You already have their mp3s?

This site has some PVs & mp3s and lyrics. It has translations too.

I like RADWIMPS too. 25 Kome no Senshoku Tai is one of my favorite :woot:

I got most of the mp3s from japandata and El Tio blog. japandata also have the lyrics but in japanese only... Thanks for the link!!!

Ah, you should've mentioned romaji lyrics earlier because I would've been able to add it sooner. :) Here's the link to the lyrics. I didn't have the songs to double check the lyrics, so if there are errors, please let me know.

CHECK KAELA OUT NOW!!! :beatyou: But no pressure. :mrgreen: :beaten:

Ok! Ok! :sweat: :hehe: I've checked her out. I quite liked her, but I wasn't crazy about her. But, her videos are very good. :victory:

And right now I'm listening to Perfume's album. It's fun, it's techno-ish, it's cute, it's addicting, but a bit too embarassing to listen to in a doctor's office. :sweat: Ah, no one's really showing up today, so I don't care. :mrgreen:

I would have thought people were much too worried about their appointments to think much about what you were listening to, lol. :hehe:

@ manutunia - when japandata comes up in searches I do, there's a message saying the site may harm my computer. Eek.
I've been on the site before though, and nothing bad has happened. :victory:

Right, so I got a cheap (official!) copy of a globe album, Faces Places.
I haven't listened properly to it yet, but omg, the lyrics. The English ones, anyway. I mean, I'm not knocking anyone's language skills (I only speak English myself), but lyrics saying that smoking cigarettes is cool are just dumb. :sweat:

The same day I got that disc, I also got UA's Dorobou (I've Romanized that). Ah, some wonderful songs on there. One of UA's more laid back efforts, but great nonetheless. :victory:

you guys checked out Koda Kumi's new single with Fergie?? more like Fergie with Koda Kumi :beaten: . The PV is hot though, but i couldn't catch most of her english

Yep, I've seen it. I agree - you can hardly hear Kumi. Very disappointing.
And wtf is Fergie wearing in the video?! :shocked:

But, I'd love Kumi to become more well-known in the West. In the UK, most people haven't heard of her.

it's a catchy song, could've been hotter though

it's not a japan-only release?

lol, that black outfit was even freakier when she bended her legs :beaten:

Oh, I just presumed the song would at least be released in America, what with Fergie being on it. And then I thought it might be noted in the UK.
It's probably wishful thinking on my part. :sweat:

I don't particularly like the song (it's ok though), but I'd love for it to get Kumi's name noticed here.

I wonder how Fergie got into that constume? I reckon it took a big team of people and plenty of stretching, lol. :hehe:

i love Koda Kumi's parts though. LOL. her boobs and butt looks bizzare. the pushing was harder than the stretch :hehe:

Roflmao! :rofl:

I thought Kumi looked great - I hadn't seen her with her hair like that before, and I thought it really suited her.

Hey, do you think Fergie heard about that stuff Kumi said about ageing women?! :shocked: :mrgreen: Because Fergie is in the age range that Kumi reckons has bad reproductive organs. :rofl:

lol, she would't care coz she still has the humps. But i wonder how Duhamel will react if he heard? :hehe:

*snorts* :rofl: Wait, I learnt that Fergie is not the 35 and over that Kumi was talking about (I always thought Fergie was older than 33!). :mrgreen:

I am currently uploading a huge batch of my favorite Japanese songs, 15+ from each year since 1993, and couple of songs from before.

I have hand-picked all of them, and I especially recommend older songs and from lesser known artists (since they often are one hit wonders with awesome songs)

Hello Stardope - I found some stuff for you (hope it's useful!)

What about the official website? It's all in Japanese, though.
http://www.d-boys.com/index.php

Fanpage for Yuichi -
http://yuichi-mumu.exteen.com/

Yuichi clip on Veoh-
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v7634416hjJDrTce?rank=30&

I couldn't find any music videos, sorry. (I'd never heard of D-Boys before, either.
:sweat: )

Hope this helps! :mrgreen:

I kind of started up a little Jpop music blog and I made an entry a few days ago. Those of you who like Kimura Yoshino, the actress, should check this one out. :hehe:

Here's the link if anyone's interested:
