New Yup'in. She's channeling her inner Hikki: A new song by boysband BE:FIRST (from SKY-HI's label): A new version of MONDO GROSSO's 'Everything Needs Love' feat. BoA from his new greatest hits album: This week also marks the 20th anniversary of this bop:
Did not realise it was the 20th anniversary of Stop! In The Name of Love - was actually listening to this song today!
It's actually November 14, but it's worthy to be celebrated all week. I wish I already was a globe-fan back in 2001/2002. To experience these releases in less than a year: - Single: try this shoot - Single: Stop! In the Name of Love - Single: genesis of next - Single: Many Classic Moments - Album: Lights - Single: OVER THE RAINBOW / INSPIRED FROM RED & BLUE - Album: Lights2 Epic flawless era.
I've noticed that NiziU manage to release only bops somehow. Definitely should check them out more closely.
H!P coming for those YouTubecore streams! Disclaimer: This post is a fallacy as H!P is nowhere to be streamed.
No tracks from WORLD OF FANTASY have even been previewed, but the whole thing will be available on 11/20!
Is there any good website where I could copy from romanized titles of the songs? I bought some Perfume and Utada albums a few weeks ago and having song titles in Japanese is a little bit overwhelming for me. Thanks.
Today, AAA finally has started their 'AAA DOME TOUR 15th ANNIVERSARY -thanx AAA lot-'. It's their last activity as a group (of 5 members). I'm a little bit sad but hopeful though that in a few years maybe they will return as a group. SKY-HI calls it hiatus, so fingers crossed. There just aren't that many mixed j-pop (or k-pop) groups of their caliber. This was the setlist apparently. 01. One Night Animal 02. MAGIC 03. BAD LOVE 04. Medley: ①Heart and Soul ②No cry No more ③ Break Down ④ハレルヤ ⑤ Friday Party ⑥ BLOOD on FIRE 05. LIFE 06. Medley: ①逢いたい理由 ② HORIZON ③ NEW 07. Flavor of Kiss 08. 唇からロマンチカ 09. Medley: ①風に薫る夏の記憶 ②僕の憂鬱と不機嫌な彼女 10. Miss You 11. 旅ダチノウタ 12. 恋音と雨空 13. Eighth Wonder 14. Next Stage 15. CALL 16. GAME OVER ? 17. DEJAVU 18. さよならの前に ☆Encore 19. No Way Back 20. Medley: ①Wake Up! ② Q ③ Perfect ④ ミカンセイ 21. 777 ~We can sing a song!~ 22. PARTY IT UP 23. ハリケーン・リリ,ボストン・マリ 24. Winter lander!! 25. WAY OF GLORY I love how packed and balanced it is. It's a testimony to their success and longevity that they had to add 4 medleys to cover everything. Every album is represented and it'll be interesting to hear how they distributed the verses/choruses now that Urata isn't part of AAA anymore. Especially in the older tracks Urata was one of the main vocals. Can't wait for the inevitable bluray-release next year. I only would've added 'Niji'.

The YouTube algorithm hitting the spot today - Also, why did I have no idea about THE FIRST TAKE?????
Speaking of The First Take after watching Mika's performances I discovered Glay had done Winter, Again which is one of my fave Winter songs: Hyde also released the video for his new single Final Piece today which is stunning: I'm so happy to hear he's working on a Roentgen 2 as the original is one of my favourite albums of all time.
