Question:
Is the album "Adachi Tribe" still available in stores?Answer:
I did a search around, and sadly, it seems that none of the main online stores (including Amazon.jp and Hmv.co.jp) stock this album anymore. It might still be possible to find some less well-known sites that still have the album in stock though. Question:
What was the best selling single or album from BACK-ON?Answer:
This is a fantastic question! :) I have to admit I don't know the answer to this yet but I'll definitely try and find out!Question:
Can you tell us taneuma's lyrics please?Answer:
I would definitely like to! However, unfortunately I don't understand Japanese well enough yet to be able to interpret it from the song (and am still awaiting the CD) so please check back with us again!Question:
Is BACK-ON planning to appear in any TV shows in Japan?Answer:
Apparently they're going to be on a late night TV programme called '音流' or 'On Ryu' sometime today. However, I can't seem to find many references to the actual programme itself, although apparently TVXQ have also been one of the guests at some point.Question:
Would the song Taneuma be able get downloaded on this site?Answer:
The song 'Tanuema' is by G.F.S and hopefully we will be able to put it up very soon!Question:
What was the first song ever made by BACK-ON?Answer:
This is a really good question! According to a good source (gangangan03) one of the first songs ever made by Back-on was 'Dreamer'.Question:
Is there a music video for ZERO?Answer:
As far as we know, there isn't an 'official' music video for ZERO. There was, however, a music video for 'flower' from that same single. Even Butterfly didn't seem to get one (just a promotional commercial or CM)Question:
Is there any possibility of a US tour?Answer:
It would be great if they could! We're keeping our fingers crossed at the moment. So far Back-on have not announced any news about their international performances this year.Question:
Are they going to have a concert in the Philippines?Answer:
We don't know about Back-on's forthcoming plans yet, but hopefully as their name and music becomes even more well known, they will be invited to visit/tour different countries around the world!Question:
Will there music come in American media (Tv, radio and cd?) Answer:
Hopefully! If, one day, BACK-ON could hit the mainstream in America, we would be absolutely ecstatic! At the moment you can buy their CDs from online stores that are in America. However, those stores tend to charge alot more for the imported CDs compared to online retailers such as CDJapan, Play-asia and Yesasia. Question:
Who is the actress in Back-on's flower PV?Answer:
The actress is 早瀬英里奈 (Hayase Erina) and we've written more about her here.Question:
Will the album be available on iTunes? Answer:
A source (see comment by MoogleSniperz) has said that the 3 most recent Back-on albums are already available on iTunes, so hopefully this means that flower and Butterfly will soon make their way to the American iTunes as well!Question:
Does KENJI03 have a Girlfriend?Answer:
We're not sure about this one! Maybe we'll find out during the next major interview with them! :) Question:
Who writes the songs?Answer:
Back-on is collectively credited for the music, but Teeda and Kenji03 are always credited for the lyrics.Question:
Does TEEDA have a girlfriend?Answer:
Hmm... not sure about this one. I think there are a few people on the Forums who are probably better placed to answer this, but for the sake of the band's privacy, would probably not disclose it. If we find out anything from an interview, we'll try and and let everyone know!Question:
What is anime matsuri?Answer:
Anime Matsuri was an anime convention held in Houston, Texas, America in April 2007. It is particularly notable as this is the venue where Back-on made their international debut and received a lot of positive reviews.Question:
How do you say kenji03's name?Answer:
It turns out the 03 indicates the area code where Back-on originate from (Adachi, Tokyo) but is used as 'san' (the onyomi pronunciation?) so one would pronounce Kenji03's name as 'kenji-san'. More information is available from the Forums.
However, Kenji03 now seems to pronounce it as 'three' during interviews, so maybe both work.Question:
Will they be signing autographs at Anime Matsuri? What time is their concert?Answer:
Yes. Anime Matsuri staff have said that there will be an autograph session as well as a Q & A panel. The concert time will be updated as we find out a bit more about the schedule.Question:
How old are the band members?Answer:
It might interest you to know that all the current band members were born in 1984, so they are at present all around the ages of 22-23.Question:
When is the next album/single coming out? Answer:
Back-on 's next single Sands of Time is due out on May 21st 2008 and will feature 3 songs. The first is the title track 'Sands of Time', which featured as the OP of Keitai Sousakan 7. The other tracks are 'message for kidz' and 'fifty/50'. The single cover is very simple, with a rather exotic hour-glass on a simple black and blue background. You can see the cover in the Discography section.Ask a Question:
