| [Discography] Furukawa Miki |
[07 Nov 2009|01:33pm] |

♦ sarah's note → Ex-bassist and vocalist for the band Supercar, Furukawa Miki struck out on her own solo career after the group disbanded. With her sweet and strong voice, sometimes reminiscent of Chara, she blends awesome acoustic/alternative rock sounds with rock/pop melodies and occasional electronic blends. She's got some pretty awesome music so there's a lot to try but you might want to nab either of her singles "Coffee & SingingGirl!!!" or "Candy Girl" the former being one of my favorites. Not to mention she has some pretty awesome album covers. ( Singles )( Albums )( Remix Album )→ Report Broken Links

| Nanowrimo |
[08 Nov 2009|12:40am] |
Every year, I marvel at all the people doing Nanowrimo, and think to myself... If I tried to do that, my life would implode, leaving me with no time to write. Being the superstitious person I am, and not wanting my life to implode, I then slink away, musing that maybe I'll do it someday...
On the other hand, though I'm definitely not going to let myself start trying for 50 000 words in the remainder of November (that's more than any one story has ever gotten!), I think I could try to post... Half of that.
*waits for snickers to subside*
So for November 2009, I'm going to try to post about two weeks' worth of what the Nanowrimo participants are doing. That's 25 000 words, in different stories, sum total. (Headers and titles don't count.)
So, I'll keep a running total of the fics I post, and their wordcounts, in this entry, and link to it at the top.
Right Now I'm at: 5068 / 25000 words. 20% done!
Fic So Far: Trick or Treat, at 3955 words. Pillowtalk, at 802 words. Voyeur, at 1011 words.

 detroit7Tomomi Nabana (vo, gt), Nobuaki Kotajima (ba), Miyoko Yamaguchi (dr) ♦ status → active | major » Victor Entertainment ♦ info → official site (jp) | jpop stop | myspace♦ sounds like → Bugy Craxone, noddles, GO!GO!7188, Sparta Locals, Number Girl, midori ♦ genres → rock, hard rock, pop-rock, alternative rock, punk rock ♦ support → yesasia | cdjapan | hmv | amazon (jp) | amazon (us)
♦ sarah's note → detroit7 is one of the those fun to listen to kind of bands. You add hyperness and harder edged rock together with Engrish and you, no doubt, get a good time. The three member group has been bounced from labels for a while but most recently was signed with Victor, this will hopefully lead to more stable releases as most of their discography is a mesh of indies and major releases with many songs ending up on multiple releases. They have also released their debut American album only this year. I encourage nabbing their first two albums to try. Note: Added the links to their American album so if you like remember to support.

 alütoアルト Satou Nanoka (vo, vio), Fujita Daigo (vo, gt) ♦ status → active | major » Sony Music Japan ♦ info → official site (jp) | jpop stop | wikipedia (jp)♦ sounds like → little by little, Hearts Grow, marble, Akeboshi, RYTHEM, Jyukai, ROUND TABLE ♦ genres → pop, dream pop, ethereal, acoustic, alternative rock ♦ support → yesasia | cdjapan | hmv | amazon (jp)
♦ sarah's note → aluto is a pop duo on the Sony label. Mixing acoustic sounds with violin they have some extremely pretty pop music. Both blend in their singing and mix well together coupled with their music. I suggest nabbing their first single to try. Note: I'm always for adding a violin to anything. :3 ( Singles )( Albums )→ Report Broken Links

 APOGEEアポジー Nagano Akira (vo, gt), Mano Wataru (dr), Ooshiro Yoshihiko (gt), Uchigaki Yousuke (ba) ♦ status → active | major » Victor Entertainment ♦ info → official site (jp) | jpop stop | wikipedia (jp)♦ sounds like → Fuji Fabric, Grapevine, peridots, monobright, lostage, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE, The Telephones, People in the Box, 100s ♦ genres → alternative rock, acoustic, rock, pop-rock ♦ support → yesasia | cdjapan | hmv | amazon (jp)
♦ sarah's note → APOGEE is a jrock/pop group on the Victor label. They have a cool sort of lazy laid back sound to their music which compliments their vocalist extremely well. It also makes their music great to get addicted to. I suggest nabbing one of their singles to try. ( Singles )( Albums )→ Report Broken LinksRemember to please comment if you take.

| [Discography] JUJU |
[30 Oct 2009|04:35pm] |

♦ sarah's note → JUJU is a fusion style singer who blends jazz inspired pop songs with r&b sensibilities. She has got a powerful voice but it is also soothing when mixed well with her music. Match her singing with her good English and Japanese and you've got a very well-rounded artist. I think out of all the singers in this type of genre I would call her my favorite. She been releasing since 2004 but only recently has her career started to gain momentum. I would suggest nabbing any of her singles to try. ( Singles )( Mini-Albums )( Albums )→ Report Broken Links
