anakuro

I don't mind the name so much but it is a bit long and will be difficult for Japanese fans to spell & pronounce. They keep saying the name has meaning and they want people to remember it. They had a secret live on the 20th and apparently were really great. I wasn't able to go but I know someone who did.

....but please note that that is very old and he has improved dramatically since this video. They used to have live videos up on their youtube from around this era and there is such a gap between how he used to perform and how he performs now I think they took them down because it's not a good reflection of Kou's vocals live...

I'm really digging 教えて先生 the most and then that 感電 one--mostly because I'm imagining what will become of it at a live. And うそつき seems like a lot of 手扇子 which is boring and actually hurts my hand/arm (I have tendinitis). I'm definitely going to buy it. Or maybe five who knows. Throw money at them so they can have better production next time. If you need someone to buy it for you (they haven't announced where you can buy it yet, right?) you can look to me, np. I'll be up in Osaka for the oneman anyway so I'll get the CD only a couple days after...

I can see how it will be translated well to lives and I'm looking forward to that, but I'm not too terribly impressed with the recording quality itself. But what can you do, it's obvious they're broke just by looking at their photos

...here they also put up another video it was their announcement at midnight

They uploaded a video that has the whole song on it

I can't help with posters (they don't have it as bonus items so it's not that easy for anyone to get their hands on it just yet....) but I do have one bang me flyer up for sale ($1/flyer but it's not worth the packaging & trip to the post office for me to sell just one flyer so if people are buying flyers they have to buy at least three...)

The bonus items are different based on where you buy from. Like an edison has four locations and buying from a certain one will get you a comment dvd from a certain member.Rei's osaka location, eiki is harajuku, kou is tokyo (shinjuku) and I guess that means nao is nagoya. I wanted the rei comment (fav member also he's the funniest and least awkward at talking) so I needed someone to order from osaka for me. And I have 0 interest in photocards. I've given away a lot of my signed things of theirs to a friend tbh

I wanted Rei dvd she wanted eiki. She ordered the osaka like an edison one for me (and another for herself lol. I think she's going to the in store too...) and I coordinated to get a friend who lives in tokyo to get the like an edison harajuku one for her. It's complicated and I'll get it... eventually. My friend in osaka has her shit covered and has never failed me. I'm not worried :')

Woo happy flying get day I wonder when I'll get my CD (I have been too lazy to coordinate about that with my friend oops)

On another side of this discussion: personally I don't particularly feel inclined to upload live only CDs when I possibly(/definitely?) spent hundreds of dollars + 4~6hr travel time one way to get to the live that it was sold at (or had to ask a friend for the 5000th time to buy something on my behalf and mail it to me because I couldn't go). That being said, I buy things on people's behalf if I'm going to the live it's sold at to a certain extent. I mean, if I'm asked by too many people it's difficult. But other than that yeah sure...

Tomorrow is "flying get day" so technically people can start getting it in stores then! If supplies arrived in time, that is...

To be honest the live only one is probably going to be easier to get than the other version for those who don't live in Japan--that one is mail order and you have a month to order starting the 21st of this month. I can't order for anyone else at this point I already have too many interested but if they still have the live only CDs at the end of January (I'm going to the Osaka date) I might possibly be able to buy a couple more for other people( ˙︶˙ )ﾉ

First reaction to session band: what. why have members leave only to do a session band a month later with pretty much the same people..? I mean I know yui got a job but....? Second reaction: I always wanted to see old members, since I was a fan of the hibiki/kai/shiyu times too (can't go of course...)

DEATHGAZE / Arlequin / NOIZ / Rave in hiroshima at one of my favorite live houses. Also, dinner with a friend after that.

Also, Brand X takes a while to reply to emails in my experience.

Some bands do but with Shounenki they haven't done that ever. GAZELLEBABEL was the quickest they uploaded the PV after the release and it was a few weeks later? Bloom's was uploaded March this year and it came out in December last year... Also, this is the first time they are actually trying to sell the PV itself so part of me is wondering if it will ever make it to their official youtube.

I feel you on period I want that so bad. Did you find ritukosan somewhere? I had a gya say she'd mail it to me and I wrote down my address or her last time I saw belmosaic but it never came. I feel you, I will follow logic to hell and back. And if kazuki is there too I'm ok with it. Logic's my favorite drummer to watch. I'm excited and it's three am (fml) so I'm considering crazy ideas like taking the time off to go to the oneman. I think the single is regular release since they have another thing listed as live distributed for the oneman.

They just had a session under the same name iirc I'm so excited. logic and kazuki were my favorite parts of belmosaic. Gotta buy roji more booze to celebrate. Incidentally he's like 'lol I made my name shorter' but everyone's been calling him roji forever.

Yeah they don't have the live distributes listed on their homepage it's a pain. but to be honest the one that I have is just kind of meh recorded (great live though) I found a tweet that Rei mentioned the previous ones and he said they were demos so idk how those were distributed. But I got 宵花火 at visual graffiti. Good luck. My thoughts are with you all. I keep forgetting how I'm even getting the single :') I just know it'll get to me... one day.

I bought like 5 copies of IN THE SUNLIGHT (and got bitched about it on that site that shall not be named by japanese fans lol) I would have bought it for pretty much up to 5 more people......... Though all of my transactions were carried out in Japanese on twitter so it was probably easy to overlook mine.... φ(._.; ) Speaking of my friend is going to be selling cheki & offering a shounenki shopping service since she goes to a lot of their Osaka lives if any of you guys are interested. I'll make a post about it on toomuchcheki soon.... I'm missing... Akasha (( any free live distribute (I think there have been about three?) besides 宵花火 (yoi hanabi) ⇐ these are not listed on their OHP and are probably even harder to get than Akasha (°＿°) I don't even know their names I just saw the jackets on Rei's twitter one time and laid down in defeat Well, it's just a little over a week before BANG ME comes out hope you guys can survive until then \o/

Most important update of 2014.10.14: I'm auctioning アルルカン's 似非林檎-eseringo- CD Arlequin bag Arlequin flyer Please see this post for details.

I've been trying to find Akasha for a a year plus and no luck. Some of my favorite songs are on there... I honestly wish they would release a remastered version. One can dream right... Bloom is a wonderful mini-album I highly encourage you to reconsider--and sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to find in Japan too If I'm not mistaken it's not available in physical stores anymore--only online shops that haven't sold out yet. I can't remember the last time I saw it in stores. And let's not forget on Bloom there is the treasure of a song I gonna fxxk you which has some great lyrics Anyway, I would recommend grabbing it while there is still a chance because finding a physical copy of their CDs after it sold out is such a pain(°＿°) If I'm not mistaken REVIVA is sold out according to OHP and is difficult to find. Like an Edison and Jishuban Club both still haven it listed without saying it's sold out but they might not have updated the pages. As for BANG ME I am pretty sure I listened to the preview like 5 times total. But I am looking forward to it whenever that happens.

Yeah, I met them during REVIVA time when Kou was a different flavor of blonde and eiki was slightly more present. And how they lured me in was Kou going "WE'RE ON YOUTUBE ?" but the first one I bought was Bloom and it's still my favorite. It's really nice to see other people interested in them Well, it was the 3rd oneman so they played a lot of songs (+ drunk ) so.. yeah, I can't really remember :') but I do remember liking it and it brightened the mood when in the sunlight was.. a downer (Kou pretty much went on about suicide and how we should do our best to continue living because life is precious).

Going to be honest, didn't know you guys were that into them :') I really want to see Kou's reaction to knowing how many foreigners have fallen for the band. I mean, last year he was ecstatic simply by finding out that I followed him on twitter lol I'm getting my copy of BANG ME from... Like an Edison Osaka? Whichever has Rei comment DVD. Because that dongus is my favorite. If I recall I enjoyed BANG ME live?? But my memory of the live was 1) everything was fun (except that one MC before IN THE SUNLIGHT.. that was not fun.) 2) they did artlessness boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3) drink drank drunk. ⇒I mentioned it in this thread, but I have a shop mostly for cheki and I'm selling some of shounenki. Kou's cheki has been claimed but I have the others up too. And when I see them again at the end of November I'll probably have more (also I have a cheki buying service listed on that page so I can buy cheki for people that day too...). Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any inquiries! I like to keep my discussions of transactions in one location, thanks
