[HSJ] Lucky-Unlucky / Oh! my darling + Ai dake ga subete -What do you want?-
Hisashiburi~!
I missed a few releases (like 3 or 4 singles and an album!) in my journal and then JUMP basically had a year’s hiatus in terms of releases haha OTL (And Keito went off to do a 3 year program at actor school!)
But I figured I should write a quick thing for their new releases!
This time, there are 2 back-to-back releases over 2 weeks. The first is a double A side with a Yamada solo for the second song. The second is JUMP’s first DVD single release.
Lucky-Unlucky / Oh! my darling was released on May 22, 2019.
Lucky-Unlucky is the theme song for Chinen Yuuri’s current drama. Oh! my darling is Yamada Ryosuke’s solo song, being used for his current CM.
There are 3 versions with 6 different songs and 4 karaoke versions.
Lucky-Unlucky (+karaoke)
Oh! my darling (+karaoke)
Entertainment (+karaoke)
バンビーノ (+karaoke)
Last Dance
真夜中のシャドーボーイ~SENSE or LOVE remix~
The limited editions came with the PV and making for both Lucky-Unlucky and Oh! my darling. The premium limited edition also came with a tote bag with the shadows of the current 8 members.
愛だけがすべて -What do you want?- was released on May 29, 2019.
This is one of the songs for the drama Kasefu no Mitazono, in which Inoo Kei plays in.
There are 3 versions with 2 songs.
愛だけがすべて -What do you want?-
Bloom
This release had 2 PV and makings, one for the regular (dance) version and another for the Mitazono version in which the main character (from Tokio) appeared! The premium limited edition also came with a handkerchief.
I seriously love all the songs in these 2 releases! They all have their charms *-*
It’s super difficult to choose my one favorite. Maybe Ai dake. Or bambino. Or Last Dance. ^^;;;
Also, there’s a special campaign for this 2 week releases. Both regular editions come with a code you can use to access a special Hey! Say! JUMPの食事会 (dinner party). You had to input the code from Lucky-Unlucky RE on 5/22 - 5/26 and Ai dake RE 5/29 - 6/2. Then you can watch the video. I, unfortunately, decided to save $40 on shipping to send both releases to me in one package. So I missed the time frame to input Lucky-Unlucky’s code. So sad! I hope someone will share this about 60 minute video!
On a few more things to note, JUMP won’t have a tour this year due to bad fan behavior last year. Ugh, I hate how a few bad fans can just ruin things for the rest of us. I haven’t (and possibly never will) see JUMP live, but I still enjoy their concert DVDs and goods!
You can now buy Johnnys shop photos online! It’s a miracle! Amazing!
You need to register with a Japanese address, but you can use an international credit card. I ordered shop photos for Lucky-Unlucky and Oh! my darling, then realized I’m gonna have to place a second order for Ai dake if it gets released. There goes another 628 yen shipping charge (+international shipping for my forwarding service) haha.
The week before, on May 15, 2019, Kamenashi Kazuya released his first solo single, Rain! It also had 3 versions, and there was a lot of concert footage from his solo concert in 2017.
And on a personal note, my external hard drive has completely given up. I’m gonna need to spend more money to get a new one and spend time to try and get the back ups of all my files over. I’ve ended up not collecting JUMP magazine appearances and other scans (due to lack of HD sharing in the community), but have accumulated more videos! (I’m watching more shows, and I have a lot backed up omg)
That’s all for now. Hopefully I’ll be back soon :)
