Dream Road radio preview.


This sounds very indies idol to me but with saxes thrown in.

[DonJuan]

This could run on our national radio channels and would become a hit.

[JPope]

I like Dream Road as a song, but I'm not too crazy about the arrangement. The instrumental hook is really good and super catchy, but it could (and should, IMO) be so much more powerful.

[kira]

I actually really like Dream Road, which I wasn't expecting at all.
 
Someone in the comments in the concert recording noted the sax sounds like the sax in a Bakuste song "他の男の子とわざとイチャイチャした" and I went and looked it up, it does sound similar.

[Anderei]

It sounds like a Bakusute song. Tsunku does all their music, even now, so it's not surprising.

[JPope]

I'm not hearing any sax, lol. Are you guys talking about the kazoo-sounding synth?
 
The instrumental riff would sound killer with a straight Eurobeat arrangement, although Eurobeat is rather passe these days. The more I listen to this, the more I wish it had been given to Morning Musume.

[rallyleo]

Dream Road is definitely (and surprisingly) in tune with current western pop music trends, which is rather surprising since its H!P.

[Meikochi]

I quite like Dream Road but dance moves are...

[kira]

I don't think Dream Road is a song you could easily choreograph for, since I just imagine people jumping around. Though the slow-motion was strange (and yet I expected it).

[DonJuan]

Well, Yoshiko is not good with slow songs. But yeah, it's a difficult song to create a choreography for.

[Shoujo Q]

Live of KEEP ON Joshou Shikou!!, it was said this song was inspired by Michael Jackson and they weren't kidding. From the dance to Sayuki's little heehee line.

[WonderBuono]

Dream Road has some elements of a great song, I was super excited from the first measure, but it just never quite got there for me. I kept waiting for it to pick up, but something was just missing in the arrangement.

[Farrah]

I think I'll enjoy the studio version of Keep On.  Something about J=J live performances is just SO low energy.  I feel like Sayuki is the only one who puts any energy into her vocals.

I never noticed this, but it's really apparent in this performance.

This and her enthusiastic dancing are what caught my eye right away and made her snag and maintain her number one spot in the group for me.

[Solarblade]

Single was pushed back to 10/26 according to the main site.

[yuzuriha]

Goddammit, I was gonna have this and momoclo thrown in the same order.

[JoshuaJSlone]

Wow, so this makes another almost 3 month gap in H!P releases. Kobushi's was July 27, and Tsubaki's latest DVD indie August 6.

[Anderei]

Probably didn't have time to do the events they wanted for it due to concerts and all that. Feels super last minute since we already have radio and outfit previews though.

[Elpis]

That's disappointing but I guess it makes sense why we didn't get any MV previews on H!S this morning

[momoirosaya]

Can't believe JJ will have only released one single this year.

[Solarblade]

^ forget about Next is you / Karada Dake ga?


Also they only had one single last year

[momoirosaya]

Oh that was this year? I probably forgot about because I don't like either of those songs.

[Anderei]

Dream Road live on this episode of The Girls Live.
 
We're probably going to get a billion lives of all these tracks on this show before the single actually comes out.

[Anderei]

Ashita Yarou live from The Girls Live
 
I wonder how much they've practiced the choreo for this. No one seemed very into it, and they were crazy out of sync in certain spots.
 
Also, new profile photos. I'm guessing these are the Keep On outfits, since I'm assuming the ones from the live I just posted are the official outfits.
 

 

 

 

 

[TicTacAnyone]

They're probably really over-working the girls, honestly.... The whole idea of this long-ass tour was stupid, imo. I like the song, though.

[Revangelis]

Upcoming has footage of the girls recording KEEP ON.

[Anderei]

Keep on Performance at 11:34.

[JPope]

<div>From the Aug 12 Upcoming: DANCE☆MAN, WATA-BOO and JUMP MAN recording JJ's Keep On. I want to believe that this is how every DANCE☆MAN recording session goes: Fujisawa in full DANCE☆MAN regalia, JUMP MAN in ganguro girl get up, and WATA-BOO blowing everyone's minds. Oh, and DANCE☆MAN bringing the funk on bass. I would love to see a DANCE☆MAN production from beginning to end. </div>
