Those other boy bands! pt.10 : aLovaL Boys

Hello sweet dear mermaids!

Yeay! This happens to be my tenth post on Those other boy bands! post,honestly I really need to change the name of the topic,but since I've been using it up till now...I guess I have no choice but to just stick with this..so sorry for the lame post name... .__.

Anyway,recently I posted a poll asking if you want me to continue this post,majority says 'Yes' and 'I don't mind'...so here I am~

This time,it isn't just some random boy band and I am pretty sure some (or even most) of you might already know this band~^^
Yeap! this time I am featuring...

aLovaL Boys

Recognize them? ^^ or recognize one of the member even? *smirk*
Yes? no?^^
Well actually,this is Nakajima Raiya's, Nakajima Yuto of Hey! Say! JUMP's lil brother, group~^^
Spot him at the far left end?^^

So I stumbled upon them by accident,honestly I didn't know Raiya was part of a group, I mean I was award that he was part of the entertainment industry like his brother but never knew he is within a group~
So when I found this group out (like at 4AM), I recognize his face but was not sure if it was Raiya until I read their profile~~-____-
I was so excited I told AiyAiy immediately!
So let's dive into this group~~^^

aLovaL boys is dance and vocal group consisting of 10 members from avex.
I am not sure when they are formed,but according their facebook, they are formed on 29th April 2013
So this group has been around for a year~~~^^

aLovaL :

"a" stands for 'avex'

"Lova" taken from 'novato' in Spanish meaning "Rookie"

"aL" taken from English "Global"

Now, aLovaL Boys are divided into two groups of five members ; EAST and WEST.
Let's start with aLovaL Boys WEST~^^ since they are the half who have released a music video~^^

WEST was first a four member group but recently,they added Teshima Masaki~ that's why I couldn't find his birthdate~ (sorry abut that~)
Anyway,I have a crush on Kouhei...so...yeah~ ._____.
So do follow them on twitter and track their blog~^^
| staff twitter | Naoto's blog | Shuto's blog | Kouhei's blog | Ryoki's blog | Masaki's blog |

Now,let's move on to aLovaL boys EAST!!^^

EAST group is sooooo adorable! and their songs aren't bad too~^^ plus Raiya is the tallest one and to be frank every single thing of him reminds me of Yuto!o_o...from his voice,to his movement and everything!
Anyway,follow them on twitter and blogs~^^
| Mashima's twitter | Haruki's twitter | Raiya's twitter |  Shingo's twitter | Ryusei's twitter |

Now minna~^^
As usual their videos and songs!^^
Here is aLovaL Boys WEST 'Image'~^^

"Image" is a very nice song,I love the music and beat and their voice aren't bad either~ Though I do think they deserve a better music video~

and here's aLovaL Boys EAST "She's My Girl"

"She's My Girl" sounds a bit like "Image" but still a nice upbeat song...and OH MY JELLY Raiya sounds like Yuto!! ><
Here's EAST's ballad song

I don't know the name of this song but I still prefer "She's My Girl" somehow~

aLovaL Boys in my opinion is a group that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to keep track on,cos I love the songs they have so far,the members are both good-looking and adorable and they too have skills in dancing~^^
Will they make a breakthrough internationally? I don't know,cos right now I'm guessing aLovaL international fans are derived from JUMP's fans cos of Raiya...
Are they unique? can they stand out? Not sure too cos I'm pretty sure they are plenty of groups out there in Japan who adapted the same concept.
However, I do believe aLovaL has charm! To me their charm has attracted me~^^
I'm sorry I couldn't find other infos,since they are quite a new group...just starting to shine,just keep on the look out okay?^^

Sooo that's all I have so far,I'm still very very new to this group but I'm already in love with them.
If you know anything more about them,so leave a comment,and if there's any mistake please correct me~

Oh yeah,since this already my 10th post, the next post will be more about BEE SHUFFLE ,Vimclip, Da-iCE, SIGN and PrizmaX~^^
Cos I want to talk more about them and share what I found!^^
Plus,I will feature a another boy group that is just sooooooo cool!
So seeya next time!^^

Thank you~^^

so that I may know if you want me to continue introducing you other boy bands other than Johnny's boy bands or not~^^
Thank you in advance~^^

Okay let's move on!
This time I am featuring the newly debuted hottie and oh-so handsome boy band named...SOLIDEMO!^^

 

Just look at them!! Look at how hot they are~~~!!!!! ><

Hehehe anyway,let me give a brief intro of SOLIDEMO.

SOLIDEMO is a boy band or boy group comprises of 8 members who are all 180cm and above!

So yes,they are all very tall! the tallest member towered 189cm (actually it's 189.98cm =_=)

SOLIDEMO's named is the combination of SOLID + EMO~^^

For further info about them,please go their official website~^^

Now let's meet the members~^^ (and know how tall they are...o_o)

They are all so good looking~^^ and all of them sings too! which for me is a good thing cos lately I stumbled upon boy bands which only has few of them singing while the rest are dancers..I gotta say, I'm getting tired of that concept. =_=
And Akito and Yuki are such cuties!!!! ><

As I said,they just releases their debut single entitled 'The One'~
A lovely and beautiful song indeed!^^



Then their B-side song 'Next To You' is also a beautiful and soothing song~^^



I love both songs and I love their voices~^^
But I think you should listen to 'Come Back to Me' too~ Cos it's my favourite~^^


Oh yeah,one thing I should mention ,before they debut,they did many covers too..you can find them on their official Youtube channel~^^

Anyway, SOLIDEMO is definitely a different boy group that I have ever came across to in Jpop, and I love that fact~^^
So it's like,while other boy bands or groups are busy sticking to the typical and expected concept and image, SOLIDEMO follows a more mature ,different and a fresher concept, if I do say so myself~^^
I love that they are good-looking men with beautiful voices singing wonderful songs!~
but not only that,I feel like there is something more to look forward to these lads and this is just the beginning! Can't wait for more of their songs and PVs!
What do you think minna?^^
Nonetheless support SOLIDEMO minna~^^

Sorry I couldn't write up a good post ^_^;...it's just one of those days~
Anyway, if you want download links to their songs above, please request for them in the comment and I will provide them as soon as I can~^^
Thank you!^^

Those other boy bands! pt.8 : BEE SHUFFLE

 Konnichiwa minna-san~^^

Yay! Here is another post on 'Those other boybands!', heeheehee it has become quite a regular topic nee~^^
For those who doesn't know about this post,let me briefly explain it to you. This where I get to introduce other boy bands which have just debuted, or not highly recognized by international fans. Initially it was just a random post,until I found many boy bands that haven't heard of and so decided to share them with you~^^
And please bear in mind, they are not Johnny's groups~

This time let me introduce you to..

BEE SHUFFLE!!!! 

This boy group comprises of 5 boys of Japanese and Korean (2 Japanese and 3 Korean) who was selected in an audition held for Japan and Korea.

And it was recently updated by one of the members that another Japanese member will be added soon!^^ Yay! Now it's even.

Before I could introduce them further, let's get to the boys first nee?^^

 

Iinee~~^^

And all of them are adorably charming too!!^^

If you go to their profile on their website the boys actually mention their special skills and I find it very cute and interesting~

Plus the Korean knows have to speak Japanese while the Japanese knows how to speak Korean too~^^ (Hope that this ability will be an advantage for them to go further beyond Japan~^^)

Oh and they also have their own twitter, be sure to follow them!!^^

So Bee Shuffle just recently debuted at the beginning of February this year with the single "Welcome To The Shuffle"

BUT!

There's something that you need to know, before they could debut, Bee Shuffle needed to reach a certain goal before they could officially announced their debut!

And yes,the charming five boys did it! Oh in tears they were when it was announced!!!^^

You can watch their journey to fame on their Youtube Channel

But first,let's watch their "Welcome To The Shuffle" PV~^^

 

And here is BEE SHUFFLE performing 'Baby I Love you'

I don't know why and how, when I first know them, I was instantly charmed by them.

Their song "Welcome to the Shuffle" is a cute upbeat song but not strong enough to stand out among the other highly-known and experienced boy bands out there, the same goes to their other songs.

So I need to keep on the lookout for them to know what kind of music and image are they bringing to the table~

But guess it's the concept of having Japan and Korean merged into one group give me high hopes for them to succeed further in the entertainment industry~

Plus these boys are just adorable when I read their tweets!!!><

So I wish Bee Shuffle all the best!!!^^ I will be rooting for you~~^^

Keep on the lookout for BEE SHUFFLE minna~^^

Thank you!^^

Those other boy bands! pt.7 : Da-iCE

Hello there!!!^^

I know it's been awhile since I post on this topic about other boy bands (other than the Johnnys~)
So I'm sorry for that.
To be honest I was afraid of running out of boy bands to introduce or to get more recognition...but yeah, I don't think so...
Recently I came across Da-iCE as they are announcing their major debut with their debut single released next year. (on Tokyohive)
So they happen to be the boy band I want to talk about right now.

I bet you know them already, but I just knew about them a few days ago and was reluctant to feature them in 'Those other boy bands' post...
because they are not new and yes a number of people already know about them...
However,how they end up here is due to their awesome song,voices and dance!
Which are something that must be given more recognition of.

Here are their profile of five members in case you are unfamiliar of them..

(Official site)

Basically, I don't know much about them other than they follow the vocal and dance group concept
You know the some will sing and the rest will dance concept...
So if you know them more, feel free leave the infos in the comment
Actually I'm getting tired with this concept, it was okay when some did it but now most of the boy bands are doing so...
But Da-iCE is a group you should listen too because I've been listening to their 'I'll be back' song all night!
And I fell for Sota's voice ^_____^ 

Here listen to them~

Da-iCE - I'll be back
 

Da-iCE - Splash

 

Now watch they dance! They're really good~^^
Da-iCE - I'll Be Back ~Dance ver.~

 

Well you can find more of their videos on Youtube really~ plus Sota and Udai ever did a collaboration with Vimclip (if you haven't heard of Vimclip go here, I did a post on them before~^^)

So,overall I really like Da-iCE and I am so impress of their talents!
I love their dance and voices,very different from what I have heard from J-boybands before
And their songs are not bad too~^^
The fact that I fell for their songs instantly make me look forward to them, espcially now that they are debuting~
So let's all support Da-iCE!!^^
But just wish that they are more boy bands that do not follow the vocal/dance concept~ -_____-

Thank you^^

Those other boy bands! pt.6 : PrizmaX

Hayyyyy~~~^^

As you can see I've been idol hunting again...
and this time it's PrizmaX

Maybe most of you have heard of them before...
this is because the group was formed back in 2002!!! ( walao eh~!)
But honestly I've never heard of them!...
...just knew them today~^^
and how so glad and grateful I am to have found/stumbled/bumped upon them!
 
So for those who do not know them...feel free to scroll down and read upon my findings after this expedition...heheh^^

Though was formed like 10 years ago
They've just released a single last March entitled 'Mysterious Eyes/ GO!' (to download go here^^)
PrizmaX is a boyband under the same agency as 'BULLET TRAIN' and 'DISH//' too!!!^^
unfortunately I do not know about their history...so I'm just going to share infos which I know.

But before moving on to that let's get to know the members^^

Of course at first the member which caught my eyes was Shimizu Daiki...because of the name*^^*
But all of them are cute and funny! (as observed from their PV)
Anyway I know you are wondering why the guy in pink is named 'Tim' then that smiley lad is named 'Win' and on top of that, though not shown here, their names are spelled in Katakana~~~
Kurokawa is American and Morisaki is Burmese~^^

Just so you actually skipped to the bottom to watch their PV first than reading this...I think you could've guessed that the two lads are half-Japanese~^^
If you didn't watch the PV first and take your time to read this,which I so thank you very wholly much~,prepare to be amazed by their song!!!^^

So here ya go~^^

From the Youtube comments, they kinda compared them to One Direction...
firstly of course because of the guitar intro and then the PV where they just randomly do anything...with little dances...
But since I am Jpop bias...I will not compare them to anyone^^

I was surprise that the song started off with English and pronounced so perfect too!
But it was the song and the funniness of the PV made me repeat and watch it over and over again!!!
I would admit, 'GO!' deserves a better PV though...
...but I still love it^^

Anyway, since PrizmaX is a group formed so long ago, there are other videos of their performances (not PV unfortunately) found on Youtube. Quite a lot so I won't post them here....sorry...

My Comment:
I don't know where PrizmaX stand internationally as in known worldwide by Jpop lovers because I haven't heard any of the people I know mentioning them..
....or maybe it's just me dwelling in the Wonderful World of Johnnys till so far away from other Jpop bands...-_______-
But what I am really sure PrizmaX is very promising!
I can't quite comment on them yet for their PV and song is so familiar...
Still I look forward to them!^^
Good Luck!

Thank you^^

Those other boy bands! pt.5 : DISH//

Hello minna!^^

Today's boyband is...DISH//
Yes, another boy band post~~ what can I say? I love idol-hunting~^^
Anyway...
This is actually a coincidence!^^ (oh not to mention the random band names of them~~~=_=")

When I stumbled upon 'BULLET TRAIN' boyband previously I also came across DISH//~~^^
Since both are from Stardust!
And...
Today I found out that DISH// is making their major debut this June!...and I thought they've already debuted~~ (Tokyohive)
Well they did debut before this but...not as big I guess? (like my friend said 'Minor debut')

DISH// is a 4-member boyband who plays instruments and sing!...I mean all of them sing!!^^
They are really young,ranging from the age of 1995-1998!

Here are the members~

Dibs on Masaki and Takumi!!!!^^
Maa~~ Masaki is cute ne~~*^^* so is Takumi~~~
Ryuji look so happii~~~ wanna pinch him!^^
and To-i looks like a funny guy^^
Yes, I'm officially calling them my lil brothers from another agency~^^

So far I've only listened and watched one of their PV; 'Peter Pan Syndrome', which is a fun video and catchy song too!^^
So here~^^

My comment:
DISH// seems like a very promising band, they have this fun and kawaii image of them that just screams...FUN!!
So I'm guessing that their songs and PVs will also be fun like them!^^
Let's wait for their major debut then minna!^^


Thank You!^^

Those other boy bands! pt.4 : BULLET TRAIN (超特急)

Hello minna!^^

Well from the title...it kinda doesn't make sense ne?
I mean a boyband? but then a bullet train? what? 0,o

Actually the name of the boyband is 'BULLET TRAIN' or  超特急 (Chō tokkyū)
Consists of 7 members from Stardust...
and they just debuted last year!^^
For those who don't know them...I'll introduce^^

Well I just knew about them today...let just say I went idol hunting and stumbled upon them~^^

BULLET TRAIN (lets just stick to this name~) has a concept the same as GENERATION.
You know the only-some-will-sing-and-the-rest-will-dance kinda concept...
Bullet Train is likewise because it only has 2 vocals and 5 dancers~

The members,however, are much younger^^
Ranging from 1994-1996....=_="...but ii-yo!^^ They're so cute!^^ (and I'm pretty sure if you're a JE fan you could accept younger idols easily...like I have~)
Here are the members~^^

 Kawaii ne???^^
I think my favourite is Kai and Takuya~^^
But mite,look at Yusuke...he actually reminds me of Gongchan from B1A4 (maybe it's the pic~)

They've released 3 singles so far;
1st single: TRAIN
2nd single: Shake Body
3rd single: Policemen

Here are the PVs^^

Bullet Train - TRAIN
Bullet Train - Shake Body


Bullet Train - Policemen

Bullet Train - Policemen


Well,to be honest Bullet Train hasn't got their own style yet...
I mean their PVs or songs seem like you've heard and seen them from somewhere before.
But they look promising!^^
They have cool dance moves and great singing voice too!^^
Plus! THEY ARE PRETTY BOYS!...no fangirl could refuse princes like them~^^

I haven't got any more news regarding them...beside I just found out about them today anyway...
I am just happy that I know them!^^
Yay! MORE BOYBANDS!!!!!!^^

So,what do you think?

Thank You

Those other boy bands! pt.2 : Vimclip

Hey minna! I'm back!
Sorry for not being here for awhile...well it's exam week so I have to refrain myself from going on the internet (IT WAS TORTURE!!! >,<)

So now that I'm back and yes with this topic like the previous one..
..though this time is not about missing boy bands and such..
actually this is not meant to have a part 2 topic but since...
..my absence has led me to these two boybands
One being new to me ..
..and the other is known but I'm not so very into them~~

Let's start with this boy band called 'Vimclip'
Here are their members~^^

Reo is kinda kawaii~~~^^ an awesome dancer too
They are going to release a new mini debut album this 18th July!^^
which is a catchy song!!^^

Here is a short preview to the song 'BA+BA+BYE"~~ (release 4th July)

 

Seriously, I look forward to them^^
And I'm quite surprise I never heard of them before!!!!! >,<
(official website)

Next is LEAD!!!
I know them but I think I've listened to them like twice only
But now that they are going to release a new album (click here for further info)
...it led me to "Stand and Fight" PV
THEIR DANCE IS FLAWLESS!!!!

The song is quite nice too!^^

Well speaking of PV....
KAT-TUN's 'TO THE LIMIT' PV IS AWESOME!!!!!!
...will talk about this on the next post!^^
Oh..and I wish there are ging to be something new for D☆DATE soon...

I am so proud of this fandom^^
Thank you

Those other boy bands!

Of course most famous Boy bands in Japan come from JE or Johnny Jimusho~ (or something like that...I'm stuck in this fandom~)

none other than the HSJ to be the header of this post~

but...I do know some other Boy bands that I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!..
okay,okay..it's only one group called "SIGN"...

They released a single called...well "SIGN" so when the PV was out it had SIGN SIGN...(I know it's confusing not to mention the difficulty to search them on google!)
SIGN is under Amuse if I'm not mistaken.

I know one of the member's name,it's Takuya something something~ I once had his blog..

take a look at the video...
