Is there any TV show left? Heyx3 ended, Popjam, Music Shower, lots of them ended

I think Music Station is the only one left...

Music Station, Love Music, Music Japan, CDTV, Buzz Rhythm, KANJAM, Melodix!, Music Fair, ... More than enough

So that limited edition single collection vol. 1 and 2 kuma USB is getting a wide release. It's up at yesasia and the likes. I'm really tempted...

Release date is March 9, 2016.

Damn, it's cheaper for me to use CDJ but I can't remember if they charge me immediately or when my order ships.

If you use a credit card they make the authorization immediately but they don't charge you until after it's been shipped. I think they make all their charges bi-weekly. I've had stuff shipped then not been charged until 2 weeks later. I could be wrong, but that's how it's worked for me.

[chocopockymaster]

^ when your order ships, iirc!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'm happy but I just have this feeling it'll be a ballad which woukd make me sad lol. Not that I don't like her ballads, they're fantastic. But it's just been extra long since something upbeat haha.

[hayasaki]

I wish there'd be a comeback tour or for the least a concert with two or three dates like what she did for Wild Life.

[Minttulatte]

So now the comeback is official? Well then...

I'M SO HAPPY I COULD DIE AND BE REVIVED JUST TO HEAR THIS NEW SONGGGGGGGG~~~~~~~~~~

I can't handle my excitement! ;_____;

Cover FLAVOR OF LIFE by 加治ひとみ
I know its old but its good
And i again realized how i miss Hikki

[amorphose]

More information on the new single should be coming soon. A little more than 30 days until this drama begins airing, right?

[bluegie]

Sigh... I thought new single's info was out...

[thinkingoutloud89]

a tie-in does no garant for a release. Miliyahs Megumi no Hikari was a theme song at the beginning of 2014 and just released in her album yesterday... and there are many other examples

[ahtka-chan]

^I think in Hikki's case, specially because she's been gone for so long, we're getting a digital single at least

But in the past, Stay Gold was used as a tie-in for Asience and it took a while for the song to be released in full

[amorphose]

^I thought the HEART STATION / Stay Gold single came out right around the time that commercial was being run?

I'll be really surprised if they don't do a physical release. Even if it's just a DVD single like Sakura Nagashi.

[ahtka-chan]

^I think the single dropped three or four weeks after the CM started running.

Also, it's (almost) confirmed that Hikki is releasing a new theme song for News ZERO on April 4th

All those rumors that came out last year are becoming true <3

I wonder if it applies to the rumors that said she was working on KH3 theme song

[amorphose]

So this is TWO new songs now! That's amazing. Both in just a month! Maybe that new album really will come out this Spring!

[bluegie]

I don't really care if she's going to release a phyiscal single or not. I just want to listen to her new music. We have been waiting too long for just a new song. Even 10 seconds of sample is welcomed...

I guess I've activated my panic mode now. It's getting near April and I can't wait longer...

[Zeke.]

I was going to say, wasn't Ayu renowned for her lyrics and utada not so much?

[Zeke.]

Well, on average, I think it was always believed that Ayu had more of a natural talent for writing as opposed to Utada. I think Utada has to put more effort into it. I actually remember reading in a few places that one of Utada's weaker points was her lyrics, which were said to be very general and less metaphorical.

And really, there is nothing wrong with comparing their lyrics. There are brands over 100 years old that people still draw comparisons between, so I see nothing wrong with discussing artists who compete within similar categories in a similar manner. I hate it when people get so butthurt over comparisons.

And I hate when comparisons turn into a "my diva is better than yours and your opinion doesn't matter", as it always turns.
