thanks

well they're pretty good even though unfortunately they don't have a distinct music sound like NEWS

still they have some nice songs & no thanks to my younger sister who canjole me to try their stuff out

she watched Vampire Knight & Vampire Knight Guilty , that's how she came across ON / OFF

she doesn't like Kanon Wakeshima whom provided the closing theme songs for both animes though , bummer

carcar♥ 30th June 2009 11:51 PM

Oh, I love this group! They have great voices and my favorite single is Futatsu.
Wish they were bigger though...

yeah Futatsu's ace , be it the vampire version or the album version

I hope they can release something new this year sooner or later :yes

carcar♥ 1st July 2009 01:24 AM

I know! This is a group I am going to support all the way! Once I stop being broke....
Even so, I'll still buy whatever they release! :D

heh bless

I did thought of buying the limited edition of Legend of Twins I : Futago Densetsu which has a DVD & an 80 page hardcover photobook but it's SO expensive @_@

I think I just will stick to getting the normal CD only edition of their album as it's more affordable for me

took me a while to distinguish between Naoya & Kazuya but not anymore

carcar♥ 1st July 2009 01:35 AM

Usually normal is the only thing I get, but it still works! I just have to pay my bills first then I'll order it.

But Kazuya looks slightly chubbier to me? That is how I tell him apart.

true & besides the 4 extra tracks in the limited edition tracklist of their album , I'm OK with not having them around sorta

Kazuya - to me he's the more cuter one xD xD & it helps that he's younger than Naoya too

That's how I look at things too! xD

I think Naoya is cuter! When I first watched the Futatsu video I was like "wow, he's really attractive!" And I like that he is older, even if it may be by a few minutes or seconds. But they both are a little on short side.. I just may not work.

KarenPang 1st July 2009 01:55 AM

according to their official website , Kazuya's shorter than Naoya by 1cm

http://www.onoff-net.com/profile/

carcar♥ 1st July 2009 01:58 AM

Even if it's one cm, the one cm attracts to me.

kendelle 1st July 2009 03:33 AM

I like these guys. I have the VK singles (in “vampire” versions xD) but haven’t looked them up too much.

I’m surprised their last single didn’t chart. But I haven’t heard it yet, was it bad? Lol

I was going to buy the album but I just can’t afford it. Maybe one day second hand or if there is ever and OS press :yes

Hana Kagari's ace imo :heart . It's sad that it didn't charted because it was only released in 1 edition (unlike Eien no Setsuna which had 2 editions & their VK singles were released in 3 editions) & there weren't any major tie in promo , drama & anime wise

pity as I really like it

The local HMV in my country said that they're selling the CD only edition of the album

I'm going to get it soon , not now because it's S$77 @_@ :dead2

I did thought of buying the CD + DVD with the photobook because it has 4 extra tracks (not so much on the photobook that I really need) but meh it's going for almost S$165+ on YesAsia @_@

They look so hot on their album cover :luv2

It's one of my fav covers!!

KarenPang 3rd July 2009 02:12 PM

They generally have some nice covers for their singles & CD but the one for Hana Kagari's a bit o_O :laugh

I like it!! The concept is pretty good but the twins' expressions annoy me :P It's REALLY unfortunate it didn't chart, I was looking forward to seeing where it would end up on the charts since their previous releases have been pretty good (for a debut group)

that's true

they prove the point in that it's important when comes to releasing of singles in that

1) multiple versions are handy
2) strong tie in for a drama/anime will help raise awareness for sales

in which Hana Kagari more or less demonstrate as to why it didn't chart at all T_T

pity because I really like the song

KarenPang 6th July 2009 03:11 AM

OH I thought Hana Kagari didn't charted in the Oricon

but it actually did o_O at #47 according to http://j-ongaku.org/wiki/ON/OFF#Albums

it beats not being charted at all & at least it's not their worst performing single to date (it goes to their debut Eien no Setsuna)

& speaking of Hana Kagari , a promo pic of them

Kazuya still looks cuter than Naoya to me :lmfao

Its good to know that it charted atleast. It was really good (of course it deserved a higher position but still, its a start) I wanna see these guys get #1's!!!

I was going o_O when I heard Hana Kagari's B-side ie. Hane Kaesu Yuuki

it's so different from the A-side & it's quite cheesy here & there but since it's summer inspired & it's summer right now in Japan (no differences in season in S'pore) , guess I can cut some slack on this

Maemi 7th July 2009 02:33 PM

I really love Rinne Rondo and Futatsu No Kodo To Akai Tsumi. They're amazing openings.
But Eien no Setsuna is just terrible and I can't stand it. The B-side is even worse.

I must listen to Hana Kagari, even though I've got a feeling they can't do nothing properly out of VK.

I agreee!!
Eien no Setsuna wasn't even half as good as those two VK openings!! But Hana Kagiri was really good, so was their album! You should check it out :)

I'm listening to it right now :) What album? @_@ I think they don't have an album yet?

And btw do you guys like thier debut single Yokogao?:dead2

KarenPang 9th July 2009 02:20 AM

the twin brothers's full discography has been added & posted in AHS

everyone can help him/herself to it :) & for the record , I LOVE Eien no Setsuna period

it's more or less the song that started their musi career even though I can't deny the fact that the 2 vampire knight & vampire knight guilty songs were the ones that make people sit up & take notice of them

aqua_crystal 9th July 2009 08:13 AM

^:yes I mean, I like Eien no Setsuna but no where close to Futatsu or Rondo.

I love LOST for some reason, they tried something new, and the vocals were really cute :P

Yes they do! It was a 17-song album called Legend of Twins I (can't remeber full name) It was very good although it had very few new songs.

LOL it's Legend Of Twins I : Futago Densetsu

it was released in 3 editions . The one that has 17 songs is the CD + DVD Type A & it comes with a 80 page hardcover photobook

the other 2 editions namely the CD & CD + DVD Type B , only has 13 songs

all editions only comes with 5 new songs & not 4

Oh so that is! I saw that title on nautiljon, but I dudn't want to open and check it out because I thought it was a fan compilation :rolleyes

LOL I hope there will be the third season of VK :heart Maybe they'll do an opening for it too:D Or at least they should release smth new, I don't like their 'slow stuff'.

aqua_crystal 10th July 2009 09:56 AM

^At the moment, it doesn't seem like VK is going to have a third season anytime soon (hope I'm wrong though). If it does, there's a 80%+ chance they'll be doing the opening again! Same for Kanon W. doing the ending because it's obvious that VK has given them a lot of popularity.

Maemi 16th January 2010 03:31 PM

So, right now I like Signal, Eien no Setsuna and Futatsu... Still listening to their debut album.

KarenPang 16th January 2010 03:36 PM

I REALLY hope that they can come back with something

after they released their debut album they pretty much gone MIA just like what happened to Kanon Wakeshima too X____X

aqua_crystal 18th January 2010 11:28 AM

^Haha, both ON/OFF & Kanon disappeared after releasing two singles and a debut album... This sucks. I can't even remember the last time I heard a song from them.

KarenPang 18th January 2010 11:29 AM

haha yes that's ironic isn't it ?

also both were in charge of the opening/closing theme songs for Vampire Knight & Vampire Knight Zero respectively o.o

aqua_crystal 19th January 2010 09:00 AM

^...which is why I mentioned them together. They disappeared, just like Vampire Knight. (Btw, the second season was VK GUILTY not Zero)

KarenPang 8th April 2010 12:56 PM

Ok the PV's a bit random/silly but I don't care as I'm very happy they're finally back with something :weep

is it bad that I was STARING so hard at Kazuya when I saw the PV ? X_X T_______________T

KarenPang 11th June 2010 04:27 AM

Butterfly is worthy of a comeback for the twin brothers super big time !

I'm really impressed with how mature/grown up sounding the A-side's & the B-side CONNECTION is really solid too

I'm not really a pop person to begin with but ON/OFF rocks :luv2

I'm so happy they're back man as I really like their material in general

& I haven't recover after seeing Kazuya in the bathtub in the Butterfly PV & he was soaking wet there @_@ @_@ @_@ @_@ @_@ X_X X_X X_X X_X

My face was like that last night -> ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥

oh he's the one on the left xD His twin older brother Naoya's on the right x)

aqua_crystal 14th June 2010 06:46 PM

Ok sorry I'm late but I just heard the song and I think its one of their strongest releases so far. I've been listening to their album again and I think I'm starting to love em again :heart

As for the PV, I like the overall theme and I wouldn't mine owning the single tbh ;) (Another addition to my wishlist) And Karen, I can understand why u went all "♥____♥" over Kazuya in the bathtub but I was like :roflmao when I saw that part cuz it was sooooo random!!

KarenPang 15th June 2010 02:42 AM

yeah I agree Alicia , Butterfly's a really strong comeback for the twins :yes

I thought the Japanese public might have forgotten about them as they were MIA for quite a long time but it's nice that Butterfly has performed on par if not slightly better than what Rinne -Rondo- if not Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi

Frankly I think Butterfly would have tanked badly if it's not for the Durara!! anime tie in but who cares xD

same like me , I have began to relisten to Legend Of Twins & I really forgotten how much I enjoyed it so much even though by right I'm not a pop person

honestly , their PVs are very random if not silly & LMAO , I really was in ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ ♥____♥ mode when I saw Kazuya in the bathtub 8D

I don't know why the director made him do that but it certainly did made me sit up & take notice hehe

I've just started to watch Vampire Knight. & I fall in love with the opening Futatsu No Kodo To Akai Tsumi.
Maybe should I try their album?

*°wann_ayubabies°* 18th June 2010 08:57 PM

i really love the both songs that they provided for vampire knight *-*

my sister also liked futatsu no kudou although she isn't japan obsessed like me :)

they have a beautiful voice i really like to listen to them and they don't look bad either^^

:D

you definitely should , Yoake

since you didn't listen to their 1st 4 singles in full , all the B-sides found in all their 1st 4 singles are all found in their debut album Legend of Twins I -Futago Densetsu-

so if you have all their 1st 4 singles , you will feel really pissed off xD

but yeah ON/OFF are totally *__* . Singles wise , excluding Butterfly , I definitely highly recommend Futatsu no Kodo to Akai Tsumi & Rinne -Rondo-

===

Aw Naoya is sad T-T , someone should cheer him up xD

Yoake 19th June 2010 11:17 AM

I didn't have the single, only Futatsu no Kodo to Akai Tsumi one.
Ok I'll download their album.
thanks

KarenPang 19th June 2010 11:24 AM

The B-sides in Futatsu no Kodo to Akai Tsumi , you can find all of them in Legend of Twins I -Futago Densetsu- so don't be surprised if you find the same songs on their debut album cos after including all the B-sides taken from their 1st 4 singles , you only are left with like what 3-4 album tracks :tired

but Legend of Twins I -Futago Densetsu- is really solid , I enjoy it :D

aqua_crystal 19th June 2010 09:47 PM

^it may have a much of already released songs, I agree, the album is still very good :yes

I hope they come out with more stuff soon and dont go on a hiatus again. Wouldnt mind a new single/album right about now :D

Glad to see you've started watching VK, Yoake :) I used to be obsessed with it...

Kazuya blogged yesterday

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/180250.html

LOL is it me or they're making a mountain outta a molehill with regards to the peak position of Butterfly ? O_O

I hope they're kidding man about this cos it's already their best charting release to date

KarenPang 21st June 2010 12:51 AM

Naoya updated their blog yesterday

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/181906.html

he's really weird/ecentric man O_O''' & for a soon to be 27 year old dude , it's quite :O for me to handle

& erm shouldn't you eat something cold related to wear off the heat during summer ? :O

KarenPang 22nd June 2010 03:00 AM

Kazuya updated their blog again

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/183773.html

at least Kazuya seems more sane than Naoya , well from the entries that Kazuya had written xD

God, you're right, he's crazy!!! All he wrote about was how he went shopping and bought tomatoes. Ok ok, I know. Most Japanese celebs blog about weird things like that. They're all so strange in that sense. Plus, I HATE tomatoes....

latest blog translations of the guys

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/196114.html

LOL so this means instead of Kazuya Sakamoto , I should change that to Kazuya Mama ? :P

just when you thought ON/OFF couldn't get anymore weirder ~_~

aqua_crystal 13th July 2010 09:27 PM

Oh God, I wud've thought Kazuya was the more mature member of the duo.... but after seeing that pic..... OH MY GOD O_o

They're both too weird to me... If i didn't know any better, I'd think the two of them are drunk -_-

KarenPang 14th July 2010 12:38 AM

Kazuya's younger than Naoya by a few mins

so it still shocked me on the random weird way each of them blogged , it's getting a bit o_O for me to handle

yeah makes you wonder what exactly happened when they blog each time 8D :innocent

KarenPang 16th July 2010 02:06 AM

Kazuya Mama blogged the past 3 days

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/201845.html

..... I'm curious man , are the guys drunk or something whenevr they blog ? O_O

I think Kazuya should change his surname legally to Mama now if that's the case ~_~

Are they wearing yukatas?

KarenPang 19th July 2010 01:52 PM

yup you got that right , the brothers are wearing Yukatas in the pictures :yes

oh god Kazuya is so hot , I would have liked him more if he's not wacky to begin with .__.

Chandrachan 19th July 2010 02:19 PM

^ I love it when guys wear yukatas :D lol yeah Kazuya looks totally hot he's wacky? ^_^

KarenPang 19th July 2010 02:21 PM

it's true , both brothers are really weird man

well from the way they blog but I think Kazuya is the more odd one outta the 2

their surname is Sakamoto but in recent times Kazuya started calling himself Kazuya Mama o_O

some of their translated blog entries - http://community.livejournal.com/ran...logs/tag/onoff

I was -_-''' on every single level

aqua_crystal 19th July 2010 06:15 PM

eww. They look gross in yukatas. Some people just cant pull them off O_o

I can understand if their blog entries are like that here & there but not all the time

aqua_crystal 12th September 2011 06:36 PM

^whether they release it tomorrow or after 5 months, I'm really glad theyre still in the music business and haven't randomly vanished like most anime-soundtrack artists do. I really liked theyre first album so I'm going to be looking forward to this one :)

Why is the CDA version so expensive though?

Diva_br 12th September 2011 08:28 PM

their release pattern can be very unpredictable that's for sure :O

I mean the release time frame differences between Hajimaru no Wa , Sayonara & Akatsuki is really huge X.X but most of the time luckily , the quality of their stuff's great

I guess the CDA for Legend Of Twins II - Zoku Futago Densetsu -is very costly due to some special packaging & extra goodies thrown in , it happened before for Legend Of Twins I -Futago Densetsu-

Anyway for their 2nd album , I'm fine with the 'normal' CD + DVD pressing , I want their PVs in DVD rip !

Butterfly *____*

KarenPang 15th September 2011 02:16 AM

HMV Japan & CDJapan already have released the tracklist for Legend Of Twins II -Zoku Futago Densetsu- o_o

1) Opening
2) Butterfly
3) CONNECTION
4) Hajimaru no Wa , Sayonara
5) Kimi ga Inakerya
6) tbc
7) Mata Ashita
8) Kimi ga Suki
9) Akatsuki
10) Chozetsu Requiem
11) Chromatic Liner
12) Ending

I don't know what's the tracklist for Akatsuki but wow I'm actually glad I don't buy their singles because the B-sides for both Butterfly (CONNECTION) & Hajimaru no Wa , Sayonara (Kimi ga Inakerya) are included in here _|_

Mata Ashita & Kimi ga Suki both sound like ballads to me :p

Also this time round , the tracklist for Legend Of Twins II -Zoku Futago Densetsu- is the same for all 3 editions , unlike the time when Legend Of Twins I -Futago Densetsu- was released :O

Anyway , I'm going to preorder my copy of Legend Of Twins II -Zoku Futago Densetsu- now via HMV Japan . I want the DVD rips of their single PVs :P

KarenPang 9th October 2011 03:21 AM

Tracklist for Akatsuki has been updated via CDJapan

1. 暁 ; Akatsuki
2. 突き刺され!ダーツ ; Tsukisasa re ! Darts
3. I loving...-僕の愛- (Boku no Ai)
4. 暁 ; Akatsuki (Instrumental)

The B-sides titles sound interesting , wouldn't surprise me if I loving ...-Boku no Ai- will be a ballad :p

The tracklist for Legend Of Twins II -Zoku Futago Densetsu- has been updated/changed & it's more meatier x)

1) Opening myth
2) Hajimaru no Wa , Sayonara
3) Chozetsu Requiem
4) Kimi ga Suki
5) I loving ...-Boku no Ai-
6) Butterfly
7) Kimi ga Inakerya
8) Chromatic Liner
9) CONNECTION
10) Boku Dake no Orion
11) Akatsuki (Album Ver.)
12) Ending
13) 24 Jikan no Shinwa (The Myth Of Time)
14) Christmas Carol no Koro Niha (By The Time)

I prefer this tracklist much more than the 1st 'draft' . At least the A & B-sides will not be slotted side by side together

Akatsuki will be released next week & the previews sounds pretty good on their website , kinda suck this's going to tank pretty badly though haha D:

KarenPang 7th November 2011 03:47 AM

Akatsuki PV

I really cannot wait for their 2nd album Legend Of Twins II -Zoku Futago Densetsu- which will be released on 7th Dec =DDD
