ll moments ll 8th February 2009 06:47 AM
"Synchronize" is a really good song!

i'll be looking forward to future releases. :yes

rookies 8th February 2009 07:06 AM
First post finally complete! Plus added the Synchronize PV on the second post! ^^

ll moments ll 8th February 2009 07:10 AM
i love the "Synchronize" PV!

what other songs would you recommend? i've only heard of "Synchronize" thus far. :D

rookies 8th February 2009 07:13 AM
^ I don't like his other songs to be honest. -___- LOL. So, I can't really recommend you any of his previous songs, since the music style is completely different from Synchronize. XD

But you can search for his PV's on youtube, and see which ones you like from there. XD

Solarblade 8th February 2009 12:45 PM
Yeah, his usual style is like rockish kind of stuff, but like his vocals are kind of weird in a few of them....I'd prolly suggest TAXI first then go to his other major singles.

Anyways....it'd be nice if someone uploaded the single, so I can try putting the two Synchronize's together.

Leo Imai interviewed by melody. @ J-MELO.

The whole interview is in English, so no worries about not being able to understand it. :)

Stuff I found from LEO's Thread @ JPM, credits to the folks there for the info.

Check out LEO's live of Synchronize at 代官山UNIT (2008.12.06). [WATCH]

I bought Synchronize single off iTunes this morning, and I love track 3. That alternative version of Synchronize sounds quite different because of the soft arrangements, the removal of auto-tune and the addition of backing vocals by Rie Fu.

Also, I've tried "synchronizing" track 1 and 3 as suggested by LEO's official website, and the experience was quite interesting...

Quote:
The next Club J-Melo looks like this:

Club J-MELO Vol. 7
