Hi roxfan, dillpops! Yes, I'm alive ^^; I do come by here to lurk here for a few days each time Sakamoto-san releases an album...

Hi everyone! Haven't been here in ages... My copy of the album just arrived today and I'm leaving as soon as I can after work to go pick it up. Very excited!! Out of curiosity, did anyone get a poster this time? I ordered the "normal" edition from CDJapan and only got the postcard. Not that I'm ...

can't everyone just be patient and wait for the real lyrics to come out in the single's lyrics booklet? Don't know about other people, but that's why I haven't tried a translation yet. Trying to figure out the lyrics before they come out is like a game to me. It's also a great way to keep one's ...

[quote="harmonium"]As for what comes after 'maemuki na uso ma ni ukeru no wa', I Googled around a bit, and found a <a href="http://sosmayuri.blog96.fc2.com/blog-entry-68.html">Japanese blog</a> that supposes the line is 'waratte ru koe sadamenai kara'. Does that work? I'm not sure, but I think it ...

[quote="harmonium"]I'm pretty sure it's a 'ga' after 'utagau hou'. It makes sense grammatically, and that's what I hear every time I listen to the song. [/quote] I agree, but I swear I hear an extra syllable in there. Unless she's stretching the previous one. [quote="harmonium"]I think it's 'mukae ...

I have the ones for "Lucy" and "Yuunagi Loop". I also have an LP-sized cover image for "Hachipochi" (or whatever it was called). Re: putting posters up - I've heard these are good: http://www.posterhanger.com/index.html If you really want to preserve your posters though, I would recommend framing ...

Wow, I remembered my password. And finally, a group of other people trying to figure out the lyrics to this song...!! This is what I'm getting after repeated listening. The stuff in square brackets have me stumped though. ----- Original title: toraianguraa Translated title: Triangular Lyrics ...

And say that because we post photos, we have a "lack of morals"?? That just takes it to an unbelievable extreme. Try looking at it from the Japanese point of view though. "Morals" differ between individual persons and/or societies. I guess posting official photos publicly is considered to be a ...

*skims through a variety of links* Ohhh, so *that's* what happened... First, to correct something posted earlier, published photographs of people *are* copyrighted material. In the case of a singer/actress such as Sakamoto, the rights usually belong to her, the photographer, her record company, and ...

Speaking of the Japanese contingency, here's a report by a Japanese fan for anyone who wants to give it a try:

Actually, the security issue isn't surprising. Apparently Sakamoto had some problems with a stalker in Japan recently and she's not allowed to say much right now without going through her agent and/or manager. If memory serves correct, IDS had planned a tour for fanclub members to attend AX as well ...

Generally, any song not licensed to Victor Entertainment seems to be a non-Kanno song. It makes me wonder if there's something in Sakamoto's contract with Victor regarding this...

Wah, that's so not fair... *currently shivering in Canada*

I hope people who do go write detailed reports about the concert, etc. If I can't actually go, I can live with reading about the experience (I think!). Too many people seem to attend music performances at anim

Do me a favour and remove the translation for "Koucha" and "T-shirt" please. I never gave you permission to post those.

Sora: Yes, Amazon Japan now ships overseas. Just click the links that says "Display in English" to proceed. Alternately, I've seen the book sold by more local anim
