Misachi Kyushima - Rita no Baai [PV]


Kyushima Misachi
is a Japanese pop/rock artist on the Dreamusic label

Name:
Kyushima Misachi (久嶋美さち)
Real Name: Kyushima Misachi (久嶋みさち - Hiragana spelling of forename)
Birthdate: November 26, 1980
Birthplace:
Miyazaki, Japan

In her hometown of Miyazaki, Kyushima Misachi had made a promise that she would become a singer. Surprisingly, Misachi had very weak lungs as a child due to bad asthma, but when her parents read in the paper that folk music is good for asthma, she began singing. Misachi loved living in Miyazaki and was soon singing to the mountain by her home daily. Participating in contests throughout her school life, Misachi won first place in 6th year elementary and first year junior high. By the time she was in high school, Misachi was fully devoted to folk music.
After high school ended, Misachi was 18 and working as a beautician. Whenever the stress of work got to her, she would sing to herself and feel better. The one thing she wanted to do before she died was sing so that everybody could hear her voice. She quit work at 21 and became a street performer in Miyazaki.
Misachi moved from Miyazaki to Tokyo at 23 to begin her professional solo music career. She finally debuted in winter of 2005 with the pop/rock ballad Missing You, and three months later her first album was released. After a seven month period of no releases, Misachi released her third single Ihoujin, a cover of the 1979 hit by Kubota Saki. None of her releases reached the Oricon charts. [wiki theppn]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dans sa ville natale Miyazaki, Kyushima Misachi a toujours été promise à un destin de chanteuse. Etonnamment, Misachi qui avait de l'asthme étant enfant possédait de faibles poumons. Mais lorsque ses parents apprirent que le chant aidait à améliorer l'asthme, ils la poussèrent à chanter. Très vite, Misachi commença la musique folk. Elle gagna plusieurs concours de chant dans son école et avant d'aller au lycée, elle mit corps et âme dans la musique folklorique.
Après le lycée, du haut de ses 18 ans, Misachi commença à travailler en tant d'esthéticienne. Et dès qu'elle se sentait épuisée par le travail, elle chantait.
L'une des choses qu'elle aurait voulu faire avant de mourir était que tout le monde ait pu entendre sa voix. Du coup, elle arrêta le travail à 21 ans et devena une artiste de rue.
A 23 ans, Misachi déménagea à Tokyo pour commencer une carrière solo dans la musique professionnelle. Elle débuta finalement en décembre 2005 avec une ballade pop/rock, "Missing You" et trois mois plus tard, son premier album suivit. Après 7 mois sans sorties, Ihoujin, son troisième single voit le jour.
Malheureusement, aucun de ses singles n'a atteint le top Oricon. [nautlijon]

[PV] Mihimaru GT - Bon Voyage (M-ON! Xvid)


mihimaru GT are a J-Hip-Pop duo under the publicity of Stardust Music, management of Tearbridge Productions (avex trax sub-label and sub-company) and record label of Universal Music Japan. Their music is a mixture of hip-hop elements and Japanese pop sterotypical of the '90s. Their name comes from a meshing of the Mi in Mitsuyuki and the Hi in Hiroko and the suffix for ship names, -maru. The GT part of their name comes from Gran Turismo.

Members
* hiroko (Vocals/Lyrics)
* miyake (Vocals/Lyrics/Song Composition)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Mihimaru GT est un groupe urbain qui a vu le jour en 2003. Le groupe est composé de Hiroko, la chanteuse et Miyake rappeur. L'excellent rap de Miyake combiné à la voix kawaii de la jeune Hiroko en font un groupe urbain à part dans le monde de la musique nippone.

Le nom mihimaru GT a une origine plutôt complexe. " Mihi " vient des 2 premières lettres des noms Miyake et Hiroko. "Maru" signifie "perfection" en japonais. Et pour finir, GT est l'abréviation du jeu favoris de Miyake, Grand Turismo.
Avant de former Mihimaru GT, chacun des membres a eu une carrière solo qui n'a malheureusement pas bien fonctionné. Par une manière inconnue Miyaki et Hiroko on finis par former leur duo. Bien qu'au début ça ne marchait pas fort, en 2006, leur single Kibun Jojo devint le thème de fin d'une émission de variété, Sukibara. Cet événement leur permit d'avoir un peu plus de notoriété. En mai 2006, ils sont invités sur le plateau de Music Station en tant que "Young Guns". Ce passage télévisé fit monté leur single Kibun Jojo à la 7ème place du top Oricon. Depuis, leur single arrive dans les hautes places du top Oricon notamment Itsumademo Hibiku kono Melody/Magical Speaker qui arriva 3ème!

Kiyoharu - Satsukiame [PV]
envoyé par Ashelia


Kiyoharu is the former vocalist of Kuroyume and SADS. In 2003 he started his solo career.

Fullname: Mori Kiyoharu
Birthday: 1968.10.30
Blood type: A
Home Town: Gifu

After SADS decided to break in 2003. He announced his solo in mid of the year and released Aurora single. And soon released several singles before he released his first solo album Poetry. But his solo sound is not like SADS, it's more jazzy and bluesy, although it could found a bit on softer Kuroyume's song. His way of singing is wild with a lot of vibrato technique. He influenced many vocalists like Dir en grey's Kyo and Merry's Gara.

Ketchup mania - PLEASE! MARRY ME!! PV



ketchup mania formed in October of 1999 in Nagoya with three main members (HIRO, DAI, and FANFAN) and one supporting member (Maashii), doing random lives. In January 2000 Katoosan joined as guitarist and the five released their first demo tape Sun Set Glow, containing three tracks. They released another demo tape and in April 2000 were included on the compilation album Destruction. Their song "Hime no Omoi" became very popular and served as the month-long Grand Prix song on ZIP-FM's "Rokkudi Vision Z" program in Nagoya. Later that year at a ZIP-FM sponsored event, ketchup mania was the opening act for bands such as Love Psychdelico, CYMBALS, and Ereki Hachimachi. The following year their first mini-album was released on Twister Records.

FANFAN left the band in December 2001, and Dai followed in April 2002 (he has since rejoined). Despite these losses, in December of 2002 Ketchup mania was voted #1 on the music program BREAK GATE. They released their next mini-album on Groovie Drunker, a sublabel of KOGA record, in 2003, and the next year released another mini-album on the sublabel. In 2003 ketchup mania added drummer Wani as drummer.

In 2005 ketchup mania moved to Tokyo, and bassist Yosei joined. After a third mini-album on Groovie Drunker in July 2005, the band was signed to Universal Music and released their first major single in December. They were given their first full-length album in February 2006 titled "Greetings From Tokyo". [wiki theppn]
