Yup... I think most people down deep knew that this was the most likely route for Manaka... :'(
Was hoping otherwise too as well....
I will definitely miss her awesome reactions on Keyakake.

She released a new single today, a Ryuichi Sakamoto cover, plus Soutaiseiriron released a new single last month.
Who even is Daoko anymore? "Washed-up Kyary knockoff" was not the direction I was expecting her to go in. I feel like I dimly remember a time when she was actually somewhat unique as an artist.
she's got that cygames money now, I'm not sure she even cares. it's actually almost impressive how hard and fast she sold out.
Band-Maid were incredible tonight in London! I can't wait to go see them again. Easily my favourite band.

Even Kanamis guitar being low in the mix didn't detract from a fantastic performance, and all the ladies taking turns on the drums was great.
I was about 2 feet away from Misa, man she can play. Also got Akane to smile at me!
Same. Should end up as one of my favorite songs on her new album (which got a bit delayed, that's a bummer).
I really like how the chorus section is divided into a more instrumental one representing Nakada, before switching to Daoko's vocals.

Band-Maid - New Beginning

I need that blu-ray collection. Hurry up Avex!
Also, had no idea Glim Spanky has a new album releasing this week! A nice surprise, I have not been keeping up with releases.
What MVs are you looking for? BALLADA has some of her old stuff:
- SWEET 19 BLUES
- CAN YOU CELEBRATE?
- Dreaming I was dreaming
- NEVER END
- HimAWArI
- think of me
- I WILL
- Wishing On The Same Star
- Four Seasons
- ALL FOR YOU
- White Light
- The Meaning Of Us
- Love Story
- Let Me Let You Go
- TSUKI
- SWEET 19 BLUES (New version)
- CAN YOU CELEBRATE? (New version)
Mostly her older stuff and her upbeat videos. Would love to have them on blu-ray too so I can easily watch them in my player.
Definitely want her PAST<FUTURE PV's and the album tracks from Best Fiction.
It would be awesome to get the ones from STYLE and Hip-Pop days too.
Neonlight Lipstick and Ballerina are only available on DVD from the single, so it would be nice to have the PV's that are included only on singles.
I am surprised no blu-ray/DVD was included with Finally.
Also +Speed Star, I don't think that was every released officially on disc?
The amount of likes and retweets she gets compared to the others says everything.

King Gnu finally announced their major debut album. 2019 is King Gnu's year.
My CDJapan shipment arrived. Kiyoe Yoshioka's first album, Ikimono's last single, Sarah Alainn's "Timeless" and concert blurays for Ikimono-gakari and Leo Ieiri.
ONE OK ROCK's 9th album is coming in February!
Tracklist. The western edition and Japanese edition both have a different track (Ambitions had like 3/4 each IIRC).

Nogizaka's 4th Gen members spotted today during a shooting, so I guess we'll be getting some infos about new members before the end of the year for all groups.
Kawago also announced today that she's graduating from Nogizaka, wonder if she's the last one of the year.
Anyways, 12 new members for Nogizaka out of the 38 who passed the auditions. Guessing Kanji Keyaki gets most of them.

Only 12 huh... Wonder if they'll just flat out double Kanji's numbers...
Something like 12 / 18 / 8 ? Hmmm....
Huh, when you put it this way... lol
I guess I'm used to Nogizaka having a big roster of like 45ish members, but it's hard to picture Kanji Keyaki with 36 members haha.
I'm still pretty excited to see what kind of group they become.
You should, their shows are always a blast. I'm seeing them in 3 weeks in Paris. Same venue where they first came 5 years ago. Also it's the one that had that horrible terrorist attack in 2015. First time I'm going back since that, so it's going to be a bit special to me.
My Gacharic Spin Go Luck! mini album arrived. Hadn't realised it was record sized! Got to figure out where to store it now lol.
Finally! This was filmed way back when the album was released. Their vocalist actually said when they got the idea for the MV zombies weren't as popular, so there's that at least. Too bad they said we won't get anymore music for a while, with her having a baby.
zombies or not, it's a really nice video. I was wondering why they just put out a video for a song that came out a year ago.
The Ikimono-gakari concert was only average unfortunately. The mic sound was all messed up, probably because it was raining like crazy. Lots of good songs though.
I'm only halfway through the Leo Ieiri show though and it's fantastic. I don't like all her songs but so far it's mostly been the great ones.

I've been listening to more and more hip hop this year yeah. Current favorites.
Ordered Fuki Commune - Welcome last night. Got to say I've been really impressed with Amazon Japan since I started using them. No messing around with customs and it always seems a much smoother experience than when I used Amazon UK.
In this day and age Amazon Japan is the only thing I need for my J-Music related needs.
Also, people need to stop using CDJapan for instance, it's waaaay more expensive.
For instance, I recently bought Keyakizaka46's live BR from Amazon Japan. Payed 56 euros in total (product + shipping and handling + import fees deposit), and got it 2 days (!) after its release.
Looking at the price on CDJapan, the BR costs 50 euros, and I would have to add between 20 or 30 euros in shipping to get it that quickly (and I may have some additional customs fees to pay when it finally gets here)
