[Album] J-Pop: An Introduction (and discussion)

oh wow, the first post is very informative and useful.
Just recently I got into Changin' my Life. But then found out they split which sucks.
I've tried to search for Myco solo stuff but haven't been successfull at it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Does anyone have Ultra Blue? If so, how is it? So far, the songs I've heard from that album have been damn amazing.

Omg, Ultra Blue is so awesome; I love every single song on it. My favorite tracks are "This Is Love" and "Making Love". Very catchy. Worth buying.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Boku wa Kuma is going to be a children's song for a children's tv show. It's going to be the theme.
Speaking of Utada, does anyone know the english translated lyrics for her song "making love" ?
It's not on wiki.theppn and I can't find it in any forums.
It's really catchy and I want to know what she's singing. I can guess what she's singing but I like reading translated lyrics, I do that for all J-songs.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, even though it's a kiddy song I really like the melody; I also like how she repeats "kuma" each time with a different pitch.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ok, so I usually get most of my J-songs from anime. There's this one group, NIRGILIS, and they have a song called "Sakura" Sounds really good, listen for yourself.

Anyway, I've tried looking for translation but can't find any so I was hoping someone here knows a few words. I don't need the entire song, just some words. I can guess some but not all of it.

Togireru nai - ???
Kanashimi no hate wa doko? - Where does sadness end?(?)
(those first two lines might be connected but lyrics page might have divided it to make it easier to read)
Sayonara FALL IN LOVE - Farewell fall in love

Namida subete wasurete - Forget all the tears
Ima kara FALL IN LOVE - I'm falling in love now(?)
Todoki masu ka? - ???

I was speaking idiomatically.

Once you mentioned Will Smith I knew it was for that movie. I'm surprised though that they have his movie in Japan. I know LotR and Star Wars was showing there because they're big big movies but "The Pursuit of Happyness" doesn't seem like the kind of movie to go over seas. I guess it'll air in selected cities but I never thought they would've put an image song in it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I guess it's better to ask here than to start a thread.

Does anyone know how Japanese artists behave? Like in America, a lot of artists are attention whores. There's trash talk, scandals, bad rumors, and everyone has be arrested for DUI or DWI. Is it the same in Japan? Are they more well behaved or do they have the same thing too?
