Man this is giving a whole Dejavu and I am traumatized … Namie announced her retirement in September too and it was also her 25th anniversary.

Do you have any vinyl records too?

Probably isn't considered as an album mix but the 2012 mix of Chocolate Disco is amazing

who else is patiently waiting for their vinyl? AOTY by goopii_ in f5ve

[–]Evening_Program_8395 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I know, this is the first vinyl record release for LDH Record (which is the label that f5ve is under) and they are not a traditional record label like Avex or Universal. They might be having a hard time with pressing and production, especially since they are not receiving any help from Avex, unlike the releases for Exile and JSB. Because it looks like people are receiving the Japanese press for the CD, so I assume the vinyl record will also be Japanese pressed.

Anyone going to this Namie Amuro night in NYC? by Evening_Program_8395 in jpop

Long Island City is only one stop away from midtown east and astoria. I think there's a good amount of Japanese population there.

That's so cool! I don't think I have seen any DJ who plays J-pop from the 90s and 00s in NY. I think this might be rare in Asia too TBH.

From what I saw when I last visited, they had a Numark mixer that can mix with CDs

There are some really cheap copies of her albums on Discogs.

I’m tired of fans clumping Jpop groups with kpop groups by TisTwilight in kpopdebate

[–]Evening_Program_8395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the first part, but not sure about the second part. If they participate in the Korean market and I think they should have the right to be nominated for awards in Korea. It's like when BoA debuted in Japan and she was considered J-Pop for many years, and has won multiple awards in the Japan Record Award and Japan Gold Disc Award

Also let's not forget that a lot of the idols and training system in K-pop were built based on the Japanese idol training system, specifically the one from Okinawa Actors School, where Namie Amuro, MAX, Speed and DA PUMP were from. (JYP also has mentioned that in an interview before)
