[SPYAIR] The 1st thread ~ 17th single アイム・ア・ビリーバー (21.10)

[KarenPang]

SPYAIR is a Japanese rock band formed in 2005. All of their older releases are permanently out of print as they were self-published and never sold in stores. They used to hold street lives in Nagoya fairly often, which is where they sold their music. The name SPYAIR was determined in one shot by the members, which came from the word spyware, a type of computer virus.

SPYAIR debuted under the indie label, U-PROJECT and switched to Sony Music Associated Records in 2010.

i'm not the only one who likes SPYAIR !
my 2 favourites singles are JAPANICATION and SAMURAI HEART!!
i really like IKE's voice

[sesshy]

YEEEEEEEEE. You got the thread up! XD And the title is better than mine too. orz

Anyway, I love this band. They got me instantly hooked after I heard their theme song for Bleach. Then started following them. Ugh, these guys seriously needs some love because they're really awesome! I can't wait for their first album!

http://twitter.com/#!/SPYAIRSTAFF Here's their staff Twitter
http://twitter.com/#!/SPYAIR_ENZEL ENZEL (DJ)'s Twitter. I think he's the only one with a Twitter account. I thought IKE had one...

Also... if you're into J-rock, you might know T.M.Revolution's Inzuma Rock Festival he holds every year in Shiga. SPYAIR will perform live there. I'm really excited they'll be there!

[KarenPang]

haha yay for people on here who knows SPYAIR *O*

I'm still listening to their stuff but what I've heard so far , it's very promising

I can't believe my sister said they sounded like flumpool o_O . SPYAIR I feel are much more harder sound wise & also they're ... loud XD

My sister 1st know them via BEAUTIFUL DAYS because she's watching Don Quixote . So when I told her SPYAIR also contributed songs to Bleach & Gintama , she was like really ?!?! o_o

Anyway looks like they will be on loop in my mp3player the next few days & IKE is really cute ;__; @_@

[tenshi no hane]

I looooove Samurai Heart (thanks to Gintama XD). Maybe I should try out some of their other songs~

[sesshy]

^ Listen to Beautiful Days single. And Japanication!

KarenPang: XDD I love Flumpool, but they don't sound nothing like SPYAIR (to me...) Let's hope for their success. When the single releases... man you have a hard time finding their music online. O_o

[KarenPang]

my sister said that SPYAIR's music sounds like flumpool & Weaver to her but nah to me , SPYAIR sounds NOTHING like flumpool , no damn way at all hahaha

I downloaded all their singles except for LIAR which I'm not able to find ._. but what I have heard of SPYAIR the past hour or so , it's very promising

They're quite experimental also which's great , it will be boring to do just normal rock sounds , I'm glad they mix things up with other genres in their music besides rock

I'm hoping that Rockin' the World will get an OS press man because ugh , 21st Sept is not a good day to release albums , if you know what I mean ;D

[tenshi no hane]

I just listened to Beautiful Days & Last Moments and I love them

[KarenPang]

my 1st exposure to SPYAIR was hearing/seeing a bit of the BEAUTIFUL DAYS PV on CDTV , just before CDTV played the live version of BREAKERZ's GO from their BREAKERZ 4th Anniversary LIVE WISH03 in NIPPON BUDOKAN concert XD

but yeah BEAUTIFUL DAYS is really fantastic ! On Coming Soon , lead singer IKE said that this's the song that really pushed their popularity up & who can't blame them , the song's great

Somemore it's used in the Don Quixote drama that stars Koike Teppei & Shota Masuda *___*

In fact in Coming Soon after SPYAIR performed for the 1st time where they did BEAUTIFUL DAYS , all 5 members introduced themselves in a weird manner in that after they mention their name , they will state what kind of business their families have xD

1 of them mentioned grape vineyard business which I think it's IKE xD while there was another 1 that said his familiy runs a ramen shop

SMAP's Nakai was like ~_~ & told SPYAIR off after this LOL

[NintendoHTF1242]

Saw them reviewed on Solarblade's blog. I thought the main singer was cute lol. I need to check out some of their music.

[KarenPang]

I saw SPYAIR performed BEAUTIFUL DAYS on Coming Soon

yes , IKE is really cute & so's UZ ;__;

gaa *guffaws

anyway I'm still in the midst of listening to their stuff & they sound really good

Who knows , maybe I might make a decision to get Rockin' the World , especially since the release date is drawing near www

[Solarblade]

LOL omg, I saw my name here and had to comment....yeah I don't think SPYAIR sounds anything like flumpool or WEAVER...

also they have more releases Karen....those are just major label releases ^_^

[KarenPang]

haha yes I saw their website yesterday & I realised that they do have a few indie releases before they went major with LIAR ;D

I'm still pondering if I should get Rockin' the World but this will mean more $ will fly outta my bank account nooooo @_@ T_T

[Solarblade]

agreed, I really am liking this band between them and ONE OK ROCK, I've been gettin' into more rock bands of recent times ^_^

[adantatu2]

My first time listening their music was with the ending of Bleach "Last Moment".
for me SPYAIR sounds like UVERworld, because flumpool is less rocker, XD,LOL !

[KarenPang]

So after watching the PVs for their 1st 5 singles , all I can say's ....

IKE IS SO CUTE , WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;__________;

XD XD XD XD XD XD

[YuriChan]

^He is so freaken adorable!

[KarenPang]

LMAO yeah I know , IKE is really cute which kind of embarassed me , especially when I find myself staring unusually hard at him in the PVs , noooooo ;____;

XD

[YuriChan]

Oh my... Two of the band members likes B'z! IKE And KENTA!!!

[KarenPang]

man I can't believe Rockin' the World will finally get released next week *____*

I'm still pondering if I should get the album as Sept's really X.X for me but then again , I would like to have the PVs of their 1st 5 singles in DVD rip so 8D

BEAUTIFUL DAYS *___*
