V6 to release GUILTY in Korea

Japanese boy band V6 is set to release their new single in Korea next week, according to a press release by SM Entertainment on Friday.

The group's 36th single "Guilty", which hit No. 1 on the Oricon weekly chart, will be released on CD and DVD on October 14, explained SM.

The CD includes a poster and special booklet containing hand-written letters from the members in Korean. The DVD will show a live performance by two-subunits of the group; 20th Century -- made up of the three eldest members -- performing an acoustic version of the song "Startline" and Coming Century -- of the youngest three -- singing "Hello-Goodbye".

V6, who debuted in 1995 with "Music for the People", has released numerous singles and albums while also appearing on TV dramas, plays and musicals.

The six-member group is set to give their first concert in Korea on November 14 and 15 at Seoul Olympic Park's Olympic Hall.

erm correct me if I'm wrong but is this the 1st V6 single to be released in Korea ?

ll moments ll 10th October 2009 09:09 AM

"AMBITIOUS JAPAN!" can be found in their 2005 album "ACT II". it's their 9th studio album! :)

i guess it's V6's first time to release their material in Korea, since i don't think i've seen YesAsia list Korean versions of their material. but it's cool that they are going to! i think Arashi & KAT-TUN are the only other ones that release stuff in Korea.

:roflmao

ditto & amen to that , Lisa

ARGH I really hope Kis-My-Ft2's able to debut soon man @_@

like A.B.C.Z , Kis-My-Ft2 is damn long overdue to debut & I like their sound , they're a mini KAT-TUN since Kis-My-Ft2 backdance for the sextet a LOT

Also Fujigaya's pretty good in rapping :) & Senga's just downright plain stupid & girly xD

no wonder he's always getting scolded by Tackey :roflmao

ll moments ll 11th October 2009 01:20 AM

i think Kis-My-Ft II will be the next to debut, yeah? since they're undergoing a national tour right now.

but maybe...just maybe...they can change their name? LOL.

who do you listen to?
KIS-MY-FT II
...WAT.


but i hope FiVe debuts sometime too. they're a talented band!

KarenPang 11th October 2009 03:57 AM

I think Kis-My-Ft II should debut next . They're so long overdue to D: & I don't want them to be left out in the shadows . The same thing goes for A.B.C.Z too

oh Eirynne you know the band Question ? The lead singer/vocalist has supposedly left Johnny's altogether !! @_@ & the worst thing's that Question ? fans are blaming Uchi for this :thud

You see - http://never-ending-music-power.blog...of-topics.html

ick

ll moments ll 12th October 2009 12:53 AM

ummm. why are they blaming Uchi. he's not even in Question? he's like Ikuta Toma, an individual Johnny not in a group. :shrug i'm not in limbo with Johnny's Juniors anymore though, so i don't know.

i honestly don't mind who debuts next...however, i do think it's important for the new group to be a "KAT-TUN and/or KANJANI8" and not a "NEWS". a group with sass and a set style.

KarenPang 12th October 2009 01:48 AM

eh I have no idea honestly but still , I don't think it's fair to blame Uchi for this

I myself am not that familiar with the Johnny Juniors's activities too . Whatever news I know , I just know , if you know what I mean by that

AWESOME. i thought JE CDL last year just wasn't the same without the KinKi Kids. Tackey better be there also since he wasn't at Tokyo Dome either...he was with the Juniors at Imperial Theater. i think because he had his musical around the time of JE CDL.

& new DoKo solo album sounds great too. Tackey better release his too. LOL. but i think the sempais need new albums (KinKi, V6, TOKIO are overdue!)

KarenPang 14th October 2009 01:23 AM

I'm curious to see why antics will KinKi Kids pulled at this year's upcoming Johnny's CDL :P

Wendy subbed last's SDK with unaired scenes episodes of Shun Oguri & Mizushima Hiro - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/143190.html

BSB's there too but no interview in that clip she subbed unfortunately but KinKi Kids played backup to them when BSB performed which's cool

===

both Tsubasa and Kinki Kids have announced new concerts. It seems the only way for fans to see Tsubasa these days is to see him live at either a play or musical. His tour will run from mid-November to late December.

Kinki Kids will be taking over Countdown again as they are listed for being at the Tokyo Dome for the New Year.

V6's Hiroshi Nagano causes car accident

Hiroshi Nagano (37), a member of the group V6, caused a rear-end collision earlier this week.

On Monday evening, Nagano was driving on one of the Saitama routes of the Shuto Expressway. He collided with the back of a car that was stopped due to traffic. The car's driver, a 62-year-old female, fortunately suffered no injuries.

Police say that Nagano was not properly paying attention to the road in front of him.

KinKi Kids Tourdates - Johnny's net

I saw the news here first that Koichi announced on his concert that KinKi Kids will return to Tokyo Dome for New Years.

By chance I went on Johnny's net today and found the tourdates.

Those include 4 stops, all together they'll have 10 concerts.

And indeed from 30.12.2009 - 01.01.2010 they are in Tokyo Dome which covers the Johnny's Countdown (I guess). :D

So the tour is:
Hokkaido 18. - 19.12.2009
Fukuoka 22. - 23.12.2009
Tokyo 30. - 01.01.2010
Osaka 09. - 11.01.2010

PV was bit on the boring side though, but it's okay. :P

KarenPang 22nd October 2009 09:26 AM

Swan Song , I probably can say that it's like a Glass no Shounen part 2 since both songs , the styles's almost simliar except Swan Song has that cool subtle orchestra feeling which's nice

& haha Eirynne , I prefer Swan Song's PV to Yakusoku's anytime of the day :P

Domoto Koichi's schedule for his Endless Shock butai is up for 2010. It will be split in two, the first run being in February and March while the second run will be in July. It will all take place in the same venue in Tokyo.

It does make me wonder what happens if Kinki Kids ever gets through the full alphabet for their albums. Though I guess by the time they would probably manage that it would be time for them to retire.

LOL at the 2nd paragraph

SMAP's Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, who will starring in an upcoming movie. His co-star is Takeuchi Yoko and the film is titled Boku to Tsuma no 1778 Monotagari, which simply translates to 1778 Stories of Me and My Wife.

The film is based off a true story about a sci-fi author who writes a short story everyday for his wife, who is dying from cancer, after taking a doctor's advice that laughter can help the immune system.

The movie is set to finish filming at the end of December and looks like it will be strongly promoted overseas as a Cannes showing has already been planned for it.

Also from reports from Tsubasa's current concert tour Tsubasa has said something about the future of the Tackey & Tsubasa unit.

According to him he has talked to Tackey about doing something together again, so there is still hope for the unit despite the two mainly doing solo work for some time now

X___________X

I really hope that's true , at least there's still hope that T&T will come back ... eventually .____.

ll moments ll 8th December 2009 10:08 AM

each album has its own theme, so it will be very hard to tell. :laugh
H Album had a very nature-feel to it.

but they are one of few acts where i like their album tracks as much as their single tracks. ever since G Album, i haven't been disappointed (F Album was kinda boring, LOL). they really do a variety of styles. rock, ballads, R&B, dance, pop, etc.

but i'm sure there will be solo tracks. :P

KarenPang 8th December 2009 10:12 AM

oh I see thanks for that :)

so for those albums of the duo that you have listened to , do all of them contain solo tunes ?

how about 1 that doesn't have a solo tune of Koichi & Tsuyoshi at all ? :shrug

ll moments ll 8th December 2009 10:23 AM

i haven't properly listened to A-D, so idk about those but i'm pretty sure every album's had solo tracks. G Album had 4 (2 each). but the last few only had 1 solo from each.

KarenPang 8th December 2009 03:55 PM

seca @ http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ said this to me :

I have been hearing a rumour that Tsubasa may get the chance to release his own solo single, but at least there's some confirmation that T&T hasn't been completely forgotten.

oh wow a Tsubasa solo single ? that will be cool but eh I think he's more known for his dancing as compared to his singing but I welcome it if it's true :P

KinKi Kids' J Album : http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96651

TSUBASA HAS A NICE VOICE. LOL. i think he's a better overall performer than Tackey, but Tackey outshines him in the personality department. i will be excited if Tsubasa releases a single. :D

KarenPang 9th December 2009 03:17 AM

Thanks Eirynne , am downloading J album now :)

Yeah Tsubasa's 1 of the 4 dancing kings in Johnny's but in terms of voice I can't really say

but as long as T&T is not 'dead' yet , I'm happy I guess ?

ll moments ll 9th December 2009 08:49 AM

LOLWTF there's no solos on J Album!!

maybe cuz of their solo activites this year? but it's so odd not hearing any. KINKI KIDS ALBUMS ALWAYS? HAVE SOLOS. man, i wanted more Koichi tunes, lol. they were always the highlight of the album for me. :P

KarenPang 9th December 2009 08:57 AM

oh so there're no solos this time round in J album ? D:

bummer ....

anyway , from the album tracks I heard , it's pretty good . Some are too slow for my liking X____X

but the ones that I like which I haven't heard the last 2 tracks yet , they somehow have an Enka feel towards it which's nice

I'm surprised that Missing is sung in complete English D:

mmm maybe I will pick up J album later today or something haha :P

ll moments ll 9th December 2009 09:07 AM

yeah, J Album is rather...slow. LOL.
i'm thinking it's not one of my favorite KinKi Kids' album, though it's not bad. but i think i'll just stick with G Album, H Album, I Album, & Phi. :yes

it needs more upbeat stuff.

KarenPang 9th December 2009 09:13 AM

LOL :laugh

well I don't know . I did thought of getting the album but mmm now maybe not D:

I also realised quite a lot of the album tracks are quite similiar in sounding when you compare it against the Swan Song's B-sides , especially in the case of Samarekadasu ~another oasis~

If not , I will not get the album & save up & get Yusuke's debut album Ano .. Konnan Dekimashita Kedo. instead xD

ll moments ll 9th December 2009 09:23 AM

yeah, the whole album was a Swan Song/Yakusoku feel to it. which i'm guessing is the theme to the album. :P

it is a let-down after the marvelous "Phi" album. and we had to wait a while since that too. :( oh well, even when they're "bad", KinKi Kids are still light-years better than their peers, imho.

KarenPang 9th December 2009 09:30 AM

oh yeah I had that Swan Song / Yakusoku vibe too when I listened to J album & I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same group of people who wrote/composed the album tracks just like what they did for both Swan Song & Yakusoku

well for me I like both songs so I'm fine with it but yeah some of the album tracks are too slow D:

I haven't heard their previous 10 albums (X____X) so J album is my starting point xD

OMG. excuse my random-ness, but this talk show (the jay lenno show) i'm watching now is showing a clip of SMAPxSMAP! you know, their food show? they actually showed the guys! quentin tarantino (the director) is on this talk show, so he spoke about the time he was with brad pitt on SMAP's show, so they showed a clip of all of them. i screamed a bit when i heard him mention SMAP, haha. :tipsy i'm surpised johnny's allowed them to air this clip. i just saw 2 of the guys, though, but i dunno their names :P they also mentioned how popular they were and stuff. it's just so funny, lol. JE power :tipsy

ll moments ll 10th December 2009 09:05 AM

^ ...oddly enough i've watched that episode of Bistro SMAP!! Brad Pitt & Quentin Tarantino were hilarious in it! and Katori Shingo cosplayed Brad Pitt from Inglorious Basterds. :laugh i think Shingo/Kusanagi's team won over KimuTaku/Goro....if i remember the pairings.

SunshineSlayer 10th December 2009 09:08 AM

^Ohhh I haven't seen that one yet! And I hope the Leno clip gets uploaded, cause that's amazing!

ll moments ll 10th December 2009 09:12 AM

i saw the Bistro SMAP ep on YouTube. though, i dunno if it's been taken down or not yet. i saw it a week or 2 back i think because i was bored.

i love it when they have foreign visitors. Will Smith is my favorite. :P

Mr. Goto 23rd December 2009 04:15 AM

SMAP is going to perform several pieces of music of Michael Jackson, the king of POP died suddenly in June 2009, on The 60th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen/第60回NHK紅白歌合戦. As known, SMAP members met and performed with Michael Jackson on the program 'SMAP X SMAP' of June 5th, 2006.

Nakai Masahiro, the leader of the group, was invited as the only Japanese to attend the world premiere ceremony of the posthumous film 'Michael Jackson THIS IS IT' held in Los Angeles, USA in October. SMAP is said to perform the hit songs of Michael such as 'Thriller' and 'BEAT IT'.

interesting...:eyebrow

SMAP's softbank cm


damn they went all out for just a cm! i want one of those phones

KarenPang 24th December 2009 03:19 PM

I'm not surprised that they treat Nakai like royalty seeing that at 1 time he was the highest tax payer in Japan despite being the lousiest when comes to singing in the group LOL

but hey , look at him haha

ll moments ll 25th December 2009 02:24 AM

...i don't know how i feel about SMAP covering MJ. i mean, i'm happy & all, but i much rather have TOKIO or even Arashi lipsynch MJ since SMAP's vocals are you know, horrendous. LOL. you know it's true! (or maybe other good vocalists there like ayaka can sing...) but i'm sure they'll have a fun time with it. they are huge fans afterall. :)

ll moments ll 1st January 2010 03:04 AM

Ikuta Toma & Uchi Hiroki were special guests (...again, LOL) at JE CDL. Kondo Masahiko & one of Shounentai were there also.

PROS: TAKKITSUBA!! :heart i literally like. screamed a bit. cuz i was like, "OH TSUBASA'S AT TOKYO DOME, WTF" and then then he popped up at Imperial Theater to join Tackey! & TSUBASA'S LOOKIN' GOOD AGAIN, LAWL. i didn't like his rock get-up and his mini-mullet this year. :irked ...& i need to find V6's "Ai Nanda"! it's a good song. :3

CONS: NO NAGASE x KOICHI NEW YEAR'S KISS. SON, I AM DISAPPOINT. :eyes & i wanted more coverage from K8. LOL. NINJA!EITO = PRETTY AWESOME. and there were some microphone difficulties. it toally ruined Kame's "I DON'T WANNA CRY ALONE~" part.

kay, i'm off to watch Kouhaku now. aha.

Beauty4123 1st January 2010 03:10 AM

i approve of the ninja look for kanjani8. that and their classic eito fighter costumes are just love. :luv2

on a random note, i like how jun was with jin again in a few scenes. just seeing those 2 together makes me laugh :laugh and aiba was cute with junno, too!

KarenPang 1st January 2010 10:53 AM

good lord , SMAP's Takuya was just D: D: D: D: in Kouhaku

I still can't believe he's the only one in the group that's married but he still looks divine

DAMNNNNNNN @_@ :laugh

btw happy 31st birthday to KinKi Kids's blockhead Koichi

ll moments ll 2nd January 2010 05:41 AM

i actually liked SMAP's tribute to MJ. it was nicely made! i loved KimuTaku & Nakai's parts the most. though.......i will admit when KimuTaku first came out, i joked to myself "LOL JIN IS THAT YOU". :laugh i usually associate fedoras w/ Jin. >_>;;

& Nagase admitted to his relationship with Aibu Saki. :P

*gossip girl mode on* really? Finally XDD *gossip girl mode off*
I just started downloading Kouhaku... It will be a very long DL XD
Can't wait to see all performances in good quality

Mai82Go 3rd January 2010 01:36 AM

Concerning the Countdown. Why is Tackey always in that theatre? (well the last 2 or 3 CD's anyway) And is doing crazy stage plays with old people? I don't see the appeal and all that flying....Poor Tsubasa was forced to go there, too. And I feel sorry for all those juniors who probably would have preferred to be at the Dome. And I was waiting for him to sing Hikari Hitotsu, but he didn't. :( Ai Kakumei is just so weird. I always feel like laughing when he says "Boy meets Girl" :) What are you guys thinking, will there be more T&T action next year, or is it down to Tackey alone, once again?

Beauty4123 3rd January 2010 01:46 AM

i get amusement out of ai kakumei. i just love when tackey sings it or whenever i hear it. i actually didn't love it that much until now. the JE couuntdown made me love tackey again :P he's so cute. i hope he'll have a new single soon. or drama. or album. anything's fine with me :D

Mai82Go 3rd January 2010 01:52 AM

^The lyrics for Ai Kakumei are so cheesy. I just have to laugh when I hear him talk in the beginning in that serious voice. Well most Johnnys lyrics are cheesy and a little stupid, *lol*. I think Tackey is really attractive, but he's not working it right. Like with these stage plays. Who wants to see him with some grandma? I just don't get it.

KarenPang 3rd January 2010 04:31 AM

haha Ai Kakumei is just o_O on every single level & the lyrics are not helping either :no :no

I definitely was hoping he would have done Hikari Hitotsu at the countdown but oh well T_T

Beauty4123 3rd January 2010 04:40 AM

at least he sang sha la la. that made up for hikari hitotsu for me :laugh

KarenPang 3rd January 2010 04:43 AM

he should have done Mugen no Hane as that features the vocals of his juniors ie. A.B.C.Z & Kis My Ft 2 as I think that's a great song

& Hazuki twittered a while back ago that Kis My Ft 2 is supposedly going to debut this year :thud

omg I hope it's true @_@ as it's really long overdue for them to debut ;___ ; & so's other bands like A.B.C.Z !

Kis My Ft 2's a mini version of KAT-TUN & Fujigaya rocks while Senga's just plain girly/silly xD

ll moments ll 4th January 2010 07:08 AM

it seems to me like Tackey is interested in history...specifically with ancient Japanese history, but he had a stageplay dedicated to his own life's history as well. & he did do Yoshitsune, a taiga (those old historical) j-drama too. i don't really see a problem with it if he's really into that type of stuff. sure, as a fan, i don't relate to it. as long as he's happy. :)

& i don't think those Juniors seem like they were sad that they weren't at Tokyo Dome. Tackey's a really well-respected sempai in the Johnny's Junior realm. i'm sure they were glad to be with him.

as for Tackey & Tsubasa, i think solos will be the main focus for a good part of this year. but Tsubasa has said there will be T&T activity, but we just have to wait (more).

KarenPang 6th January 2010 10:19 AM

I'm curious. As far as Solo Songs go, I prefer Tackey's solos. But maybe that will change now.

You cannot tell their voices apart? Tackeys voice is higher than Tsubasas. :D

ll moments ll 7th January 2010 03:31 AM

Tackey's voice is more nasally! it kinda reminds me of Domoto Koichi's voice, but...different, i guess. LOL. Tsubasa's voice is much smoother, easier to get into. he's the better singer by far in T&T, imho. anyway, very excited for Tsubasa! :D

February is one exciting month for me with flumpool, KAT-TUN, & now Tsubasa!

Mai82Go 21st January 2010 09:02 AM

^Looking good Tsubasa.

That's mean, about the release date. Kind of confirms that they don't really care about Tsubasa. Or maybe it has to do something with the record company? Tsubasa is at avex while HSJ are probably under a Johnnys Label?

that's quite possible

I'm actually surprised that J Storm choose to put against avex in here , this's going to be an internal fight man

someone should slap whoever choose to do that with both artistes T_T

ll moments ll 22nd January 2010 03:05 AM

i don't think it matters who distributes the CD (the record label), but Johnny's & Associates (their management) controls when the stuff gets released. they usually don't pitch 2 singles (or 2 albums or 2 DVDs) from different groups against each other. they love having their idols getting that #1 spot, LOL.

it will be interesting, i guess. :3
