I've heard of them before. I tried one of their PV's in the past, but I didn't really seem to like it. I forgot which one it was.

Their band name caught my attention because it sounded so funny, lol. I was wondering how they came up with it, cus it sounds interesting, hehe.

I'm going to give their PV's a try! ^^

emi♡ · #3 26th June 2009, 08:08 AM

cool someone made a thread.

They actually have some good music...I'm not too into it because it's not really my sound...but people who are, love them, and they're gaining a lot of recognition I think...

I want them to make it big. They're a good band.

KarenPang · #4 26th June 2009, 08:43 AM

Lisa Lisa Lisa , shakes head lmao

I'm going to give their stuff a listen since you insisted me to do so

EDIT #1 - I gave their 2nd single butterfly swimmer a listen earlier on , I mean PV wise because Zemus uploaded it - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91501

they sound pretty good & I like the various mix up / mashes of sounds going on in their sound cos you never know what to expect

1 moment it's fast & sad & then BANG , it's slow & vice versa

I'm listening to flat now , it's pretty nice

I probably be following their material from today onwards

& lead singer Yumi's cute haha

you can download scans of their debut single futuristic imagination via my jpop scans thread & it's 1st press somemore

EDIT #2 - Lisa , can you upload the PV of their debut single futuristic imagination please ? I want to see it thanks

Mirai Noah · #5 26th June 2009, 03:50 PM

I really love Futuristic Imagination!

elepop · #6 26th June 2009, 03:55 PM

OMG. school food punishment fans in AHS? Seriously? In the K-Rock Thread, in the first page, I talked about them and put a youtube video but for the first few pages (meaning a lot), nobody replied about them so I figured that nobody was interested in them. XD Well, I'm glad to see them getting more love. I've been listening to their music for a few months now and I love them. I have their whole discography if anybody want it.

Beauty4123 · #7 26th June 2009, 04:54 PM

glad to see some posts in there!

karen, zemus has already uploaded the PV in the downloads section

Yum!Fruit_Salad! · #8 27th June 2009, 01:57 AM

I see Lisa you love school food a lot to make a thread.

Already playing butterfly swimmer rip out like I did for futuristic imagination. Threw me a bit when the beginning was slow because it didn't sound like that in the CM then wham, it picks up <3.

sfp's unique , their sound reminded me of some of the local Eng bands that I used to support ie. indie , electronica which's nice

~Amy~ · #10 27th June 2009, 07:05 AM

lol I just became a fan today. I love their music! ^_^

TofuBunny · #11 27th June 2009, 06:01 PM

Yay, a School Food Punishment thread !
I tried their music like, a month ago .. I only have their first mini album in my iPod since it's already over-flowing with new artists and bands ..

I find their music very relaxing ~

KarenPang · #12 28th June 2009, 05:42 AM

has the single cover for butterfly swimmer been released already , Lisa ?

& how's sfp's chart position/ranking like ?

Beauty4123 · #13 28th June 2009, 04:32 PM

i don't think the cover is out yet. and the only thing i know about their charting is that "futuristic imagination" was at #28 on the first day. or i think that was the weekly ranking, i'm not sure

actually, i can check right now and find out for sure.

edit: "futuristic imagination" was at #28 on the first day, and this is the first week sales:

thanks Lisa

their debut single should have charted higher than #35 imo but oh well T_T

Yum!Fruit_Salad! · #15 29th June 2009, 05:17 AM

Better than some of debut single charts I've seen. Their burgeoning fanbase is only gonna help.

I just hope butterfly swimmer will chart/fare much better in time to come

it's about AHS knows about them , they deserve to hog the limelight as their sound's really unique & the frontwoman's quite hot for that matter haha

ll moments ll · #17 30th June 2009, 01:41 AM

....someone told me to listen to this group, so i did. LOL.

omg, they really have a unique sound! i especially love "futuristic imagination"! the lead singer kinda reminds me of Shiina Ringo, looks-wise...kinda sorta.

and they have really interesting PVs. i'm watching the one for "Pool" right now.

KarenPang · #18 30th June 2009, 01:45 AM

man wish I have that kinda influencing power like Lisa *grumbles & start to plug ON / OFF right now xD xD

futuristic imagination is nice but I like the B-side flat equally as much as the A-side

SOMEONE?!

i never would have thought there'd be a shiina ringo comparison, but i like yumi much better, haha.

i told you guys they were a great band!

elepop · #20 30th June 2009, 04:30 PM

I read somewhere that Yumi is a big Shiina Ringo fan, maybe that's why?

Her singing technique sounds a but like Shiina too. But her voice is way better IMO.
