I hope this all will be over soon! All those videos and pictures.. it looked like a nightmare or a movie! I'm glad to hear GND their family and staff are doing ok!

they were lucky moving the date of the new releases before the earthquake

I know & it sounds strange to me but they probably anticipate stiff competition might arise this coming week but I don't think anyone was expecting an earthquake to come :x

but Slient Scream will be going up against B'z's comeback single on 30th March T_T

ugh times like this I really hate it that I support/listen to so many artistes :laugh

Yeah, quite a lucky surprise move there...

Silent Scream postponed again due to an earth quake (3rd time lol) album seems to stay where it is

it's a coincidence how they pushed the album back to April, before the earthquake happened. it would have been pushed back regardless, it seems. :P

So apparently it first got delayed due to the trademark controversy, now all of a sudden it's delayed due to that freakin' earthquake...

it's understandable this time round because of the earthquake

anyway this can wait imo . Maybe it will be released on the same release date as Destination now ?

you never know haha

wasnt it on the same date when it was still Twitter?

actually, the single was originally stated to be released early March (I believe the 2nd)

then it was pushed to the 16th

then the 30th

now it's postponed again.

lol

i hope they can release the single someday

^ lol of course it'll be released! just in april...hopefully. :P

best scenerio is that both Slient Scream & Destination will get released on the same release date next month before the reshuffling of their material happened

I don't know but we'll see . Already all mid March releases issued by avex , Universal & Sony BMG have been pushed back to April & I frankly have no issues with them doing this

let alone it means my credit card can have a rest or 2 for now as well haha

On cd japan, the jacket art for the live edition of the album is different...o_O

I believe they use the inside cover, behind the slipcase cover.

yeah it seems so

it's not the 1st time CDJapan does that anyway , they also used the non slipcase covers for other GND albums & singles too :O but those non slipcase covers , you can see it but you can't enlarge them for some odd reasons o_O

which includes

- NEXT FUTURE ; for both CD & CD + DVD's
- Orion ; for both CD & CD + DVD's
- Be your wings / FRIENDSHIP / Wait for you ; for both CD & CD + DVD's
- Seeds of Dream ; CD + DVD

is this a new preview of the silent scream PV? since the word "twitter" isn't there anymore. :P

yeah it seems so Lisa because I don't see the word Twitter on there anymore

I seriously still cannot recongise Mizushima Hiro in blonde hair @_@ , I can't even see his face properly xD

the orchestra instrumental preview for Slient Scream is fantastic , I hope the 'movie' PV for Slient Scream wouldn't be cheesy ~_~

"Don't see the word Twitter" is all beacuse of those copyright concerns of Twitter, Inc. trademarks and controversies...

Bigger covers for Slient Scream

the pv preview looks good. The pv seems to be better than the last ones.
The last pv that I like was Freedom one.
It seems to be a great song & pv I'm happy for that.
the covers looks scary X_X

After being pushed back for 3 times (& hopefully not another 4th time) , Slient Scream will get released on 13th April

http://girlnextdoor.jp/discography/#new

which's 2 weeks before Destination drops

I hope Slient Scream will get released FOR GOOD this time round , I frankly will punch someone if it gets pushed back again ~_~

LOL avex better not mess with karen! :roflmao

hopefully Silent Scream will do better on oricon 2 weeks before Destination. i feel like if both releases were still gonna be released on the same day, the sales wouldn't be too great. :shrug

:lmfao

never in my life have I seen a jpop release being pushed back 3 times in a row which's insane

I really hope that it wouldn't get pushed back again because it's really annoying whenever something like this happen ~_~

but yeah it wouldn't surprise me if Slient Scream wouldn't sell/chart well & somemore they're going up against B'z on that day AGAIN D:

well as long as the single is good , I don't care which position Slient Scream gets

GND performing Silent Scream @ MUSIC FAIR!


also, here's the short version of the PV! i don't think i've seen it uploaded yet. i've only seen previews. :shrug

Short version of Slient Scream's PV will be aired tomorrow morning on SSTV

I don't know if this's the same short version that Lisa has posted from the YouTube link but we'll see :P

Music Fair's live is set on private :/ can't watch iit T_T

^ already? :( the video was uploaded on saturday, but i didn't even know they were performing the song recently! i just found it by chance last night. :( i'm sorry!

oh well no worries, it seems they will re-broadcast it this saturday so someone might be able to get it this time :D (alan's also performing oow :o)

Slient Scream PV's uploaded on Dailymotion

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhx...sic#from=embed

I guess this will be the same version that will be included in the DVD for Destination

omg wth , the 1st part scared me already LMAO D: , I really admire Mizushima Hiro who's the person that came up with the plot for the PV

Thanks Karen!
im glad the video doesn't ruin the ending, as it seems to continue where it leaves off ;-)

thank you though!
sorry for not updating the thread lately, too. have had other things on my mind :-\

why must dailymotion hate me? :weep could someone upload it to youtube? but avex would probably delete it. :grumpy

it's ok & for me what really annoys me is that if I want to see the full 15 mins version of Slient Scream's PV , I have to buy the single since it will not be included in the album's DVD ~_~

I tried to search on YouTube before I post the Dailymotion link but yeah I'm quite sure avex will butt in & ask the uploader to remove it due to copyright infringement ~_~

it's an amazing video !!
and Chiisa is gorgeous

has anyone seen this special Slient Scream site from their official website ?

http://girlnextdoor.jp/movie/

the orchestra instrumental piece currently being played there is sooo pretty :luv2

& I don't know what this's but it's some book CD ? :O

http://i55.tinypic.com/suy0ci.jpg

doesn't seem it will be available on major online CD shops e_e but I'm not very sure on that :O

http://girlnextdoor.jp/discography/index.html#shortfilm

thankfully the PV was uploaded to youtube, lol. so i watched it just now & i really liked it! i'm not 100% sure about the storyline, but what i think is this: hiro mizushima kidnapped chisa just so he could teach her ballet? because at the end, she dances in that concert and it all goes well, but she looks for hiro in the audience & he's not there.

but regardless, it's a very well-made PV & i'm sure it's much better in 15 minutes, lol. :P i love the song most of all. :D and also...chisa is BEAUTIFUL. :heart

it's not just you Lisa , I also have problems understanding what the plot's all about & the fact that Mizushima Hiro is the one that wrote it , go figure ~_~

I don't know for his role , is he supposed to be a kidnapper or a robber ? The 1st part , there're scenes of him holding a gun at Chisa's head D: & the next , there're all of this artwork stuff in 1 section of the building

a bit lost @_@ , where's a story plot translation when you need it LOL

The book version of the single is only being released through 7/11 Convenient stores across Japan through 7/11's website.

As for the plot, I'm also pretty lost. The short version is definitely only for promotional use, haha. It seems to lose some meaning :P

xD

I guess the whole storyplot would be somewhat more meaningful if I watched the full 15 mins of the PV since that's the original time plot for it

by just watching 5 mins outta the original timeframe , yeah naturally I would get lost myself D:

it's too bad that the full storyplot is only available in the Slient Scream single & Destination's DVD will only get 5 mins worth of things ~_~

Alternate covers for Slient Scream , without the slipcases I mean haha

:dead2

CDJapan is giving away a B2 sized poster for each edition of Slient Scream as an external bonus too

the CD only cover is the best! :heart

I really like the CD only jacket :) But the cd only slipcase is the one i don't like. haha

rly cant wait for this single and album to leak

LOL

well you can always buy the CD Only of Slient Scream after the 1st press slipcase is sold out :P

didnt secnd press have slipcase cover on jacket place? I mean it wil be wise since slipcase covers are the ones to get promoted in cms and stuff

usually the covers that I seen on the net when comes to GND's stuff are the slipcase covers , well the ones that have slipcases

I very seldom see alternate covers even though CDJapan do post some of them on their site but they will be really tiny in size :x

Yeah the slipcase covers are the "main" covers, I suppose. Considering most people will only buy the single when it first comes out. :P

I think CDJapan updates it with both covers is so it might not confuse people? Like, if they only had the first press jacket and then someone ordered the non-first press version, they might be like "umm, I ordered something else" or whatever haha

CDJapan uploaded the image(s) pertaining to the external B2 sized poster for Slient Scream

is it double sided ? because they uploaded 2 images at their end hmm

http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/8...d48029pos1.jpg

i really like that Destination poster! PINK! :heart

^^ that's what I thought also. I'm tempted to buy the cd+dvd as I'll probably buy the OS press of the album <3

both posters are good

SSTV listed Slient Scream's PV which will get broadcast tomorrow morning

I don't know if this will be the full 15 mins version they will air but we'll see

I hope Slient Scream will leak out soon ! I want to hear fallin' angel now !

15 minutes may be a bit too long for TV...

Slient Scream is at #12 on the daily chart , 1st day wise

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/more/2/

this's their 1st release not to debut in the top 10 in the 1st day e_e =(

aww, that sucks! :( and the song is so good, too!

1) Postponing
2)Title change
3)Album soon

by looking at today's sales, it's a good thing that avex didn't have the single released on the same day as the album after all. it'd probably do worse than #12 on the first day, at least. :( not sure about the whole week, but i do hope Destination will be in the top 10 for the week.

@Aitakute
I agree :yes

actually is good, i hope a better peak for the album

omg fallin' angel is just pure love *__________________________*

It's just really unfortunate Slient Scream is not doing as well as expected . You thought getting Mizushima Hiro to write the PV plot would help but it didn't e_e

would have been better if they released the single next week or something ._.

But do you realize that there's an album coming up soon?

~_~ ~_~ ~_~ ~_~

DUH , of course I know Destination will be released on 27th April

I bet you had no idea that it was originally supposed to get released on 16th March :irked :rolleyes

Well, next week's the 20th, but that's way too close - because had that happen, the album would then come out a week later...

Loving the single, Silent Scream is really great, best single a-side with FREEDOM
Fallin' Angel is really surprising, really loved it! I'm not such a big fan of remixes, but Orion's remix was quite nice!

Slient Scream reminds at #12 today once more

Based on the previews I heard in Destination Digest , I have a feeling Destination is going to be my fave GND album outta the 3

especially since already Destination has some of their finest if not strongest singles to date like Freedom , Unmei no Shizuku & then now Slient Scream

i guess as long as GND is still in the top 20, it's not such a bad thing. i just don't want the single to have a weekly ranking of like...#25 or something. :no

1st press details of the CD + DVD A for Destination

sleeve, photo book with making-of a music video "Silent Scream"

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38249

so I guess this's their 1st album not to have any fanciful pics being used for the photobook ._.

Also , seems that avex Taiwan is only making the CD + DVD B for the album D: D: D: (in which it will be released next Fri , 2 days after it's released in Japan)

http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=432415678871

this really sucks , I was expecting them to make CD + DVD A but I never expect the opposite effect to happen

Looks like I have to buy the Japan press whether I like it or not since I want to keep all the albums that I have of them in CD + DVD format , PVs wise

oh what the hell? Guess I will buy the japan press later then...

Could be just me, but I don't like her voice in fallin' angel...... seems to deep for what she usually does yknow? It kinda sounds weird to me, anyone else thinks so? I do like Silent Scream, quite nice.

Slient Scream's peak position week wise - #15

http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Oricon...r_2011_week_16

:(

...so sad. :( and totally unfair.

I realised that the 1st press bonus for Destination (CD + DVD A) is sleeve, photo book with making-of a music video "Silent Scream" according to CDJapan

I just find it really strange , shouldn't avex have included that photobook in the Slient Scream single ? it's just not making sense to me :x

let alone this will be the 1st time for the group not to have any glam photospreads going on unlike what happened in NEXT FUTURE ._.

An alternate cover & a B2 sized poster will be given as external bonuses for all 4 editions of Destination according to CDJapan

Alternate cover

poster

http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/5...d38249pos1.jpg

:love :love :love

Ohh I missed the alternate covers :D They haven't done them since Orion and NEXT FUTURE :(

I believe it's a CDJapan/neowing offer only so I'm guessing I'll be getting my copy from them :)

yeah I think it's an offer CDJapan exclusively offers because I didn't see this being listed on HMV Japan :x

I'm real tempted to order from CDJapan but sorry I go with HMV Japan due to the fat discount I'm given :P

NINKI index for Destination

anyone have seen DVD ISO for SS or just full PV?

#3 is great! i really, really hope this album gets good sales. :weep

^

Me too! (>_<) They make great music! They deserve it!

Oh it's CDJapan only O_o...that's strange...

I forgot Amuro's album was coming out this week too -_-.
#1 is impossible for them T_T. But top 3 would be great!

yeah the B2 sized poster + alternative jacket bonus items seem to be only given by CDJapan because I don't see this on HMV Japan ._.

anyway it doesn't matter to me , I rather pay less for what the album's worth & getting it much faster than CDJapan hoho so I hopefully should get Destination on the same release date as Japan if not a day or 2 after that

I have a feeling Destination is going to be my fave GND album based on the previews of the 6 new songs & let alone the singles in the album are all so good

CM of the album


Previews of the songs

I want the album nowwwwww ;__;

3 more days before Destination's released & I'm going to listen to the new album tracks as soon as the album leaks out <3

this time round , I'm ordering the Japan press since avex Taiwan didn't made the edition I want ~_~

this's embarassing but I haven't seen the PV for Shiawase no Hakari yet -_- but I will finally be watching it after I receive my copy of Destination *_*

I won't be able to see my copy until I get back to Japan :( I ordered it from mu-mo so hopefully my roommate will be home when it's shipped!! haha

I also think this will be my favorite :)

Just watched Silent Scream Short Movie - GREAT THING - also Movie dont have song in it or Music Video from TV its like with Voyage and Tsuki...movie is seprate thing and Music Video is just made off from scenes :D

Destination is gonna be such a great album. :D

whee my copy of Destination is already in transit via HMV Japan

I should be getting it on the same release date as Japan if not a day or after Wed

looking forward to receive it *_*

Now there's some sort of campaign for GND where if you purchased the Silent Scream single and either the CD+DVD or CD+Remix CD version of Destination, you can enter to win: The cell phone strap Chisa used in the Silent Scream video (1 person), signed music video booklet (10 people), and signed poster (30 people).

Also, it hasn't been posted, but this is the first press sticker set you get if you order from mu-mo:
http://img-shop.mu-mo.net/img/pc_toku/AVCD-38249A_s.jpg

And, another first press addition is a card to go to an event for ELLEgirl where Chisa will be appearing.

Oh, and their live goods will be on mu-mo from May 2nd ;)

^ aww GALNECO is so adorable! :heart

i'm so glad GND will be performing! :D

off topic, but OMG ami suzuki! she lives! :laugh

Destination is at #3 today

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

the sales are terrible D: but I have listened to the album earlier on

Definitely my fave outta the 3 , the new album tracks are solid & I'm real excited to get my copy soon :D

Ugh, sales suck. :[

That basically means this album won't really have a chance for a long life...if it debuts with under 7,000 O_o...

However, I have given into temptation and downloaded the album. It's fantastic so far. Definitely they're best :) The flow between 3rd Contact and Freedom is great!

I updated the first post with an Oricon Ranking under the description for Destination.

And like I thought, Aitai Yoru is amazing. It's so globe-like.

the ranking's good but the sales...:( but whatever, i'm just gonna focus on the music when i get to listen to the album, lol. regardless of sales, GND are still amazing! :heart

In the "Winter" series, "Winter breeze" has become my favorite. :)

Oh no, should I make a new thread?!
