Asian music "what's on your mind" thread III

[Bigtop]

This thread needs a new one, apparently. First new thread...in over five years. Either time has gone so fast since the last one was first created, or things have gone so slow to fill up to 500 posts...

Anyways, today is April 8th, and it's DAIGO's 40th birthday (Karen, I know you've already heard about it), ex-AKB48's Takamina's (Minami Takahashi) 27th birthday, and, obviously, since this is the Ayumi Hamasaki forum, it's Ayu's 20th anniversary since her debut.

But things have been a little bit too stale, been hearing too many of "been there, done that" kind of experiences, even with all the singings. I mean, when will the next breakout star pop up - especially a soloist at a time where we're way too filled with groups such as Johnny's and AKB/Nogizaka? If that breakout star does come, I hope he/she isn't part of Sony!

Anyways, I'm not enthused at this:



What in the world is this? This is the cover of miwa's upcoming new single "Update" - and I'm not liking this cover! I know she's wearing a blue bob wig, but still - what is wrong with this cover???

(To clarify, that's the CD+DVD limited edition cover. There's also the regular edition cover which I'm liking a little bit more, but there's that 'blue wig girl' behind the miwa I'm familiar of.

Other covers can be found here:
