The Official Superfly Thread!

I hope she releases some new music soon!

And Superfly is so underrated in this forum

[rookies]

^ I agree, she is so underrated on AHS.

She had the best selling female solo studio album in last year's (2009) year-end Oricon Albums Chart.

I haven't heard the album yet, hehe, I'm going to get around to it one day I guess.

[SunshineSlayer]

^ Yeah, I agree. Or I should say underrated in general among foreign jpop fans; maybe because she doesn't have the type of image that many people here seem attracted to. But in terms of music and vocals she has been the best female artist of the last two years imo. She's got great stage presence too.

So do I! I really can't wait for her next album.

[TheBaronAndAyu]

feel kinda lame replying to myself but whatever.

Superfly's released some more music! There's a couple of songs so I'll go though them each:

Tamashii Revolution (タマシイレボリューション) - Used as World Cup theme song in Japan. listen here

Roll Over the Rainbow - listen here

Free Planet - Listen here

Wildflower - being used as theme song for a dorama called "GOLD"

[Nackar_91]

Nice! It's been over half a year since she released anything at all, so this is good to hear ^^. I knew about Tamashii Revolution since I saw at no. 1 on the iTunes chart but I didn;t know about the others, thanks!

Think they will be released on one maxi single? Or just seperately?

I LOVE Free Planet! It has a lot of power. Also, LOL @ that Roll over the Rainbow clip. "LOOOLLL OVAAAA ZA LAYNBOW!"

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Oh I had heard the song but I didn't know it was the theme song to the World Cup... I don't really like it though. :[

[NintendoHTF1242]

So I was on J-PopStop! and saw their new single release. LOL at the 2nd disk having 15 tracks. This is no way a single. It just doesn't work. XD

Not "their", "her". It's just the female vocalist now ; )

But that release it's crazy XD. They want to make it a 'single with bonus cover tracks' but honestly, it's just a cover album with 4 original songs XDXD

I want it though. I NEED IT.

[NintendoHTF1242]

^ Oh yeah I forgot. But yeah I sort of like Superfly (even though I've only listened to Alright!! xD)

Yeah the single release is just funny. It shouldn't be labeled as a single! Don't get why singers these days in Japan are releasing such huge singles! First EXILE and now Superfly.

[Meat Pao]

LOL it's a single? I actually didn't know I thought it was an album.

[TheBaronAndAyu]

Yup, it's a single. From what I've gathered, it's called "Wildflower & Cover Songs:Complete Best 'TRACK 3'". On Disc 1 all the new songs (Tamashii Revolution, Roll Over the Rainbow, Free Planet and Wildflower) from this year. Disk 2 is a compilation of all the covers from her previous singles, as well as 3 new ones. I think there's also a Disk 3 which has an acoustic version of one of the new covers.
I guess you could call it a mini album of sorts.

More info and full track list here

Also, it seems that Superfly updated her website to a more stylish and profesional theme. Nice.

"タマシイレボリューション" PV is :

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Most expensive single ever lol...

[Nackar_91]

Thanks for posting these videos, kakumei.

And yeah, haha, most expensive single ever, but totally worth it for me < 3. Love her covers.

[TheBaronAndAyu]

Finally someone posted ^^

kakumei@ Darn, you beat me to it.

....Buuuuuuuut you forgot the Wildflower PV.
Thanks though for posting those links - This album's PVs are shaping up to be great!

And yeah, this is an expensive "single" but you are getting about 19 songs (20if you count Disk 3) altogether. I'm not sure whether to get this or wait for her album (Which I expect to be released around November.)

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I wonder if she'll add the 4 songs from his release plus Dancing on the Fire on the new album... or maybe just Dancing, Tamashii (it's done pretty well digitally it seems) + Wildflower and the A-side of an upcoming single? We'll have to wait and see but it'd be nice to know now .__.

[NekoF4]

I really like Superfly , I rememebr when the BOSS jdrama theme song was out I would listen to it aloooooot!!! & then I got the following album and was just listening to it for days

Well, it's totally worth it for me, since I loved all of the covers she's done so far. Some even more than the originals XD

[Meat Pao]

Superfly is #2 on the NINKI charts:

58.50
Ｓｕｐｅｒｆｌｙ
Ｗｉｌｄｆｌｏｗｅｒ　＆　Ｃｏｖｅｒ　Ｓｏｎｇｓ：Ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅ　Ｂｅｓｔ‘ＴＲＡＣＫ ３’

But it appeared on the album NINKI so I guess it will be charting as an album
