My Newly Re-Designed Website!

I completely re-designed my website for easier navigation, so please refer to the photo below on how to navigate through the webpages. I like the new look and better accessibility to the pages. Before, everything was just a mess and I felt like I was repeatedly saying the same stuff over and over again.

As always, guys, feel free to email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to exchange/trade any J-pop albums/EPs/singles with me. I love J-pop iTunes music but please, no J-rock stuff unless it's from an artist I super like.

Here's my new website layout and how you should navigate through the pages:

AKB48 - 希望的リフレイン 劇場盤 - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

The other album artworks for this AKB48 single look weird, but I like the one I got.

綾野 ましろ - ideal white - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

I purchased 綾野 ましろ's newest EP release! I thought for a moment that this was Eir Aoi singing because they both sound similar. ideal white is featured in Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works].

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! If you want the album, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

藍井エイル (Eir Aoi) - BLAU (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

GACKT - MOON SAGA 義経秘伝 I & II -PREMIUM SOUNDTRACKS- (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Here's a shocker: this GACKT MOON SAGA soundtrack costs ¥4000. That's right; but, there's 42 total songs. GACKT's fanbase is huge, and the soundtrack is all produced by them. It's mostly an instrumental album, but I love the Japanese vibes from the songs.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! If you want the album, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

E-girls - Lesson 1 (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

E-girl's second album, Colorful Pop, was a really good release; the opening track is a really catchy dance track. But today, I have their super exclusive 1st album!

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! If you want the album, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

渡辺 麻友 - ラッパ練習中 Type-C - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Mayu is the queen of AKB48 at the moment. She won 1st place in that Senbatsu competition where fans placed votes on their favorite member(s), but I really think the group's management purposefully wanted her to win.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the EP! If you want the EP, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

河西智美 - 今さらさら(Type-A) - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Tomomi Kasai is a former AKB48 member. I love her high-pitched voice; it's heavenly and different from the typical J-pop idol voice.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the EP! I have Type-A and Type-B, so if you want them all, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

河西智美 - 今さらさら(Type-B) - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Tomomi looks so cute with short hair. Type-B's cover is the prettiest.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the EP! I have Type-A and Type-B, so if you want them all, please exchange some J-pop albums with me.

Not yet - already 通常盤Type-A (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Type-A's cover is my favorite (it looks like they're having a party!) and Track 1 of Not yet's "already" album sounds super cool! It's got this nice upbeat disco vibe. Great track opener! The other songs are just as awesome as well.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! I also have Type-B and Type-C so be sure to check those posts if you want to trade and have all the albums.

Not yet - already 通常盤Type-B (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Type-B's album cover looks weird compared to Type-A and Type-C; nonetheless, I still love Not yet! Yuko and Sashi are like the biggest faces of AKB48, but yes, there are other members that are just as popular or even more.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! I also have Type-A and Type-C so be sure to check those posts if you want to trade and have all the albums. The album's purchased by me~

Not yet - already 通常盤Type-C (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Not yet is a subunit of Japanese mega band AKB48. The only memorable faces I know that are in the group are Yuko Oshima and Rino Sashihara.

And...for today's special, I purchased their "already" album. Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! I also have Type-A and Type-B so be sure to check those posts if you want to trade and have all the albums. The album's purchased by me~

西野カナ Kana Nishino - Style. (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Kana, Kana. She never fails to impress me; I have this thing for Sony Music Japan Record singers. I'm promoting her music by posting one of her hits, "Style." which is the ending theme for the anime Soul Eater. I 150% know that her music will never be on iTunes US, and her collection is crazy expensive (almost ¥31550) but definitely worth it because her music is just...too...good.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for Kana's single. I have Kana Nishino's entire collection, which was posted a long time ago on this page (the page still needs an update though. I do have her latest single): http://jpopitunesplustrade.blogspot.com/2013/12/kana-nishino-itunes-plus-aac-m4a.html


やなぎなぎ - エウアル (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

This fairly new singer went on my radar not long ago; she is such a talented artist, and for that reason, I happen to follow her on social media sites! Her music is...a little unusual compared to all those other idol groups out there, but I like her style. I love her contributions to the anime world and I'm proud to say, I'm a huge fan of her.

やなぎなぎ only has 1 full album released so far, which I purchased. Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade (or exchange) for the album. I love exchanging albums with new people; it's cool seeing others have all these different kinds of Japanese albums, which I'm always happy to exchange for.

Aqua Timez - エルフの涙 (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

There are few J-rock bands that I actually like, and Aqua Timez happens to be one of those groups. I like to think of them as an alternative rock group, though.

Email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the album! ~Purchased by me

GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE - GENERATIONS (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

So...I'm not a huge fan of J-pop dude groups. They're virtually non-existent in the J-pop singing world unless you're talking about EXILE. I mean, it's mostly teenage girl groups, woman groups, female solo singers, or a few famous / recognizable guy singers. EXILE and their subgroups' music are pretty decent.

I purchased GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE's debut album from iTunes Japan! Don't hesitate to trade / email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want their album.

春奈るな - Startear - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

I purchased 春奈るな's Startear - EP, which happens to be the ending to Sword Art Online II! All the songs sound really great! Overall, the EP was nice, upbeat, and really fun to listen to.

Feel free to email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com to trade for the EP. I'll trade for ANY JAPANESE iTunes purchased music as long as I don't have it on my iTunes.


佐香 智久 (Tomohisa Sako) - 少年とロボット - EP

Tomohisa Sako's newest single is so-so compared to his older releases. My favorite single release from him is probably "Colorful World."

Email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want the EP.

Random thoughts...

So, I've decided to break tradition on my music blog streak by posting some random thoughts about what I've been up to lately! Ha ha ha. This is a blog, after all. It can be random if I want it to be.

I saw the Divergent movie about a week ago. The book was definitely a lot better than the movie, though. I mean, the main actor and actress were handsome and gorgeous, respectively, and I'm not really sure if a run-up sequel would do any justice to the series. The weird thing was, the book said Christina, of all people, was taller than Tris, but in the movie, Christina was a lot shorter than the main female character. It was a bit of an eyesore, but oh well. What can be done about it. The film cast is all set in stone, and nothing can be done to change it.

I also saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The movie was completely ACTION-PACKED throughout every scene. LOVED IT, even though I don't approve of violence. But if a good guy's out there to seek revenge on the bad guy, I'm totally in for it! I think I might have a crush on the Winter Soldier. He reminded me of Caius from the PS3 video game FINAL FANTASY XIII-2. Super stoked for the upcoming Captain America sequel!!! Chris Evans (aka Captain America) looked like a knight in shining armor, and I just love his awesome metal star shield.

Muppets Most Wanted was another cool movie I saw. I thought there was an overload on the singing, but overall, the plot was intriguing, and there were bits of comedy here that made the movie experience worthwhile. I never knew Tina Fey could sing! Wow oh wow, that lady sure has a opera -ish- voice. I liked how the characters went all over Europe to film the movie. I recognize some of the locations they toured.

When In Rome was a really cute and romantic chick flick. Josh Duhammel and Kristin Bell make such a cute movie couple, and I think they had really good chemistry in the film. I saw the movie on the 4th of July (fireworks day!) so I can't recollect about what happened in the plot.

I'm also waiting for the movie releases of Despicable Me 3 and Kung Fu Panda 3. The sequel releases have been confirmed. The little beanie yellow Minion guys are sooo cute, and I just love their squeaky voices. And who doesn't love chubby pandas who can fight kung fu?

I read the entire Divergent series by Veronica Roth and finished around mid-July. I just couldn't believe what happened at the end. I was STUNNED. No, SHOCKED even. Tris seemed like a strong-minded and powerful Divergent who was incapable of being destroyed, but her fate doesn't end so well. Poor Shailene Woodley. I'll see what happens when the final movie comes out in 2017.

CHiCO with HoneyWorks - 世界は恋に落ちている - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

I really like this EP! It sounds SUPER COOL, has a very upbeat and catchy melody, and is featured in the anime TVアニメアオハライド』. Plus it has these wonderful instrumental versions of the 2 main songs, which are always a joy to listen to. I now only post albums/EP's/singles that are purchased by me and are exclusively on iTunes Japan. Nowhere else. Enjoy!

~Email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com for it.~

青山 テルマ Thelma Aoyama - Lonely Angel (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Wow, Thelma Aoyama. It's been a long time since she's released ANYTHING. For those who don't know Thelma, she's a really good J-R&B singer, although a lot of the songs on her recent album release, "Lonely Angel," sound a bit American R&B with some rap here and there. Speaking of "Lonely Hearts," I purchased her album from iTunes Japan.

As I always say in all my posts, email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want her album.

ももいろクローバーZ - MOON PRIDE - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

ももいろクローバーZ's newest EP! I thought the EP sounded really awesome (and kinda cute) so I decided to purchase it from iTunes Japan! I heard there's an anime that features these songs, but I haven't had the time to check it out. :/

The MOON PRIDE - EP that is on the web is NOT iTunes Plus!!! It's ENCODED. Which I hate. Very much. Because the file says "AAC audio file" and not "Purchased AAC audio file." SO DON'T FALL FOR IT. If you did, ha ha ha. Good one.

Email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want the EP. I will give the EP to you if you exchange a J-pop iTunes Plus EP with me.

GReeeeN - 今から親指が消える手品しまーす。 (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

I purchased GReeeeN's newest album on iTunes Japan! Feel free to email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want the album.


Nana Mizuki 水樹奈々 - SUPERNAL LIBERTY (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Purchased by me from iTunes Japan! Nana Mizuki's 10th album release costs ¥2,500 on the Japan store. It's not available on any other iTunes store. 

Trade / email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want. I'll accept ANY J-pop album from traders as long as I don't already have the album on my iTunes.


Yun*chi - Asterisk*, Yun*chi - EP, Your song* - EP, Shake you* - EP (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

Yun*chi's sooo adorable, and all her songs sound REALLY REALLY awesome!!! That's why I decided to purchase all of her albums from iTunes Japan (it's only available on iTunes JP). Her music is mostly electronic genre.

Trade / email me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want them. I'll accept ANY J-pop album from traders as long as I don't already have the album on my iTunes.

Asterisk* = ¥2100
Yun*chi - EP = ¥1200
Your song* - EP = ¥900
Shake you* - EP = ¥1200
Total =  ¥5400

Yuki Kasiwagi 柏木由紀 (iTunes Plus AAAC M4A)

All are purchased from iTunes Japan. Email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com if you want it. I'll accept ANY J-pop album from traders as long as I don't already have the album on my iTunes.

SPYAIR (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

To me, SPYAIR is like the Japanese Linkin Park. They don't sing Linkin Park's songs, but just sayin', they're both cool rock bands.  

Email / trade with me at tiffydinhdinh8@gmail.com for these. I'll accept ANY J-pop album from traders as long as I don't already have the album on my iTunes.

iTunes+ screenshot of one of the EP's:

I actually purchased this album from Japan iTunes!! If you want it, you'll have to trade 2 JPOP albums since I had to pay a lot of money to get this album.
