--- Sorry. Alot of EXILE's PV has been taken down by Avex


Am I the only one that loves them!?

omg. I'm SO glad theres more fans than JUST me in Soompi. Com'n silent readers. Join the fun!

I LOVE EXILE. However, I didn't get to know them until they dueted with Koda Kumi and then got that new adorable-looking member, TAKAHIRO. Their songs are really good, always catchy and stuff. I love their new single too. The beginning of the song with the "no sh!t" is so amusing. *lol*

I sort of consider them the older versions of hip-hop/R&B boy bands. *lol*

Takahiro LOL I've been a fan of him a few weeks after he won the auditions (But I've known EXILE for quite some long time... 2004)

We have an EXILE fanblog called: EX-IT

Please visit the blog!!!

I've loved EXILE since the beginning! Their genre used to be more J-Soul, not R&B. However, as they get more and more mainstream, they've been really really POP, especially after Takahiro replaced Shun. I preferred the original EXILE, but Takahiro is getting better and better by the day, and their POP songs are pretty catchy, though nothing's better than the songs from the good old days. The dance routine back then was more powerful also, IMO.

If you haven't, you should check out the "Fly Away" PV. It was the song that got me hooked on them. ^^ EXILE ganbare~

^ You should have watched the EVOLUTION Live tour... Takahiro really improved there (since I have watched him from his audition days > present time)

(not that I'm biased, but he really improved)

Ahahaha, I don't pay attention to EXILE that much, so EVOLUTION Live tour...?

I saw their EXILE Vocal Battle Audition 2006 ASIAN DREAM video though when they were selecting their candidates. TAKAHIRO was soooo young-looking back then. Like he got a huge makeover too. Ahahaha.

I don't know much about them, but their music is good~~~
I LOVE that song they did with GLAY! <333

LOL he was 21 when he joined the auditions and yeah he got a makeover but not that much... hmm... just the videos/clips during the audition didn't give justice to his look LOL

Yeah, he's been getting better. I don't like it when he sings with his nasal voice though. I remember the first live performance he did. He looked so nervous while Atsushi looked so calm. And he kept closing his eyes, trying to concentrate to sing. It was cute, but if I'm not mistaken, I think he made a mistake then, and a bunch of people online totally criticized him. =(

Ahhh.. I really want to go to Japan and watch their concert LIVE!! ^^

OMG.. where did you guys watch the EVOLUTION live tour?! I want to watch it too! I've been a fan not too long ago actually. hahah. I liked them because of Dongwan O_o
I didn't really like their song with Koda Kumi THAT much. it was alright for me. The song that got me hooked in them was "Song For You" Sadly, its not on youtube anymore! ARG! Hows that possible?!
I'm SO GLAD that theres EXILE fans. :DDD because when I made this thread.. no one even replied. SAD! They're soo talented.
I prefer Shun or Takahiro. BUT he isn't bad either PRETTY good actually!
Anyone heard their new single? Its pretty good! and it was on the orion charts too..
Toki no Kakera / 24karats -type EX --- is the name! hahaha. I have like.. 30 of their songs :T ONLY! I want more! arg.

oh yeah.. Their song .. "Lost Moments" ft. COLOR is ALSO AWESOMENESS. Check it outtt!

>> yeap he really flopped during his first tv live perf... Hmm.. Takahiro said he has stage frights and he used up all his courage to perform in the final night of the vocal battle audition... LOL I still find it funny when he was asked why he joined the auditions. His answer was he wants an autograph from Atsushi for his Unmei no Hito cd



I rarely visit this section in Soompi (because I was only browsing at the Clazziquai and 8eight's thread here) so I didn't notice this one.. But I'm a big fan of Takahiro (ever since the audition days xD) but I discovered EXILE last 2004 during their performance in a-nation '04 and since then I've been listening to them...

I just wish people will stop comparing Shun from Takahiro simply because Takahiro is Takahiro and Shun is Shun xD

at Dongwan's versions of EXILE songs... The originals are far better!!!!

me too I don't like Won't Be Long with Kumi (because I don't like Kumi LOL)

I saw the Evolution Live tour at my TV when it was broadcasted and downloaded the video on Jpopsuki trackers Yeap I've heard their latest single and I love it

Ohhh yeah I love Lost Moments too *_____*

Anyway, me and my friends formed a subbing group for EXILE and we just released our first project

Check it out at: EX-IT at Finalequinox.net

LOL. I remember when they announced the audition, I wanted to join too, but they only accept guys. TT_TT I would want to get Atsushi's autograph too. LOL. He's so hot!

Anyway, me and my friend always talk about how we're gonna go to Japan and work at LDH (Exile's management company). My friend would even settle for a janitor job! HAHAHA..

Oh yeah, DongWan's version of SCREAM was.. uhh.. no comment. When I was watching his live performance, words can't even describe how I felt. It sucks because I love ShinHwa, but I think DongWan should stick to singing ballads. His voice is more fit to do that. I got kinda annoyed though when everyone praised his performance, and then I posted that people should check out the original version. HAHA I'm so biased.

Also, for Won't Be Long.. I love the song, but Koda Kumi's voice is just irritating after a while. Add to that, her over the top dancing.. ON Atsushi!! Did you guys watch that performance, I think it was at the end of the 2006 year, when they performed it live. Her skirt was like 5 inches long, and she kept trying to dance with Atsushi, but he kept avoiding her. HAHA.. it was so funny! She would turn around to dance with him, and he'll do a turn and walk away. ^^

^ That's cool! When I watch EXILE clips online, there's never any subs for it. I'll check out your site later! ^^

^ I saw it! It was I think on Japan Records Awards 2006 / Rhythm Nation 2006 (LOL both are from the year ender music special) ^^;; I laughed at it too because of Kumi's failed attempt to lure Atsushi

Me too I want to work in LDH (So that I'll see Takahiro everyday LOOOOOL)

The only song I've heard by them is "CHOO CHOO TRAIN" and that was back when it was debuted on Hey!x3 in '03. I love that song so freaking much; It's practically a staple on my ipod.

LOL
Same here!!! I've watched EXILE singing Fly Away at PopJam and I got all excited cuz the song was so good
Their songs are the best! I never get tired of them!

Lovers Again ! <3 THAT SONGS WOULD HAVE TO ROCK MY JPOP LISTS ^^
Go download it everyone, its really soft and flowy...

can someone share with me which other ones are like that one?

---rainie*

HRM!
raindrops: THAT SONG IS GOOD HUHHh! haha. I'm not really sure if any song is similar to that.. If I know, I'd get back to you! Maybe you'll like their other songs? its not bad either!
I have Lovers Again -finalist version- its super duper long. ITS 9 MINUTES. whoa. Its good though. Its nice to hear every body that auditioned voices. haha. I love it.

rlyn_xen & garnet_moon : OMg. IT WASN'T THAT BAD. But, I agree. The original is far more better. Ughh.. I'm getting kinda sick of Dongwan singing the same old ballad song. Scream is just a little kick in a boring life When I first saw Scream, I was quite amazed I thought "GLAY x Exile" was the same group. LMAO. SILLY ME.

omgg.. Lost Moments just blew my socks away when I first heard it. ATSUSHI is JUST TOO FREAKING GOOD! omg. I really do love them. They're soo awesome! DANG. I wish I had EXILE on MY tv

HAHAHAH.. KUMI TRIED TO SEDUCE ATSUSHI? LOL!!! Thats hilarious Luckily he didn't get all.. touchy. She should have went to one of the backup dancers ;D lol. Those performers. hahaha. funny funny.
I'm SO glad theres more fans of EXILE. More people should see how talented these guys are.
OMG. SUBBED EXILE STUFF? I'll go check it out RIGHT NOW. -- Is it okay if I advertised your site in my signature? ;D

^ Sure!!!! It's a pleasure for me.. LOL maybe I should do my part in advertising that fanblog... I regularly update it so all the latest about EXILE are in that blog so it might be good to check that out (I hope we can find some more staffs for our fanblog/subbing project)

In case you didn't know, Lovers Again won as Best Group Video in MTV Japan's Music Video Award this year (I forgot the date), then EXILE won as Best Dance Group also in MTV Japan's Student's Voice Award recently.

Yes I have the Lovers Again Finalist version (well I have the whole final night audition dvd) and it's freaking long because they repeat the same stanzas

Still I don't like Dongwan's version..

So pissed off that EXILE didn't choose the final concert as the one being filmed for the DVD It has the Lost Moments performance!!!! (and well it is longer than the Yokohama one)

Oh yes Kumi seduced Atsushi hahahaha!!!! You should watch the Hey3x episode where Akira was pointed out in peeping Kuu

^ LOL. I love that clip. The next time they performed, he totally looked everywhere but her behind. It was so funny!

Man, I really need to listen to this Lost Moments song. Must be really good, huh?

raindrops: You can try Michi. It's definitely awesome! And for some older ballads, I would go with Song For You, Your Eyes Only, Eternal..., M&A, Maybe Tomorrow. Those are some of my favorites.. And Tada Aitakute was really popular too.

Ahh.. now I remember the last concert they did with Shun, and they were singing Song For You. At the part where Atsushi was supposed to sing "Kimi wa hitori ja nai yo.. Bokura ga koko ni iru yo" (You are not alone. I am here.), he completely broke down and started crying like a little kid. Poor baby! I was totally crying too. TT_TT

Anyway, do you guys think if they come up with a girl version of EXILE, would it be as successful as EXILE? I'm asking this because LDH was holding auditions back in July and August, but I haven't heard of anything else, and the audition page hasn't been updated in a while.

EDIT: Never mind. They do have a new girl group out. Hopefully they won't be dropped like Paradise Go Go. =_="

Well EXILE ballads are really good, you should try: Tada Aitakute, Michi, Heart of Gold, Song for you, Unmei no Hito ~orchestra version~, Yell, and mid-tempo ballads like One Love and Toki no Kakera

Yeah I was crying too while watching the Perfect ~Asia Live Tour~ T___T Poor Atsushi (He must already know by then that it is Shun's last concert)

Does anyone here have watched, EXILE's 6 nen me no shinjitsu (EXILE's 6 years of truth)? it is a really sad documentary about EXILE Matsu revealed that he has an incurable disease (he already lost his left eye vision) and he is undergoing chemotheraphy. Also on that documentary, that showed the clips from the audition, Shun's decision to go on solo, and Atsushi having vocal polyps... In that documentary also, Atsushi sang his solo song called Inori (which now will be released as a movie theme song)

Another Atsushi crying in a concert moment was during the final Evolution concert... T___T When EXILE finished singing, Atsushi said something like, " Takahiro good going" and they hugged each other for a while. and then Atsushi cried and said: " Takahiro worked really hard in this 4 month's pressure and I want to praise him for that" and Takahiro started crying in those words. And EXILE continued singing "Michi" but Takahiro couldnt sing, he was crying and Atsushi was crying the whole time too. So sad that this event won't be seen on the latest dvd (translated and taken from a Japanese fanblog who watched the final night concert xP)

for choosing the Yokohama one instead of the Tokyo one

Yeah, I watched that documentary.. but I only understood certain parts of it. So Matsu can't even see from his left eye anymore? For some reason, I thought he was sick from something else.. I knew it was long term though. TT_TT I hope EXILE lasts foreverrrrrrrr!!

^ Yeap he had already lost his left vision.. Here is the article that came from Tokyograph last January 6, 2007



I watched the four parts and well understood it enough to get the whole picture of what the documentary said ^^;;

omg! POOR MATSU! aww! I hope it can go better for him. :T and he's STILL going to perform ? He's such a sweet guy. I bet he loves what he's doing. hahah. <33
omgg. WHERE DO YOU GUYS WATCH ALL OF THESE CLIPS?! omfg. I really want to know. Because I love them omg. I bet I'd cry if I saw that documentary. I almost cried during "Song For You" when Atsushi cried! omg. its soo sad. Shun was like "are you okay?" AWWW! man. They're soo good. omg, the Evolution concert. X.x I wanna watch that too! I wish there were more things about them! Did they perform in A-Nation? they HAD too If so, what songs did they sing? .__.



rlyn_xen! Did you listen to "Lost Moments" yet? its soo good!
garnet_moon: hahahah. Trust me, I'd love to watch that episode of heyx3. That show is usually really funny O_o hahaha. Koda Kumi always look soo .. seductive. LOL.

^ to answer your questions:

1. Someone uploaded the whole EXILE 6 nen me no shinjitsu after it was aired, unfortunately I don't know where are those clips now (try the streaming sites like youtube, etc)
2. Yes Matsu is still performing with EXILE. It was rumored that after the live tour, he will quit EXILE (that's why they get AKIRA as new member) but still Matsu is with EXILE. I guess he still loves to perform with them until his body reached its limit soooo sad.... T______T
3. I watched the EVOLUTION Live tour on my tv (because I have Wowow channel LOL) but the clips were uploaded at Jpopsuki trackers. So you can check that (but well I will still buy the dvd)
4. A-nation 2007? Yes they performed but their performances were not shown in the tv airing because they were only surprise guest... >____<

oh i love exile's music so friken muchhhh. my fav band from japan ^O^
i love michi, lovers again, aitakute ... and basically all of their songs haha.

jennn_y : I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! OMG. I love all of their songs with a passion. It's just too frikking good.

garnet_moon: AWW man! I really want to watch it! >.< Yeah.. Matsu is really sweeet for still performing with EXILE.. Is one of his eye fine right now? and.. so.. One of his eyes are COMPLETELY gone? Like he can't see anything from it?
Also, WOW. you lucky bunny. hahahah. I wished I had that channel
OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! SURPRISED GUESS? WTH! They should have been main guests. GEEZ. I know they're still popular over there.

finally i got to access this thread!!

I found the streaming video links of 6 nen me no shinjitsu for you.. It is uploaded by this user in youtube

Yes the left vision is very blurry now.. The right vision is still okay Yeah so sad that they are only guest artist in a-nation 2007

GARNET_MOON! Hey You couldn't get access to this thread?! WHY? Is it because Soompi is kinda slow these days? Because I always get the "busy" thing now..
Dang .. What happened to all of EXILE'S fans. Is it just like mainly us in here? hahahhaha.. SO SAD!! They need more supporters here
omgg. THANKS SOO MUCH for the Youtube user
HEY.. I think I saw her[im] user before when I was browsing around for some EXILE videos. OMG.. I never knew that person uploaded that. O_O maybe its because.. i can;t frikking read JAPANESE. gr times 1000. lol

I dunno why I can't get to Soompi these past few days >___<

If you need some more explanation for that videos, I can help you (LOL I know some Japanese enough to understand the whole picture of the story ^^;;)

Yeah we need more EXILE fans here... And speaking of EXILE, I think we can release another subbed video in the next couple of days (well it was supposed to be released today but due to my fault as a timer I didn't recognized that my raw version was a different one with our typesetter lol so I have to retime it)

heeeey You know Japanese? O_O cool HHAHAH. If I need problems with the translation, I'll tell you. HAHAH.
Who else runs EXILE blog with you? .____. Just to let you guys know.. You guys are awesome! I wish I can help too, but I don't know how to do "timer" or anything of that sort. And if I could translate, I would!

Thats weird.. Soompi is acting weird these days..

Hmm I know some Japanese (I can understand simple conversations, read some kanji but I can't write kanji lol hmmm with regards to speaking, i need to work on the sentence structure) but I haven't updated myself in learning Japanese (the only means now to "upgrade" myself is to watch unsubbed japanese videos and pick up some new words there)

I have my other friends who help me.. well the same people behind the subbing group runs the blog with me (but I'm the one more visible because I'm the news updater)... XD

well hmmm can you do some layout designs or graphics (I can send you some pictures)?? (Lately, I've been busy maintaining and updating different blogs aside from EX-IT and timing for our future releases)

And if you can download at Jpopsuki trackers, you can get the mecha ike SP where EXILE was featured (It's a comedy variety show)

unfortunately no, I cannot do graphic design! UGH. I'm working on improving though. Talk to me in 2 years. LMFAO MAN. I really want to help you guys :T Sorry, I cannot help. I'm not good with the whole .. adobe PS things. My PS pictures always turn out crappy. Jpopsuki trackers? mecha? HAHAH.. what is that!? I really don't know.
You're lucky. I can only understand a little bit of Korean. Like when I watch Korean sitcoms, I can understand about 15% or more of it. hahha. OR at least I think I do..

ohhh it's okay ^___^;;

anyway, we plan to sub that 2 hour EXILE mecha ike episode but it will be released on November - December since our translator is busy right now with his current projects (we have found a great translator who is already experienced in subbing dramas and movies.. but well it's a one time project only) and timing a 2 hour show is not an easy task. I was watching it a couple of hours ago and that was soooo hilarious!!!! (though it will be more hilarious for people who truly understand the show because I didn't get most of the jokes lol) hahaa I love how Takahiro laughed his ass off!

OMG! I can't believe I'm replying 4 days later. Dude. I don't get WHY I even made this thread of no one even talks in it! We should just PM each other to stop this madness -_______-. ARG PEOPLE!
OMG CAN'T WAIT! So the translator is going to do one project with you guys and thats all?

Oh yes. EXILE made in the top 10 for "Channel-a - Popular Arrival Sound Ranking" #10! YEAA
http://youtube.com/watch?v=C9oHKmImHHY

It's okay lol there are only few EXILE english fans out here in the internet ^^;;

Yes our translator for Mecha Ike SP is a one time project with us (since he is just interested in the program and not in EXILE ^^;;)

Anyway, for EXILE updates just visit our blog...

@garnet_moon: great fanblock I often visit it!

EXILE is a great band..awesome dancers, fantastique singers and I just love their songs.

I KNOW! They ARE awesome

garnet_moon: yeaaa. I try to visit it often
BTW! Do you have the lyrics to "Lost Moments" ?

oh yes. I forgot! I watched "Won't be Long" ft Koda Kumi. LMFAO! he DID look at her. I saw him staring at her ass O_O LMFAO. I was like .. WHOAAAA! hahaha. and I also saw the audition thing that Takahiro won. OMG. he was SOOOO cute in there. like WHOA cute. Do you know whos Color? I think I saw one of the guy in color in that competition O_o omg. I wish I could see the WHOLE thing. Because I want to see the performance that the finalist did for Lovers Again. hahah.

The lead singer has a sexy voice.
Absolutely love their song "Won't be long" with Koda Kumi.

I do have the Lost Moments lyrics (but well I'll give you that on my next post)

COLOR was Atsushi's former side group project but now he is the producer of that group. Actually the new COLOR members were all the guys from the Vocal Battle Audition. Taka (he's the only one remained from the original COLOR) and Yuichiro were 2 of the finalists, Yuichiro's brother and the other member were the semi-finalists xP

A new album will come out in December 12... Well for more details visit again EX-IT (the link is on my siggy XD)

I was kinda sad to see York and Kikuri leave COLOR. I think it would've been better if they had stayed, and they just add more members to the group. =(

Anyway, I still haven't listened to Lost Moments. But I'm downloading Exile Evolution right now. It's so big.. and my internet kept disconnecting.. =(

Edit: October 25:

I posted a review about EVOLUTION Live Tour at my blog

I also added some downloads of the performances

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dvd arrived earlier and I just finished watching it *____* The concert was really so visually appealing! You can say that it was a high budget production. Props to EXILE, COLOR, JONTE, NeverLand and EXPG dancers!!!

The end part has a sad mood For me, it was worth the wait and my money. One of the best Japanese concerts for 2007. I can't wait to see the dvds with the new album since that one has more setlist than the Yokohama arena... and waaiii a Lost Moments perf *__*

garnet_moon! Sorry! I haven't been on to chat with you in this little thread..
Thanks for Lost Moment lyrics Thanks for the videos on the concert! was it really that great?!! GOSHH! I want it
REALLY?!?!!? A LOST MOMENT PERFORMANCE?!? NO WAY! I WANT TO SEE ! omggg.

AND NEW ALBUM?!! YES!! I cannot wait ! Seriously
oh yea! OMG. Takahiro is soooooo sooo soo CUTE in the audition ! I knew he was cute, but WHOA. he was like SUPER cute in there. I was like "WHHHOOOA! TAKAHIRO?!" I see why you liked EXILE because of him

it's okay and you are welcome LOL I like EXILE when Takahiro was not yet a member but I love EXILE now because Takahiro is there now (I've been listening to them since 2004 but just a big fan now that Takahiro is in the group)

LOL yeah they got hot bodies!!

Exile is pretty cool. I thought differently about their music. I'm in the process of D/L their songs.

Waaaiii the new song is soooo good *_________*

How'd did you know about Takahiro? He was famous before?
What new song?!? I WANT TO HEAR! hahaha
I wonder how the singers and the dancers.. BOTH have such HOT bodies
Hey, what happened to your blog? I use to see the place to DL Exile's performances.. now I don't see it anymore!

Yes elizabeth. they are pretty cool

LOL just a little story how I discovered Takahiro: (well this might be a long post)

I was searching for some videos in streaming sites when I saw the clips from the audition (The first stage) then the staff/reporter interviewed this young man (yeah Takahiro, I didn't know his name yet back then) and he asked why Takahiro joined the audition and he said that he wants to express his feelings. So I was like hmm.. this young man will have a long way to go. Until on the final stage, I was rooting for him or Nesmith to win. I was really pissed off that I didn't see the final night live (to think I've watched all the other clips before that)... But well I'm really glad that he won... That's when it all started...

Then finally when I got my Evolution album, the dvd contains the whole final night live. And LOL on the interview part Usa (or Makidai) asked Takahiro why he joined the audition and he said: "I want Atsushi's autograph for my Unmei no Hito cd" LOOOOOL and well now he got more than he wanted. XD

I just recently discovered that Takahiro auditioned for Prince of Tennis Musicals. He was accepted as Kaoru Kaidoh but he dropped out of the musicals because the schedule was clashing with the Vocal Battle Audition (he chose EXILE over Prince of Tennis musicals lol)

About their bodies?? Hmm.. Hiro wants EXILE members to be fit and healthy. So well they all quit smoking and going out to gym. Takahiro is a karate black belter so that's where he got disipline for his body. I really admire them for that for being so body conscious and well even if the other members are all in their mid 30s their bodies look like they are in their 20s

the performances and the new song is in this post of my blog

Thanks to your blog, I'm in EXILE heaven. HAHAHHA.
I NEVER knew that their leader wants them to be fit. LOL.. What a good leader! Imagine how they would look like.. without exercising.. or quitting smoking O_o
AWW! Takahiro is sooooo f-en cute! wth! HAHAHA. he just joined for autograph. LOL. yea, I saw a clip of him during the audition and dang, he looked pretty cute! No wonder you're his fan before and he does musicals?!!? WTHECk! are you serious? hahahahha. funny! thats pretty random.
OMg. Whats up with their clothes in the tour? Some outfits looks gooood others are just..

Yes without their body maintenance, they wouldn't be dancing still good at their age. Atsushi can't smoke anymore because he had a history for vocal polyps. Takahiro quit smoking during the audition.

Takahiro is an EXILE fan, lol before he joined the audition, he watched them live at Yokohama Arena (the perfect best live tour)

I was pretty surprised at the fact that he joined the audition for Prince of Tennis musicals. But well after he won the audition, there had not been some information about him joining the musicals (I don't think Hiro would want to dig up much other information about Takahiro's other works before his EXILE days).

lol there is this funny special (the Mecha Ike one) where they posted the different description for EXILE members

Hiro - EXILE's leader
Makidai - EXILE's Ikemen (Handsome man, a performer who can act)
Akira - EXILE's Center
USA - EXILE's Fantastic Dancer
Matsu - LOL I can't read his description
Atsushi - Mr.EXILE
Takahiro - EXILE Love (a description of how much he loves EXILE. With Okinawa Karate techniques, he went of to the country's top competition >>> he won this tournament)

>> Don't worry you will all see that special probably in late November - early December. I'm almost halfway done for the timings and translations will come next on November. It's pretty good EXILE treat hmmm that special made EVOLUTION went back to Oricon charts
