the May J. thread.
 

She's a wanksta!

BABY GIRLS SAY *BOOM BA BOOM BOOM...*

Man I love getting my freak on to this JAM. <3

Speaking of shoot downs, on Last.fm one of her tags is "ugly b****". LOLOLOLLL :(

Her nose is huge, I must admit.

^I've never noticed her nose. I can't believe we're tha same age though. She's doin' it bigga than me. :weep

:roflmao

...but I hated the video she did with Verbahdo. Ugh, so cheap.....thankies to verbahdo!

Someone gimme the mp3 of Do tha Do tha!

Oh, ain't she full japanese?

Do Tha Do Tha is HOT!!! Definitely one of the bests. You'll love it Luv [I guess you've already heard it]

10 posts in like 5 minutes LOL. May J sure is hot :D

Yeah, the pic on the first post is the only promo I like so far. :laugh The others are so, yucky. Still, I think calling her an "ugly *****" is a bit much though. But her debut mini-album's cover is disgusting. :dead2

Kaokao, she's Japanese. Well, she was born in Japan... maybe she's Eurasian? Nah, she's not pretty enough

Des anyone have th esong she did with Home Made Kazou and some other people as well? I wanna hear it.

this made me laugh so much!

i love do tha' do tha'. very very catchy song, lol.

the rest of her album is quite weak, though. which is a shame :(

I only have "Baby Girl" and the DO THA' DO THA' PV. :(

Edit; I'm aware it's called "DO tha' DO tha'" btw, I just hate how it looks. :P

Me too. It should at least be "do THA do THA" =/

I prefer Do Tha Do Tha

Well I prefer all-caps. Puts emphasis on how fierce the song is! :P

DO THA' DO THA' BODY BODY!

^i thought she was black! :shrug

I like the rap

me and my girls, we do that do that
supa dupa, who that who that?
move your body, wanna party?
I'm May J. baby, hard rock candy!

baby girl say do that do that
baby boy so who that who that
move your body, wanna party?
Im May J baby, hard rock candy!

Yeah, I heard that her dad is, whilst her mother is Japanese. Can't remember where I read it though. She looks like it on the "MY GIRLS" album cover I think~

Isn't she supposed to be fluent in English.... that rap sounds like Engrish to me. =/

she's fluent enough, but not 100%. she was on melody.'s J-MELO show speaking english, and she spoke good. but it's not perfect. she only went to an english school in japan for high school, so it's not like she went to an english speaking school all her life.

Oh. I always thought she was fluent, aha. Thanks :thumbsup

i think it's still on dailymotion.

^ Thanks, May J. seems so nice! Turns out me and Kaori were right, in that vid May said she has ancestors from Iran, Turkey, Russia and even England~ That's a lot of places!

I've seen that clip and honestly I love mel but it was bit annoying when she said "Do That Do That." I mean that's not what the song is called...

yea, but 'tha is an abreviation or a "gangsta" way in saying "that", lol. so melody wasn't really wrong. she was just using proper english. :laugh

yeah but I dunno. It's just not what the song is called. lol, it's not that big a deal and it's technically the same thing but still...

So May J. will be doing a duet with Masayuki Suzuki on his album entitled "Martini Duet." The song is called "Endless Love"

-> credits to controlle at JPM

Yeah I never heard of him either.

What's wrong with mel's phrase Kaori? Just the "like" part or are you taking back her being "proper"

oh, yeah you gotta love mel!

I hope this duet is gonna be good, sounds like a ballad...

LOL yes, melody. is like that. XD

Gosh, May J is such a mixture. :shakehead

Wow, so there is a May J. thread. I thought there wasn't, since people were posting about her new releases in the J-Urban general thread.

I like her song called "HERE WE GO", and I'm looking forward to her upcoming album. ^^

other way round.

her dad's japanese whilst her mother is persian

I didn't know there was a May J. thread either :o

anyways for those that didn't see the J-Urban thread she switched to rhythm zone http://www.rhythmzone.net/mayj/ and has a new album "FAMILY" out on the 27th of May.

I was wondering where May J. went.

larger covers from YA:

Also, ARIA was May J's first guest on her radio show! :)

covers are so pretty

New article from Tokyograph:

Ooh! I wanna see some May J. modeling pics.

May J. is beautiful, so i'm not so surprised :yes i wish her all the luck!

i also hope her album turns out to be good :P

^ Me too, I hope her new album is going to be good to listen to. :)

didn't she try modelling before she debuted as a singer...?

also, the previews for the album suck. not even one upbeat song. booo, there goes my anticipation for her new album. it's the same old "keep your head up" "don't look back" "we must all unite ladies!!" blah blah blah

i really pity her because her voice is really good

yea, i don't like what avex has done to her. i miss her "do tha do tha" style :weep

i'd kill for her to do another song like that. :scry

^ or "Baila Conmigo"

Her avex album sounds decent. It sound so much better if they didn't do it so sappy and cheesy. :dead I had high for DAISHI DANCE since their so good but no :weep the most cheesy song there.

New PV - May J. / もし君と... with キマグレン（フルサイズ）

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB8dEFy7WvM

thanks

From JPM:

For the new pv: I think it's a random pv. Not exceptionnel. The song it's ok for me

WISE make a lot of feat at that moment...no?

I'm not liking this new direction that May J. is taking. I heard the album preview over at JPM and the only song I like is "Garden". I really wish she would go back to her "Baby Girl" days.

pv is nothin special, song is alright. just alright. :/

meh, the video is really like Garden. But I do like this song better

I really hope she doesn't do more music like this in future :( :no

I wonder why she changed music genres. It's weird especially since she's on the rhythm zone sub-label.

I guess they wanted her to be like BENI since she left avex :x

PV for Tabidatsu Kimi ni


boring and the "we are family" part just kills it.

what happened to this girl.

^
Another video?

I'm trying it out as well

Yeah, there's 3 PVs for the album. Moshi Kimi to..., Garden and Tabidatsu Kimi ni. :yes

So is anyone else gonna act like "FAMILY" never happened and wait for a better release? :innocent

^

Now that you mentioned it....I think I'm going to join you on that idea.

I'll try to.. :laugh

I just wanted to share this with everyone that...

MAY J.'S ALBUM BABY GIRL IS ON SALE AT YESASIA FOR US$10.99

^ 65% off, woah, that's a lot!

Is YesAsia having a huge clearance or something?

^

Well YesAsia has a bargain section and I tend to look there sometimes as they randomly add/remove stuff and I saw that they added the album there.

^ Oh, please give me the link to the bargain section, I want to see if there are other CD's that are going for cheap. ^^

Here you go http://www.yesasia.com/us/en/bargains.html

^ ok, thx very much. :)

FAMILY up :)
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1958480

^ Thx, I will go there now to download it.

i don't like the album much, there were some nice songs like give my heart and the remix but most tracks were too meh :/

she should do another do tha do tha :innocent

btw the album debuted at #5 on oricon

hm...

ok, this is another may j. we are talking about, but i still love her.
new album overall is good, maybe it will be amazing when ill listen to it some more but i really think interludes like family interlude and unity are totally unnessesary. i was hoping for more new tracks by may j. not boring interlude. yeah, i must be happy there are only two interludes (*thinksofayu*)
i like story of love and remember the most so far.

god yeah, the interludes were quite silly too D: especially the outro

i'm surprised she debuted at #5. i'll listen to the album later, i hope it's good :P

^ Amazing what'll chart high and low. Maybe more people love this direction May is in? :shrug

hmm btw, she goes to my college and went to my friends High school (american high school in japan--that's the name of the school...hahaha) But i only see her occasionally walking down the street, we just cross paths. haha

oh, and i 100% prefer the "new" may j. haha. her other music was just kinda tacky in my opinion. all my girls all right all right, girls all right all right, where my....etc. :-\ i think it has more substance now. and she'll continue to grow, i suspect :D Plus, there's a chance that her album could linger on the charts for a bit (and a chance for it to drop really fast..but i prefer the former.)

^ lucky you! :D what a small world, lol.

Woah, that's really cool. Haha you should walk by her once and be like good album then quickly run away. :laugh

@ tokyojapanfan : cool, you're so lucky! ^^

And I'm surprised at the chart ranking. Looks like she's doing good on avex's sub-label.

avex have something really special going on. Now, if only Sowelu switched to their label, now that her contract with sony has ended. :innocent

damn that's awesome you've seen her before :D

i do agree her older stuff was kinda tacky before, well the lyrics for sure, even I can write that stuff lol. :laugh But I wish she would do some good upbeat stuff, but that cheesy lyrics like before.

glad she's doing well though, Japan really seems to like music like this :yes

First 4 days - Oricon Daily Chart:


x->5->3->3->3 - May J. - x + 4,036 + 3,186 + 4,024 = 11,246

Not all of her older music was tacky. This new direction she's taking is alright but I miss her dancing which it seems we won't be seeing that much.


Garden performance on Melodix!

damn #3?! how are people loving this new direction of music? :laugh i still gotta DL the album, though. so i better shut up, lol.

So, looks like the move to avex really helped her music career. ^^

Hope her album will sell really well.

OMG, today, I found out that avex signed up sowelu on their label. o_O!!

Kinda scared me, because I wanted her to go on that label, and now she is! @_@

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

x->5->3->3->3->3->3 - May J. - x + 4,036 + 3,186 + 4,024 + 4,961 + 5,605 = 21,812

im really happy for her :love

I had never listen to May J. before but I say how she was doing on the charts so I decided to download her album and I have to say I love mostly all the songs on it. Moshi Kimi to..., Tabidatsu Kimi ni, and Cresent Moon -DASHI DANCE remix- are the songs I love the most.

May J. came in at #4.

Oricon

i thought yuna would be #4 :( i still didn't hear the garden album, btw, lol.

May J. did better than Yuna Ito?

I find that surprising, because I thought Yuna was more popular, well-known, and her songs appealed to more people than May J?
Not to mention also that Yuna's fanbase is probably bigger. Hmm...

May J. probably did better than Yuna because of Garden, I read somewhere that the song is popular in Japan. Yuna didn't have any popular songs from her album and two of the three singles she released for the album flopped so...

**1　*79,727　the HIATUS
**2　*64,570　平井堅
**3　*32,228　Green Day
**4　*26,662　May J.
**5　*23,645　Eminem
**6　*19,633　YOKO KANNO SEATBELTS
**7　*19,528　伊藤由奈
**8　*18,583　DJ KAORI
**9　*17,814　Linkin Park
*10　*11,440　MEG

yuna ito is more well known, but that doesn't mean she's well liked or purchased. her singles sold awful, except for the one being promoted through anime. yuna's popularity is pretty low now.

Most people didn't know May J. when she released her older music, so she's "new" to them. And her music is obviously appealing. ANd i wouldn't say people are only buying the album for garden, otherwise they could buy the online single for much cheaper. you're able to listen to entires albums in stores, so people probably like what they hear. I mean obviously some people are going to buy the album for garden, or at least pick up the album and look at it for garden.

But yeah, i'm really happy to see her album get #4! that's really great!!

garden is a cover of some old song, forgot who did it...

and i'm really surprised she did better meg, and hell even yuna lol
