If you dunno Orange Range I'd wonder if something's wrong with you, then advise you to look up some of their stuff. These guys were probably the first J-band I really got into. The first song of theirs I heard (thanks to Lina) was Shanghai Honey. My fav member is Yamato (high vocalist) , probably because I did a really weak cosplay of him in the Viva Rock mv. Anyone else like Orange Range? Fav. member or songs?

Of course I love Orange Range, ever since I heard them on Popjapantv...and then even more when I had you, Shel, hunt down the "Shanghai Honey" mp3. My favorite member is Naoto because he's so fricking cute and funny. I love to read or watch interviews just to read or hear what he has to say. My favorite song is "Nagisa no Roko Girl" haha not really, but I LOVE every song I've heard so far...which would be all of them. My favorites change on whatever mood I'm in, but just for the sake of ending this rambling, I'll say "Shanghai Honey".

Kirikirimaaaaaaai! Love Orange Range. Fav. Member: I like em all, but Naota's the cutest! (then Katchan!) Fav. Song: I like pretty much all of their songs that I've heard. But... my favorite would probably be.. um... Hard choice, no daaaaa. Er...Michishirube~a road home~ I guess.

Naoto ...have you guys seen any of Orange Range's live performances? I love them. They're just so energetic. I hope I get to go to one someday.

I've seen the one that was uploaded in the Multimedia section. Si, very energetic. It would be so awesome, and so much fun to go see them.

You haven't seen anything yet...well actually you have, but you'd never remember. The one I put up in the Multimedia section was pretty sucky compared to their other stuff. I'll try to find some other performances on the net and upload em.

the Love Parade video has been out for a couple days (currently uploading). I'm honestly not big fan of the song, but the video's alright. Katchan cut his hair and looks sooooooooooooooooooo cute. Naoto-baby appears to be healthy and his hair's getting a bit long, very sexy. I knew it had happened, but I forgot to post about it, Naoto turned 22 on the 8th.

This was quite a big controversy a couple monthes ago. The band never denied stealing/sampling music as most of the sampling was obvious and some of it was as a parody. It's just that for somethings Sony never printed credits for the original artists...or something like that. I didn't think it was that that big of a deal (besides the band's morale afterwards), until I saw this. I can't believe how much they took. It's rather depressing, but...I still support them...because Naoto's hot.

It is depressing, but I don't feel any different about them. A lot of artists I like do this, so I'm probably just used to it (including Ao, who... steals his own music.... somehow ;o.x).

What do you guys think of their latest single?
It's currently #1 on the Oricon, but I'm slightly disappointed because I was looking forward to a happy upbeat song, but I'm sure they'll deliver next time with "Onegai! Senorita" (in just a couple days).

I didn't think they took -that- much from other songs/artists, but like rekkusu, I don't feel any different about them.

You have to admit though, when you still from Mario, it's pretty sad.

I mean, of all the kick ass cali gari songs.... they had to rip off the shittiest one. XD I think it's hilarious. I haven't heard the new single yet. ;-; My J-music life has been put on hold until finals and stuff end. I'll definatly get Senorita though. XD
