Just watching Ayumi Hamasaki's "Countdown Live 2002-2003" DVD and she has two backing singers, one of whom is Yuriko from FictionJunction.   I kept looking at her and thinking "I know you" and it was only when Ayu put her arm round her as they were singing and I got a really good...

[quote name='Petit Hulk' timestamp='1366985520' post='150237'] New instruments! Rina is finally using her new drums! :D I love their outfits, and I like the song. It's a good balance of their poppier and rock stuff that doesn't end up boring me. (But I eventually grew to love all those songs too hah...

Anybody know anything about Iwatani Tokiko and this album, I assume it's a "Greatest Hits"?

Stereopony with Evan Taubenfeld = Evanpony



Utada Hikaru uses a number of (I assume, she talks to them in English) American musicians on her live gigs.

Here and here.

First album from Kaori Oda (FictionJunction and Sound Horizon), having me some of that.

Additionally I would guess that "punishment" varies from managenment to management. Several of the H!P girls weren't treated that badly when their little mistakes emerged. I suppose Kago was the most affected but she had a history. Others like Abe, Yaguchi, Fujimoto rode out the scandal wi...
