The correct term is Japanese, not Jap. :grumble:

Hi everyone who's like Monoral! I'm very happy to post here ^^ it's a great band

Nice photos Rika, thx! I would like to know japanese :shamefulcry: I have problems to guess what is that they say in his blog TT.TT (my traductor is very bad)

Thanks for the links Ri:ka! Never seen so many MONORAL pics before - they don't put much stuff on their website. I guess all those were fan-taken pics? Man, they look to be having so much fun. Indies rock! I hope they never change their style. :victory:

I think its because of the hair. Check out the pictures at his website:

Maybe they can cast him if they ever make a live-action movie out of Naruto.

Sorry man, and thanks for the reminder that its an offensive term to use. :ashamed:

Anyway, I found this site while looking for goodbye's PV (no luck though). Whats the link between all of them? :headscratch:
http://sg-hgt.hp.infoseek.co.jp/pictures.html

that's exactly the site i got the screenshot bfrom XDD'' (like the only proof it exists XD)
hmm... something about body/face painting.... geishas... dunno ^^ I don't think it has much to do with the PV itself ^^ :woot:

my bad, didn't know know it's offensive in any way. :doh: changed it already

HI minna! I just wanted to post in the MONORAL thread, 'cause yeap we were turning Laruku thread into monoral's, lol, anywyas I really loved "like you", "Healthy Sick Bastard", and "Weird kind of swings", they have really good rhythm!, I'm starting to download the rest of the songs, hope I like them too, and thanks for all the links!!!jaaa! :victory:

I didn't know that there was a pv for Goodbye, I was thinking that Visions in my Head was the only one that existed. I hope that we find it

we must!! :twisted:
i also read somewhere that there is a PV for "like you".. but i guess it's a rumour.. ^^''

My favourite songs used to be Frozen peak and goodbye, but after leeching ammonite from Ri:ka, I've grown to love the songs there as well! I think once their popularity is confirmed, they'll have bigger budgets to do more PVs. They need to hold a major live soon!

I have to admit, I love them all XDDD
I guess, the more you listen to their songs the more you like them ^^
and YES! I'm very excited about what comes next! :hehe: They're at the very beginning of their career and it IS an exciting time in a band's life. ^^ For the band members AND for the fans :twisted:

I suppose the releases now will be available on places like CDJapan and YesAsia? Since VISIONS IN MY HEAD was their first major release and you can buy them online. I couldn't find the indies stuff anywhere though. :shakehead: I'd love to hear their stuff at CD quality. :puppydog:

their new releases will surely be on yesasia :woot:

you can try to order their indie stuff on http://www.hmv.co.jp/index.asp (they accept only credit card :shamefulcry: and the delivery is pretty expensive :shamefulcry: )
they are also on: http://www.amazon.co.jp/ (also credit card :shamefulcry: )
CD JAPAN has "in stereo" http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_code_banner.html?key=277320
I've just ordered "in stereo" from the german version of amazon. :victory: Will ripp and upload 360kb/s mp3 from it as soon as i get it :fingerscrossed:
oh maaannnn, their indie cds are really hard to get ... i'd wish they were available at yesasia...

yay! monoral thread! just to write something, my favourite song is i am i am :mrgreen: [oh my god! iLm sooo stupid! when i got to the monoral thread i thought "hmmn let me see what other artists have a thread too again.." and i only noticed now theres like 20 pages of artist threads! thatLs why i thought there was too few artist threads.. but i thought "its a dorama site.." stupid!! sorry, totally off topic...] and i wanted to say that when we were talking in the larc thread about monoral, someone talked about the other languages they speak and i remembered that when i was looking for monoral lyrics once, i ended up discovering that anis was responsable for the arabic part of "seek and ye shall find" (sugizoLs song) i just donLt know if he made a translation or if heLs the one talking, since thereLs lots of voices and sounds..but i found that cool.. i wanted to learn arabic too but i donLt have the time :shamefulcry:
oh, and thanks for the tips, ri:ka! its been quite some time iLve been wanting to buy their cds..[kill me! i was dying trying to read the kanji and 5 min later i see the option "english" what is wrong with me?!]
but i canLt afford buying in euro and the shippment fee in hmv is really expensive.. but the cd prices are not absurd (wait and see the prices of the future major ones :hehe:) have you bought there already or know someone who did? iLve only bought asian cds from yesasia..[hmmn.. amazon shipment prices look more interesting than hmv..]

Welcome to the thread!! ^__________^ I hope there are more of us in this fandom soon :twisted:

ehm... could you eventually upload this Sugizo song? I've never heard it ^^ ... maybe I will be able to answer your question then :woot:

Oh! in case you didn't know that, Anis is the one who screams the english lines in HYDE's "Masquerade" :hehe:

Ri:ka wrote:I hope there are more of us in this fandom soon

Me too! I did a google search and MONORAL forums are almost non-existant. :shamefulcry: I think the only reason why most people outside of Japan got to know MONORAL was through HYDE. I am hoping that the anime will give them greater exposure. :victory:

Btw, thanks for the cd-ordering info!

nachi: I'd love to hear that song too. :hehe:

U're welcome dear ^^

yes, the anime is a good chance for them to get more popular *nod*
I guess, it should be shown in other countries.. as far as i know, ergo proxy is a compilation project between a japanese and an american animation group (or something ^^''') .. I think it's a good start :victory:
we should try to promote the band wherever we can :hehe:

In case somebody is interested ^^
my friend, Ra, managed to save the commercial with VISIONS IN MY HEAD BGM from the canon website. I somehow couldn't do it by myself XD''
