[Leo Ieiri] ♬♪♫ the 1st thread

[Bigtop]

To be honest, we haven't been really willing to update this at a timely manner. I know I follow Leo Ieiri a bit, but it's just that I haven't been really motivated to update this thread as of now...

(And still the YouTube Red issues as any YouTube video involving Victor Music artists is blocked stateside and probably anywhere else YouTube Red is offered, and unfortunately Leo is part of it. This YouTube Red thingy still bugs us even after eight months. (>_<))

The new album WE has been released I'll update the first post

[Maemi]

Guys do you like the new album? Somehow I find it to be weaker than her previous ones and I love them all.

[AyuGAME]

^Same here...weaker than her previous album..lot of unnecessary filler songs

even the A-side not really supporting the album

[YUKARI]

poor Ieiri Leo, she was so promising back in 2012

[Bigtop]

Is it just me, or is one part of my brain thinking I'm a bit bored with Leo Ieiri these days (along with too many musicians that I follow)...?

[Maemi]

^ we can't really know that but yeah, the new album is not as strong as the previous ones.

[dreamalley]

*clears cobwebs* yelloooooooow!

I discovered Ieiri Leo through a japanese drama.

I was watching "N no tame ni" and her song "Silly" was the main song.

It was a really good drama (and it won tons of awards that year) and there was a really heartbreaking love story. "Silly" just fit in so nicely there and I loved it.

[Miduhyo]

Ooooh! I like how you included the link to the dramaaaaa~~ now I know what to watch next.

And I love Silly. i haven't listened to her much but I do remember pretty much every lyric to that song.

Whoa, whoa, wait a second. There was a new album? Anyone got the link?

[AyuGAME]

Yeah Silly is a strong song..N no tame ni is a good drama as well

[Maemi]

Wow this thread is really dead Too bad...

[Earth_maiden]

Has she released anything after her 5th anniversary best? I got the DVD version with the video clips, I like having collections like that.

[Bigtop]

Yeah, we need to keep this alive...here's what happened since the 5th anniversary best album that released back in February of this year:

• Budokan live on 30 April (and DVD/Blu-ray released on 26 July)
• Single 'Zutto, Futari de' released on 26 July
• Zepp lives on September
• Leo also stars on TV Tokyo late-night drama 'Shinjuku Seven' (that also stars a KAT-TUN member)

And this just in recently - new song called 'Relax', being used for LINE's Clova WAVE AI speaker (much to the likes of the Amazon Echo or something):



Gosh, why wasn't anybody updating this thread? Busy lives like me or somethign?

[Maemi]

I was kinda disappointed in the last album so I wasn't following her releases. Thanks for the update

[Earth_maiden]

I'm in love with 'Relax', it's so edgy and different to her usual ballady songs.

[Bigtop]

Seriously, this thread needs to be updated more often, considering the fact that Leo's about to release an album - "TIME" - this week...

Is anyone here going to contribute? Honestly, I don't have the time to do so.

[Maemi]

I'll update the first post later but this thread has had three pages for three years already, people are not interested so there's no point really

[axmish87]

After Leo every subsequent release was underwhelming for me. Singles were okay for the most part but albums felt like they were filled with filler songs. Too bad because she was so promising at the start of her career. LEO is still her best album for me. Every release after LEO felt more mellow or safe to say the least. Now she is like Kana Nishino 2.0.
Relax is okay

[Maemi]

I like the first three albums on the whole. Then she released WE and I was like meh... such an underwhelming release after those three masterpieces.

I just listened to TIME's previews and they all sound boring.
