I mean... I guess that's great news? I...What!?<br /><br />I mean... I guess that's great news? I don't know, after all the fanfare, I feel like I've been smacked with a fish at this news.<br /><br />Oooh, I loved Mariko's album; that was definitely one of my favorite non-idol releases of this year. I didn't like Shiina Ringo's newest album as Shouso Strip or Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, but I thought it was enjoyable. And BiS and You'll Melt More! had two pretty decent albums.<br /><br />Happy new year to you too! Hope it's been a good one so far!Niahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133294050947014008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609550972819764448.post-85034549807532238882015-01-13T13:43:55.530-05:002015-01-13T13:43:55.530-05:00I'm absolutely in shock with the notice!!!!: h...I'm absolutely in shock with the notice!!!!: http://wack.jp/bish.html<br /><br />BiS is back but with new members??? Is a joke???<br /><br />I'm sorry if this is not the entry for comment it, but i had to say you. ^_^ <br /><br /><br />Well, and now my top ten:<br /><br />1. BiS -Who Killed Idol?-<br />2. Team Syachihoko -Himatsubushi-<br />3. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu -Pikapika Fantajin- <br />4. Passcode -All is Vanity-<br />5. Seiko Oomori -Senno-<br />6. You'll Melt More -Unforgettable Final Odyssey-<br />7. Mariko Goto -Kowareta Hako ni Rinakkusu-<br />8. Shiina Ringo -Hi Izuru Tokoro-<br />9. Tofubeats -First Album- <br />10 Babyraids -Ji Tora Shoukai-<br /><br />And makes me happy to see that you not hate Dempagumi XD <br /> <br />That's all. Happy new year!!

Half the music video is just showing off the butts of AOA.<br /><br />All right, I love cats. I'll watch Like a cat! There better be cats in the music video.<br /><br />Ahhhh now this music video makes sense. I don't understand why for a Japanese release AOA's agency thinks the sexy concept will appeal to a Japanese market. So I take it AOA abandoned their girl band concept?Niahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133294050947014008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609550972819764448.post-52205771401660064332015-01-07T11:43:10.032-05:002015-01-07T11:43:10.032-05:00Watch the video and you'll see why.

And it's totally cool if you like the 48 groups, everyone has their own preferences!<br /><br />I think I've heard of Little Glee Monster. I haven't listened to their music though. From what you said though, they sound like a pretty neat group. I think I will check them out. Thanks for the recommendation!<br /><br />Also haven't heard of Ganbare! Victory, but I'll check them out too! Ditto for Drop's.<br /><br />I hope you have a happy 2015 as well! The Perfume concert was very amazing; you should definitely listen to them!Niahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133294050947014008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609550972819764448.post-73257769848600044182015-01-02T14:54:15.128-05:002015-01-02T14:54:15.128-05:00Thank you!

There's definitely a lot of it out there, and it looks like you found a lot of great albums. Gusto is a pretty cool album. Not quite to my tastes, but from a stylistic standpoint I can definitely concur that it is a really cool album. And Lui Front Matsukuma Japan's EPs were great too. It's so weird; I feel like most of the albums I liked this year were from non-idols...Niahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133294050947014008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609550972819764448.post-76745892359031515202015-01-01T10:35:57.969-05:002015-01-01T10:35:57.969-05:00明けましておめでとうございます!

All the best to Curumi with her study hiatus and please come back BiS!<br />For me, Little Glee Monster would one of, if not the, debut acts of the year. I actually attended their mini live event in Sasebo on NY's Eve; crowd was small, weather was crap, chairs were being blown over and away non-stop, but they rocked that stage like school was out for the summer! Definitely recommend giving these girls a listen.<br />For girl rock, I really liked Victory's (now がんばれVictory) single, KGSD. Big fan though of Drop's, a blues rock band from Hokkaido who have apparently been around for a few years, but I only recently found out about them.<br />Again, a happy 2015 to you and congratulations on attending the Perfume concert! (I will get round to giving them a proper listen at some point.)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402870085807909950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609550972819764448.post-51966542397840247362015-01-01T06:20:45.554-05:002015-01-01T06:20:45.554-05:00God bless you, girl!!
