I think W-inds is a good break from Johnny's sometimes. When you listen to the two companies, you get totally different vibes, even though they both feature boy bands with pretty faces.
Johnny seems to really want to sell sex appeal by making lots of footages of the artistes without shirts...whereas Flightmaster/Pony Canyon tries to show more of the natural charm of its bands and complement them with poppier songs. Not that FM/PC doesn't try to exploit W-inds' pretty faces...but they definitely show less skin. Hope I make sense!

Uhhhh not really....if you go in depth, they're about the same...I've seen TONS of pics on various websites where their shirts are off, and Johnny's I think is a little bit more talent in acting wise, I'm not sure about singing ability, both groups stand at the same...but I tend to like much of Johnny's lyrics because some are done by REALLY good writers...Flight master/PC are a little undergraded, they don't seem to have as great a quality in things as some other companies like Avex or what ever companies Johnny's is sponsored by....
But that's just my opinion, you don't need to think I'm right or wrong...
I'm not really a w-inds fan.. but i saw their live performance for long road and really liked the song alot. I uploaded it specially for a friend, thought i might as well share the single since i have 7 days/25 dls worth... :)
hey!!!! everyone in this thread..............there's always a comparation between w-inds and Johnny's jr...i guess bcuz both of them are boyband with cute face but for me i think they are different---w-inds doesn't only present their looks but also their talents. i admire them lol cuz they came from nothing....'n to be this famous now i think they are very sucessful boyband. :applaud:
Well, I've been following them for most of the time. Always love Keita's voice. He can hit the pitch range most guys' vocals can't. Very uniquely different from most boyband singers.
My fav. songs would probably be Long Road, Kirei Da, Shiki and New Paradise. Another Days and Paradox just lag a bit behind. :P
Got the 'buddies' album as well. Nice remixes inside as well as LEAD and FLAME song remixes too. :)
Here's a preview track of their upcoming single "Yakusoku no Kakera".
It's actually the full track, but the quality is far from great. It's something to hold out for until the single comes out in 3 weeks.

o migosh... i cant believe i havent seen this thread yet... haha.. YEAH!!! a W-inds thread. hi minna ... although i've been in this forum for quite some time, but this is my first post here... i'm xiao yi... :)
erm.. actually i liked w-inds when i saw them on a poster and heard their song at this mall a couple of years ago when i visited japan. liked them immediately. actually, i tot they were a gal-band cos keita's voice was really high-pitched. haha... their songs were really nice. keita's voice is highly-recognisable too. They've got their own individuality. :mrgreen: .
to beeryjuice: i'm not sure of the dropping of the popularity 'cos i tot they are kinda gaining popularity actually. but erm.. recently, i think the change in their style of songs is bit too quick for me (personal view). especially after the Shiki single, i think it's all down to Keita's singing. and in the ageha album, i tot Keita's voice sounded kinda strained ... :sweat: ... erm anyway, i still like the POL and Ageha album best... hee... :woot:
