The "What's on your Mind" Thread ~Asian Music Version~ II

[KarenPang]

Ripping and converting PVs of GIRL NEXT DOOR , Matsushita Yuya & ON/OFF and putting them in my 2 portable hard disks made me realised just how much I loved their music

It's a huge pity that GIRL NEXT DOOR & ON/OFF have since disbanded and I still regret not going to Japan to watch GIRL NEXT DOOR perform at least once , especially since I supported them from their debut single until now

Also no offence to X4 but I really hope Matsushita Yuya can go back to release solo music again as what he did with Jin Nakamura was still so awesome

Lastly , I wonder why avex Taiwan kept pushing back the release of V6's THE ONES album and now the album supposedly wouldn't be out til next month ? o_O

If I know it takes this long , I would have told my sister to buy THE ONES for me 2 weeks ago when she went back Tokyo & Yokohama -_-

BREAKERZ's X covers & group promo picture

Wow just wow . AKIHIDE looks so much younger & so good after he cut his hair , DAIGO is forever cursed by photoshop as always , LOL

[KarenPang]

Suga Shikao is coming to perform here & Taiwan end of 2017 as part of his 1st Asian tour in celebrating his 20th anniversary

That's so so cool . I do listen to his music but I don't think I will attend the concert :x

Taichi Mukai is releasing his first full album called 'Blue' on 29th November!
Looking forward!

[Yoake]

^I'm waiting for this too. I hope it'll have some gems as on his mini-album.

ONE OK ROCK is heading back to perform here next Jan & it will be at an Arena sized place they'll be playing at

The couple of times they came here to perform , it was all outdoor live house ish but not this time round

Good for OOR fans I guess & they really love touring a LOT . Quite happy for TAKA as it's hard to believe he used to be in NEWS but what he has accomplished with OOR it's a lot more than if he was still a Johnny

Also it's good to see that this year , quite a lot of different established Japanese artistes came/coming here to perform (some for the 1st time) such as

- LUNA SEA's SUGIZO & INORAN
- Yuzu
- Suga Shikao

And today Do As Infinity performed for the 1st time here & tomorrow will be The Gospellers

I'm still hoping SPYAIR will eventually come here and perform =(

Just read that °C-ute are disbanding this year!
And Berryz Kobo are on hiatus.
I generally don't like idol groups, but I adore a bunch of songs from those two. So I am a bit sad now.

[Corvina]

I'm pretty baffled.
Juju's new single only sold 3k in its first week physically.
Digitally it's doing fine.

Considering she's one of the popular female artists nowadays, that's really low.
Never checked her single sales before. They never were strong, but 3k is really low.
Her albums sell really well. How curious.

[Corvina]

Olivia just posted that she's working on a new album!
And yes, she said it word for word like that!

[KarenPang]

This happened on last night's live broadcast of CDTV Special! Halloween Ongaku-sai 2017





You know how some guys look so pretty when they're in drag ? Kisumai is NOT in that category for sure , LOL

Although that said I'm so jealous of Yokoo & Tamamori's legs D: xD

[Corvina]

Uh, Taichi Mukais's new song 'Freer' from his upcoming album is the tie-in song for the new Galaxxy Note 8 CM.

I love what I can hear so far!

[KarenPang]

This year's HALLOWEEN PARTY 2017 has some of the funniest costumes I've seen (Kishidan as SMAP , FLOW as Naruto x5 xD)

Can't wait to see even more tomorrow , saving the best for last perhaps ?

[KarenPang]

The fact that BREAKERZ , Hey ! Say ! JUMP , KinKi Kids and Tackey & Tsubasa celebrate their respective 10th , 15th & 20th anniversaries this year , it's quite surreal

And out of the 4 , it's sad that while Tackey & Tsubasa should have done something to celebrate their 15th anniversary , they've gone on hiatus =(

I always wonder why Tackey & Tsubasa never was able to reach almost the same level if not on par status as what KinKi Kids achieved which's so unfortunate

That said Johnnys really know how to go all out cos KinKi Kids has been spoiling their fans silly this year with so many new releases to commemorate their 20th anniversary & my poor friend on 1 hand complains while on the other she loves it haha

[Corvina]

Kira is releasing a new digital single called 'Macaron' on 22nd November! Excited!

[KarenPang]

SPYAIR will be performing for the 1st time in Hong Kong & China next month

Ugh why you guys can't come here to perform , so close yet so far D: D: D:

[KarenPang]

My sister said that she might be flying back to Japan 4-5 times next year

I don't know how to react when she told me that , lmao

[KarenPang]

B'z's Dinosaur PV is amazing . 1 of the best PVs I've seen of them & let alone in 2017

It's just madness over the top with CG overdose . It's a pity the PV is not included in their upcoming new album :x

Also , happy 10th anniversary to Hey ! Say ! JUMP ! To think it felt like yesterday when I 1st saw them in Shounen Club and that was way before they , Kisumai & A.B.C-Z made their official music debuts

Time flies when you're having fun in the Johnnys' fandom x)

Really hoping Kouhaku will invite HSJ to perform for the 1st time & if KinKi Kids get invited too , it will be doubly awesome as they celebrate their 20th anniversary this year <3

[Corvina]

Chanmina's new album is pretty awesome!
Even though it's short with just 8 songs.

[KarenPang]

Downloaded a lot of L'Arc~en~Ciel & GLAY PVs yesterday and today

L'Arc~en~Ciel old PVs made me realised how great their music still is . A bit sad that they ain't active as much as before D:

Also so awesome for Hey ! Say ! JUMP to finally get invited to perform on Kouhaku for the 1st time . Would have been great if KinKi Kids gets invited again but they will be in Osaka on the last day of 2017 & 1st day of 2018 x) which my friend will be going as always lmao

Lastly , Yuzu is performing here again tomorrow so welcome back guys !

lol the 1 must thing every Japanese artiste must do when they come here xD aside from seeing the beautiful Marina Bay Sands skyline

Wonder if Suga Shikao will do the same thing next month , haha

[KarenPang]

Shuuji to Akirai are reuniting again ! And this time round they will perform their evergreen classic Seishun Amigo this coming Tue with Hey ! Say ! JUMP on Best Artist 2017

Sooo excited , Seishun Amigo is still so popular after all these years & it's easy to see why
