I don't see why the source of the quotes is some sort of secret. It's from Keikaku.

If you want to see enthusiasm for Tokyo Jihen's new work, check out this thread on I Love Music. Only a few posts are my own.

Probably because Keikaku is well known for being the ass of all Japanese forums with the most elitist and annoying members on the planet?

You know, to imply theres less enthusiasm here just because some of it is negative is really off-base. The fact that some of us are so vocal means that there is some charge to do so. Theres plenty of music I dislike i dont spend a lick of time talking crap about.

Fan-dom is a two-way street guys. Have you guys REALLY never seen an onslaught of "doomsday posts" in response to a new album?? Its been the status quo at nearly EVERY other fan forum ive been to.

I laughed.
We all know it sounds light years better than Kyouiku.

(I'm talking purely about sound quality only.)

EDIT: On a different note, some of the stuff at Keikaku is really... urm... read it yourself.

It's just sad that a lot of the people who do like the new music are less vocal about it. But it seems that it is starting to change a bit ^__^

Maybe because it doesn't pierce their hearts so much like the good old days of Princess Ringo.

Um, not really. Do you prefer the terrible-music-loving JPop Music forum?

Oh, no. Definitely not, my friend. I don't like forums that cater to the VK crowds. I actually like a lot of the people involved with Keikoku since I knew them from Project J. However, that doesn't change the fact that they're elitist bastids. :)

I actually don't know any other Japanese music forums other than Jpopsuki and JPop Music. So, Project J? I'll check it out....

I guess I'm elitist then since I occasionally write for Keikaku?

Project J died a couple of years ago.
