CDJapan says the release date is 2010,12,15?

Honestly, I just think they have realized that not that many people are buying their European editions when people apparently more likely want to import from CDJapan and YesAsia. Personally I don't like the cheap feeling of their European Editions. It feels so cheap when they have just the original booklet in cheaper paper, an bonus lyrics booklet which VERY cheap designed (the lyrics is basic pasted in Arial on regular white paper). They usually just print out the Romaji titles with Times New Roman or Arial on the back cover and that is just looking cheap. They should at least use the same font as the Japanese version, or just keep the original tracklist and just put a sticker on the back with romaji titles (since they stopped with obi). In their survey, I mentioned that I would love more CD's with bonus tracks or DVD with the PV, and digipack! They should also release SINGLES once in a while, and they should cost 2-3 euro However, CLJ Records releases doesn't feel that cheap! They have understood that people want BOTH Limited Edition material (like Bonus DVD with PV) AND the Regular Edition tracklist. That's great!

OMG what happened to Tatsuros hair? Song sounds good

If you think their bands sucks, this is the moment to tell them which band they SHOULD sign, you have 3 bands to fill in with OHP/MySpace link so they can check them out!

This sucks, they should continue as 4 member band, they can do it with a solo guitarist

KARMA is released in Europe on the 19.11.2010 as CD+DVD "As if the extra dimensions to the bans sound over the 14 tracks is not enough, the European release will also include a DVD with some making-of footage from the recording of "KARMA“ and much more never seen before footage."

Gan-shin is currently having a survey where all fans om their signed bands could tell them how to get better. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=C ... byfg_3d_3d They want you to fill in, which band they should sign, what they should release with each album (bonus stuff), how much their CD's/DVDs should cost.. You have a chance to win following CD's if you're enter your email in the end of the survey 5 x MUCC - Kyutai -Sphere- 5 x DIR EN GREY - Tour08 The Rose Trims Again 5x An Cafe - BB Parallel World 5x L'Arc~en~Ciel - Kiss 5x D'espairs Ray – Liquidize The survey is in German, but you can translate each parts with Google Translate http://translate.google.com/# I would suggest all of you to tell them to release "Bonus DVD with PV" and "Digipack" when they ask how to get better with their album releases.

Some of you have asked about shipping cost for posters: WITHIN EUROPE: 7 EURO UNITED STATES/CANADA: 9 EURO

It's 100% genuine autographs signed by the Girugamesh guys when they visited Stockholm in 2008. On the back of the poster, there's ink dashes.. so it's absolutely genuine autographs! It was a private gift to me from the organizer for their Stockholm gig, that's why I really didn't want to sell it but I don't have any use for it anymore so i'm letting it go.. It's unused and in very good condition!

New stuff updated today!! See first post

Woow, that cover is looking good!

Great! I have subscribe to that list, i think it's www.ITIKATA.se who created it? (http://www.ikikata.se/japanska-artister-pa-spotify) I also updated the first post here with albums I found/had in my playlist

I have found A LOT of popular visual kei bands, but that's one problem and that's the horrible tagging, a lot of music is hidden because of the tags are not correct. But the music are there!

I don't know if there already has been created a thread about Japanese music on Spotify but if there is one, lock/remove this. Spotify is, to be brief, a music player with streamable music, all music are legally uploaded (record labels uploading the music and earn money when people listen to it). Perfect for people who don't want illegal CD-rips or don't have space on their harddrive, because no music is saved on your harddrive, and is 100% legal. There's one free-account with commercial breaks. The Subscribe-account is 99 SEK/month (~9EUR) commercial-free, all music in 320kbps, able to listen offline and have preview on upcoming albums. Spotify is avaliable in most west-European countries. Spotify can scrobble on Last.fm (One bad thing though is that Japanese titles are tagged in romaji or translated to English.) Download the player and create your account here: http://www.spotify.com Now, to the main thing: Lately a lot of Japanese labels has been uploaded Japanese bands to this music service. I was thinking maybe we could collect all albums/singles we found on Spotify by Japanese artists? Maybe creating a Spotify-section in the Download section?

I really couldn't understand why they decided to take the name AYABIE.. They said to musicjapanplus.jp that their "new band" wasn't going to continue with "Ayabie" and will not have the same musical direction as Ayabie. But they're still choosing this band name but in caps, like it would make any difference?

Woow cool!

Oh no! :/ I hope they find a new bassist guitarist and drummer soon!

I have to agree Moi dix Mois songs are all the same, sorry but NOCTURNAL OPERA is enough ;P

Single is released in 3 types TYPE A CD+DVD TYPE B CD+DVD TYPE C CD only

The reason why they're not including any song from their first three singles are because those are Demo-singles released before they got signed at Loop-Ash, and which Loop-Ash don't have license/permission to release or distribute... And I also think they won't release those songs again because they were unofficial releases.

I find comments like this utterly stupid. That is to say, what about the b-sides? Half the time, they were the better songs. *Shrugs* Better than nothing, though. Maybe, maybe not. I still want most of these song on a physical disc, and i save a lot of money on getting the BEST-album instead of buying all their singles! It's also a good album for European fans, getting to know the band better when they're releasing two albums (and already have released VERSUS before) in Europe for their upcoming EU tour. But I agree, they should put some B-sides on that BEST-album as well, maybe there's a couple of bonus tracks for the EU press ;D
