OK, so since pretty much everywhere has a thread for their specific countries/regions, I wondered: Where's England's thread?

And so I made one :GGRR:

I know we don't got much in the way of H!P groups performing concerts on our shores, but with H&A due to perform in London this May, maybe, just maybe things will change. Hopefully, music in other languages, not just Japanese, will pick up in England.

I hope so.

Well i guess this is a base thread to use and when it looks like stuff is going to happen depending on how big it is , it might end up with its own separate thread.

Yeah... Shame this thread will then be dead for so long, since we hardly get anything in the way of anything H!P coming on our shores... In fact, isn't H&A the first H!P act to perform in the UK?

Why is it that the UK can't seem to get JPop artist to come over? Bar Utada and now H&A, I can't think of any that have come over to perform or even release a single/album over here...

I guess so yes. As for Hangry and Angry being the first HP act in the Uk that is still not the case since they are not HP <3

I think the reason J-pop artists don't tour here is that j-rock is quite big, we've had tours by the likes of dir en grey, girugamesh, versailles, de'spairs ray... And they have done pretty well, J-pop on the other hand has not had much of a foothold here, though Paul from Hello blog tells me that Utada's show was heavily attended, if H&A works, who knows what we might get in the future!

They picked the right part of the UK for it to be a success so this is pretty much the best shot they will get.

But Utada's show was only heavily attended because she's known from Kingdom Hearts... I mean, half the people there didn't even know most of her Japanese songs which annoyed me, since I'm an avid Hikki fan.

But yeah, hopefully maybe even MM might get sent over hehehehe *Wishful thinking but still, doesn't hurt to dream, right?

I kinda got my wish with HP and related groups coming to England. Hangry and Angry would just about top anything they currently have to offer for me :)

Only a Yuko Nakazawa or Kei Yasuda (better still both) concert or casual dinner evening would draw me in even more.

Opps better add or an Ongaku Gatas concert :D I doubt i would even attend a Morning Musume one anymore :P

XD That dissilusioned with MM huh?

Anyway, since this is a general disscusion thread about England, does that mean we can talk about anything happening in our tiny island? lol

Berryz might be a better bet since they've been doing the ending themes to that horrible football anime.

It would be awesome if Keichan or Ongaku Gatas came to England... I would do anything to get her attention lol.

I would go to a C-ute even but I doubt I'd go to a MM one.

One can only dream, right?

Despite me being really upset with MM, I doubt I'll pass up on the chance to see them perform in the UK... After all, I'm not really the biggest fan of H&A, the only reason I'm going is because I wanna see more artist perform in other language in the UK, rather than having to fork out loads to go over to Japan/US/Hong Kong/Singapore etc.

I guess it is a stepping stone and I would love to encourage more artists to come over and perform here in the UK. Who knows? Maybe one day, you'll have Angela Aki in the Royal Albert Hall, or Hikki in the 02. Personally, I would LOVE to see Hikki in the 02, but they only gave her the 02 academy Isington, which is TINY!!! <_<

Most of the H!P groups, if they came to our shores, would be attended by me. But still, we has H&A, it's a beginning

^yep and even if its not really H!P, H!P managment will surely pay attention to how the european H&A Concerts go to help in the decision where a H!P unit gets to perform next.

Well... I think we all know what's happened...

But what with MM coming to France, does anyone else think that we should have a meeting first and then try to organise a group trip to Paris?

I'd be up for it if it doesn't work out too expensive. I don't like the thought of travelling to Paris alone :wub:

I think its a good idea to meet up and plan ahead. Hope this works out.
Maybe we can meet at the LondonExpo...altho its 3 weeks away...is that too late notice for tickets (japan expo tickets and eurostar tickets)?
Too bad we dont know their schedule for the 3 days. Dont know if we need to be there for more than 1 day. i.e. hotel = £££.
