jeffycue 16th January 2009 03:28 AM

hehehe. im in love with them... i even have a huge crush with the chorus vocalist.. if im not mistaken, he's Ryoji.... its quite hard to be a fan of them if there arent many english infos about them.

rookies 16th January 2009 11:53 AM

When I first watched the Sakura PV, I thought the girl in the PV looked a lot like Ayumi Hamasaki, hehe. XD

My favourite Ketsumeishi songs are: Sakura, Tabiudo, and Kimi ni BUMP. ^^

jeffycue 16th January 2009 12:27 PM

^^ hhmmm.. i saw Iida Kaori from Morning Musume. hehehe.

i have several songs that i like... the ones i can remember now is Sakura, Fuyu Monogatari and Kachoufuugetsu (this is my first song from them)

rookies 16th January 2009 12:41 PM

^ Is that who the girl is in the Sakura PV? Lol. I do like watching Ketsumeishi PV's cus they are like a short story, and they are interesting to watch.

There's nothing new with Ketsumeishi as a group, but there is new stuff going on with individual members / side projects.

DJ Kohno's producing some sort of compilation album, that's going to be released next month.

I'll post again with the details once I can somehow find it, and translate it into English. ^^

DeepRiver 27th April 2009 06:44 PM

No new Infos? I love Ketsumeishi ... i hope they release a new Single soooooon!

rookies 28th April 2009 02:03 AM

^ I don't think there's any new info on Ketsumeishi as of lately.

I do hope they comeback with a new release, it feels like it's been such a long time since they've released anything.

And I need to re-design the first post, as it looks really barebones, hmm... I'll edit it, and put in some more info, like discography, links, etc. :)

And some of the youtube videos don't work, so I'll need to find other links to replace those.


~EDIT~ : First post has been re-designed! Plus I have edited some posts in this thread, and changed some youtube links, so they should work now! :D

They're still pretty popular, which I think is amazing considering their absence for a few years ... I hope they can score another megahit, like Sakura XD

rookies 2nd May 2011 01:08 AM

Just to update news on Ketsumeishi, they've released 3 singles:


- "Tatakae! Salaryman" (闘え!サラリーマン) - November 17, 2010

- "Ballad/Kimi to Tsukuru Mirai" (バラード/キミとつくるの未来) - January 26, 2011

They also released their 7th album, Ketsunopolis 7 (ケツノポリス7) on March 16th, 2011. It peaked at #1 on Oricon, which means they are still quite popular.
