thats came out around album release

It seems like Chisa is having a cold (>A<) It got worse... I hope she gets better soon!

The trio's 13th single will be released on 19th Oct :D

http://girlnextdoor.jp/discography/

omg , no titles have been revealed for all 3 editions yet O_O'''

CDJapan is already taking preorders <3

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-48205

Thanks for the info!

The theme for the single is "rave", continuing the theme of agaru (up-tempo) songs for this year. :) Singable, danceable, and fun.

And I just noticed the covers of Dadapara!! were changed... The font is different O_o. The content on the DVDs seems to have been finalized as well.

yeah I just realised that as well , with regards to the change of the font in the Dara Para !! covers

I prefer the previous one , it looks better somewhat :x

can't wait for october, now! :P i could never get enough of GND's upbeat songs. :D

So excited about the 3 singles project. I hope the single in October is going to be a double a-side.

I don't think their 13th single will be a double A-side , as much as I want it ._.

case in point ...

If it's a double A , the DVD contents will show 2 music clips & 2 making offshots , instead of 1 each

Well dadapara is a double a side but only dadapara has a video, even though we have no info on how pure sounds :p

Dara Para !! is a double A , since when ? o_O

If it's something like Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE , I will count as a double A , even though ESCAPE did not get a PV

but something like ayumi's talkin' 2 myself where both the A-side & decision had PVs , I count it as talkin' 2 myself c/w decision haha

The description on gnds site says double a side :/ haha
Which I take to mean pure will be on the album...?

第1作目はLIVEで盛り上がる事必須の「ダダパラ!!」と、NHKケータイ発ドラマ「金魚倶楽部」の挿入 歌に決定したバラード曲「Pure」のダブルA面シングル！


But yeah I get what you mean ;)

I was able to preview Pure and Summer Breeze on their mobile website.

Pure sounds really boring... :/
While Summer Breeze is the same melody as Winter Breeze but with different lyrics :)

how does the preview of Pure sounds like ? is it a ballad ?

& Summer Breeze sounds really exciting from what you've said

Yes Pure is a ballad. :)

Oh and I said different lyrics, but I think the chorus is the same, considering the chorus for Winter Breeze talks about summer... haha

I have the scans of nail max. someone want them?

Yes please! ♪(´ε｀ )

Here is.^^

chisa is so cute! :heart thanks for the scans!

Thank you for the scans! I went out to look for that magazine a while ago (when it came out) and couldn't find it anywhere :/ Glad I could finally see the scans! She's so cute.

thanks Aurore =D

I don't really associate Chisa with nail art but I must say she looks so pretty & cute in those scans <3

Pics of GND at A-nation

http://www.barks.jp/feature/?id=1000072756&p=0

http://www.barks.jp/feature/?id=1000072756&p=1

Chisa looks so adorable *O* & I'm happy to see she wore the same outfit as what she did in Dara Para !!

But LOL at Daisuke & Yuji's trousers o_O

GND is using fan club members for their PV again :-/
This time (although I think last time as well?) it's girls only.

I would rather them -not- use fans this much....... Oh well.

they really do love their fans, don't they? :P

chisa looks so pretty at a-nation! :heart

lolrude. I'd like to hear you explanation on why they shouldn't.

^ Because the PV's end up being all the same? GND singing on a platform with their fans around them waving something in the air.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I have a reasoning lol. And I didn't say not use them at all, but they just did a video using them. One per album seems like a good number. :P

But I suppose this could turn out differently. I'm thinking it won't, but who knows.

So their 13th single which will be released on 19th Oct , they will get fanclub members to appear in the PV once more ? :O

This will be their er ... 6th PV they get fanclub members to join them for fliming ? o_O

I'm not sure cos I assume for FRIENDSHIP & Hoshizora Keikaku , they also enlisted fanclub members to appear in the PVs ? :shrug

I don't know :dead2 but I'm positively sure for Ready to be a lady & Kaze no Capsule & then now of course Dara Para !! , it's a yes ;P

I'm just a bit ... for FRIENDSHIP & Hoshizora Keikaku haha

Fans are free!
We see low budget pv for GND so they take fans! :innocent

I really want something as EPIC as guzzen no kakuritsu

yeah if not another Freedom will be amazing *_*

I don't know about you but I'm really shocked that for this week's NINKI , GND's not listed on the singles portion :tired

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ns/w/2011-09-02/

I think this's their 1st time for their name not to appear on NINKI ? this's really terrible ._.

that can't be too good. :( hoping for a decent first day next week!

it's sad that from Orion onwards , their chart performance has taken a severe beating which's a huge pity , especially since from Freedom onwards , they have produced some of their best works to date

it's just not fair for them ;_;

Well it is kind of sucky... But it'll definitely be in top 20 (I still think it'll be top 10, but who knows...) I wish they'd appear on music station again (；´Д`A

it's weird coz the song seems to be quite popular on itunes.. :/

oh is it ?

then again even if Dara Para !! will not peak in the top 10 , it wouldn't be their 1st not to miss it since Silent Scream was their 1st release not to debut in the top 10 ._.

Silent Scream deserved much better :x even the B-side fallin' angel was really amazing T_T

THIS JUST IN.

GIRL NEXT DOOR is now going to be known as girl next door, in all lowercase letters.

In celebration (?) of their 3rd anniversary.

From their official site.

er =_____=

I frankly don't see any significance meaning for this , especially with line with celebrating their 3rd anniversary

if they're creating a new mascot to celebrate it , I can understand but this's just so o_O

But anyway :shrug

So does this mean from their 13th single , they will release all future material all via lowercase lettering or it starts from Dara Para !! onwards ?

Haha I think they're trying to change their image, which includes their logo. TBH, I think they're trying to attract the gyaru crowd... Not sure how well it will work, but we'll see haha.

I believe it's starting with Dada Para!! because they've since changed the covers and have their name written in lower case letters.

But the way they're going about things is a bit messy, imo. :D

aww, i liked how it was in uppercase, lol. :P but if their going for a new style, then i'm okay with that & hopefully it'll be a good/positive thing. :yes

Yeah, I hope so too! But I still hope they will make cool songs like unmei no shizuku and yume no katana. Even thought they want to try to change their image.:yes

Well, that's kinda strange.... D:

my friend informed me that Chisa will be appearing on Takanori Nishikawa's Nico live webshow later on tonight at 11pm Japan time

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv61932459

I guess it's for promo with regards to Dara Para !! ? :P

On September 5th, pop trio GIRL NEXT DOOR revealed that they will change their name… sort of. GIRL NEXT DOOR will now officially be in all lower-case letters, “girl next door”.

girl next door, who debuted back on September 3rd 2008 with “Guuzen no Kakuritsu”, just recently welcomed their 3rd anniversary as a band. By turning over a new leaf with their change of name, they plan to walk a new road as a musical unit.

http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/09/gir...ge-their-name/

Dara Para !! is at #16 today ;_; :weep :(

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2011-09-06/more/3/

._.

I'm ok with 16, haha. At least it was in the top 20.

I suppose they need a good tie-in now. CM songs would be nice... as opposed to random dramas that you can only watch on your cellphone :-[

Also, GND hasn't been on Music Station in a long time. I think for awhile Avex was pushing them onto the show (I don't think they were invited for the majority of them) and now Avex has stopped pushing, and they haven't been invited. But that's just my feelings.

didn't GND appeared in all the major big shows such as HEYx3 & MUSIC STATION in the early phrase of their career ?

I don't recall seeing them in such shows anymore , especially MUSIC STATION which's such a big pity ._.

Yes they did. I mean, I don't think the shows actually invited them, rather Avex asked the shows to have them. Because usually only well established/high profile/or hit songs are performed on shows.

I feel like the last time they appeared on MS was for Orion?

^ i actually think it was "Infinity". i definately remember them performing it on MS, and CDTV too.

anyway, #16 isn't the best, but i'm also glad it's in the top 20. it could have been worse. :shrug

What's the big difference between Winter and Summer Breeze?

How can GIRL NEXT DOOR change their name to girl next door?
I LIKE ALL CAPS!
#16 is okay for Dara Para!!

Dara Para !! is up for download

http://www.j-mp3.info/2011/09/girl-next-door.html

Pure is very nice *_* & it kinda reminds me of Shiawase no Hakari to a certain extent

But yeah when I 1st heard Summer Breeze , I was like , eh Winter breeze ? :laugh

Luckily , I was able to detect a little bit of difference even though the similiarities are quite huge there :O

Overall , I really enjoy Dara Para !! . It's a huge pity it's already tanking like nobody's business at this point in time ugh ._.

Ah, finally this single is released! I've been waiting ever since I heard the full version of Dada Para!!

The title song is still as fantastic as on the first listen. I'm gonna loop it 'till I drop, starting now. Pure was also very nice and I think I like Summer Breeze more than the Winter counterpart. I couldn't be happier with this single.

Ah why Chisa's so cute in these photos ;_; T_T

Are those your pictures Karen!? Now I wish I got the single :-/ The trump cards are really cute.

I think I'm going to their free live tomorrow celebrating the release of Dada Para, and if I buy the single there I get something (it doesn't say yet) so maybe that's what I'll do. haha

^ me toooo! I'm going to order it as soon as I can <3 so freaking cute

I wish I can say yes but unfortunately no ;_;

I stopped buying their singles quite a long time already , the last single I bought of them was Seeds of dream

Those TRUMP cards pics were listed on Yahoo Japan Auctions & yeah the pics of Chisa are super cute *O*

In fact those TRUMP cards are not listed anymore which's quite o_o

omg those pictures! chisa's too cute! :heart

I like the cards better than the cover. Especially the blue one

I think the trump cards are only for mu-mo purchases?? Or is it all first press editions? I know next door members get a special set as well as the mu-mo ones

I don't know for this sorry =_= but the only thing I know's that for Dara Para !! , 1st press editions of the single come with a trading card randomly allocated from 13 designs

I don't know if those cards I found on YJA if they're the 1st press cards :shrug

anyway ... inside pics of the CD + DVD A of Dara Para !!

:love

Which reminds me , where's the PV for Yume no Katana e o_o

What an incredibly cute package :love

I love the pic where she's on the chair!
When someone will have the cd, If he could scan it, it'll make me happy.
& I'll do a textless scan!

I wanna buy the single just for CHISA's cuteness <333

...why must chisa be SO cute?! :heart i love the packaging of the single so much! such a pity that it's not selling good. :(

New single is titled "ROCK YOUR BODY"

The new single takes on the theme of a rave, something that's fun and singable and danceable!

*First press comes with a trump card randomly selected from 13 kinds.
*Next door members receive an original set of 3 trump cards as well as the one within the cd package.

^I love the song title! Tbh I hope this song has some attitude in it xP! Like Fallin' Angel. (but I guess not, since it's supposed to be a fun up-theme)
Also I wonder if in "girl next door skill" Chisa will show her dance skills xD;? And Yuji and Daisuke their skills with their guitar and keyboard, maybe? xP

lol my 1st thought when I saw the new single title - Justin Timberlake XD XD XD

Anyway it wouldn't surprise me if this's going to be another dancey electro pop tune x) & 七つの文字 sounds interesting

Funny that from Dara Para !! onwards , they have been including an extra track in the CD only , something the other 2 CD + DVD's will not have o_O

Ok I updated my previous post with the information translated haha.

The title is not really a GND's title but as they want to change their picture maybe it'll suits better!

Hope the song'll be nice!

Can't wait!! I'll order both singles at the same time <3

Dara Para !!'s peak position

#23 4,622　girl next door

._.

That's...sad. :( Not even 5000 sold.

Well, they really didn't promote it and the tie-ups were horrible.

poor dada para. :(

but i'm so excited for "ROCK YOUR BODY". i love that title so much! :P can't wait for covers.

Aww I wonder if Chisa is still in love or is it a story of her old love? I wonder..:)

has anyone seen this video yet? it's of chisa having an interview with "Talking Japan". :P

^

Thanks for sharing! I don't understand Japanese that much but it seems like Chisa still enjoys dancing and singing in girl next door. :yes

Also I kinda feel sad when people think gnd is going to have these 3singles then best album and then they would quit like Day After Tomorrow... Cause if thats so I don't see the reason why they would change their name if they were planning to quit soon :/ doesn't make that much sense to me

Also didn't DAT go on hiatus because of the guitarist who started dating someone? (Sorry if this question is going off topic)

o_o

I don't know the background of DAT that much except that misono was the lead vocalist while Daisuke was the guitarist

He dated someone which caused DAT to go on hiatus & then they eventually disbanded ?

Hmm I don't know :x

interesting how on both dada para!! and this, only their name is written.

btw, is the yume no katana video not available anywhere? D:

Those are really cute covers ! Chisa look so good in checkered prints *__*

I don't think so , I haven't seen anyone uploading it D: D: D:

CHISA is so cuuute

The covers are better than Dara Para ones!

Oh wow haha so fast :D Though, since it says "dance music" I'm kinda of...not that excited. I would have preferred something like 情熱の代償　D: Three upbeat eurobeat-dancey songs in a row is a bit boring haha. I hope it has a somewhat wintry feeling...

There has been a slight title change in regards to the ROCK YOUR BODY tracklist.

Originally track one was "ROCK YOU BODY (Extended Ver.)", but it has been changed to "ROCK YOUR BODY EXTENDED"

Nothing major, haha

so fast! but i'm totally looking forward to these upcoming singles. :D

aha yeah I noticed the minor change via http://girlnextdoor.jp/discography/index.html as well ;D xD

"ROCK YOUR BODY" PV preview:

that's .... so FRIENDSHIP + Dara Para !! + ayumi's Lady Dynamite o_________o

It looks like fun but I couldn't help but feel Chisa looked like a wannabe Ah Lian getai singer in that pink getup =___= but she look so fierce in the black outfit whee

it looks so 90s haha ;D

i could have done without the "live" looking footage (with the pink outfit), but im excited. thanks!

but with their new image/theme, i feel their lyrical content has suffered...

That being said, haha, the theme of their next single is "disco" :)

SO EUROBEAT me likes!

T_T Think I'll wait until the single release to hear the full song. The pv preview makes me depressed. It's worse than Dara Para's pv

the video for the 14th single will also be using fans, i suppose to keep the trend going. haha

Oh Haha! :P Seems like it! I wonder what their next theme will be.. Since we are having now happy up-theme songs. I hope they will write songs like unmei no shizuku even thought they changed their name. Dx

14th Single to be called「ブギウギナイト」(Boogie Night?)
Sound like fun xD :P

xD it does have the very disco night feeling , cos I mean come on , already title wise it's as so :p

but yeah it's correct , their 14th single is titled Boogie Night x)
