oh hey thanks for the vid!! I want to learn it!! I hope to see AKB next year!!

I'm starting to love SKE more!! They have some really good songs! I think Nakanishi Yuka is my oshi (even though I used to think she was the ugliest girl ever) I've changed my mind

[Amrai-chan]

Cool I hope it helps.

I should get into SKE more. I've been watching some of their performances but I haven't found a oshi yet.



DiVA was on Music Japan.

[adantatu2]

thanks for the performance of DiVA

[Amrai-chan]

I don't think she's ugly. She seems nice.

[sugarbasil]

OK, enough with the name-calling, guys.

[OogoeDiamond]

that frame on DiVA MJ performace IS so annoying...

[dreamland2.0]

^
^I think it's Waratte Iitomo.

[Amrai-chan]

I agree about the frame on the DiVA performance.

Singapore Miichan, Takamina, Yuko, Sae-chan and Moeno have a message for you!





Though none of the major front girls are coming to the first concert maybe they will in the future.

[dreamland2.0]

Ahhh their English is so cute!!! I want to live in Singapore!! ;____;

[OogoeDiamond]

^ THIS SO MUCH

[Amrai-chan]

Seriously. ;_;

What do you all think of Wanna be now? It's obviously not nearly as good as Dear J, but I like it and I'm happy she went with another dance song. I just really can't stand how the tempo changes for the chorus. It just seems like a bad idea in song-making.

LODs are live with maybe some playback but let us see here's No Sleeves and Takamina. There's also the video that Polyrhythm posted.

The tempo change is not good but other than that I like the song.

I hope DiVA does well.

[Ranma Matsuri]

^Thanks for posting that no3b performance, I haven't gotten around to seeing much of their lives but that further affirms my belief that they're the best sounding sub-unit.

Don't see DiVA outselling Perfume or KATTUN (and maybe Kana) but they'll do fine.

I was pretty disappointed from the preview in the CM (see my rant in the single thread at S48 XD) but thankfully, the version in the CM must have been an "incomplete" version because the production and vocals sound so much better and not as mis-matched. After listening to the full a few times, it's much better and a lot catchier for me than Dear J was and that's partly due to the tempo change in the chorus. It's positively addictive.

Ai no Piercing sounds ok-ish, not really leaving an impression on me yet need to hear a clearer version.

[dreamland2.0]

^I agree with all you said. It's a good song, not as cool as Dear J and the tempo changes are funny. Still pretty good though!

DiVA's Ninki is pretty good.

03 81.40 DiVA - Tsuki no Uragawa

I hope they sell more than that though.

[bondingo]

^Does that mean 81k?!

TOMOCHIN EDIT POST:

EDIT: BTW they made a special site for Tomochin's EMOBILE CM: http://emobile.jp/tomo/

INCREDIBLE


EDIT 2: SVDHGASFDVGHDR This video has a preview midway of Ai ni Pierce and it sounds AMAZING: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-UC...&feature=feedu

Definitely even better than Wanna be now.

[Polyrhythm]

^That doesn't mean anything. THey could sell more, they could less.

[bondingo]

^If they don't mean anything, then what's the point? Generally, how accurate are they?

[Polyrhythm]

They're generally accurate for the first few positions, not sales. It's a popularity survey. NINKI never predicts sales, and sometimes they even get the rank wrong. Classic example, alan's Ai wa Chikara ranked #1 on NINKI. It charted at #90 something.
