Well these are the releases which I'm REALLY interested in for January and DEFINITELY plan to get. ^_^ Hope this is helpful to some people.

That shimatani hitomi cover looks pretty Goth compared to her others! =0 the song names sounds pretty though!

thanks!! ^__^

Ai Otsuka also has an album cut single coming out...

...must...buy...melody.'s single. *wants badly* I'm not really looking forward to winds as avidly as my friends is...

Shimatani Hitomi looks so nice. =]

I like the Rie fu and Hitomi covers. For some reason Hitomi's cover reminds me of an RPG character.

no ayu???

Nope no Ayu releases! It's only been less than a week since [ MY STORY ] Give her some time ^_^

Anyways THANKS leafy for the other releases! I REALLY LOVE the covers to DAT's singles and Nami Tamaki's even though I'm not a large fan of eithers...

I'm personally looking REALLY forward to w-inds. release since I LOVED the song and PV! Their getting better with each release honestly. Well I can't say that I love 'Yume no Bashou e' better than 'Shiki' though...

Oh and Phantoma, I'm SO EXCITED for melody.'s release too! I'll have to order it online since Kinokuniya doesn't carry her which stinks. Well they had her 'Sincerely' album but never got in her 'Believe me' single which IS her BEST song to date.

I'm going to do some February releases soon...

KAGRRA 2 new single
on sale 2/2/05
http://img153.exs.cx/img153/6128/newcd8na.jpg

*can't wait*
the real cd cover is printing

w-inds. always have such nice clothes, nice cover.

But I'm definately looking forward to Rie-fu's album! Didn't know she had one coming.

also a new koda kumi album, new elt album, new dai album

ooo the Shimatani Hitomi cover looks cool.

The release im probably most interested out of all of them is the Kagrra single, im looking forward to that, i love Kagrra ^___~

And new Sasagawa Miwa album, "amata", coming out 19th Jan. I'm probably one of the very few here who listen to Sasami but I'm really looking forward to it. =)

ou. the Hitomi cover looks nice.
and i'm waiting for Koda's album too.

i can't wait for koda kumi's new album!! i'm lovin' her new stuff :D

And *cough* L'Arc~en~Ciel's new single that is out in january.. it's called "Killing Me.".. Woo, angstic rock song? Hope so :D

Gackt's new album comes out in february. No cover art, title, ot tracklisting yet, though. >.<

A new Miwa Sasagawa album *_* I want it ^^;

I very excited for the new Kagrra, singles. I suppose Ill pick one of them up after Xmas.

There's more info at their official site: www.pscompany.co.jp/kagrra,/ including covers for both singles, and track smples, PV clip/CM thinger...

Kagrra,
New Live DVD (I cant read the kanji ><)
30.03.2005

YAY!!!!

And new Hirahara Ayaka single out 26th Jan. Titled "ashita". I wonder if it's a re-release, since she already has a song called "ashita". It'll be the theme song for a Fuji Television Network drama, "yasashii jikan".

New Kuraki Mai single on the same day as well, titled "Love, needing".

New angela single on the 26th, titled "mirai to yuu na no kotae". The anime fans will be pleased.

New Takei Shiori single on the 19th Jan, titled "kimi wo shiranai machi e". Good, more Shiori. I like her brand of GIZA jazz more than Aoki Hikari's. And following the trend of her Indies mini-album, here comes another mini-album one year after her debut, aptly titled "The note of my nineteen years" to be released on the same day as well.

New dorlis single on the same day as well.

And DAI's being cheap and re-releasing all 5 of their albums as limited-edition low price re-releases on 16th Feb. They all come with cardboard sleeves. Screw Avex, I say.

...Hey, I could get finally get BREAK OF DAWN. Thats not a Overseas version. And cheap is always good.

avex is re-release crazy lately aren't they?

EXILE is just being crazy...they'll be releasing 3 BEST albums

Except for the fact the originals of BREAK OF DAWN, NEW WORLD and DEEP FOREST and TRUE SONG already had cardboard sleeves. :rolleyes

And by the way, BREAK OF DAWN OS Ver comes with a VCD with the 'Raven' and 'Yesterday and today' PVs.

And yes, screw Avex. I still cannot be bothered buying a TRUE SONG to complete the collection.

They've done it again ><;;

...and don't forget their new album, BOULDER, which is released approximately two weeks later:
そして1月26日には6thアルバム「BOULDER」がリリース

*thud* I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT CHIECO KAWABE'S RELEASE! I'm totally LOVING her and I usually don't like female Idol singers but everyone of Chieco's songs so far have really been amazing. I totally LOVE her latest single 'Shining', so I'll be sure to pick this one up.

Hitoto-san where art thou? =|Please please I want a new song... ._.

Soon, I guess, BrightLight. Soon. Although I'm quite sure she can live on the money she got from "HANAMIZUKI" and "hitoshian" for at least half a year more. And "HANAMIZUKI" is still selling. ^^;;

dang it...i bought all of DAI's albums separately..o_o....i want a sleeve for GoH though..><

oh yea!!!
now i can buy the dai albums since i don't have any of them..
and they're limited too :D

I'm looking forward to gackt's new single "arittake no ai de", his new album "love letters", Laruku's "killing me", nakashima mika's new single, and kagrra's new singles.

I hope she didn't wear weird clothes again on the concert, or I better be prepared. >_< With that said, my patience can still last for about half a year, and meanwhile it'll be all good for me to fully digest the materials from "hito omoi", plus I've yet to hear any single B-sides of hers... ^^;;

Yeah, Chieco is so great. <3 I was just on her site, and it says her first album, 'brilliance,' will be released 3/16! It comes in regular CD and limited CD+DVD versions.

I'm also looking forward to Biyuuden's second single coming in March! =D

Oh yeah right after your post I visited her site too hahaha and yeah I decided I'm just going to get her 'Brilliance' album instead of the singles.

Oh Biyuuden... not a big fan of them ^^;;

*ish undboutedly excited* After DISORDER they've certainly been picking up steam. It's actually making me so proud ;_; fansites opening up left and right...

lovely signature and ava set ^v^V



And regarding what some people above have said about Gackt... I just can't wait for the album x.X All these ballads are starting to make me twitchy. Someone told me this:

"everyone keeps accusing Gackt of selling out just because he's been writing ballads lately. Leave the man alone- he's lonely!"

Well- I don't know if he's lonely- or whether or not he's selling out-- but please... faster music. PLEASE! Pick up the pace, man!

Yeah, any group led by Rika is :rolleyes

I have no idea if Gackt is selling out or anything but ballads are DEFINITELY his specialty! I LOVE LOVE LOVE 'Kimi ni Aitakute' so if he takes his time and puts out beautiful ballads like this, I do not mind AT ALL.

what about the h!p releases? i know that momusu is releasing a new single next month, THE MANPOWER! (it's so cool, it's like evil mario <3) Unless we aren't talking about h!p releases? Also, Rhythm Zone is releasing a "best of" album, which will feature Koda Kumi, Exile, and m-flo among others! <333

I'm sorry if someone posted this already, but here's pics from aiko's website of her new album and single...I really like these covers, and was wondering if anyone has samples or a couple tracks. If the songs are similar to the ones on her last album, I'll definetely buy it sometime good... :)
