Gackt`s Worldwide Call For Help

Gackt`s Worldwide Call For Help

Legendary rock singer Gackt has put to the side all thoughts of making albums, for the call to help with the earthquake recovery drives that are underway.

And with that he has taken on himself a number of missions and is seeking worldwide support to achieve his dreams.


He is currently starting a four-day worldwide street collection drive .
The drive runs from March 31 to April 3 . In Japan there will be 5,000 people collecting in 123 locations.

He has posted information on his web site in several languages so that international fans can help with organizing simultaneous street campaigns in major cities around the world.


Project number 2 is a  worldwide video + photo project

Gackt explained this project idea through his twitter account .

Gackt-  “I have a new idea here. Would you try something else with me?”. “I want messages from people all over the world. Please take a video of yourself and your message for ‘SHOW YOUR HEART!!!’ We want you to put the videos up on You Tube starting from the 31st. It will give courage to all people in the disaster areas.”

Gackt went on to explain that supporters are to upload a video of them holding a piece of paper with “SHOW YOUR HEART” written on it, along with your own message and your current location.

Those who are unable to upload the videos to YouTube themselves can send it to GACKT directly, and he and his staff  will  post the videos for earthquake victims to view.

You can also send a photo and message to his charity web mail. Include the name of your city and country

T.M. Revolution’s Nine Hour Charity Live Event.

T.M. Revolution’s Nine Hour Charity Live Event.

T.M. Revolution will be holding a nine-hour charity live on April 2, starting at 15:00/ 3:00PM. The program called “Hisaichi ni YELL wo Okurou! Ima Koso Tachiagare NIPPON! STAND UP! JAPAN“, will be streamed live on GyaO! and by Nico Nico in a Live Broadcast.

T.M. Revolution will be supported by co-hosts/event support such as SHOGO (175R), Tsuchiya Reo (RAG FAIR, Zboned Zubon), Micro (HOME MADE Kazoku), Ono Mayumi, Tahara Souichirou, Shibata Hidetsugu (Untouchable), Tokito Ami, and Mutou Keiji (All Japan Pro Wrestling) and many more as yet unnamed .

T.M. Revolution originally planed for this to be a live attendance event , however with the continuing energy problems from the earthquake ,it was decided that a nine hour live event may put unneeded strain on the power grid and that power would best served to go to homes .

Instead the event will be live streaming and a donation project “STAND UP! JAPAN Chuou Kyoudoubokinkai“, started by T.M. Revolution will be used instead of live event ticket revenues.

If you are able to view these services and want to watch the broadcast and support the charity.

Questions For 48 Fans

These are questions for any reader who follows the 48 family of groups.

1. Do you have any interest in seeing SKE48`s mini drama Mousou Deka
It would not be subbed and I would back track to episode 1


2. Do you have any interest in seeing NMB48 - Doyou wa Dame yo!

3. AKB48 Members on the Game show DERO!


Notes on uploads

AKBINGO! , SHUKAN and ARIYOSHI [2 episodes]
need to be uploaded still.

SHUKAN did not air part two of the last episode  due to the earthquake and show content  was not right under the situation , so they returned to Miichan`s MC challenge . AKBINGO is a recap episode.

Given the current situations that you have been made aware of I ask for patience on getting the shows on site, you will not miss any episode that airs, of what we have been uploading in the past.

AKB48’s “Kamikyokutachi” Crosses 500,000 In Sales

AKB48’s   “Kamikyokutachi” Crosses 500,000 In Sales

AKB48 Album “Kamikyokutachi” released in 2010 has achieved another milestone for the group as it has crossed the 500,000 mark in sales. With the success of “Kamikyokutachi”, it  marks the first time that the group has had an album reach a half-million in sales.

“Kamikyokutachi”  also marks the first time a Japanese girl group has reached this mark for albums  since Morning Musume’s album, “4th Ikimasshoi!” achieved the same  result nine years ago with sales of 515,000. Currently AKB48 is only 14,000 behind this mark.

“Kamikyokutachi” also set an international milestone, as it became the first album by a female Pop group to surpass half a million since Destiny’s Child’s “Number Ones”.

AKB48 21st Single Release & 22nd Single Senbatsu Coming Soon

AKB is wasting no time and has further continued to extend their already huge omnipresence.
AKB48 21st single has been set to release on May 25th 2011, title is not confirmed yet. Additionally, their 22nd single will have a Senbatsu election coming soon. For the benefit of those who do not know, it is an voting process in which AKB fans may elect which of the girls under the AKB group to participate in the new single. A great way for fans to be involved in the single production process.

In accordance to their participation of the northeast earthquake support, a portion of the proceeds from the singles sales will go to charity.

And lastly, after previous postponings, AKB48's latest album "Koko ni ita koto" have been further pushed to release on 8th June. Similarly, a portion of the album sales will also go to charity.

Special SKE48 "Ai no Kazu" Video Clip For Moral Support

A new movie video clip has been made public on Youtube by SKE48. It was a video clip for the song "Ai no Kazu" performed by the group's Team K II, which is a B-side track to the single released earlier this month "Banzai Venus". Originally, "Ai no Kazu" has no PV created for it. But a video clip was made now, in hopes of the song becoming a moral support (no matter how small it maybe) to those facing difficult times due to the earthquake in northeast Japan, recently.

It was not a high cost production of any sort, just a simple video of SKE48 girls singing on their theatre stage with song lyrics running at the bottom. All for creating a new media made available for circulation.

SKE48 will reopen their theatres on the 31st of March, where on that same day Team S will perform and all proceeds from that performance will go straight to charity.

And the kindness of hearts continue to give.

Morning Musume Melodix Subbed

Morning Musume On Melodix Subbed

When ever possible I like to add programs in subbed format for anyone who struggles to follow along with the raw versions. One of my goals is someday to have a PIH sub team in place.

If your not able to follow along with the raw version, then you don`t want to miss the subbed version.

Morning Musume "Maji Desu ka SUKA!" Official PV

As I mentioned not long ago if the fan made video would be close to the official video for Morning Musume`s 45th single? The answer is yes but the fan made PV is missing 20 seconds.


“Maji Desu ka SUKA! “Is a fun PV that is different from recent Morning Musume videos that features many clips by the 9th gen.
