Somehow I find that アリス九號. (alice nine) is a bit too much like フランプール (flumpool). You know, those guys who showed their naked *******s on the cover of their EP?

Rock Steady 27th July 2009 02:20 PM

They don't look the same to me. :/

Anyways, here's the tracklisting for Hana.

華【hæ•nə】 tracklist: 01.華【hæ•nə】 | 02.SLEEPWALKER | 03.ハイ・アンド・ロウ
2009.08.05.


BTW, post people! There has to be some A9 fans on here other than me.

Sakura_Genki 27th July 2009 02:47 PM

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm an alice nine. fan! My favourite album is Alpha, and I think Shou is so hot. *-*

Alpha is amazing, but Zekkeishoku will always be my favorite.

I'm so lesbian/straight for Shou. Idk, is it a girl or a guy? xD I kid I kid.

milky_way 28th July 2009 03:43 AM

OMG alice nine. thread!!! :shimmy

AyUta 29th July 2009 01:05 AM

I only like Alpha :). As for singles, I only like RAINBOWS. That was a cool song <3.

Rock Steady 7th August 2009 02:47 AM

LOL the dramatic music in the video makes it so lol-tastic.
I wish I had planned my trip for Japan for this year instead of next year because I really want to see that.

NekoF4 29th December 2010 09:13 PM

I just discovered this thread :D
but it seems kinda dead :(
Did all the Alice Nine fans leave ?

Rock Steady 10th November 2011 01:58 AM

Let's give this thread life!! T_T

They have a new single coming out on December 21 titled "虹の雪 - Niji no Yuki"

http://i41.tinypic.com/2aqibr.jpg

The look is so-so for me, but I can't wait to hear the single! We have to wait so long though. ;_______;

tsumekaze_ 22nd January 2014 01:22 AM

So this kind of thread exists?! Is there someone still alive?
Big fan here. I have all their discography in my collection XD

brener 22nd January 2014 07:32 AM

I love them and I didn't know about this thread, actually I didn't know people here who likes Alice Nine ^^, this thread needs to be updated ASAP because even the stylization of their name has changed haha

by the way

New Single: SHINING (2/26)

New Album: Supernova (3/19)

tsumekaze_ 22nd January 2014 07:44 AM

Hi there!!! Yes it needs a big update haha. Probably we should just create a new one? I'm not even sure the user who opened it is still active on this forum... Btw super excited for the new singles!!!! <3 love the names. How did you like their last singles? I'm currently obsessed with kaisen zenya and exist!

brener 22nd January 2014 04:08 PM

I completely love shooting star :heart

I'm gonna open a new thread as soon as they release the new album covers =))

tsumekaze_ 22nd January 2014 04:51 PM

Good idea! I'll be waiting then :) hoping they release them soon. If you need help in updating the discography and info, just ask! I love shooting star, even if it's strangely pop. But the variety of genres is what I like about alicenine. Also daybreak is faboulous. Shou's voice makes me melt. Who's your favourite member? :D

brener 22nd January 2014 05:47 PM

Shou for sure is favorite one ^..^ :heart

I'm updating generasia's page, what I most need now are oricon numbers of their past works ^^

tsumekaze_ 22nd January 2014 06:17 PM

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_N...82.B0.E3.83.AB in here.
For the available numers you'll see in the extreme right tab some info and then a number followed by 位 as in15位. That is the oricon placement ^^

you mean shou? :D or nao?

brener 23rd January 2014 03:06 AM

Those posistions I can get at their page on Oricon's site, what I want is numbers.. :~

tsumekaze_ 23rd January 2014 12:52 PM

ohh. no idea for that, sorry <_< I'm curious too.

tsumekaze_ 8th February 2014 11:13 AM

so i got back into arisu9 a lot lately. Their latest single is fabolous. SHINING will be out this february, the 26th if I'm not wrong!!!!!! You can listen in youtube.

I've also watched their latest live on dvd, court of 9 #4. THESE GUYS ROCK they've grown up so muchhhh ;-; and my shou is fab as always u_u

tsumekaze_ 26th February 2014 01:17 PM

new single SHINING is out today.
It rocks.

download here

I feel like I should just create a new thread for them however, this is so old...

adantatu2 26th February 2014 09:34 PM

Thanks, i can't say i'm a fan, but i download their last digital single, and i loved it!
Now i think i'm gonna try this single.

tsumekaze_ 26th February 2014 10:51 PM

Let me know what you thought about it! It's pure gold, I swear. Especially from KURAYAMI and the reprise of jellyfish.
I can recommend GEMINI as an album worth listening to, if you're interested :)

DevilsClap 27th February 2014 02:47 PM

^
I loved the GEMINI Album as well! It was so perfect!

As for their new stuff: sadly I don't like it all, but their current single is really enjoyable to me actually.
I especially love from KURAYAMI!

tsumekaze_ 27th February 2014 03:49 PM

Hello there fellow fan!
Oh my you're wolkenreiter on tumblr? haha I'm sending-mail, I translated from KURAYAMI.
^^

Btw GEMINI is epic. I WANT GEMINI II INSTEAD OF SUPERNOVA HAHA.
As for their latest singles, they sure experimented a lot but maybe you could like songs like kasumi, hello world, apocalypse and subete he from 9 (very gemini-like) and NEMESIS, SHADOWPLAY, karma, exist, kaysen zenya.
I don't know if you have listened to them, I just listed my favs from the latest eras ^^

SHINING is a beautiful single, I love from kurayami and the reprise of jellyfish! ♥
leaving here the translation as well
http://sending-mail.tumblr.com/post/...ion-and-romaji

DevilsClap 27th February 2014 04:37 PM

I actually have been a fan of them for years.
To be honest, I don't remember anymore when I actually stopped following them properly.. ;_;
I miss them a lot actually and would like to see them live again as well

and oh my god you are sending-mail?
I'm sure I have been following you for a while already! ( I changed my tumblr url a while ago it was sunrize before)
I didn't know it was you though!
(I rarely post here on the forum because I'm very bad at expressing myself and I'm quite shy..)

Thank you for the translation again by the way, I was really interested in the translation and I'm glad someone did it!

Yeah the single in all is really really ! I'm glad!
I think I got back into them thanks to it.
I would love another GEMINI Album as well.
but I have to say I do adore the covers for SUPERNOVA a lot.
So colorful.

tsumekaze_ 27th February 2014 06:10 PM

AHHH so you're sunrize!! I've been following you for a long time too! didn't guess it was you who changed username ahah.
You should post more, I'm sure you have a lot if interesting things to say ^^
no need to be shy! plus we need to revive this thread♥ help me lady yeah?

I was the same as you, listened them for years then I kind of let go for two years and got back into their music and into following them some months ago. What worked for me was seeing their latest dvd, court of 9. It really is worth a view!
too bad they don't release blu rays, urgh.

I'm so glad this single got you back *hands cookie*
They're an awesome band imo, it's rare to find bands with their artistic sense nowadays! yes the cover for SUPERNOVA are lovely. I also love the concept of it! I love the regular edition's one but want to buy the limited for its contents so I'm very confused haha.

And I'm glad you liked the translation, I just thought the lyrics were so beautiful they should have been known to the entire world (so biased lol) ^^

DevilsClap 27th February 2014 08:02 PM

Yes I was sunrize. I changed my name sometime in January, I don't even know why. I just wanted something new..everyone changes their name almost on a daily basisand I never did ..so..xD;

I don't really have much interesting stuff to say, but I can try to post a bit more and be more active ;;

I think I also have been "away" from their fandom for at least two years as well.
It was also this way, that I haven't exactly kept up with what they were doing.
But if I found out that they had released a single or album somehow, I gave it a listen anyway because I used to be a big fan.

I prefer the CD only cover as well, and usually I'm someone who buys limited editions (or CD+DVD editions ) XD

I just looked at the tracklist for court to 9, and it's like GOLD! wow I think I do have to watch this one.
( But I know if I do, I will miss them tons after that xD )

I had some CD'S and DVD'S of them ( older stuff of course) , but I gave all of it to my sister since she used to be a huge fan of them as well xD

This thread needs more people posting as well. I noticed, or at least it seems as if J-rock isn't all that popular. Most threads seem to be for J-pop Artists.

I personally liked their Jewels single a lot as well as RAINBOWS
but Blue Flame was also pretty nice in my opinion.
( I actually like most of their singles)
Though, My taste is extremely weird anyway..>.<

this lovely girl posted it on youtube so you can watch it in HD and without downloading if you're interested darling!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T880kgktvZ8 << here click me for countless fun

awww lucky sister!!! Yup there aren't many people who post in here but we can start, it's nice that this thread is getting a bit of attention, I'm very happy! I also PMed a moderator to see if I could create a new thread updated, I think that would help. I'd also post useful links u_u
Btw I think that because this forum is about ayuchan most of the people who come in here are actually interested in JPOP, not j-rock. But alice nine are really particular when it comes to j rock. They also do pop and many experimental things so... ♥

I quote DevilsClap, I love those singles. I'd also recommend SHADOWPLAY, WHITE PRAYER (don't really like the b-side tho), CROSS GAME (the title song sucks imo but mugen is a whole piece of perfection. Do listen to it.), HANA (perfection), stargazer: (in particular karma, the bonus track, senkou and niji no yuki (NEMESIS is love)
These are my personal favourite, tho I'd recommend downloading their two best albums, Alice nine complete collection 2006-2009 and the 2010-2012 ones. you can download everything from this wonderful site: http://fantasy-alicenine.blogspot.it...scografia.html

DevilsClap 28th February 2014 12:06 AM

Thanks for the link! I will watch it in the coming days!<3

I hope you will be able to update the thread. I think this would help many people to get some more up-to date information on the band , as well as their upcoming and latest releases as well. Maybe that's why not many people post here, since they don't know about them , or the thread is just very old in general.

I never saw Alice Nine as pure J-rock to be honest. There are so many bands who are "harder" with their sound and such.
And you are right, this is an Ayu forum after all so of course most people will be listening to that mainly. xD

Niji no Yuki was lovely!
come to think of it, I enjoy most of their singles actually.
I mean there is always one title I really like on it.

My sisters favorites used to be TSUBASA and Fantasy
I think she loved White Prayer as well.

tsumekaze_ 28th February 2014 10:26 AM

Yes I'd love to update it too çç Because they have many things going on lately it'd be nice to do so and draw new fans in. Let's wait for the mod response!

Yes they are not very hardcore when it comes to rock. Maybe that's why I love them, I'm not a fan of heavy rock in general but there are some songs which have this alice niney atmosphere which I just love. Like the whole trilogy of gemini. That is truly something.
(Plus the flawless voice of my lovely vocalist WHO IS DEFINETELY NOT MY ETERNAL BIAS NO)

Haha, I really like their singles as well! Because they are 5 people with 5 different tastes when it comes to music (ex. shou is into pop music, tora into metal, hiroto into indie rock/rock, saga into indie etc.) they are able to create different songs with very different sounds and I think everyone will be able to enjoy at least one song each time from their singles or albums! If you take niji no yuki, for example, the title track and karma are two worlds apart, it's hard to believe they are the same band from the same single!

Have a good watch~ urgh I hate tsubasa. But the reprise made me like it a bit more!

DevilsClap 28th February 2014 12:49 PM

I like some hard stuff but not all. It really depends on the song actually.
I like to listen to some Heavy Metal for example yet not all Metal genres are to my liking.

My sister used to be so in love with Shou, haha xD
My favorite member is and will always be Hiroto<3
But look wise I got my hair styled a lot like Tora's.

I think it's good they try to do so many different things with their songs though,
that way, it never gets boring and there is always a surprise in some way.
Because you can't exactly tell how it will sound in the end.
Will it be a hard rock song? or more pop like?
with Alice Nine you can expect anything, in a good way usually xD

tsumekaze_ 1st March 2014 09:39 AM

I absolutely agree with you, I like that I can't ever be sure of what they'll be doing <3
My fav member is shou, I'm very biased over him. The second fav one is hiroto♥ he's so cute right? aw.

I got my answer from the mods, I'll be opening a new updated thread between today and tomorrow ^^ I'll post the link here once I'm done!
