Draft King Band General Discussion

Did you watch the same show as maharizm? You could of both met up!

 

Ah I wanna shirt! Does anyone have the full set of gacha gacha pins? I want the one's with the band members on them

 

Ooh, so you got the CD well before any of us did. Wow.

 

Nice!

@pony4me Hey, are you going to the 12/17 ZERO mission by any chance?

 

Nice! Do you have a twitter or something? Me and @TonyTonyChoppa are going too, we should meet

 

For the kaigai [overseas] fans who aren't going I was thinking we should do something for DK on the day of their oneman. I was thinking of a twitter hashtag [referencing the article that talked about their show with only 7 spectators] that basically says "7 to [capacity of Budokan]" (im not sure exactly what it is). Wish them good luck at their one man and say "we'll continue to support you" err something like that. But I want a good amount of people to give pledges if we're gonna do this, cuz if turns out with only a few the hashtag will become ironic lol (to make this quick, if your on board and want to pledge just like this post and it constitutes a binding magical contract [Harry Potter reference])
Or we could just do something like what I suggested for SHISHAMO (http://forum.verygooddays.com/threads/shishamo-general-discussion.3603/page-2#post-12628)

 

Since you have the JP skills, maybe use 2 hastags? One ENG and the other JP. I think it would be easy to get a good number of people, just wondering how many people actually have twitters.

 

Where were you? We could of met up!

 

We were at the front too! Which side were you on? I was right in front Nohana and Erica

 

Alright 2 recent big pieces of news to discuss!
First is the announcement of Draft King's release of Kaientai's "Okuru Kotoba" which Im sure many of you have already looked up. I would like to hear more about why that song was chosen but Im sure it will come up during promotion for its release. Not the most exciting song I've ever heard but I'm excited to see what Draft King will do with it. For some of us Draft King fans the release of this cover may not be the news we wanted to hear but it is welcome for various reasons.
Being their first post-contract release we'll be in for some interesting promotion I think including interviews (magazines maybe), maybe another TV appearance, and the big maybe, a MV release.
Also one must consider another important point: What songs will be coupled with this release (if any)?
I'm guessing at least 2 others, most likely from Draft King's original repertoire. To showcase their variety, Im guessing something along the lines of "This is me" and "Mangetsu" but that's partially because I want those songs. Okuru Kotoba might take up the "ballad" slot so "Mangetsu" may be redundant. Most likely it will be the songs they perform the most at lives (besides those already released), but I haven't been to any lives so I cant comment on that.
Also will it be given a release anywhere overseas fans can get their hands on it? Just say u.r? was not however they didn't have Sun Music behind them so we'll see...
Next is the live at Zepp they just announced, while its not a one man or anything, its quite a big step for DK
Let's leave QUATTRO's capacity at 400, Zepp Tokyo has a capacity of about 2,700.
Once again it's not a one man but this will be a great way for them to make some waves and get more fans. If it goes well enough they could move up faster which would always be good news for us overseas fans.

 

The new single is available overseas through CDJapan and iTunes!
