NEWS: m-flo to make a comeback after 5 years
It has been confirmed that m-flo are set to make their comeback and release their first original album in 5 years. Now, here I thought that this year couldn't get better, so far we have Koda Kumi's JAPONESQUE (flawless), we know that Madonna and Christina are releasing new music soon and now m-flo. Now all I need is to know that Namie, Crystal and Hikki are all dropping albums this year and I'm a happy stan.
The album will be titled "SQUARE ONE" (very m-flo-esque might I add), and it's scheduled for a March 14th release. The album will contain 15 tracks and will be a mixture of both Taku's and Verbal's styles that they have been experimenting over the last couple of years.
After collaborating with 41 artist for their "LOVES"-series, Verbal has been busy as a member of "Teriyaki Boyz" and launching his solo carrier last March with his first album "VISIONAIR". For my taste, it was a complete let down, except for two tracks that where actually hot "BLACK OUT feat. Namie Amuro & Lil' Wayne" and "Fall Out feat. SHUNYA". Which also led to the biggest disaster to happen in J-Pop: The video for "BLACKOUT" was never released, something that I simply don't get. As if the Tohoku earthquake wasn't enough already. I still hope somebody would leak that damn video already.
Meanwhile, ☆Take Takahashi has remixed Calvin Harris "I'm not alone" and opened up the music service "Block FM", which concentrates on offering dance music.
There's no info yet on if they collaborated with anyone, but this is m-flo we're talking about they simply have to. I simply have some humble fan requests and they can have my money, collaboration with: Crystal Kay, Namie Amuro (she always gets the hottest songs with Taku and Verbal), Koda Kumi before she pops, also BoA, some Emi Hinouchi, Emily and Yoshika, oh and while we're at it some Bennie K, Monkey Majik and CHEMISTRY. I know it's nothing, so humble. Let's face it, me wants the "LOVES"-series back. Stop playing around, you know what's good for you, Taku bring the goods and Verbal get the swagga. Thank you, Bye.

New Video: Koda Kumi - Boom Boom Boys
Wow, wow, wow! I'm simply out of words, Kumi left me simply bald with this video.this video was so much fun to watch. Kumi did everything right, from the settings, to her clothes, over to the plot of the video.
Gosh, it's a complete fun song, about a woman who simply doesn't give a shit and wants to have fun. It's similiar to Rihanna's video for "We found love" but the more fun version. Drugs are a topic in this one, from drinking, to smoking and instead of taking pills she gave that whole thing an upgrade and went for the USB-stick. This is how Kumi rules.
She can deliver a message without even having to display actual drugs, but the effect is the same.
Dead, at the view of Kumi kicking that guy out of her bed after a party night. She killed me with that vomiting scene. It was uh-mazing!
I really started to love the song too. While on a first listen, I was not convinced yet...now I'm clearly sold.
The visuals and several plays made me love this song.
So, excuse me while I go and listen to "Japonesque". It leaked in its full glory. At this point I also would like to apologize in case there's no more updates from my side. She might have killed me with to much fierceness.
My body is simply not ready for this album, it's simply flawless.
I cannot, I simply CANNOT! DEAD!
New Video: Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe
It's official we have the first song of 2012 to classify as "the biggest piece of shit to have ever left a recording studio". I really don't get how people can like this shit? Are some people really that basic?
The title is so fitting, it's beyond incredible: "Yes, Nicki you is a stupid hoe!"
I kept on watching, and I really thought...hm, it might get better as the song goes on...FAIL!
It didn't! The song got only worse, even more so when she started singing like a little girl. That was the most annoying shit to ever gross my internet connection. I'm so not watching this again and if there's a god somewhere please let it crash down the Billboard charts and go down in flames. This simply can't be a hit.
I'm just really happy that the youtube crowd, seems to agree. The "Like" section shows clearly what people think of this piece of shit.
And as to the visuals? Why you had to go and recycle Lady Gaga's "big eyes" that she sported 3 years ago in bad romance? I was expecting so much better from you Nicki. Girl, bye!

New Video: Far East Movement - Jello feat. Rye Rye
Far East Movement are coming back soon with their forthcoming album Dirty Bass. Their first single is "Jello feat. Rye Rye". I noisy club-banger with a heavy bass. So nothing new there, actually I'm not feeling this song. It's not as good as "Like a G6" and neither as good as "Girls on the Dance floor".
Actually, the best part of the song is Rye Rye's rap. The video has some impersonators and Far East Movement crashing a party, so the usual theme. It's nothing special for them. Oh and by the way, don't confuse "Jello" for the delicious gelatin deserts. Jello equals to ass. Yeah, I know deep!
I wished they would have scratched this song, and went for "Make it bump feat. Koda Kumi". That would have made a nice video for sure. Instead we get, well...this.

Music Video: Koda Kumi - So Nice (Full PV)
F*ck, I'm stuck at work, and I'm not friggin' able to watch Kumi's new video for "So Nice" that just leaked some minutes ago. But thanks to "Kumi-flash" who posted the Download link from "c-k-jpopmusic.tctf.fr" you people can go ahead and watch it.
I normally don't post Download links, but hey it's Kumi...it's fuckin' worth it.
Stay tuned, for my review once I've been able to watch it. Will somebody please upload this ish to Youtube already???
As Britney once said:
...I need "So nice" right now!!!
Here's the download link!
Edit: 5:05pm - and for the people who don't want to download here's a stream.
Edit 9:39 - Well, since it's almost impossible to find a good streaming video of "So nice" that you can actually an embed video, I'll just make it short this time.
Review: Overall I really have to say that I'm very impressed with the visuals for "So nice". Kumi looks stunning, beautiful, like the most beautiful Geisha to have graced the face of Japan. If I'd have to get me a hooker, please tell me where I can sign to get me Kumi. She was really making me question my sexuality. The kimonos were flawless, the hair was amazing and those fierce high-heels combined with the kimono, that's fashion-perfection.
The song is as I already mentioned a mixture between "Under", "Amai Wana" and most notably "Candy". In fact Mr. Blistah is featuring, which makes sense because it's the exact same music direction as "Candy" was: an oriental, R&B banger with a heavy delicious bass to die for.
Here I'm left...my body is simply not ready for so much fierceness. Roll over January 25th I think I can speak for everybody:
We need Japonesque naaaaooohhhh!
Koda Kumi releases second wave of PV previews for JAPONESQUE
Koda Kumi is really not playing this time around, she means serious business and is coming for wigs. She just released the second portion of PV previews for her newest upcoming album "Japonesque".
Let me tell you they're so yummy!!!
She just went, and shamed all them K-Pop and J-Pop bitches, with a 30 seconds preview for "Lay Down". I can't remember the last time, I saw such high production values on a video clip, even more so coming from Koda Kumi. This era is shitting all over her previous work. I can see Ayumi holding on to her wig. I love me some Namie, but she left that woman bald. She just snatched C.L.'s and Minzy's wigs, so much swagger in such a short amount of time.
Lessers? Check your wigs at the counter.
Kumi just blew the roof off.
Here's my second short review for all the released previews. More after the jump.
