[HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR] 4th Album "ROCK PIT"

Okay this hasn't really been confirmed on their official website or anything, but I found out about this threw HandMC's thread in JPM and the INSOMNIA forums. It says their brand new 4th Album entitled [ROCK PIT] will be released on March 19.

Here's a few CD sites that've posted up about it
play-asia
CD Universe

Funny though, according to CD Universe it says it releases March 25 still not too sure what's the exact release date.

But the good news is, we get more heavy rock songs from HandMC!! Well...I hope lol... the title kinda gives off a big hint doesn't it?

Still I have a feeling it might bring the sales for their single, FLASHBACK/Komorebi no Uta down >.<. Especially since Komorebi no Uta doesn't even have a PV!! >.<##

Well, that's it for now, I'll be back with more info on the album later on. Cyaz ^.^V

[KCB] A Rize(preview version) Fan-made Lyrics

Hi again...yeah yeah I should be continuing the PROGLUTION review, but I'll do that some other time cuz I'm feelin kinda lazy right now ^^;;

So for today, me and a friend (Aine) have been listening to KCB's [A Rize] over and over again and we've managed to put together these lyrics. They might not be accurate or make sense cuz we only listened to the words by ear, and the vocalist Jaehee's korean accent is kinda still thick so the pronunciation might be still off. Anywho, here we go!

KCB [A Rize] (Short-preview version)

teishokyuu chyou sho kokoro wa [whooah whooah]
chansuu wo[ wake up] tera tsumaino
chi sarayume* nigiri hibe [whooah whooah]
ARE u READY? Ok!

iete kuru darou [face up the stage ride a wave ] (That english part might be wrong..not sure)
shioke zereta tsuku tsutei [i know where to go] kiga shita
kana ita ii yume ku tewo urasu rojiura
Kinou e made no ii kami eiga o ni kaete
atarashii jibun wo mitsu ga deshita kunde
Sekami kure at your will [yeah yeah yeah]
TACHIAGARE~ SEKAMI KURE~ [yeah]x2

*the chi sarayume part, after listening to it a few times I have a feeling it might be chiisana yume....again, still not too sure ^^;;

[ORANGE RANGE] New site layout+previews for kimi station's b-sides

Hey hey, back here for another update! Thanks to the good people over at JPM Forums who pointed this out. Turns out orangerange.net has updated their layout!!

So if you head over there you'll be greeted by the wonderful sound of kimi station! Not only that, previews of the two b-sides of the kimi station single, Powder Beats and (仮)ラララ.

Go check em out k?? In my opinion I really REALLY like Powder Beats. Very fast-paced and hyper!! As for (仮)ラララ, it's slightly more toned down, but very catchy!! I really can't wait for the single to come out ^^. Hope ORs rankings go up for this one. ;)

[KCB] New Music Up!!

KATCHAN is BACK!! XD

Yeah, sorry to interrupt my PROGLUTION review, but this's important news!!

For all those Katchan fans (more like fangirls lol), I'm guessing you guys have heard of his new band KCB. Well just a reminder to everyone, remember to check their official website DAILY! They always update their blog with good stuff!

And this time, they've added a short preview together with a PV, of their new single [A RIZE] which is most likely to be released around spring 2008. Check it out! ;)

KCB Official Website

A Rize PV

In my opinion, the song's pretty catchy! It's really upbeat and stuff. Not a big fan of JAEHEE's vocals but I guess it'll need a little time to get used to. Lol I have a feeling Katchan did a little bit of support vocals in this one (if you notice in the PV, he's been given a mic with his drums) lol I hardly see him having a mic when he was back with OR...*sigh* still miss the good ol days when Katchan was in ORANGE RANGE >.<>

[UVERworld] PROGLUTION Review

CDJapan
YesAsia

Okay I know it's kinda late, since this album was released in December after all. But I love it so much! I've always wanted to do a full blown review on it!! ^o^ So here it goes!!

1st Track~ Roots
Aha...we kick off the first track with Takuya's strong voice screaming out the lyrics (well I consider that screaming cuz it gave me a shock the first time I heard the song XD) The beat was catchy...not to mention a great quality PV. I just found Taku's voice a little too screechy...he should learn to control it a little more >.>. My fav part from this song was around the middle i think...not sure how to explain the part, well around 2.12 in the song...the whole rap part XD. To sum it all up, it's a great fast-paced song to start off the album with, listening to it makes me wanna think all positive and stuff XD.

2nd Track~Brand new ancient
hmm and here we have the second song, brand new ancient...lol kinda oxymoron-ish title huh? One think i liked about this song was the starting...then it kicked off to a yet another positive jumpy beat...then Takuya started talk-rapping >.<...kinda ruins the song, the rest of it is nice if Takuya had just dropped that boring talk-rapping!! GAAH!! All I have to say is that they managed to maintain that happy happy positive mood in this song ^.^

3rd Track~Ukiyo CROSSING
Yaay~~ Ukiyo CROSSING! Again UVERworld has still maintained the positive note! ^_^ To me this song's kinda cute lol, with lyrics like 'knock knock knock myself' and 'a-lo-lo-lone' XD. I kinda love/hated the PV a little, it reminded me of SHAMROCK...well the song itself does have that whole SHAMROCK feel to it lol. I kinda like how Takuya's voice flowed with the song, still a bit screechy, but not as bad as Roots XD. The lyrics I guess are kinda meaningful, "We're on a crossing to choose", we all have to choose our own paths in life and stuff like that...I'm guessing that's what the song's about...XD haven't read the translations yet. Overall love this song, it's a fun song to dance/jump around happily along to ^^

4th Track~Byouteki Kikyuu Nikki
Tragically!! lol no, I'm not saying that the song's tragic XD. Somehow I always think that Takuya's singing "tragic peace" instead of "tragically" lol. Well i guess from this song, the happy beat kinda drops a notch and it slows down a little...just a teensy little bit. I guess by now, everyone's gotten warmed up to the album, so we take it slow for awhile lol. But still, not too into this song, sounds too typical UVER to me...so meh, nothing new here.

5th Track~counting song-H

XD I love the beginning of this song!!! Taku's voice is awesome!! At the beginning, you think UVER has sunk lower in their happy beat level....but then BAM!! It speeds up slightly....and when you come to the chorus....the happy level peaks up again!!! BWAHAHA! I love songs like this!!!! ^_^ One of my favs from this album definately! Not only Taku's voice...but the music! The drums,bass and GUITARS!! I like how everything just comes together with Takuya's voice!! And I really really love the drumming parts at 1.41 of the song! My advice is to listen to it with headphones on...it rocks!!! ^o^V XD You can tell with the amount of exclamation marks and emoticons that i'm hyper now and really really love this song huh? :P

6th Track~Shaka Beach~Laka laka la~(album ver.)
Aaaand we drop again for awhile, with Taku singing "lonely, lonely..." XD sorry if this is a little biased, but somehow I got kinda bored of this song...and the so-called 'album version' of this ain't helping. Still you can hear the happiness beat in the chorus peak up again, but still meh, I'm personally just bored of this song and usually skip it XD, no offense to those who love the song though...hmm fav parts...well wen Taku says "laka laka love" sounds kinda cute lol...and of course that acoustic guitar switch to electric guitar part rocks. :)

7th Track~GROOVY GROOVY GROOVY
MWAHAHA MY FAV SOOONG!!! From happy happy...UVER totally switches the mood to HEAVY ROCK!!! With those amazing guitar riffs, heavy bass, fast paced drumming...and Takuya singing "CATS CATS CATS!!" XD I dunno I remembered reading that in the JPM thread for UVERworld..and yea it does kinda sound like he's sayin CATS CATS CATS XD. Lol this is a great song to do some head banging to or if you need a little boost of energy! A truly amazing song!! It should be used for an opening theme for an anime or something lol.


And here's that point where I'm too tired to type ^^;;...well the rest of the songs are probably fillers or something, I'll get to reviewing them in Part 2 of my review!!! Till then, stay tuned ;)

[ORANGE RANGE] Kimi Station

Okay here we go!!

In this post I'll talk about Kimi Station!! OR's new single!!!!

Kimi Station
Artist: ORANGE RANGE
Release Date: 05.03.08
Tie-ins: Theme for the J-dorama Loss:Time:Life
BUY IT!!: CD Japan
YesAsia

Well I listened to the PV-rip, watched the PV...and I just LOVE it!!! It's a little too dramatic for OR, but I guess they did it that way to fit the drama they were doing the theme for.

If you guys notice once you listen to it, Ryo's part (usually would be the most emotional part) was a little toned down, I guess he suppressed it a little, if not the song would turn too overly-dramatic. Lol you guy's will know what I mean once you give it a listen.

Other than that, I'd have to say Yamato's begining part was sooooo different! I mean, he went more for a mid-range rather than his usual hi-range (hello, yama! You're the hi-vox not mid-vox XD).

Well here it is then, the PV for the great Kimi Station!! XD


Online Videos by Veoh.com

Hm what I like about this PV the most is that there's an actual story going on here (well...sort of lol). Naoto calls up his friends to meet up, but they're all busy, but in the end they come running to him and blah blah blah...it's really touching though T_T.

Some funny parts here though, Naoto's exspression when Ryo hangs up on him, Hiroki getting a shock when he ran into that small white dog...lol and Yoh driving up in the van while everyone's running huffing and puffing XD.

Well enough of me talking, enjoy the PV!! And remember to buy the single! I have a feeling the b-sides, "Powder Beats" and "Lalala" are gonna be two fun songs! ^^

And whoever wants a PV-rip of the song, I have it. Just comment here first and I'll send it to you :)

First Post!!
