I do not support pirating of music, but I do understand complications of ordering certain CD's and the price of shipping and other technicalities. Message me if you would like certain songs.

I love Home Made Kazoku! I got their new album CIRCLE and totally fell in love with YOU ~Anata ga Soba ni Iru Shiawase~ and Mucha Buri King! The whole album really has a fun hip-pop vibe and it was totally well done.

My favorite song of all time from them would be Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star~ though. I heard it on Naruto Shipuuden and just fell in love immediately. I put it on every time I feel down, and life just gets much better immediately Giggle

ah, yes... HOME MADE 家族. haven't heard all that much of their music, but some songs.

the only one i can remember the title of is (not very surprisingly) Thank You!!, 'cause of Naruto.
actually, almost 5 years ago me and my cousin who's currently living in Japan sang Thank You!! on his brother's wedding party after he had suggested it as a joke thinking we wouldn't be able to rap in japanese. Laughing true, both of us knew pretty much no japanese at the time, but practice makes perfect, and it ended up a success. Smile also, there was the problem of not being able to find any instrumental version whatsoever of it on the internet, so we had to make one ourselves (or rather, my musical genius cousin made one...).

i just went youtubing it to see if i remembered the lyrics, and i did remember quite a bit, but not much of the parts i didn't sing...

Oh, that's so cute! I love Thank You!! I can't believe you guys could rap in Japanese, that's so amazing. I wish I could see it, perhaps you've could go back in time and videotape it? Laughing

They haven't done anything since April for their "Side Works Collection", but it would certainly be nice to hear some news about them soon Smile
