Open The NEXT DOOR To The 2nd Official GIRL NEXT DOOR Thread !
 

thanks karen! i actually never knew the birthdates of the other 2 members :laugh

to be honest I think yuji looks older than 30 =X

and yay for the new thread :D

& that probably explains why the guys always tend to take a backseat & let Chisa enjoy practically most of the limelight :laugh

errm... hi!? i just try them ( a long time ago, more specific), and i found they are GREAT. i love chisa, although i dont think all of the song of her was sang well, i still think that she has great potential to be one of the best singer!

and guess what, my fav from the album is...

*drum*

*boom*

i love Days... (interlude) :D it's one of the best melody i ever heard!

beside that, jounetsu no daisho, escape, etc are soo addicting lately!

I can't wait to get my copy of the album in due time :love

You know... not to sound rude or anything but I just thought that Suzuki really should get rid of his huge mole... sometimes it´s gross imo xDDDD

I really like their first album after listening to it. Lots of nice songs. ^^

:rofl

er you remembered when Enrique Iglesias removed his mole , his career practically went downhill after that ?

I hope that wouldn't happen in GND's case should Suzuki choose to do that

:yes I agree

Moles can be sexy... but it depends on the person... LOL.

:roflmao

well daisuke looks his age but not yuji =X
is it just me or on the pics the guys look like they have a lot of foundation on them? XD


I really need to download all the singles
there are 3 or 4 ?

:lmfao

:lmfao

just 3 singles :

- Guuzen no Kakuritsu
- Drive away / Shiawase no Jouken
- Jounetsu no Daishou / ESCAPE

Only Guuzen no Kakuritsu & ESCAPE are different in the album because of the interludes & as such , the melodies for both sogns are kinda connected after the interludes Days .... & NEXT DOOR are done

ahhhh k k k !
I will download the this weekend :)


XDDD @ the mole comment

I saw Winter Game being played on MTV Asia earlier on in the afternoon

cool :laugh

I like them. Winter Game and Drive Away are very nice songs, I must find time for other songs too. And I love their album cover, very unique :)

except Temmy I don't really like the CD + DVD cover that much , the CD only's beautiful <3

there's just something about SO many rabbits/bunnies in the CD + DVD cover that freaks me out in a way :dead2

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0m_c0b8f36.jpg

:dead2

For this week - **4 18,002 GIRL NEXT DOOR

you don't like the boots? :laugh
well something's sure: you don't wear them during winter where I live XD because they'll turn brown XDDD

well #4 is good :yes

yeah I don't like it , it's just weird on all levels :no

actually there're apparently 4 covers of their album in which the last one , they used this pic which's found in the CD only sleeves of the album :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...047musicLJ.jpg

I like that too <3

YES it has came earlier on from my Taiwanese friend Cliff :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_0921.jpg

:love , the centre's the CD while the right side's the slipcase & yes the photobook's included in which the pics are :no

I'm surprised that I gotten it earlier on when my dad came up after he checked the mailbox cos Cliff just mailed it like what on Tue ? :O

but still I will scan up the whole thing later on & I'm curious to see what's the difference between the normal & <MUSIC VIDEO-SPECIAL VERSION> of Winter Game

I will remember this purchase because I paid for it to Cliff on my birthday last Sat *deadpans*

==========

Scans of the CD + DVD inclusive of the photobook - http://www.mediafire.com/?2z1kbdmhnsz

LOL @ Chisa thanking her ice cream (her icecream?!?!) & Daisuke thanking his dog of all things T_T

& what's up with the whole being wrapped up with HUGE plastic wraps concept :dead2

=========

I just watched finished the <MUSIC VIDEO-SPECIAL VERSION> of Winter Game & the only difference's that the PV credits are aired after the PV's done

I think the PV was flimed in Alaska & LA as they credited people in the Alaska & LA units

wow & I thought all along the background for the ice mountains & etc are fake , it's actually the real thing on what you see in the PV :thud

White bunnies are scary LOL and somehow cool ~

I only find the pics in CD + DVD a-ok , they didn't blow me away that much unfortunately

but it's ok the music's more important :D

KarenPang, the scans you posted are cool, but there's one photo of Chisa where she looks so odd/awful XD

I think the CD version is the best :) Their music is good too, somehow they remind me of Do As Infinity <3

I think I will download the scans, cus I am curious what they look like.

Thanks KarenPang! :)

CD only scans - http://www.mediafire.com/?wjijlhjhdzo

credits - http://community.livejournal.com/7music

imo they're way better than the CD + DVD's that I have bought

^ checking those out too, thx.

thanks a lot for the scans karen :shughug

there is a PV for winter game?
didn't know that....*hides*

^ Yeah, there is, and the beginning part is so funny!

Winter Game PV below:

thanks a lot :D

edit:

karen, you thought the mountains were fake? :thud
:laugh at the end XDDD

The whole PV is really funny to watch, haha!

I remember I went skiing some time ago, but didn't like it, cus I thought it was really dangerous. ^^;

yes there's & it's the only album track to get a PV of its own in the album

yeah I really thought they're because I thought they might use a green screen as the background drop & just print screen & etc

guess not

well the part where you see her skiing (but singing) too, you are right it is fake
but the rest nope~~~
I need to send you some snow I think :P XD

dozo because it doesn't snow here at all :(

a bit off topic but I'm wondering which part of Canada you're living in according to http://www.worldtimeserver.com :shrug

XD but with snow goes the cold and I'm not sure you would like the -30°C of this morningXD

oh true I said it in the french thread only, I'm living in the same province as hazuki: the province of québec (east part of Canada)
where during winter we are freezing and having lots of snow XD


I was wondering about her saying thanks to her ice cream, it maybe her cat or dog?
or even the little name she gives to her boyfriend XD

ok thanks for that :)

no idea man , I was ???? when I saw that she thanked her icecream of all things :dead2

:laugh thank ou häagen-dazs for making my days prettier XDDDDDD

the dogs ok but Ice cream that, I don't get it XD

me neither it's just weird thanking your icecream of all things

I'm really enjoying the album. Reminds me of the days when I first really got into J-Pop and listened to a lot of the J-trance from ELT and dat. Great stuff.

I wonder whether can their album sales hit 200K in due time or not

^ I hope so. Too bad album sales are declining, as the economy is in a recession. :/

yeah but at least their album sales are higher than their singles

Yes, that is true. :yes

Which are your favourite GND songs?

single wise I still think 偶然の確率 is the best outta the whole lot followed by Jounetsu no Daishou

album tracks wise I say :

- Fine after rain
- Climber's high
- WINTER MIRAGE
- Breath (the 1st B-side in 偶然の確率)
- Winter Garden

^ OMG, I love Jounetsu No Daishou!! It's my favourite GND song.

And of course, WINTER GAME is very good too. <3

Chisa's so pretty in the beginning of the video :love

I didn't like Winter Game initally but I'm ok with it now , the PV's just :lmfao

The PV is so funny!!! The beginning was like a Western Christmas commercial. And the way that little girl used her toy like some voodoo doll, lol, it was kinda scary at times. XD

the part where's LOL is the ending where they said they throw in the 2 male dolls alongside with Chisa :roflmao

LOL!! I thought the ending was quite funny too, when she parachuted where the two guys were. It was kinda strange to be honest. o_O

:roflmao

that's so random & funny

& I thought Jounetsu no Daishou was random . The goat head still scares me :dead2

I haven't seen the Jounetsu no Daishou PV entirely in full, and only bits of it.

Here's the PV: (LOL, I'll have to watch it when I have some time)

the part where Chisa turned & was freaked out by that weird ghost head thing scares the hell outta me on 1st watch :dead2

I'll watch it later.

Do they use western people in their other PV's? I've seen a bit of this PV above, which has western people, and then the WINTER GAME PV has western people.

their 1st 2 yes because 偶然の確率 was flimed in LA & Las Vegas while for Drive away , it took place at some school with cheer leaders

Reminds me of Ayumi and Kumi PV's, where they use Western people in their PV's.

I think it's quite a tendency for avex artistes to do that but to what extent I don't know

I think so too.

Ayumi's TO BE PV was one of the first PV's I watched from her, and I was surprised to see western people in the PV.

GND didn't use foreigners in Jounetsu no Daishou & Winter Game except scenery wise it's definitely not in Japan

Do you know where the Winter Game PV was filmed at?

I looked like somewhere in North America to me, or perhaps in Europe?

erm I posted a page back saying that I suspect it might have been flimed in Alasaka & LA because I was watching the special version of it as I received my CD + DVD last Fri & they had the ending credits rolled out at the end of the video which's the only difference between the version uploaded on the net & the one I seen on the DVD

the same thing applies for Jounetsu no Daishou

Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like Alaska, because of the mountain and ski slopes. Hmm...

& to think initally I thought the whole mountain set up was fake :dead2

It looked real to me - it didn't really look fake at all.

well you never know lol but until I saw the credits for the PV , then I was convinced

What did it say in the credits?

they credited people in the LA & Alasaka Units respectively who were responsible for putting together the Winter Game PV

Ahhh... so it was probably filmed in those locations.

Speaking of ending credits, I saw the one for Kumi's Show Girl PV, and it listed her as almost everything behind all the work of the PV. o_O Thought that was quite funny, and hilarious, haha!

Quick question: Is the lead singer half Japanese?

half? i always assumed chisa is full :shrug

I think her boots are ok on the other hand the " bow tie" on the head is awful!

Yeah, she does look very Japanese.

^ yeah sometimes she does but sometimes she looks half, or rather 1/4. Maybe full Asian but half Japanese like yuna ito? She looks very JapaneseAmerican even on the cover of drive away.

I always thought that she was full japanese!
I think we are most info about her in the future because she won't vanish! GND releases great music & people love them.

Yeah we will have to wait and see! 9Just a side note Im not saying she is I was wondering if she is).

yes I know. I just meant that the fact she can be half japanese never cross my mind!

what are the total album sales?

now that you mention it , no idea

Chisa looks pure Japanese to me

The album is certfied Platinum by RIAJ for shipment of 250K copies - http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/200812.html

wow it's great for a first album!

thanks Karen for info

this pic has been added to the 1st post because it's just too pretty for words :

:love

*10位　10,027　GIRL NEXT DOOR

total so far - 199,194

next week to hit 200K :D

^ She does look really pretty in that pic.

OO wow this pic is so beautiful & such a long dress she wears!
If there iwasn't a stepladder, I would think she floats in the air!

Congratulations ^^ It's a good album after all!^^

It will probably break 200k next week, congrats to them.

seriously that pic would have make a waaaay better album cover for their album especially the CD + DVD

I definitely agree.

But hmm... the ladder needs to be removed though, otherwise it wouldn't look nice.

lol you can't expect Chisa to be sitting on the tree isn't it Tracy ? :laugh

Maybe she can sit on a branch that's strong enough to support her? Lol.

LOL :laugh

it beats wearing that terrible bunny suit anyway :dead2

I didn't like that suit either. :/

the worst thing's that the back cover of the album is :dead2

who's the sad sod that rates this thread 1 star :grumpy

What does the back cover look like? Ohh, I want to see! ^^ I might have seen it before though, can't remember.

well you can download the scans of the CD + DVD which I posted on here a few pages ago

just type my username on the search function of the thread & you're good to go from there

Ok, I will, thx!

Chisa's role was quite brief in the beg of Uta no Oii-san

it was quite heartbreaking when she dumped Ohno :shakehead but the upside's that she looked pretty :laugh

^ How is her acting skills so far? Good?

i think she's pretty okay. she didn't get alot of lines yet, so i'll keep watching to see chisa progress.
