Heaven's Place

Greetings, Janners!
I hope the summer is allowing you all to see some relaxing times.

The news today, as the subject of this post suggests, is that you is releasing a complete set of his "LIFE" albums!
The LIFE COMPLETE BOX will go on sale on September 30 and contain all three of you's previous solo albums as well as two DVDs.
The DVDs will contain the footage from his concert "LIFE ~La Conclusion~" at NHK Hall (20 songs, approximately 130 minutes), all of the PVs from his solo work, and offshots from his previous nationwide tour.
It will also be packaged with a 42 page photobooklet, an entry form to try and win a signed FERNANDES guitar, and one other as-yet unannounced reservation gift.
The box retails for 9800 yen.
However, the box will only be produced in numbers to meet preorders, so if you would like to purchase it, it is recommended that you preorder it as soon as possible.

So...there you have it!
Until next time, We Are Janne!

I'm selling off some magazines featuring Janne Da Arc on cover(does not include shipping). More magazines up for sales here. Please check it out if you're interested:3 Sorry for xposting

Greetings, Janners!
I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, but I have a ton of news for you today!

The major tidbit is that the first details about Acid Black Cherry's upcoming album have finally been released! It's slated to go on sale August 26 in three editions--two DVD versions, and a CD only edition.

The CD will have a total of 12 songs, including 20＋∞Century Boys, Nemurihime, Jigsaw, and Yasashii Uso, with the CD only edition (3,000 yen) containing a 42 page photobooklet. Just like Black List before it, all three editions will also have different jacket photos.

The first DVD edition (3,600 yen) will have a DVD with the music videos for the four featured songs, as well as alternate videos (the Yasashii Uso video in particular has a Bit stupid tie-in that should prove interesting).

It will also contain new offshots, that will include an interview with yasu.

The second DVD edition will contain the live footage from Acid Black Cherry's single live on March 4 of this year in Ebisu LIQUID ROOM, containing the following songs:

Jigsaw
Shoujo no Inori
Fuyu no Maboroshi
Nemurihime
DRAGON CARNIVAL
Black Cherry
SPELL MAGIC
20＋∞Century Boys
Bit stupid

Additionally, this DVD will include the album making offshots, narrated by Hiroaki Asai, former DJ of such popular radio programs as NACK 5's BEAT SHUFFLE (he currently works as a lecturer at the Osaka School of Music).


As for the other members of the band, kiyo just celebrated his birthday on Saturday, and we are to look forward to the release of his second blog-based book sometime in October.
you has plans, as well, to release a complete box of his LIFE solo work coming up soon!
ka-yu still seems to be laying low, enjoying life and the approaching summer.
shuji...well, as a lot of you may know from shuji_blog, he's been increasing his family with the addition of his new dog Tamu and rabbit Chachamaru, and he is quite the doting puppy parent!

That's all for right now...so until next time, We Are Janne!

Surprise :D

Greetings, Janners!
It's starting to get hot and humid here in Japan, so I hope the weather is a little better wherever you are at the moment!

Anyway, there's some new information about Acid Black Cherry's new single, coming out July 29.
The title track has been announced as a brand-new song, 「優しい嘘」 (Yasashii Uso). As I mentioned before, the B-side will be a cover of The Checkers's famous song "Julia ni Heartbreak". As always, the DVD edition of the single will contain the PV for the title track and off shots.

Also, just like Nemurihime, ABC will be doing a special one-night live show on August 17. Tickets will once again be determined by lottery, with winners being informed of the location of the show and other relevant information. More details on that will be included in a leaflet contained in the single packaging.

For those of you not on this side of the world, yasu's next Internet program through Nico Nico is scheduled to take place on June 25, a little later--at 10:30 pm Japan time. So, if you are able to, please do tune in!

That's all for now! Until next time, We Are Janne!

Greetings, Janners!
I know it's been a long time, and I hope things are treating all of you marvelously.

More importantly, however, news has finally been officially released about Acid Black Cherry's new single, coming out on July 29.

First of all, the main track has yet to be decided, but the couple track will be the famous song by the Checkers, "Julia ni Shoushin" (also known as "Julia ni Heartbreak"). yasu was a fan of the Checkers when he was young, even sporting what he called 'Checkers hair' in junior high, so it should be a very interesting cover indeed! I know I'm looking forward to it.

As far as releases go, it looks as if they will be doing the same thing they did with the Nemurihime single--having a CD only release, a CD+DVD release, and then two other versions only available through the official and mobile fanclubs. All the releases will have different jackets, and the fanclub versions will have the added extra of an original Acid Black Cherry wristband (preliminary designs can currently be seen on the official site). The CD only version will also contain a single photobook of 12 pages, as well as a randomized picture printed on the CD itself selected out of three possible designs.

The CD+DVD edition as well as both fanclub editions retail for ¥1,680, with the CD only version clocking in at ¥1,050.

The preorder links from CD Japan were already posted in the community, so please look for those in the post below this one and support yasu financially if you can!

Those of you who are able to, and wish to, order the fanclub only editions, you should be getting a mail from the fanclub in a few days with instructions on how to order.

Those in Japan with a Japanese mobile phone and a subscription to the official Janne mobile site can also follow the QR code on the official site to order the mobile fanclub edition directly.

Also, don't forget that yasu is having his monthly radio show on Nico Nico this Thursday at 8 pm Japan time; so if you are able to, please log in and check it out!

That's all for right now, so until next time, We Are Janne!

Hi, Janners!
I don't remember any request like this before, so please forgive me if it's forbidden to ask such a question... But i wanted to ask if there is someone who could make a gif-icon for me? I would kill to have an icon with jumping yasu from Dearly 2005 live (DVD2, 0:30:36), so i thought i'd ask here. If you aren't able to do it yourself but know someone who does this kind of icons, i would appreciate a link to the journal/community or any other form of help.

Thank you in advance^^
We are Janne!

Greetings, Janners!

During yasu's show this evening, he had some big news! He plans to release a new single in July (details coming soon on that), and he will also be going on another nationwide tour with ABC beginning in September. Planned tour dates and venues are as follows:

( 2009 Tour Dates )

All venues are assigned seating, with tickets going for 6500 yen.
Information on general sale tickets is forthcoming, but the fanclub is expected to send a direct mailing to members tomorrow regarding how to purchase advanced tickets.

If anything else comes up, I'll be sure to let everyone know!
We are Janne!

Greetings, Janners!
This is just a quick little update again, but it looks like there is a new special site just for the release of the 10th Anniversary Box. Right now, they only have a discography and live history up, but it looks like there will be more content added later. To check it out, click here!

With the update, we now know what the history DVDs in the box are going to include: in addition to the aforementioned PV collection and history, they will also contain three of Janne Da Arc's appearances on the special TV program put out by avex, channel a. I personally happen to really enjoy their appearances there, so I am looking forward to seeing all of them together!

Also, just as a little reminder, those of you who may be interested, don't forget about yasu's upcoming online program this Thursday over at Nico Nico.

That appears to be all for the time being, so until next time, We Are Janne!

Cool, ne ? ^^

After a long time of stalking, Janners, gather round and learn the ( The truth about Janne Da Arc )
Fellow Janners, do you have any more interesting facts to add to the list today?

Greetings, Janners!
I hope the season is finding you well--here in Japan, the cherry blossoms have just started blooming, and the weather is finally beginning to shift from cold to reasonable--with that in mind, in a few short hours, ka-yu's Summer Collection will be going live on his website!

I would gather that, like all of his previous collections in the past, they will only be able to be shipped to addresses within Japan--but they should be pretty to look at, and hey--we haven't heard a peep from ka-yu in a while, so if nothing else, that should leave the ka-yu fans on this community with a sense of relief!

Additionally, the single I mentioned from SINCREA that was produced by kiyo was released today--you can listen to a sample of the title track by clicking that link up there. He has also appeared in a short interview with SINCREA in the current issue of FOOL'S MATE, if you're interested in checking out the things associated with that small project.

That's about all the news for right now, so, until next time, We are Janne!

Greetings, Janners!

This is just a quick one, but the design for the "seal of zone" shirts that come with the upcoming COMPLETE BOX release has been posted on the official site here.

Of additional interest to a lot of people, I would guess (I was certainly happy to hear this) is that the editions of ANOTHER STORY and ARCADIA contained in the boxset have had the copy protection taken off that used to make them such a pain in the ass to play from a PC and nearly impossible to rip.

So, if you've been waffling over purchasing the set, or just want to see a little of what you have to look forward to, check it out!

Also, as I do not believe this has been posted here yet, the date for yasu's next monthly webcast on Nico Nico has been set for Thursday, April 23 at the usual 8 pm Japan time...so if you can, please do take a look at that as well!

And until next time,
We Are Janne!

Greetings, Janners!

As I mentioned previously, yasu is starting a monthly webcast program through Niko Niko--and the first broadcast is tomorrow (3/12) at 8 pm Japan Time!

You do need a login to access Niko Niko, but you can certainly view with a free account...so if you have time and want to see yasu broadcasting live, please do get an account and tune in!

It's a bit different from Ameba Studio broadcasts in that there are sometimes portions where the audience participates real-time as well...so it really is a fun time if you want to try it out.

Till next time,
We Are Janne!
