Okay, double post cos I really want all real information on the 1st post.

I know there's a Hata thread lurking around, but rarely anyone posts there, and I don't see the thread as complete (sorry...), so I've asked permission from the mods to make a brand new thread, in my own way (which I hope is good! ^^), so that more people will be interested in Hata Motohiro.

On other news:

PV of Halation is out!!!

And...

"In April (2008), Hata announced that he got married. He declined to say who his wife is, including her name, age and occupation, but it is stated that she’s not pregnant. Congrats!!"

Hata also has a "new" song called Circles for the 20th Anniversary of an entertainment show (sorry I'll check more of it when I come back from school) on SS TV.

A live of it:

NintendoHTF1242 · #6 29th July 2009, 06:11 AM

Do you have a download link to his ALRIGHT album? I wanna hear an album in full by him. He has a nice voice.

waterballoon · #7 29th July 2009, 07:29 AM

I'll upload a link later on in the day.

cos I'm not very good with uploading stuff lol XD

waterballoon · #8 30th July 2009, 02:12 PM

Don't let the thread for a great singer dieeeeeeeeee~

Some stuff I got from JPM (not exactly new... but eh)

Apparently all of Hata's DVDs are region-free so if anyone wants to buy them then go ahead!

@Nintentdo: Sorry I have zipped ALRIGHT but I couldn't upload it to Mediafire... there's always an error message and I really don't know what to do now!

NintendoHTF1242 · #9 31st July 2009, 05:44 AM

^ oh that's okay xD If you could upload to MegaUpload that's fine too. But it's okay if you can't upload it.

waterballoon · #10 31st July 2009, 08:27 AM

I'll try my best!!! It's a really good album and it's only right that you get to hear it!

AyuGAME · #11 31st July 2009, 09:54 AM

waterballoon · #12 31st July 2009, 12:09 PM

Kimi, Meguru, Boku!

Oh there were some updates... but I posted them all at JPM and forgot about this...

NINKI Index
Hata was at #7 for the NINKI index for the release of the week of August 12th (remember the one that Ayu got #1 for)... and his index was 27.40... out of 400 people... but NINKI is only a prediction so it doesn't really mean anything!

TV Lives
Hata will also be on MUSIC JAPAN on August 9th... with Ayu I think. He will also be on MUSIC FAIR on August 22nd, which Ayu is in as well.

First press edition also contains a photo book.

EDIT: First press also contains an exclusive DVD jacket, so there's a chance the fugly cover doesn't have to be seen! (thanks to aya.sakura @ JPM for this news)

Cover:

Hmm the cover kinda sucks imo (lol), but I really like the track list! All the songs are so good!

Credits for DVD: Deep_River @ JPM (is it the same guy aka xheartstation we have here at AHS?)

Also some discussion I had over at JPM... Halation's gonna have a lot of competition... I'm kinda worried.

Threats:
Ayu
GACKT
Morning Musume
Crystal Kay
B'z (from the previous week)

These are the ones I can remember... I hope he does well though. His last 2 singles have been on the top 10... so hope everything goes well!

NintendoHTF1242 · #18 8th August 2009, 06:30 AM

Darn, somebody posted a link in a REQ topic that had his discography in 320 kps. But all I got was a 404. Arghhhh xD

waterballoon · #19 8th August 2009, 06:47 PM

^ I know... I tried to request once and no one bothered, and then JPM doesn't allow requesting, or so it seems...

I download my Hata stuff from eMule... maybe you should try it too!

eMule looks confusing xD But I think I'll give it a try later. How safe is it? Like, have you had any problems concerning viruses or anything?
