The vocoder was interesting. When I read the term "vocoder" I was expecting something autotuned like Eiffel 65, and I was wondering why Miwa would need something like that! But it's really more like a transistor radio filter, like "Video Killed the Radio Star", and also like John Lennon used to use...

I suppose it must be the first time DCT has used a vocoder on one of their songs? On my first hearing I got a bit shocked to actually hear Miwa's voice thru a vocoder, it is just a waste for someone who sings like she does. But this is one FINE dance pop song! It is such a shame it wasn't released a...

Guys, I'm very happy to say tell you that I have joined a chorus. It has been always been a dream of mine to become a singer. If I could covert 1% of the love for singing in talent, I would be as good as Miwa. ^^;;; I'm actually hoping to improve my skills but so far I'm having a blast on this choru...

I haven't had time or peace of mind to sit down and even turn on the subs on the DVD to pay attention to the lyrics yet. But one line of the lyric sticks to my head every time I hear the song "tomodachi no mae de nakinasai" / "cry in front of your friends". "Asa ga Mata Kuru" is probably the most up...

Zard had a problem many pop acts have even in America: not having a set fix set of composers. Zard's record company dumped the guy who came up with Makenaide and all those hits from the 90s. From there it went down hill fast (for me). GODSPEED! will be available in full on iTunes Store starting in F...

d'oh! i wonder what, and how much, plastic surgery Miwa has had done... (Miwa, whyyyy!?) She is no Ayumi Hamasaki. I suppose it must not be easy to rely on your looks for your job. Even Masa recently had surgery on his neck. I don't blame them though. I like Kouhaku performances because they are ex...

It has a soaring, inspiring sound you might expect of an Olympic theme. You comment reminded me of Zard's Get U're Dream (sic). I loved to hate that song and the single came with 4 different remixes... it was painful to me to listen to it! :P Since I heard it on the commercial, this arrangement got...

If I did get it right, they got the original masters of all songs from the albums "Diamond 15" to "Dori Suru?" then muted the vocals *and* back vocals. Since their singles never had karaoke tracks on them. This is way beyond cool. Not only getting to hear Masa's fine arrangements but being able to s...

I was watching this performance and just now I realized no one mentioned it here. Miwa says "minna, ai suru hito ni todoku you ni utae" (and yes, she did say that on Proud of You on The Love Rocks DVD) which I would translate as "sing to reach the person that you love". And then she goes "mou aenai ...

It is available already on the popular website. I will be ripping it off that 19 GB torrent as soon as my download finishes. :shock: DCT performed a Middle of Nowhere/Sono Saki e medley. Miwa was awesome as usual, Masa was even genkier than usual. ^^ I still think he could sing Sono Saki e along wit...

Usually they pick their most successful of the year. But I guess Tsurete Tsurete because it was their first #1 single since Asa ga Mata Kuru. Could it be a Good Bye My School Days / Sono Saki e medley? That'd be cool! ^^ Which reminds me I need to share their Kouhaku performances with you guys. I ma...

This is HUGE!!!! YAY!!! They are back!!! ^^

What song are they going to play? Tsuretette Tsuretette?

They had a pretty long hiatus from TV performances from 2001 to 2004. Although I do have the whole MS episode from 2004 which was the first TV show they did in years, I can't for the life of me understand the interview. :x I know they are asked what happened but then my brain shuts off. I shall put ...

The bassline on the intro to 'Kessen' sounds like the intro to 'Let's Groove' transposed into a minor key- good ear, nakoruru. I can't take credits for this one. Kudou told me about this song in one of those nights we spent on Utatane chatting. I miss the times I used to spend nights on the compute...

Have you guys ever heard Earth, Wind and Fire's "Let's Groove"? I'm quite sure this song inspired Kessen wa Kinyoubi. Once you hear it, you will see what I mean. ^^ I knew both of these songs mentioned here but as everything I heard on the radio as a kid, I had no idea the name of the songs. I reall...
