The movie is not starring AKB48 but Nogizaka46 to be correct :-)
The movie premiers June 28.
杉沢村都市伝説 劇場版

Btw the preview of Kurai Nichiyoubi (dark Sunday) @ iTunes sounds awesome.

I have heard the EP in full now, gotta say it's way more enjoyable than I thought it would be. The new version of NO-MAN is absolutely gorgeous and the ending is breathtaking. Dream Box is full is far more rewarding than hearing the first two minutes, and Kurai Nichiyoubi is totally great- I want a link to the original version.

I'm assuming there will be a release to tie in the with Spiral of Yarn tour coming up in Jan/Feb...

Also managed to finally get hold of the DVD "Live Clips from Usotsukist". I love every performance on it, seems weird that they made it so damn hard to get hold of.

OK, I mentioned it briefly on the 2015 Music Thread, but I think I really under-appreciated how big the news is.

Kominami has not just died a quiet death like I was fearing afterall, she has a new album out in December. It's titled "僕を救ってくれなかった君へ" and there's not much info, apart from it having 12 tracks.

I still haven't given up on her like so many others seem to have done. Chimera, while it wasn't perfect, was still probably one of my favorite pop rock albums of it's year. I still think given the right push, she can elevate her music to the level I know she's got inside. Hopefully this album sounds more like her live arrangements/performances. But maybe not. We will see. Either way, it's gonna be nice to hear her voice once again- which I am indeed a HUGE fan of.

That info again:

2ndアルバム僕を救ってくれなかった君へ2015年12月2日発売初回盤(CD+DVD):3,700円+税 通常盤(CD):3,000円+税

"Kominami has not just died a quiet death"... For a minute I thought she actually had died and my heart was broken hahaha.

I always liked her and her passionate approach to her sound. I thought Chimera was a great album, too. Glad to hear she's coming back with another full length album that's not an EP.

I just want to hear her voice again. It's what's missing in Jpop right now for me.

I have a feeling at least some of this album will be tracks from Do Do Airuku and Toshi Densetsu Club... but at least it is guaranteed to have more new tracks than Chimera did. This is a problem in Japanese music in general though. I hope mastering isn't too bad- but I'm iffy with anything on Universal nowadays.

Also I wrote this back in 2013

I got Oomori and Hamada right. Now we wait to see if Kominami can deliver.

I hadn't expected Ringo to flatline back then though, that was something my divine thought did not foretell.

Shit, me too. I was devastated for a second.

I really hope this one's good. She's very talented but aside from maybe Waraningyou Uri No Shoujo I don't think she's done anything incredible just yet. She's definitely the most obviously Ringo-influenced artist out there at the moment and it'd be cool to see her step out of that shadow.

not crazy about the cover and a little disappointed to see 3355411 on there but I'm also willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that was always intended to be on the album, even if that track came out two years ago. Please be good...

I hope it's a rearrangement, the snippet of NO-MAN is.
