They sound great live!!  I still need to get my hands on their first release too!

I love this <3

Ahhh, I've missed Ryo's vocals!!

This sounds amazing! *~*

Yes, love the new look <3

Their new look is awesome <3

I don't know what I think. I like it, then I don't lol 

Awesome look and catchy song!! 

Why is everything live-limited >_<

Is this real or April Fool's? lol

Hope the new singer is better than KANADE!

Excited to hear their new music!!

can we just.... talk about this

 

Daaaaamn, their new look is bomb.

And damn, I'm straight lol

Really catchy, and the vocals are slowly growing on me.

I'm gonna have to get the mini-album when I have the money.

They sound okay. Kinda sound generic!

I wonder if his solo work is going to sound more poppy?... 

The cover looks really good!!

The other members have said they will continue activities.

Thank you for the information!!

Oh, wow... That sucks :/

KANADE didn't have the best vocals, but he had potential. 

I wonder if this means disbandment... 

Nice new look!! But why live-limited...?

They look wonderful as always

Every time they show off a new look, a new release comes around the corner *fingers crossed*

It sounds good overall, but the mixing is horrible.

This band is so great... Wish they didn't screw up there.

Hopefully the actual CD sounds better.

I didn't like the single they released since returning, but wonder what the album will sound like!

Nice!! They actually sounded pretty good!

And it's realized on my birthday!  

Oh, wow, good for them! Sounds like they probably will go major.

While I lived in Tokyo a lot of my gaijin friends got a full-time work there because they were able to get a foot into a place simply by being in Japan. So I wouldn't say it's a bad way, although like @anakuro said it is  very stressfull probably. Besides that, yeah, gaijinpot is basically what you need. If you're not a native english speaker, working as an english teacher will be difficult unless you got: 1. TOEIC or something similar 2. A way to prove you don't have an accent.

Thank you! I'll be sure to check out Gaijinpot. I am a native English speaker, so that won't be a problem for me.

JET has the best pay and support but will stick you anywhere. Recently they added a crap ton of Tokyo locations so there's a good chance of Tokyo now. But you had to apply last fall/winter in order to go this August.

 

A lot of those big companies that hire overseas you should be wary of because they are considered "black companies." Use websites like glassdoor to check for reviews on specific companies.

 

Generally you want to avoid eikaiwa.

 

Do not come on a tourist visa and try to find a job it is stressful and frankly extremely difficult. Likewise: don't work on a tourist visa.

 

One of the best sites to check for job listings is gaijinpot. It's honestly practically the only one.

Thank you for your reply!

I will definitely check out JET. And that's good I missed the deadline for this year. I want to save up the money and take courses to get my TESL certificate. That'll give me time to get everything ready to apply for the next year. 

Thanks for all your advice as well on looking for jobs in Japan, etc. Appreciate it!!

I hope this is the correct place to post this... If not, I'm sorry! m(_ _)m

I graduated with my BA and have been thinking about what I may want to do.

I've been considering applying for English teaching in Japan, but I'm not sure which programs to check out.

Has anyone else taught/been teaching in Japan?

If so, what programs did you go through?

And do you have any other advice?

Interesting!!
