Lol, meant Towa Tei. Had to go back and check.

Never been fan of both of their works.

Also, Tricot are touring in UK, but aren't coming to Birmingham and I am thinking of seeing them all the way in Leicester :/
God knows why they chose that town over Brum....


EDIT: Have to add, also listening to this new J-pop artist called Seira Karyia, and I am digging her two EPs, especially Nobi Nobi No Style. funnily enough, she worked and her music is being done by Tofubeat, and I don't dislike it.

anyone else had a listen?

Find some venue to book em

 

[faridmon]

Find some venue to book em

Haha
Now that is an idea. Could work since I know few people in various venues. Wish I had an inkling of initiative :/

 

[jbug617]

Kat-tun to go on temporary hiatus after the Tokyo Dome show May 1st.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Are there details about Perfume's stream tomorrow? that is happening right? I didn't imagine that announcement of an announcement?

I hope so! I think it was you that said they would announce it tomorrow lol.

 

[Slowdive]

Yes, it's on 8-9pm Japan time, PTA members only. On Perfume Locks! on Monday they're going to announce more details.

Yeah it was haha, then I started second guessing myself when I saw no follow up information.

Ok phew, I didn't get PTA this year, so if anyone has the password.........

Expecting a trailer tomorrow or Monday for a PV.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Ayeeee

 

[llehuty]

Perfume album in less than 2 months!!!

And Japanese tour + American tour
RIP Europe.

 

[Peru]

Yessss

Nooo at no Europe

 

[SweetDonuts]

Why no London ??????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Kurita]

No Europe :'(
New album yaaaay

14 songs, so how many new songs? We already have Sweet Refrain, Pick me up, Relax in the City, Hold Your Hand, Cling Cling I guess. Pretty sure they'll include B-sides.
Half old half new I guess?

 

[llehuty]

Apparently PV of the single "Flash" will be released "soon".

 

[Slowdive]

Yesss. No Europe though.

 

[llehuty]

It just hit me that I'm going to be in Japan in June. I need to do research on the buying tickets thing from abroad.

No Europe is a complete dick move, though.

Haha same, I was thinking "Ugh no Paris show..." but I'll be in Japan for a while starting August so I'll try to see them there!

The theme of the new song is "Martial Art" #PTATV

Ready for some cool choreo!

 

[SweetDonuts]

Album details are up on the PTA site in 40 minutes, I think.

In the mean time, I need to write a letter of complain @ amuse for no European tour, makes no sense considering the amount of fans they have here.

 

[Peru]

Well they've had European and US tours separately before so maybe we'll get a European one later. Not like they'll come to my country anyway. Seen them three times but it's been a couple of years since last time.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If they want to do a full on American Tour, it makes sense announce it as a separate thing, since it's a big deal.

yeah, great, just slip that turd in right at the end

 

[llehuty]

Yessssss Story!!!

And I'm quite pleased with the selection of tracks. I wish it had Display with album mix treatment, that song had so much potential.

But Story!!! Need to see it live.

 

[Kansoku]

Not too hot on the B-Sides choice =/

Also let's hope the album version make Cling Cling and STAR TRAIN more interesting.

it's a total crapshoot when it comes to Nakata, for every good album version there's a corresponding crap one. watch him just make STAR TRAIN 7 minutes long and somehow crappier

I think she emoted more in that video than in all of the last two years

 

[SweetDonuts]

I live for Nocchi's reactions. Also really liking the hair trim

 

[Tain]

hold your hand

no display album mix

I'm so excited tho

 

[neshcom]

Nakata's got a really bad percentage for album mixes being good or no. I'd say Glitter, Edge, and SAMT might be the only ones with staying power.

I think he did a pretty decent job overall with Level 3 but then you look at Kyary's album versions and it's just disaster city. The point more or less being that songs like STAR TRAIN and Hold Your Hand (and Display frankly) don't stand to lose much by being retooled...

Compilation videos for Momokuro's song previews, so you can preview both albums easily. Nice for people like me still figuring out with another person which one we're each buying.

My girlfriend and I live together and each want to buy one, so I'll save about 3000 yen, thanks.

 

[stump sock]

noise has never been so adorable

 

[llehuty]

I said damn.

 

[SweetDonuts]

I don't know how people pre-order without seeing the covers, I always buy the nicest looking one.

ももいろクローバーZ -「モノクロデッサン」DOCUMENTARY MUSIC VIDEO

apparently it's only going to be up for 24 hours so save it if you like it or whatever. song's kind of cute.

e: uh, so Amaranthus kind of rules? damn man.

 

[Kurita]

I pre-order the one with the most interesting bonuses

 

[stump sock]

e: uh, so Amaranthus kind of rules? damn man.

well these were interesting listens. Amaranthus must have cost a fortune to record with all the session musicians and choirs and whatnot. it's also probably the first start-to-finish coherent album they've ever released; it's kind of what you'd want/expect out of a maturing group like them. Hakkin no Yoake is a 5th Dimension-style mixed bag but there's some rad as shit songs on there. The mastering on the KISS song is still garbage lol.

they're actually worth paying attention to again! totally buying the first live BD they put out with the new material on it. you know, since they put out like 10 with the same song pool...

Wait, the MomoClo albums are out!?

 

[stump sock]

sort of. Amazon was doing a "get it a day early" thing so a lot of preorders are already out. official release is not for another hour or two.

 

[Kurita]

Well new albums are always available one day before the official release date in Japan. That's the "Flying get day"/フラゲ日. It's kinda like a tradition!

definitely, but I don't usually see online retailers getting in on it like they did with this one. new Momoclo is a big event I guess.

the new Necronomidol has been in peoples' hands since Sunday. meanwhile I'm just waiting for the itunes release.

Oh yeah, online retailers are a different story you're right.
Personally I get my CDs one or two days after the Japanese release. Amazon Japan is crazy fast. They ship it on Tuesday and I get them on Thurday/Friday.

Same here on the US east coast, which is basically as far away from japan as one could be. pretty crazy.

 

[Slowdive]

The new Oomori single is great, even better than Magic Mirror.

Zombie-Chang live was good, Licaxxx was on too, it was surprising to see her in in the advert for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 recently.

Amaranthus is fantastic, haven't heard Hakkin no Yoake yet.
