Cool that you made the Hiroshi Tamaki thread, Foxxy.

Anyways, I heard the Slow Time single, it's okay I guess.

Thought his comeback single could have been better. I love the b-side song though, it really has this Tackey & Tsubasa vibe to it. o_O

[rookies]

I really like listening to the "Bridge" album, I'm not sure how this new album

[AyuGAME]

i can't give you a direct link...but you can find it there...
well..this album is so-so for me...absolutely her weakest album to date

[rookies]

^ Ok, thanks for the link, I will check it out!

[rookies]

The OS versions of "SLOW TIME" (single) and the "TIMES..." (album) are now available on HMV HK and YesAsia. I'm not going to post the links to YesAsia, so just search for "Hiroshi Tamaki", and you'll find the OS versions easily, cus it says Hong Kong Version in brackets in the totle.

But I will post the links to where to buy for HMV HK since they don't specify directly which version they are selling, and also don't include a cd cover art pic. You have to look at the catalogue # in order to see whether it is Japan version or OS version.

sorry for triple post, (but it has been one month ago since the post I made above) here's a new tokyograph article about Hiroshi falling in love:

Hiroshi Tamaki, Yuriko Yoshitaka find love

Last season's drama series "Love Shuffle" (TBS) revolved around a group of men and women mixing and matching their relationships in an attempt to find their right mates. The experiment apparently worked out for two of the show's stars: Hiroshi Tamaki (29) and Yuriko Yoshitaka (20), who are said to now be seriously dating.

In "Love Shuffle," Tamaki played a manager at an IT company who was on the fast track due to his engagement to the president's daughter. Yoshitaka, on the other hand, played an art student undergoing psychiatric counseling. Although their characters did not end up together, the two actors hit it off and continued their dates off-screen.

Sources said that the two got along well during the show's filming, and they really started seeing each other after the series ended in March.

Tamaki's acting career has been very busy lately, particularly with starring roles in movies such as "Manatsu no Orion," "MW," and the upcoming "Nodame Cantabile" movies. Meanwhile, Yoshitaka has been establishing herself as a rising star. She received multiple Best New Actress awards for her role in last year's "Snakes and Earrings," in which she appeared nude.

[AyuGAME]

yeah..i need update about him...
i listen to his song casually, i think his music is very relaxing..

[rookies]

He released a new album titled "Start" on June 22nd, 2011. The album can be downloaded in the downloads section.

Also, he has switched over to Universal Music Japan. I wonder why he changed labels.

[terra]

I didn't know we have a Hiroshi Tamaki thread!
I love SLOW TIME single and Yakusoku so much.
tbh I didn't really enjoy him as a whole but once he gets into parts I love, it turned very good

[AyuGAME]

i don't realize that he moved to universal, not with avex anymore...
i hope his stuff will still have overseas version...i want to buy his album

[rookies]

@ terra: Yeah, we had this thread since 2 years ago I think. I put a tag in this thread, so hopefully it is easier to find this thread.

@ AyuGame: There is an os version for the Start album. But it was made only in a CD+DVD version. (I think?)

The only place I've found the os version is at HMV HK:
