"Animeja ~Ghibli Songs~" is the newest release based on some anime movies' them songs of Ghibli Studio (that are really popular in all over the world). All the songs in this album are the new remix from original melody with the lyrics were written all in English. Among these, Inoue Joe cared for the 6th track 「君をのせて」 (Kimi wo Nosete - Carrying You) in the anime "Laputa - Casle in the Sky".

Some spoilers was posted on Inoue JOE's official site on August 19th with not much information. At this time, we only can guess the name off this album could be 「DOS ANGELES」 (still have this "?" in the post, means it still needs to be chosen by his manager / label director or some thing like that :P ). Other information is just album's catalog and, of course, its prices.

4 days after. Late at night (2010-08-22 23:35:20).

Joe shared some news on his personal blog.

「DOS ANGELES」 has its decision to become the official name.

Joe also wrote more about the pre-production of this album releases on October 6th.  

According to Joe's blog, the PV promotes for DOS ANGELES had already finished. As usual, Joe directed this music video himself and it was a fresh challenge for him (engage to make us surprised, neh?). Joe also took the photoshots and other footage which will become bonus part in the limited DVD.

「DOS ANGELES」 probably is a play word from Los Angeles - the prideful hometown of Inoue Joe. Moreover, the word "dos" has another meaning. It's "two" in Spanish. (which true is Joe with many of his characters like before)

The official announce for Inoue Joe's 2nd album published in inouejoe.com yesterday, included the full tracklist below:

「DOS ANGELES」
2010.Oct.06

Links to pre-order Inoue Joe the SECOND album have already existed on some online buying sites such as cdjapan or yesasia though there is no official announcement on his site up to now.

Joe hasn't decided the name for his 2nd album yet. Then, cdjapan calls it "UNTITLED" while yesasia leaves "Title To Be Determined" (^o^). This album comes with 2 version: First Press Limited / Album+DVD Edition (KSCL-1640) and Normal / Regular Album Edition (KSCL-1642).

It will release on 6th October, including intro theme of anime series "Yorinuki Gintama-san" (Kaze no Gotoku) and the new song ties in NHK's show "Minna no Uta" named 「ハロハログッバイ」 (Halo Halo Goodbye).

To the end of this entry, .♥ Kingdom of Joe ♥. brings to you an extra news about the 2nd song in the single 「風のごとく」 (Kaze no Gotoku). 世界のかけら (Sekai no Kakera) was decided to be the ending theme of NHK-FM's "Music Line" (every Monday through Friday, from 21:10 to 22:45). Don't miss it if you can catch this radio wave in your country :).

Update the official announcement for the release of our majesty:

The official CD cover of  Inoue Joe's 5th single 「風 のごとく」 (Kaze no Gotoku) has published recently. Though pre-order links to this CD appeared very early in cdjapan or HMV, YesAsia is the first site and the only one up to now proclaims Kaze no Gotoku's cover. It's here:

To promote for this single, as usual, Inoue Joe official site changed its look. Some of his newest images can be seen there or you can download them right in our blog.

Artist: Inoue JOE (井上ジョー)

This show will tell you exactly how humorous JOE is !!!

The clip starts with a short introduction of J-Melo. Joe's image in this part is familiar with all of us. Do you remember JOE's room in his 1st e.p, in the show Utatane, his blog and further...?

J-Melo talk starts after that. JOE Inoue is the 1st introducing artist among their 4 (the rest is: Naoto Inti Raymi, Okamoto's, Baby M). May J is the hostess as usual. (JOE's so sexy~~!!) Within this part of the show, JOE answers some questions about his music. What is the reason leads he choose Japanese music entertainment? Why did he have this style of "One Man Band"? What is his favorite instrument?...

Kaze no Gotoku PV comes right after this talk. Though it's not the full version, it still can make you melt with no doubt ;). Nothing more will be described here.

And at the end of the show, May J has a request for all 4 artists: "Write down their dreams and show it up". Lol, with Inoue JOE, it's... PARTY HARD!!

*I'm in the influence of Pokemon pun

In the first time I knew that Joe would appear in NHK's J-Melo which can be seen on NHK World (thanks to blizaga_03), I was in a hurry checking the homepage of J-Melo show to know what is the exact broadcast time of Joe's appearance (luckily this channel is available in my country). However at that time, there was only the June schedule.

Knowing nothing, I forgot noting that Joe's J-Melo to re-check its web when July came. I didn't expect that this show broadcast so soon like this. And...

At the evening of broadcast day, I came home and turned on my computer. Though I don't have a habit to check facebook friends' status, that day I DID this work (so strange, neh). Then, it became my second luckiness related to Inoue JOE's J-Melo. I was totally surprise when seeing Sarah's ones and realized that I forgot this J-Melo (oh my...)

I immediately called to my friend who promised helping me watch this show. In fact, I'm living in a rent house as a college student and my roommate's TV box can't get this channel. This time was 22:30PM 5th July in Vietnam (~00:30 JST).

My friend changed her TV channel and made me scream out by telling me that J-Melo was showing right at that time.

Gods blessed me!
There still had the last chance for me to watch this show lively on TV. It was 04:30 JST on Tuesday (6th July) and 02:30 GMT+7 in Vietnam. I had to persuade my friend let me stay at her home for this night (she is the one who has a hard competition for a seat in a college/university in some next days). In the end, she agreed (omg, I was so happy).

Then, I left on 23:15 and rode my bike to her home 5km far from my place. I came there after 17 minutes :P. Going out at this time is not really safe (I'm a super-chibi girl and still get trouble with my illness) but JOE is more and more important =].

I could not do anything except for watching... the clock =]. That WAS my last chance. Then...

Finally I SAW him and totally got full of happiness ♥~!!! Nyah~ (do something fangirl-ish)
Try hard in high temperature of Vietnamese this time makes me feel sick. But I'm pleased with this XD.


Fullshow of this J-Melo already existed in the internet. Though its quality is not good at all but still better than nothing, rite?
I finished cut off JOE part from that show but still in the process of uploading. The next post here will be this. Stay turn, minna-san ^^!

We all believe that "CLOSER" is the most popular song of Inoue Joe when it tied in the famous anime series "Naruto Shippuuden".
We all believe that this song has the biggest number of versions, too. But...
Actually, how many are they?

So, today we gonna catch 'em all

Have you listened to "It's Joe Time vol. 10"? Its been updated yesterday! Listen to it here yo! And be quick, it'll be removed 2 weeks later (I think XD).

Have you seen Joe's blog? Yesh, he changed his header yesterday!

JOE'S BLOG - Joe Inoue Official Blog

(click for a larger preview, or just go to his blog)
I prefer the previous one. XD (Do you by any chance have the screenshot of it? I apparently forgot to take one =.=)

SO! I cropped the header out of his blog~ If interested, feel free to snag.

(click for actual size)

Aaaaand. Of course, with my very, VERY limited Photoshop skills, I tried to make a similar looking header just like his, to share with Joe fans out there! ♥
If you look carefully, the one I made is actually a bit darker (for the lighter Joe part) and the 4 lighter Joe's are slightly higher. Unless you want a TOTAL SIMILAR header, feel free to request and I shall work on it ;) I dared not make a total similar one as I'm afraid copyright rules are applied to the header LOL. I'm pathetic yesh I know XD
As usual, feel free to snag, but a comment is HIGHLY APPRECIATED~! Heeee~

Please click on image to lead you to my blog to get the actual piece of work I made XD

Disclaimers are on my "that" post. XD

CUTE RIGHT? XD And how Joe sung, "I'm gonna kick your stupid, little, puny *ss", shocked me. XD

So I've ripped it off YouTube and decided to share with you all, Joe fans out there!
Quality: LOW! I have no idea how to rip it off HQ-ly. XD
Dimension: Not sure. I don't know how to measure. But its the same size as the YouTube one ;)

Also, I've ripped the audio out of it too. XD
WHOLE: 1:59
CUT: 1:51

It's been a long long time since the last time I had a post here neh? Nearly one year, rite? It's equivalent to the period Joe did nothing new (for his international fans) :P.

Actually, this site has frozen for this long time just because of only one reason: its poster is too lazy (I mean... it's me :P).
But now, Joe is coming back and me too ^^.
I cannot sure about the frequency of new posts here cause I'm still lazy now and I have some business with my school work + part-time job too. However, I will try to run this blog again. If you are Joe's fans and believe that you can help me update this blog, I will very appreciate this. Thanks in advance.



For this comeback, I re-post one of my personal entry on my blog that I forgot posting here in the right time. It's too late now but I still think it's funny to read again :P.

Pa! Pa! Pa!
It's over one year since the first time I said Hello! to you. Time has gone so fast...

Remember in my memories... The day you appeared was like an illusion. You aroused all my feeling which seems to be sunk Into Oblivion by the long lonely days. You were so naughty, like a Humming Bird attracted my attention. Surprisingly, I asked: "What is your name?"

You like a spring comes into my cold heart. You make me become a crazy car, make me do anything to be Closer to you. One Man Band is something miraculous. But I love you not only because of that. Knowing more and more about your personality is the reason Ties The Two of us. Your Gravity becomes deep, deeper in myself. Nowhere in my heart does not exist your image though I don't want to think about it. Unexpectedly, I turn into a satellite clings to you but not anyone else.

Hannah~
Today you are already 24 year olds withfull of Rage. If I could meet you at the midnight, it would be an enjoyable Party Night when I sing P.J Anthem instead of birthday song.

You're still In A Way to GO★. Never give up my beloved, because I always follow behind you.

Love you so much!
Happy birthday to my Inoue Joe ^o^!

Actually I'm not sure about the meaning of 零時. I don't know Japanese at all. Google translates helps me so much to understand the meaning of some song titles in Kanji, except for this one: RAGE ~twenty four~.
Nah~ But I think I've tried so much to write these things above. It's not bad, rite? ^^~
