[Color-Code] Will Make You Like Dat in their First Thread
 

http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/...psm2qc3pfk.png

First heard of them thanks to Miichan's ''The next generation of female artists/groups'' thread and I have been obsessed ever since. Color-code is the brainchild of Lady Gaga's designer friend Nicola Formichetti. And you certainly get a Gaga vibe from this girls first music video '' I LIKE DAT''. They have 2 singles up till now, ''I LIKE DAT'' and ''Hands Up!''. Tho they are both catchy I actually enjoy more the other songs that were in their singles. If you don't want to buy physical copies their songs are available on Amazon and Itunes for .99 each I think. They are all good and worth a lisen.

the videos are not showing up for me on my tablet or desktop but they do show up when I check the thread on my phone...Don't know what I did wrong. Any ideas?

Yeah, i.m on the phone and I also can.t see the videos. Thanks for the thread, I.ll check their latest single. : )

Maybe check your plugin or something like that. There is also a big problem because of flash player being an open door for virus lately. Firefox is blocking it for security. It's maybe why your phone and tablet can't show them.

Thanks for this thread. I wonder if we'll get news about a song or their debut album soon.

Unfortunatly I don't think they had much success with the first 2 singles. From what I understand ''I LIKE DAT'' only made it to #198 on Oricon and ''Hands up'' didn't even enter the top 200. Don't quote me on that tho. I don't know how to navigate the Oricon website that well.

Anyways...Last night they had some kind of performance. They uploaded pics from backstage in their instagram account. The pics are so fierce!

The green one who I guess is Mako, judging by the color-coding in the first post, has a lovely voice. Something about it that I really like.

Anyway I really liked I Like Dat a lot. Not so much the second song. But I'll try them out more.

I like both of the single songs.
Though my favourite song is Tamashii no Refrain.
Just recently found out it's just a cover - but they did a damn great job on it!
More from that as original, please!

Ah, and I really like their image and style. It's refreshing for JPop.

^ I love their cover of Tamashii no Refrain too! If only we could have sung it together at karaoke :cry

Their styling is always interesting. It's a nice change from what he (Formicetti) did while he was working with Gaga.

Argh, great idea, but too late! :bawl

I'm glad, it isn't as over the top as with Lady Gaga.
So far it's a bit avantgarde, but still sophisticated - I like dat! :D
I just hope they gonna release more frequently in the future.
For now they're doing lots of smaller events it seems. Not a bad strategy, but don't forget to work on music!

Random fact...I had a dream about Nanami (a.k.a. the one with pink hair) last night. I was at the mall and I was in the parking lot and saw her and I was like ''You are a member from Color Code!'' and she was like ''I didn't really think anyone would recognize me in Puerto Rico'' I asked for a pic and a hug and when I was hugging her suddenly Zooey Deschanel (the american actress) appeared out of nowhere and she was like ''I am so turned on by this'' and we both looked at her strangely and then I woke up. LoL

Anyways the girls are preparing something to celebrate their first anniversary in the music industry. So strange to think that ''I Like Dat'' was released almost a year ago. They need to release new music asap!

^Maybe they'll announce their debut album.

Break Our Love pv

OMG OMG OMG!!! I can't believe it color-code'll be in Concert in my country!!! They're coming in Made in Asia in March!!

http://www.madeinasia.be/color-code-...-made-in-asia/

Ah, a Break Our Love PV, didn't notice!
Why making one so late?
Wonder if the different settings stand for the different characters of the members.

You're lucky, Yoake!
But with that chances are higher they gonna perfrom on other countries as well.
Come to Germany, please! :)

^Apparently Belgium is a stage of an European tour. I just read on Japanfm they'll be in France and in Germany too. :)

source : http://www.japanfm.fr/article-1699-c...uropeenne.html

edit:news from their official website :

Ah, this is great, but also bad at the same time as Berlin is basically at the other side of the country. ;_;

It's in this case that I'm glad that Belgium is a tiny country. Though I would like that a lot of employers understand that too :(

It's sad that they don't have an album yet. I won't buy their singles just to get a sign. If they're are some goods that I like I could choose one of them to get a sign.

Yeah, I wanna have an album already, too!
It's a bit strange they're touring already with just two singles.

I'd actually save some money and go to Berlin for two days for the concert, but as it's in March already, there isn't enough time for me to get enough money.
Ah, well, I just hope it will be a success, so they're coming again in the future.

I've just come back from the MIA!! Color-code was just awesome!!

Firstly I got signs from all three members. I'll share a photo of them. I bought a set of 4 pics for that!

Before to talk about the concert, I would like to say that a mini-album should be released soon. When I went to the HIGH FEEL stand where you could find CC's cds and goods, I was surprised to see three CDs. I asked if it was an album and the woman answered yes. I said her that I wasn't aware at all that it was out (which is weird when you know how many informations about new songs I'm searching for to post them on AHS).
She told me that it was out some days/ weels ago (she didn't point out the date and you can't find info on Internet actually).
As the mini-album was expensive (20 euro for 5 songs) I didn't buy it because I'm suspecting that it's a preview showing for the European tour and that it'll be released for the Japanese market later for a cheaper price. Or maybe a new album with the singles's songs + mini-album's. I'm sorry. I know that you should be eager for the new songs but I'm not rich, and I do everything to save each pence I can.

The concert was just amazing. Their voices are soooo beautiful. Especially Mako who sang a cappella a little song. They started the concert with I like Dat followed by Tamashii no Refrain. Aside the single's songs, they sang new songs. And there are really great!!

Their dances are very awesome too. Nanami did some "classical" steps. It was breathtaking. (at least to me)

They talked in english and said some words in french too.
Marisa's french was pretty good. She said she wanted to come in Belgium since a long time, because she love chocolate. She asked us what's the best chocolate. She's really cute.
Nanami and Mako struggled. They both read their texts while Marisa not. And they only said simple and usual sentences (Hello, How are you, I'm happy to be here, ...) but it was cute to see their efforts.:yes

Each members had a fan with their names and they gave them to the audience. Unfortunately, I didn't get one.

I did some short videos, the quality of the sound and the image is bad. But I wanted to share with you some moments of this concert.



You can find better videos of their concert on their twitter.

From Their Instagram :

http://pimg.imagesia.com/fichiers/16...6c5h_large.jpg

They uploaded snippets of the performances from all new songs on their INstagram now.
Really looking forward to them, they just have that dreamy EDM style I like so much!

Also saw that new CD on their Instagram, it's called "Colorfull". Couldn't din anything in the net about it, hope we get info soon.
It's great, you had such a good time, Yoake!
Thanks for sharing.

They added a video with Star (studio vers.)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BDYklROP...rcode.official

Argh, I wanna have news for a new release (mini-album or album, please)!
Looks like they've already recorded a PV for Star.
Hope that means we get something soon.

They also posted another sneek peek for a song called ''Over The Dream'' .
I'm really excited for both songs. They both sound so promising. I hope we get an announcent for a mini-album or studio album soon.

Yoake thanks for the report. I'm glad you enjoyed the show so much. At first I got the impresion that the girls sounded great because of auto-tune and that I would be dissapointed when I heard them live but now that you said their voices where beautiful I am dying to see a concert dvd or something. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First we need that album!

I have a little surprise for you! I kept quiet that I met the editor in chief of BCM (A Belgian Jculture Magazine). I have to say that I haven't known that this magazine existed at all until I met her. She sent me the link for the new issue with Color-Code's interview (p33-41). It's in english.

http://www.houseofsecretsincorporated.be/BCM.htm

I was suspected that Marisa did french studies when I heard her great french. And it's right :)

I think it so cute how they keep prasing each other during the entire interview. :luv2 I love how they truly seem to like each other.

Nanami did the choreography for the last 5 songs of their newest album.
Just release it, please! xD
Thanks a bunch for the link, was a great read.

None info about a japan release but Arama did an article :

new preview Girls Talk https://www.instagram.com/p/BDtVUO1v4Q2/

This is seriously starting to depress me. I AM DYING FOR THAT MINI! The fact that they keep posting little tibits on instagram is not helping! They all sound to damn good. I want them in full. Now!

I forgot to post the pics I was talking about last month >.<

New choregraphy ♥

I had not seen this. You are so lucky to have gotten autographs from all of them.

As for the chorography video. I had to watch it 3 times. The first two I was too distracted by Nanami's awful hair and huge shirt. She looks like a boy. I don't like it one bit. I demand we get the pink hair back!

But the choreo is really nice and they are so in sync with one another. I love it. I wish they would pull out a pv where their dancing was more promenatly displayed. We saw a little in ''I LIKE DAT'' but there was so much going on in that video and so much jumping from one thing to the next that we didn't really get a chance to appreciate it.

^same. I really enjoy watching them dance. I love the I Like Dat video but honestly I prefer watching the choreography rehearsal video of it because it's so much fun to watch them.

They're so precious. I would have loved to see them live.

Seriously their strategy is very bad. They posted previews of songs as if there was news soon and then nothing, radio silence during several weeks -_-"

I found by chance Marisa's twitter.

Video with Pop star : https://twitter.com/clc_marisa/statu...18737615904769

And star : 1,2,3

Then I found the Mako and Nanami's accounts

At least the band is still alive. But what are their producer doing? If girls weren'tt so active on their own twitter and instagram, we could think that color-code is dead.

luna7996: Can you add the links in the first post please?

I actually tried not to get excited again after watching their Isntagram posts this week, as it's not the first time nothing even happened afterwards.
Really don't understand as they brought the release to Europe with their tour, so it is manufactured already. Where's the problem to release it officially?

My thought is only a few copies of the mini-album was printed for the european tour to earn some money on the new songs. However I don't understand what they're waiting for if their mind was to release in Japan a debut full album with the mini + two singles. At this rate they'll just miss the boat because the fans'll be bored.

I added all the links you suggested to the first post Yoake. Thank you and sorry it took so long. My desktop was being fix and it was really weird and hard to do anything on the tiny screen of my phone.

Fun fact ''I Like Dat'' was released on September 17, 2014. That means we are about 3 and a half months away from it's second year anniversary and still no album. Or a mini for that matter. Also ''Hands Up!'' celebrated it's one year anniversary on may 20th.

I really don't know what the producers are thinking. I think the girls should make a stand and tell them to either release their music or release them from their contract so that they can find another label to work with. It's very unfair to the girls in my opinion to sort of leave them hanging like this. If we are feeling anxious about getting new music imagine how anxious they must be to release it.

^oh no worries. Thanks for updating the first post.

Nothing about the album but the official website was updated with a new event called Triangle -Start.

They added video on their youtube channel :

I just spotted this thread and checked some tracks. Not bad, like more mature version of Perfume.

The event “Triangle - START-” was uploaded to their youtube. The first 40 minutes of the video are just music. The actual show starts about 40-41 minutes in. Enjoy. I am going to watch this later tonight.



I'll update the first post with this video later also.

The Triangle vol. 2 is out on youtube too. At least it's a good way to all of you to hear the new songs.

A third triangle party is scheduled. This time they made a CM



I wonder how many mini-concert they'll hold before to release an album. >.<

New single? Is it a miracle?

Omg! Officially an anouncement for a new single in April! o.O
I still want that mini-album, but I take a single as well of course...

The new single is called 桜雨 (Sakura rain) and is released today on iTunes Japan:
http://itun.es/jp/8axqhb

I didn't expect that the new song would be a ballad without electro sounds. I wonder if it's because they want to catch the attention of japanese market?

If you haven't seen it yet, there are a live report of their spanish concert and an interview on arama.jp.

They also released a new digital single : Re Start.

:laugh

with the two new singles I wonder if we'll get a new album finally.

A third single is out : http://alljpop.co/color-code-paralle...9b%a8-mp3-rar/

And now the pv of Parallel Word.



Three singles in three months and a pv. Are they really back?

Good news! Someone uploaded colorfull on JPS finally. Here is a link : http://uplea.com/dl/EA55C9B0FCEE5A8

Fourth month, fourth single. This time we got three songs and not ionly one. Two ballads and an edm song.

Thanks for sharing this! I finally found the time to listen to their recent releases and god damn, I love their dance party anthems! Star and Over the Dreams are amazing! I also really like B.F.F. Not so much into their "dirtier" songs like Girls Talk, I could definitely do without this track... But even with that, colorfull is a pretty solid EP!

The recent digital singles... Why so many ballads? All the ones so far have been forgettable, they need some better ballad melodies. I like Parallel World the best out of the recent releases, the production is nice and it's an interesting mid-tempo track!

I hope they get to release an actual album one day, I feel like this group has nice potential and they already have some really nice songs out.

oh no, I forgot to download and now the link doesn't work anymore! :(
Does anybody have another link for the colorful EP?

^ I can upload it for you if there's no other link available. The original file had the songs in both FLAC and mp3 320, would you prefer to have the songs in one or both formats?

Oh, that would be really kind of you!
mp3 is enough. Thank you! :)

Here! The password is color-code.

When I listened to Sakura Rain the first time, I thought that the song was very japanese and I supposed that maybe they were focused on the japanses market to gain more visibility. The new singles seem to confirm that strategy. I find that even Cinderella is more a japanese electro song than a western-like sound as their previous tracks.

Yeah, that's probably their strategy. I hope it's paid off and they've gained some new listeners!

Fifth single is out

I didn't listened to it yet.

And the next digital monthly single. The 6th.
http://alljpop.co/color-code-this-city-mp3-rar/

I wonder if it's going to lead to their first album?


And big thanks, Kacku!
I didn't enjoy Colorful as much as I thought I would. But I like it better than all those ballads recently.

It's hard to say as their strategy is awful. Maybe they only did that to analyse what style is the most successful to produce their debut album?

Is it only me or this city is their worst song in term of production? The mixing sounds very bad to me.

unknown in you is an ok song.

There's now a countdown on their Instagram.
They're counting 100 days backwards since yesterday.
Maybe we do get an album announcement in 99 days?

Or maybe they'll release the new album on 100th day? And this album will be filled with the digital singles they released in the past months with one or two new tracks?

It might sound sad but I don't have any hope or enthusiasm for that countdown. Their strategy of promotion was so disastrous and disappointing in the past that I don't care at all. :/

We know who sponsored the pv

The countdown is finished.

They announced today, that they're changing labels from Nippon Columbia to Dolly Music.
We're getting a CD release next year because of that.
More information coming soon.

https://color-code.jp/diary/84061

Totally forgot about that. But that countdown thing is really laughable. I just hope that the band'll be promoted in a better way in their next label.

Just saw this on their FB :

レーベル移籍後第一弾シングルが4月4日(水)にリリース決定！！

You beat me with posting. :laugh

They're doing live performances to promote themselves for a while now and in May they're going to have two one-man live shows just for themselves.
I'm happy for a new physical release with it!

A new single is out today : 冬恋花火 / SCRAP & BUILD

All info

They've just dropped the PV for Maboroshi from the single:



They're voguing in it.

I have just seen on FB that they'll release their first full album : Re∂l

https://color-code.jp/store/329421?f...FA12N5R53NrSoM

At last!! Cant wait to see what they'll bring us!

Yes, finally the first album!
And they also dropped the MV for their lead song for the album!

The March has the theme of "marching to freedom".



Gonna make sure to buy the album.

I'm literally years late, but I finally listened to their album and it's pretty good! I really like their voices and they brought some good material. THE MARCH is such a stand-out, what a powerful song! And I'm really glad Star and Over The Dream found their way to the album. :heart It's so nice to see that they've kept going and releasing music.
