yeees. It's a nightmare to search for D's threads xD but in this case (1 letter), I don't know if there is a solution.

 

 

^yes to this . And not only in tags, but in the titles thread too. Not everyone can speak japanese ffs.

But what about this:

• And finally, please do not tag either the release title or artist. These are both searchable through the topic title of each post, respectively.

shiiiit! xDDD

In some cases tagging artists' name is the only way to find their releases later. For example you can tag 3 letters long bandnames (And, Sid) (btw I think D could also be tagged like that), this also works for bands with widely used names (Link). I don't think tagging artists' names or releases hurts someone, so it was a good suggestion.

Reporting in.

To be able to activate itunes 3 month free trial you need a credit card atteched to your profile or sum of money at your acc equal to 1 month subscription fee.

So I couldn't activate Apple Music with my japanese itunes account.

Next. Starwave bands are available.

Planet child bands are on itunes, but are not available at AM.

Also available at AM:

Please, can someone figure out a way to make a Japanese Apple Music account or if it's even possible? That's something I would definitely subscribe to.

I thought you listen to it via iTunes with your usual itunes account. I haven't tried it myself yet.

So japenese itunes account might work. I'll try if it works in the evening.

Yeah btw EMS will be cheaper http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems3_en.html

4200 yen - from 1 to 1.5 kg. Way too much. Ask them the weight of your order.

 

It sounds like a member is leaving. Literally all they've said is

 

※引退式典が御座います。 

(There will be a retirement ceremony.)

 

"Retirement" is usually only used to mean someone's leaving the industry; it's really unlikely that it's a reference to the whole band.

 

Thanks for the info.

Yeah it would be kinda weird if they disbanded after opening web shop.

Are there any ideas who's retiring?

What does the "Retirement Ceremony" mean? Someone leaves or they are disbanding or maybe something else?

First it's useless to rely on people honesty. One person is enough to upload a release.

But the moral part here that you shouldn't upload stuff if the band you respect ask not to.

Yeah it's 2015. Discovering bands has become easier. Every band has website and most of them provide previews of upcoming releases so you can decide if you wanna buy it.

Thanks to @Trombe we can learn a lot about newly formed bands and their release dates. Try, decide, buy.

And yeah music isn't free. It's weird to see how people claim something they want to be free should be free for real. Music is intellectual property and the result of efforts put into it. So no wonder bands are pissed when their releases are shared. I would've be pissed too if my ideas or results of works were shared to everyone besides my will.

Yeah it's hard to get your hands on every release and buy everything, but I think people should support bands they like.

Strange that noone spoke about Nocturnal Bloodlust yet.

Calling your live "An End" when you're on the edge of disbanding is ..eh.. silly.

Also if band cannot gain enough attendants such blackmailling conditions won't work forever.

The problem is.. I don't have physical cd player anymore at all....

 

So maybe someone can burn that CDimage on a CD to try it inside a physical player? XD

 

 

Maybe this copy was kinda.. damaged or something by pressing it.

 

If I put  JDA dolls inside it has the same .exe file stuff on the CD.  but that CD doesn't have a hidden track, and I don't have any other JDA single with hidden tracks, so I cannot check it out.

The 3rd track as we call it is hidden inside another cd session - it is common for protected cds to have 2 sessions. http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/~haahrm/copying-protected-cds/

There are two sessions like on your screenshot, but all the extractable stuff must be alltogether in one of sessions. And it's only 2 tracks there.

But of course everything depends on protection types as there are several types.

Are you really sure there is a hidden track?

For example this jda selling post http://xrielx.livejournal.com/32171.html

I see info about hidden tracks only once - at Gekkouka single. And your cd is Freedom, right?

Well. I think it's an interesting problem to solve.

First of all: EAC sees 3 tracks - 2 normal and 3rd one is like data tracks which cannot be extracted. 3rd track is like 630 MB

IsoBuster says: No file-system nor files or folders can be found - I think it's normal since cd is protected. It suggests serach for lost files and the result is: 2 files found by sgnature mp3s.

First one is about 50 MB, second 585 MB. It extracts only 2 first songs

After this I became even more curious. I've installed vmware player and used WinXP wmware image. So the player opened, but it displays 2 tracks only:

Are you sure about the third track?

Did you try to play it on physical cd player?

It's like Reign, but Disreign.

No matter how painfully this D with 2 lines reminds me of DIV logo (Haha! Looks like shopped you'll say) but according the twitter they were preparing long ago. Of course if it isn't faked.

1st april is certainly not the best date to announce a release.

Also lold at Kakashi sensei.

Vocal doesn't fit the music.

Pls Juri or Kihiro

The musical part is lil' bit flat, but fine. I would like to hear whole songs.

I haven't seen them, I must admit Re:Make was one of my fav !! Yukari's vocal is just ..ehh. That's why hard to decide. Otherwise Im affraid that MORAN could not survive untill next year

But it's the last Zerohachi live ever. Maybe there will be something special.

Anyway in your place I would browse these bands' lives on yt to decide who's better live to make a decision.

1) bands need to enforce purchase limits better. to give a concrete example, during anfiel's first live on 1/22 the band released 100 copies of their demo single (1st press). when sales started, "fans" at the front of the queue were buying 5-10 copies each to sell on auctions after the live, and as a result the CD sold out before people at the back could reach the table. in the end it was a lose-lose situation for both the deeply embarrassed band and their grumpy fans who weren't able to get the CD after paying for the live ticket, with the shameless resellers being the sole beneficiaries of what was a poorly-managed situation.

I wonder what do they think while selling 10 cds to one person. That they buy it for their 9 friends?

If bands use live-limited cds as a bait why don't they exchange them for tickets?

Also many Japanese fans don't even know how to RIP a DVD. ^^" some even don't know how to rip a CD.

And there are fans who don't even have a PC or LAPTOP to rip it... XD

Oh well! And how do they listen to it? Only at home? Don't tell me they still use portable cd players. 

The first short Viper preview was not so good too, but the full song was great.

Eh?? Whoo the hell are they??

Give them a try.

Keep calm, folks!

Wow, I've missed such news.

Starwave records -> Easier to get stuff, so that's definitely cool!

Yes Kazuha is the main composer now for Tokami. and that was a damn good choise. it really fits for Tokami.

His composing for sound bee didn't fit.. since he left sound bee, sound bee also sounds better again. 

 

 

 

=_=

and gosh why do I know so much about SW bands. xD

Are you miniKiwamu? Lol, joking.

Since you know so much about SW I wanted to ask who was the composer before? Ichika? Or K?

Another Starwave Records Release.

 

This is their first release with guitarist and composer Kazuha and because of him they have improved their music even more.

 

All 3 songs have a similar way of melody they really fit each other to play this single over and over again. \Agato's voice has truly improved if you compare it with their last mini-album.

So Kazuha is main composer? Then no wonder Tokami sounds so different.

Agato voice was good before, he has just finally stopped using Asagi-ish singing so much. Looks like recording bacame better.

I listen since I wrote that review all time to this single. Its so good. I never thought Kazuha would give this kind of flow to this band. (since I didn't like him in Sound Bee and Blood at all) But he totally gave Tokami a good vibe again.

Kazuha's departure from Sound Bee HD was good for Bees as well as their last release is great and also sounds different.

I feel real bad for Masami. Though I am wondering why no one is staying in the band.

Maybe the problem is in Masami?

How many members have departed already? I lost count.
