"Pada bulan November lalu Doremidan merilis album terbaru mereka 'ドントレットミーダウン / Don't Let Me Down', dan sekarang mereka tampil di musicJAPANplus! Dengan album baru mereka, baru-baru ini mereka mengadakan tur konser berjudul 'タイムマシンにのって / Time Machine ni Notte [harafiahnya 'Mengarungi Mesin Waktu]'. Ini akan menjadi tur terakhir bagi kelima personil ini, dan mereka menampilkan pertunjukkan yang menyenangkan dalam setiap pemberhentian. [Bassist Shinji akan meninggalkan band setelah konser terakhir dalam tur ini.] Kami menanyakan kepada kelima personil ini mengenai tur mereka, poin penting dalam album baru, dan pendapat mereka mengenai konser terakhir. "
Doremidan, one of my favorite visual kei bands which I am interested at knowing them more. I am sorry for Shinji and I respect his decision to leave (due to health problems), and welcome Yuu, as Doremidan's new bassist! Wish Doremidan all the bests!^_____^~
F.Y.I: Yuu is an ex-bassist of Shelly Trip Realize and TINC (Well, Shelly Trip Realize changed its name into TINC in 2006), and is a current member of Brother ~JaME UK~

"Pada tanggal 10 Juni 2009, Plastic Tree dengan formasi baru telah merilis single pertamanya "梟 / Fukuro" dan pada hari yang sama mereka tampil dalam sebuah pertunjukkan gratis di panggung terbuka Yoyogi Park di Tokyo. Walau pertunjukkan ini diatur dengan terburu-buru, namun sudah menjadi impian band ini untuk tampil di sana. Sebelum pertunjukkan kedua mereka di Nippon Budokan pada bulan Agustus, berjudul "Tent", Plastic Tree membebaskan musik mereka di udara terbuka, tidak membiarkan apapun menghalangi jalan mereka.
Hari ini adalah hari di mana Sato Kenken bergabung sebagai drummer resmi mereka yang baru!
Untul detail lebih lanjut, baca beritanya disini!"

Well, when I read through all of the messages from fans of the respective artists, I was moved as each of them really shows how much fans really care and love their artists and how the artists are loved. I am really happy to be able to experience that feeling too, when I re-read my message shown on the "The Chocolate Ranking" page:
"I really love Plastic Tree. Their works are always wonderful and inspire me especially when I am sad, lonely or desperate. I think, the "Japanese fan" chocolate here (no. 1) is the most chocolate representing their artistic and original works as Japanese musicians. It's simple, but unique since it is different than any other usual chocolates for Valentine... I really wish that wherever they are, they can enjoy their Valentine's day with love :)
Thanks to musicJAPANplus who succeed in making this Valentine's Day Voting Project as the place to let fans express, show, and communicate their love to their favorite artists. It's really my personal thought as a fan, without considering my works in musicJAPANplus. Congratulations for ALL of the artists and ALL of the fans, regardless you get the rank or not, or your messages are shown or not. Each fans has his/her own favorite artist. So, let's love and respect each other, since we are same, we are fans :) Let's spread our love!!!!
P.S: Besides my messages posted, I was surprised that one of my favorite Alice Nine's songs which I chose, Armor Ring, gets place in "The Song Ranking" :) I love this song very much especially the lyric is so romantic and lovely :D Check the English translation in akatsuki.wareta.net!
Everyday is about showing our love to everyone...
Everyday is Valentine...
So,
HAPPY VALENTINE EVERYONE!!!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BELOVED ONE!

- Music:flumpool - Kotoshi no Sakura (Graduation remix)
Just two weeks ago, on 3th February, a four-man Japanese pop/rock band, flumpool, released it's third major single, Zanzou. The first track of this single is none other than Zanzou itself, a slow tempo tune which is used as OST for Japanese popular drama "Bloody Monday". The sounds from slow grand piano accompanied with soft violin as the background begin the track as it is slowly followed by Ryuuta's gentle voice. With Sakai's and Amakawa's guitar as well as Seiji's stable drums as the compliment, the entire song creates a heart-warming feeling, brings us to the nuance of sad love...Prepare yourself to the next song, Birds. This second track will take us up high with its fast tempo and catchy melody! Still with Ryuuta's natural soft voice which sounds lively now, the song invites us to the flumpool's world. Representing flumpool's style, this is a light and cheerful song which can be listened by everyone. In this song, you can hear Sakai's amazing guitar too! Thanks to other members as well, who succeed to liven up the mood.
Next is Kotoshi no Sakura (Graduation remix), another beautiful song whose the original song is included in flumpool's latest album, What's flumpool!? Even though it is a remix, but it really gives us a different aura from the original which is more catchy and up-to-beat. In this song, you can listen clearly how Ryuuta's pure voice is gradually changing, up and down, while being accompanied by piano and violin. The drums, followed by guitar and bass joining after the first refrain, create a sweet melody that can make the listeners feel peaceful and calm. This wonderful song ends as it begins, with some beautiful lines from piano, and leaves our heart a warm, unforgettable feeling...
For this single, flumpool does not forget to promote their upcoming DVD "flumpool tour 2009 "Unclose" Special!! Live at Nippon Budokan", as the fourth track of this single, Over the rain ~Hikari no Hoshi~ Live at Nippon Budokan, is the last track for their DVD tour which will be released on 24th February. Personally, this live song is better than the original, since as it is expected from a live song, it gives you more emotion as well as it is able to touch your soul directly. Unfortunately, this bonus track is only available in limited edition only, as well as the Budokan live photo collecters poster and original sleeve jacket case. So, people who bought the regular edition will not find this special track and these two bonuses.
As the closing, the instrumental version of Zanzou brings us back to the beginning, in which the flow of beautiful melody reminds us with the warm feeling that we had just a few while ago...

Zuna's personal notes:
- Besides some of their popular songs, flumpool becomes popular as their song, MW (Dear Mr. & Mrs. Picaresque), was used as OST for Tezuka's film "MW" (starring Hiroshi Tamaki and Takayuki Yamada) in 2009.
-Some of recommended / popular songs: Hana ni Nare, Haru Kaze, MW (Dear Mr. & Mrs. Picaresque), Hoshi ni negai wo, Over the rain ~ Hikari no Hoshi~, Labo, Frame...
-Some of my favorite songs: Haru Kaze Unplugged version, MW (Dear Mr. & Mrs. Picaresque, Hoshi ni negai wo, Shashou, Saigono Page, Frame, Kotoshi no Sakura (Graduation remix), 最後のページ (Saigo no Page) and more...
-I decided to make this review since I am currently falling in love with Kotoshi no Sakura (Graduation remix). Nice song, flumpool! I really love Ryuuta's voice and his honest and unique expression when he is performing. And more, I love their style since it shows how they are just simple guys who love music without worrying too much of what they are wearing.
-For me, all of the songs in this single are very nice and worthy to listen :) The songs are easy-listening, well-composed, and have beautiful melodies (for track 1, 3, 4, 5) and have catchy and light rhythm (for track 2). Once you listened to the whole tracks of this single, you will know that they still represent flumpool's style. But maybe for people who expect more upbeat songs that can make you shake your head, you might not find it in this single, probably, since four out of five tracks here can be considered as not-up-to-beat songs.

"Sepanjang tahun 2009 Alice Nine tetap aktif dengan merilis materi baru, mengadakan tur-tur konser dan berpartisipasi dalam berbagai acara live. Untuk mengakhiri tahun 2009, mereka mengadakan sebuah konser solo di Shinkiba STUDIO COAST. Melihat kembali tahun 2009, apa yang ada dalam pikiran mereka? Hal apakah yang mereka anggap sebagai pencapaian utama mereka? Konser mereka di STUDIO COAST mungkin menyimpan semua jawabannya."
