Haven't find much discusson on her, so here it begins!
Amano Tsukiko is going to celebrate her 5th anniversary as a singer by releasing 5 singles in one day, May 31st! As funny as it may look, and being posted by Tsukko herself on April's Fool day, the news are true! You can pre-order your own stack of Tsukko at CDJapan and Tower.JP, so it's true true true. Yay. Hopefully the songs aren't coughmediocrecough like Koda Kumi's 12 >_>
Note: 2nd cover for Utakata is actually her first indie single 箱庭 (Hakoniwa=Miniature Garden), released 2001.06.01, I put it there to compare :) And yeah, I know Fuusen resembles Otsuka Ai's Neko ni Fuusen XD

If you have no idea about who Tsukko is, try out her PS2 series "Fatal Frame" theme songs Chou & Koe (it shouldn't be too hard to find, but I guess I'll upload them later anyway :)).
Some more scans (both Kera ones are 3mb):

Wah! Thanks a lot for this news! I've loved Amano Tsukiko's music ever since I heard Chou. May 31st, I can't wait!

I've been a fan since I've seen "Ningyou" maxi single cover at CDJapan's new releases page, so yeah, I've been a fan since late 2002! I win :halo:
But seriously, this is just plain stupid, how many copies of each of these singles does Tsukko and her label plan to sell? Less than 100 of each? She isn't Koda Kumi even with all the Project Zero fans :cry:
-
How did she pan out?? The covers look stunning, I have seen her before too.
These threads are awesome aedon. packed with info!!!
-
I hope that its 5 good singles in a day. At least the record company (I think its Pony Canyon) outdid avex's kumi koda 12 singles in 12 weeks releases.
-
Samples are out! Not officially as they're not listed on PonyCanyon's pages yet, but I digged the links XD
Karasu (http://asxfiles.ponycanyon.co.jp/promo_sound/PCCA_70161_001.asx)
Fukurou (http://asxfiles.ponycanyon.co.jp/promo_sound/PCCA_70162_001.asx)
Utakata (http://asxfiles.ponycanyon.co.jp/promo_sound/PCCA_70163_001.asx)
Fuusen (http://asxfiles.ponycanyon.co.jp/promo_sound/PCCA_70164_001.asx)
Konton (http://asxfiles.ponycanyon.co.jp/promo_sound/PCCA_70165_001.asx)
I really like "Fukurou" & "Fuusen" <3 That's weird because I usually prefer rockish songs from Tsukko *^_^*
-
Looks like the PVs for the 5 singles are connected and form a mini-drama/saga... so I can't wait till they release them on DVD :drool:
The first *episode* is combined "Karasu/Utakata", and you'll see 3(!) different Tsukikos in the PV.

You can get it @ Jpopsuki (http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/index.php?page=details&id=20622). Also, I failed at life and missed Tour of The Dragon live video seeded there, so if anyone dled it, I'd really appreciate if you'd re-seed/re-upload it anywhere :bow:
-
5 singles (10 songs total, 320kbps) @ Jpopsuki:
http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/index.php?page=details&id=21063
I like maybe 3 songs A LOT, the others are just ok to me :/
-
5 singles in 1 day? That´s great man. Even though i´m a fan of her, i can´t keep up to all the news:-P
Thanks alot for the info!
-
Thank you for the bigger scans~ Can't wait~ ^^
-
My wish was granted and Amano's releasing a new DVD in July! ZOMG I'm so excited. This was confirmed by Oricon & e+ so far.
ゴネンジャー (Gonenjya, gonen=5 years) ~tentative
2006/07/26 | PCBP-51763 | 3,465 yen
Running Time: 35min
Looks like it's gonna be 2nd PV collection DVD. I'm afraid they might exclude "Tsuki" PV :(
-
As expected, 5th anniversary singles didn't make a breakthrough miracle on Oricon Weekly:
2006/06/12
#46 Utakata 2,616
#47 Karasu 2,606
#48 Konton -chaos- 2,580
#49 Fukurou 2,563
#50 Fuusen 2,556
Total: 12,921
Multiply it by 1,050 yen and it makes 13,567,050 yen @_@
They debuted at much higher positions on the first day, of course:
2006/05/30
#23 Utakata
#24 Fuusen
#25 Konton -chaos-
#26 Karasu
#27 Fukurou
However, Amano never was the chart queen, look at her previous achievements:
# peak position (number of weeks in the chart)
Albums:
A MOON CHILD IN THE SKY #46 (5)
Winona Riders ~Tsuki no Uragawa~ #109 (1)
Tenryuu #31 (5)
Meg Lion #48 (3)
Sharon Stones #33 (3)
Singles:
Koe #39 (6)
Hisui #73 (1)
Idea #70 (2)
Tsuki [1st press] #64 (2)
Chou #49 (7)
Love Dealer [indie] #169 (1)
Same #70 (2)
Ningyou #50 (3)
HONEY? n/a
Treasure #99 (1)
Sniper n/a
Bodaiju #66 (1)
B.G. -Black Guitar + Berry Garden- n/a
Hakoniwa n/a
Please don't just copy-paste this, mention me :O
I had to open a lot of tabs to get this info for your statistics pleasure!
Edit: Added the actual sold copies number.

Tsukiko!!! :heart:
My absolute favourite J-rock singer after Shiina Ringo^^ LOL I am so freaking tempted to pre-order Catalogue, but I've got so much stuff already waiting to get shipped to me, I think I might wait until it's a little closer to the release date before I purchase XD LOL
Does anyone know if the five singles she released back in May are going to be on this album, too? I had always meant to pick those up but didn't because I assumed she would release them all on an album at some point... Any info on that would be great! :heart: Thanks!
-
There's no tracklist for the album and dvd yet. I'm checking all of Tsukko's official sites almost everyday, but nothing is revealed except the titles: the limited edition is called Deluxe Catalogue and the regular is just Catalogue (both titles are spelled in katakana). As for 5th anniversary pvs dvd 5-five-, its title is still listed as tentative.
However, CDJapan/Neowing reports Deluxe Catalogue dvd will include pvs for Idea, Hisui, Koe and Love Dealer (since when Love Dealer has a pv? and what about Tsuki? .V.) & 5th anniversary pvs' making of's; and that the cd will include a new remix of Love Dealer. No confirmation on that info though.
I believe there'll also be some campaign for people who buy both the best album and the dvd, but most likely it'll be for Japan residents only so I probably won't get anything XD

Covers of Catalogue Standard and Deluxe Limited Editions are up!^^
Still no track listing, though.... *continues to wonder if 5 anniversary singles will be on it! XD*

These covers are a bit of turn off, since I like the normal edition cover a lot more, wtf are those pink blocks at limited?! But it's Tsukko, I can't help it XD
No tracklists yet, but I'm pretty sure the 5 singles will end up on Catalogue, just not sure on both editions or it'll be the special edition only :o Actually, I have no idea what they'll put on the 2nd cd of Deluxe, b-sides? her favorite album tracks? mystery, mystery~
-
^ Thanks for posting better cover pics, aedon!^^ I agree, they're not much to look at after the anniversary covers... Tsukiko was rocking out like a cover girl on those!^^ LOL Still can't wait for Catalogue to be released, though! I think I might just get the Deluxe version, though, since the cover to the Standard version is a little less... attractive XD Not that that's saying much... LOL
-
^ Hm? I actually prefer the standard edition cover XD
Overall, I think the covers are growing on me with all the Alice in Wonderland Queen vibe ^_^;
The thing for those who'll buy both Deluxe Catalog and 5-five- ended up being a ticket to an event AND it's only given out at some store (Yamagiwa Soft, or smth), only to 555 people and only on November 14th :/ What's the point of all that for us overseas fans T_T
Oh well. Still no tracklist.
-
^ My point exactly, aedon! XD LOL I'd much rather get a Tsukiko mini-PB or something^^

That makes me really mad!! :evil: I can't believe she isn't going to have the anniversary singles on here... Makes me think of the people at avex who just want to take all your money *grr*
Damn... I guess I'd better go and get those singles after all, since it doesn't look like she's going to have them on an album and I don't want to wait til they go out of print! XD
-
Just buy the 5-five- DVD o____O; It won't have the b-sides but still... there'll probably be a 2nd b-side collection O_o
-
Tsukko's Otokura official site is renewed! http://www.otokura.com/amano/
She now has a blog! http://blog.livedoor.jp/am_bakuon/ (3 entries there atm)
(http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/3496/amanotsukikovd6.jpg)
The tracklist I've posted earlier is confirmed :(
-
Too bad about no anniversary songs on the tracklist! :ksad: But it's nice to see they finally updated her website! *GORGEOUS* pic, too, aedon :heart: Tsukiko always reminds me of such a classic Japanese beauty, like pre-Meiji era :ONluvluv2: LOL
-
Deluxe Catalogue debuted at #13 on Oricon Daily on 11/14, and then slipped to #14 on 11/15.
Tsukko's in Top 20 finally! :w00t:
-
^ Wow, that's awesome to hear! :heart: Go Tsukiko! I'd say that's pretty damn great for an artist with such limited public exposure as her (or at least it seems that way, to me! XD)
-
Well I've posted her previous releases' rankings here (http://forum.jphip.com/showpost.php?p=107087&postcount=12) (no actual sales numbers, sorry, Oricon site is evil), and it seems that her biggest achievements (SS, Tenryuu & Koe) were all only in Top 40 :o So I hope Tsukko won't end up out of Top 20 on the weekly chart *crosses fingers*
Edit: because I can't count.
-
Tsukko sold 5,434 copies and ended up at #24 :/ Still her best result to date.
Edit: sales/# confirmed + pic

5-five sold 1,766 copies landing at #10 of Oricon Music DVD chart! :pen_whirl:
That makes it 7,200 cd/dvd units Tsukko sold this week... this number is strangely round o.O;

News:
Amano's contract with Pony Canyon has ended, and it seems that it hasn't been renewed, so Tsukko's going back to indie now. Her producer wrote on his blog that she's returning to "simple rock" style (her debut indie single Hakoniwa is my favorite song zomg)! She has joined a trio called A LUNCH @.@ There might be problems with buying her(their?) new mini-album though, I couldn't find it on CDJapan nor Amazon :/

On 2007/12/05 Tsukiko's new band A LUNCH released their 1st single called MISTY that included 3 new songs.
(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1399/pacleu5.jpg)
Unfortunetely I haven't seen it available for download nor had money to buy it (surprisingly you can order it at CDJapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DAKKURA-17) unlike their debut mini-album) :(
So, almost a year since the release of Howling Amano's releasing a new single on 2008/01/23. The title is HEAVEN'S GATE (catalogue # KURA-0018).
I'd be totally okay with Tsukko being on indie label but the fact that some of her newer releases are only availalbe in label's store or through direct mail order certainly pisses me off :banghead:

Aaaaand she does it again! :lol:
Amano provides the theme song for the fourth installment of Fatal Frame (aka Project Zero for europe) on Wii!
Can't wait to hear the full song and watch the pv and more importantly PLAY the game!!!!

How do you like her new stuff under Amano Tsuki?
-
I like her new stuff :) Sadly that she made all in indie.
But it is really cool, what i heard!
