoi are really nice, and ATTENTION is interesting, I might come to like it even more in the future. Kimi to 100me no Koi puts me to sleep though. I've also come to like Shanranran somehow while listening to the album, no idea how that happened.
|
SPLASH isn't good. It has some goods arrangements and melodies but they don't work well together. The transitions are quite bad. It's like a patchwork with colours that don't match well. Overall this album is full with generic ballads. That's not a bad thing because they aren't horrible but that's not what I want from this little woman that I started to listen to when her first single was out.
The only new songs I truly like are ATTENTION (It's not outstanding because of the chorus's melody but at this moment of her career this rock song is quite good), Kawaranu Omoi (I know it's quite generic but I like it. Especially when both voices are singing together) and Naki koi (the introduction and the verse are really catchy. I like how the arrangement are progressing during the song) About the old songs, I only changed my mind about Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru Nara. It's slighty better than what I thought when the single was out. It's a pity that it is too long. |
Why hasn't this album appeared on JPopsuki? I see a SONGS episode on miwa, and SSTV music video compilations in conjunction with the new album release, so why isn't the actual album there on JPopsuki? Hmm... I'll just have to wait and be patient...any download links outside of JPS as of now though?
|
^here. Jpopsuki is too slow nowadays with the release of the cds.
