I love you, EXILE, but that's way too many BEST albums for one year.

Jesus another new single?
They are becoming worst than Koda.

^ Avex is pimpin' out what's popular right now :yes

of course this year become they year..
they have realesed 1 full album and will realese best album also with 1st single this year..

avex >.<

No one cares about EXILE T_____________T

New single: Pure/You're My Sunshine is available for preorder here

Yay, I was going to make a thread for them but didn't get around to it. I'll keep an eye on them from now on. I personally am in love with "Make Love" from EXILE LOVE.

how can EXILE got very high popularity this year??
is that exile love very good???

Of course I've just started listening to EXILE but I think that there are some high quality songs. I'm going to write an in depth review that might help. Personally, "Make Love" is one of my favorite songs of 2008 so far.

^ 'll wait for your review, so later i can request those songs

I should have it finished by this weekend :) and as you can already see, I immediately suggest "Make Love." AMAZING!

They were quite popular to begin with. But they got more popular because of this documentary show thing on TV.

You're my sunshine = Namie cover?

sorry it took so long, here's my in-depth review for the album. The language got kinda repetitive since I'm doing this at 4:00 a.m. but I think it's all right. If you actually wanna read the whole thing then here's the address.

http://amaiwana.wordpress.com/

Otherwise, I recommend...

What Is Love
I Believe
Hibiki~HIBIKI~ = best ballad
Kimi ga Iru Kara
Make Love :luv2
Sora Kara Ochite Kuru JAZZ
sayonara
24 karats - type EX - featuring Sowelu

Haha, the whole album is pretty good though. I enjoyed it very much. Hope you find some songs that you like!

^ thanks..
hmm actually i dun like more jazzy song....

I've never been a big fan of EXILE ... but I'd listen to them, just based on these covers. :smitten

I've never been a big fan of them either.. and I dun really like the current EXILE. I dun even know how came they become so huge all of the sudden this year. I guess showing more skin do make more fangirls somehow LOL.

I still miss the era with Shun in the group :P.

actually only 2 persons sing the song, right??

are they from avex>???

wow this thread has been MIA for a while so I'd thought I'd bump it since we got more info...

NINKI 02 98.40 EXILE - Pure / You're My Sunshine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj85wkfMA5M <- Pure PV

I would prefer EXILE not to resing all their old songs just to release THREE best albums. I find the remakes are all incomparable to the old ones with SHUN in it. Also, resinging all the old songs seems sorta.. disrespectful to SHUN?

amai yume 5thans for the info...
actually exile revolution didnt sell very well like exile LOVE..
just 600K more

review for new EXILE single!!!!

http://amaiwana.wordpress.com/

^ thanks for your review..

Pure is just great! And I cant stop listen to catchy best!

OMG..
exile catchy best will become album of the year.. and they will become highest earning artist this year...

Hmm..anyone knows whether EXILE is good at fast tempo songs or ballads or others?..cuz' i've limited knowledge about them.

^ Ballads definitely.

U suk i h8 u. :[ LOL

^ Are you bored, austin? :laugh

This group is.........wow..........they dominate everything!!! :O

I read on JPM that they shipped 1 million copies of their Best album on the first day :eek Wow, if that's true.

^Yeah, Tokyograph talks about that too LOL
'In December, EXILE's album "EXILE LOVE" shipped over a million copies within its first few days and ended its first week with 670,000 in sales. Now, their "EXILE CATCHY BEST" is set to surpass that, as it shipped roughly 1.05 million copies by its first day, the 26th. According to Oricon's daily rankings, the album's sales have exceeded 100,000 copies on both of its first two days.'

So after this CATCHY BEST we have another BEST coming out!!!
'Following the release of EXILE CATCHY BEST, the seven-men group announced the second best album in their "EXILE PERFECT YEAR 2008" campaign, EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST, to be released on July 2008. The album is said to feature a dream-like collaboration between best albums and anime and will include a number of re-recorded songs from the team's first era and feature high-quality dance tunes.'

If they ship another 1 million copies with this BEST album I kill myself o.o

thanks for info Foxxy

so crazy....

hmm..i;m sure next best album can sell 1 million again...
but seems catchy best sell lower than exile love for 1st week

I saw on ThePPN where CATCHY BEST sold over 680k in its first week O_O

^ yap..
catchy best sold 680K in 1st week..

^ That's what I said :|

^ huhuhu.. it was very high. i wonder how are their sales next 2 best albums

total sales EXILE

*1 1,430,312 **3,792 EXILE LOVE / EXILE 07/12/12

*4 *,680,162 680,162 EXILE CATCHY BEST / EXILE 08/03/26

That's good to hear because they've been overdoing the mid-tempo dance tune thing.

EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST - 2008.7.23

Following the release of EXILE CATCHY BEST, the seven-men group announced the second best album in their "EXILE PERFECT YEAR 2008" campaign, EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST, to be released on 2008.7.23. The album will be released in CD+2DVD format and will include new tracks as well as re-recorded tracks from the group's first era. The first DVD will include PVs and making of clips for songs from Chapter 2, and the second DVD will contain the EXAMURAI anime, which features Kishitani Gorou as HIRO, Narimiya Hiroki as TAKAHIRO, Hagiwara Masato as ATSUSHI, and the group's own MATSU, USA, and MAKIDAI as their own voice actors.

I really like their collaboration with Sowelu! I've never listened to EXILE but the lead singers voice is really, really nice.

ENTERTAINMENT BEST won't do nearly as well as CATCHY BEST I think...

NEW EXILE Single Info + Covers!! Credits to JPM.

YAY!!! I'm really excited about this :D
The clothes, though, are seriously tacky :/

is this permanent or just for the single?

^ Nobody knows whether it is a one-time single thing, or if they will be releasing more singles as 14 members. So we shall have to see as time progresses.

Anyways, the Someday PV has finally aired, and here it is available for streaming:

^ Thanks Yoake.

Please post more often in this thread, I was getting so lonely posting all by myself. :weep

Lol, yeah, there doesn't seem to be that many EXILE fans on AHS.

:laugh. I can post more here. I just posted new because I saw it on JPM. I didn't know a lot of their music. I think I should listen to more of them.

^ Glad that you will be sticking around this thread, which is good. :D

Have you heard the song they did with Koda Kumi? It's called "Won't Be Long".

If you never heard it, I recommend it! ^^

Yay I already heard it!
I think it's good song even if I think it should be a few more rythmic!

I can remember that I listen to a cd with two dogs on the cover. one blue and one purple...But I didn't remind me the title!

^ Oh ok, I see. I'm glad you like the song.

The cd you mentioned with two dogs on the cover, I think it's not an EXILE cd.

If I remember correctly, it's a cd by a J-urban duo called CHEMISTRY. It's their compilation album titled "All the best".

If you search on google images, you will find it! This is the cd right?

XD yes that's it!!

I totally mixed up them! >.<

^ I only like a few songs from CHEMISTRY. They have good songs also. ^^

Anyways, I dunno what is next for EXILE, whether they will stay as a 14-member
group, or go back to their original group.

14 is quite a lot of members for a group. o_O

Yeah I agree that 14 is lot!! Would they like beat the morning musume ? :innoncent

One song and pv I particularly love from them is Tada...aitakute. The story is really lovely.

^ :laugh Morning mosume also have so many members.

And I love "Tada" also, the PV is really good too. :love

They hire a full building to house all members now XD

^ :roflmao xD

EXILE + J Soul Brothers = 14 member group.

But what if they add in COLORS?

Then it becomes 19 member group, haha! I think COLORS is 5 member group, or maybe it is 4, can't remember.

4 I think!

It'll would be horrible! XD

I think 5 members for a band is good but more :no

There's some info about a new upcoming single, from JPM:

good news^^
thanks for sharing!

July 22nd , 2009 - New EXILE Single!

CD: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-46315

CD+DVD: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-46314

thanks for info!

Two month it's so long!! >.<

^ Yeah, I agree, it is.

Looks like it's just you and me in this thread, Yoake. :weep

I wish more people posting here in this thread.

I find artist & band section isn't very active for some reason recently.

Maybe people went back to school, or more busy with their personal lives. :bawl

Yeah it's sad.
But I think that people are really busy too.
I come less and less here because I must pass exams.

It's a bad seasons for student!
But maybe with the new single, some people'll come back in that thread!

^ Yeah, this section seems so much slower and not as active.

I hope the new single will bring people back into this thread, also! ^^

:) But I don't think everyone visits the artist & band section, as I saw some people
said they only look at asian chat section's main sub-forum.

Yeah that's true. Some people don't come here to talk about artists they like!
I was like them before.

I'm here too!!

Is anyone interested in seeing any of EXILE's concerts? I can upload the new one that was released in March.

Yeah!! It's nice to see that thread attract people again.

I'm really interesting even if I couldn't watch it before the end of June.

So upload it please !^^

Hi milky way! Nice to see you in the thread! :)

Anyways, here's the first week sales of DJ Makidai's current CD, released on May 20th. (Makidai is one of the members of EXILE)
