  1. More information is coming out

    https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/efb36c125f80e468cd3f27355eedcf34c1b1526a

     

    Translation of above article by codomo dragon spain: https://codomodragonspain.blogspot.com/2020/11/codomo-dragon-special-translation-to.html

     

     

    Some notes:

     

    There is some discrepancy between the machine translation/my interpretation and the translation by codomo dragon spain.

     

    I don't think Kana has contacted anyone from Codora since 2018. Rather, it was his "bandmen friends" (who are not from Codora) who suggested that he hold a live in the future.

     

    (From here: バンドマンの友だちに連絡をとったら、『ちゃんとファンの前で公表したほうがいい』『ライブを一度やったほうがいいんじゃないか』と言われました。

     

    and this: 仲の良かったコドモドラゴンのメンバーたちとも会えていない。 )

     

    Their profit split was originally 50:50 between the band and company but the band had to take a smaller cut due to a 2017 scandal.

     

    (Chamu pls)

     

    Tweet from CEO of BForest/BPrecords saying he will refrain from further comments on this matter. 

     

     

    Fun fact: Kana's attorney composed a song for HKT48 lol

    What I got via machine translation is that he had adjustment disorder, and president of B' FOREST fired him.  Also he sued the president for unpaid remuneration of roughly 3 million yen and power harassment.

    未払金の問題に関しても、大切なメンバーや先輩、後輩は報われないままだし、もう続けて欲しくない。

    ^Seems to mean that his former labelmates are still going unpaid?

     

    Someone with actual japanese knowledge please summarize this.

    I bought a ticket for this マチルダ online oneman live so i could watch it and the video stays online until may 31st. Does anyone know how to download an online video that is not on youtube platform but directly on the ticket shop personal account, please? I guess screen recording won’t be a good idea due to bad connection here^^; Thank you^^

    You can try Minyami: https://github.com/Last-Order/Minyami 

     

    Otherwise you can try youtube-dl:  https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

    Rakugaki is having a live at 7pm JST. Since they specified live and talk separately, I'm assuming they'll be playing.

     

    They are asking if there's any songs you want to see live:

    Grimoire, REIGN and 感染2 will also have a free live on icolony youtube channel starting from 5pm JST.


  5. No problem! I was trying to think of active bands that are similar to nurié but couldn't come up with any at the time. So I just gave random suggestions instead haha.

     

    Now that I think about it, develop one's faculties should have something in common with nurié, but I'm not familiar with them.


  6. Hi! Great to see another nurie fan! For heavy stuff you may like deviloof then.

     

    Some popular vk acts: xaa xaa, kizu, razor, hueye, acme, scapegoat, dezert, arlequin.

     

    Smaller vk bands: 蟻 (Ari), rakugaki, doku (friends of nurie!), Kebyo (仮病)

     

    These are just random shots in the dark and may not to be your taste. Check them out though!

    At a club I do designs for I saw some BTS on their TV backgrounds and it was all kinds of ridiculous watching these super skinny baby faced guys trying to act hard

    and imitate black gangster culture.

    Someone who knows better about kpop imitating black culture should tackle this but yeah, it's a thing. Thankfully a thing that my Shinee boys don't do. Hopefully? 

     

    I live in south east asia so kpop is unavoidable for me. I can only speak for myself, but what I noticed around me was that the people who first got into kpop weren't into jpop.

     

    They were 'mainstream normies' so to speak, so 2000s kpop being more accessible from the start meant that they had much greater exposure to kpop than jpop in the first place. My general impression back then was that kpop was seen as 'fresher',  'more polished' than jpop which has been around for a few years already. So there was the general public getting into kpop + jpop/vk/etc fans getting into kpop but little to no fans gained for jpop/vk. So that was that. Though it was obvious that kpop was taking trend cues from japanese music, like how early dbsk had visual kei hairstyles lol. But they quickly found a style that simply appealed more to the foreign public than jpop/vk did imo. I mean, they had government backing, so....

     

    What I dislike about kpop is how they pigeonhole members, like oh guy 1 is the singer, guy 2 is rap and so on. It's weird how they introduce themselves explicitly like that. Of course they have their own strengths but why do that?

     

    I don't know about 2010 kpop but I think the surviving groups and artists from 2000s kpop are still quite good and are beginning to have their own musical input.

     

    I specifically like songs (partially) written and composed by Donghae of Suju for some reason:

    Spoiler

     

     

    Also key's solo albums are prime kpop goodness. 

     

    Odd eye best kpop album of the decade tbh, bts can't compare

    The first digest video can be grabbed w/ youtube-dl, but the second (set of videos) requires a 550 yen per month fee even with a premium subscription :/.

     

    *To clarify, it's separate from premium. You could have a free account but have to pay the 550 yen fee just for the channel alone.

    The videos can be grabbed as long as they can be accessed?  Then I may just pay the 550 yen lol

     

    and oops sorry for double posting


  9. Clack inc reuploaded their live on 24th March:

     

    I managed to get a shitty rip of Ari's Lyoka birthday live: (audio seems ok, video...is what it is)

    Ningen isu did an audience-less live at the end of their recent livestream:

     

    Terakoya label (Ensoku, gallo, roman kyukou) will have their 29th March livestream available from 1st April to 15th April on niconico:
