DJ Crono Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi all, This is for anyone who is interested in JPOP. Japan's #1 boy band, KAT-TUN, is releasing their new album "Break the Records - by you & for you -" this month on the 29th. I wrote the bonus track for this album. My song is entitled "MOON", it's track 16. It's a heavy metal / classic Japanese shamisen song. You can hear the "leaked" version of my song here (if you're interested) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlDb85bfDec or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiJ2lKw16A8 And for those interested in purchasing the album itself, here are some helpful links. It's on pre-order now. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=JACA-5143 http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/3566224 http://forest.kinokuniya.co.jp/ItemIntro/185883 Thanks for reading. Here's hoping for good sales opening week =) ~Jovette Rivera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinewav Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Why is it that when an OC Remixer posts here saying that he wrote a "heavy metal / classic Japanese shamisen song" for "Japan's #1 boy band", it doesn't surprise me in the slightest? Anyway, for what it's worth, it a pretty sweet track. Very catchy. Key change FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i was going to post here and make fun of you for liking jpop, but that song is really great. good work, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Friggin awesome!!! Great job Jovette! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelmojo Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 That song is pretty cool. I'm only a casual J-pop fan myself, mostly sticking to Utada Hikaru and Angela Aki. In fact this is probably the first time I've heard a J-pop song with male singers and instantly liked it. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I've listened to altogether too much jpop in the past two months, but I guess I'll give it a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 youtube is ruining the nuances of the recording, but it's a very solid song. Nice work dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega12 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow, this thread is not what I expected it to be! That's a pretty awesome song there, DJ Crono. I had no idea that DJ Crono was doing commercial JPop songs! I've always loved your OC ReMixes, so I will definitely pick this up in opening week to try to boost its sales for you (and I've never even really listened to KAT-TUN much before ). Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work! Aahhh....DJ Crono, there's a name I haven't used in a looong time I always go by my real name these days, but it's nostalgic to hear it again, heh. If you buy the album it's much appreciated of course. Thank you. And thanks to everyone else for the kind words. BTW, kudos to Andrew for the HEROES bit; cool beans man.

OverCoat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sup Jovette, we miss you at Anime Remix! So this is what you've been up to since you were in that visual kei band, eh? This is pretty ace, I like it a whole lot better than that last band you were in [the name escapes me at the moment], I'm just not into the whole visual kei thing. This guy is though: GIRUGAMESH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been living here in Japan for about a year now. I'm signed to an entertainment agency, so it keeps me pretty busy. I got a mix coming out for the Seiken Densetsu 3 Project, buuut that's about it for remixes these days. My band back in the day was called MARS. Yeah that was a while ago >__> Anways, take it easy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Suh-weet. Awesome fusion of elements. I don't have much experience with jpop/rock outside of Dragon Ash, Lareine, and The Pillows, but I think I need to add these guys to the roster. Great work!
