The FIRST OFFICIAL Acid Black Cherry THREAD

[KarenPang]

CD + DVD LE of Chou is being sold at 30% off the usual price

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-32189

I can never get enough of Chou , be it the song or the PV

it's kinda cool for yasu to sing Chou from a girl's perspective , just like Black Cherry 8D

[Chibi-Chan]

^ah, I want it!

[KarenPang]

Have you watched the special edit versions of yasu's PVs yet ? :O

I already have watched the ones from BLACK LIST & Q.E.D. but not for 2012 . I definitely would wanna do it soon

The special edit versions of Chou & Yes doesn't look to be very erm interesting ? But the rest which have otaku dressed up yasu ...

[KarenPang]

omg the special edit versions of the 2012's PVs are epic & full of win

seeing yasu & co. dressed up in otaku outfits in 4 outta the 7 PVs made me laugh so bad & it's quite amusing to see yasu wear the same girlie outfit in the special edit for the Re:birth PV that he also wore in 20+∞Century Boys & also in the PVs for Nemuri Hime & Yasashii Uso too

Shoujo no Inori III is supposed to be a really dark PV but the special edit , is just so XD XD XD , I can't take this seriously lmao

I only find the special edit versions of Chou & Yes so-so for my liking but wouldn't deny that both songs are still amazing til now *__*

[Chibi-Chan]

^I hadn't time yet, but when I finish my work for university today I sure will!

[KarenPang]

the special edit version PVs are so funny , I couldn't stop laughing when I watched them yesterday xD

watch out for otaku yasu & co. in the following xD

- Shoujo no Inori III
- Pistol
- Shangrila
- CRISIS

The alternate version for Shoujo no Inori III is hilarious as the original version is dark so this's a bit hard for me to take it seriously xD xD , especially the ending

And oh watch out for yasuko in the special edit version of Re:birth which's yasu's female alter ego xD

he (or is it she ?) could also be seen in 20+∞Century Boys & also in the special edit versions for Nemuri Hime & Yasashii Uso xD

Seriously otaku Jun-Ji is epic & full of win xD xD xD

[Chibi-Chan]

^watched them and love them! otaku yasu is the best! xD

[KarenPang]

ahahahaha yeah otaku yasu & co. are hilarious xD xD xD

I couldn't take the special edit ver of Shoujo no Inori III seriously but the last part where the girl slapped otaku yasu is epic LOL

Was hoping for something even more ahem up there for the special edit version of Chou :x but I still like it despite it being PG rated xD

^looks good!^^

By the way, did you read the Q.E.D. story yet?

[KarenPang]

no I haven't read the story behind Q.E.D. yet but I really should do that soon :3

Anyway I received an ABC postcard from a friend today so I got it scanned



So this postcard make it the 2nd ABC postcard that I have <3

[Yoake]

Finally, I get some spare time to post here.

First of all, thanks for the scan Karen. Yasu looks so great on it!

2012 is a great album. It's my favourite ABC album. However I think the singles were better then the new song. For the new ones, my favourite songs are doomsday clock, Fallin' Angel & Sono hi ga Kuru Made!

it's tough having 7 singles in an album & also for the 6 new songs to stack up against them :x

But I feel the new songs did a pretty good job & I like them so much more than the album tracks in BLACK LIST & also Q.E.D. :3

Ah you don't like So... goodnight , Aurore ? o_o

xD the friend that I know , man she's a CRAZY ABC fan

so much so that she accidentally bought the wrong edition of Songs magazine . yasu appeared in the April edition but my friend bought the March edition after she saw A.B.C.Z that's featured in it & she thought it's actually ABC =_= xD

Anyway congrats yasu , avex Taiwan has made your very 1st Taiwan press release for 『2012』 =DDD

http://www.avex.com.tw/Artist/artist...AVJCD10505%2FA

Prior to this , avex Taiwan only released digital releases of ABC's past singles & albums but not this time for 『2012』 with 『2012』 getting a physical release in Taiwan next Fri
