Japan's Version of Tatu! (Mp3 + Video Download Available!)

[LenochkaO]

Universal Japan have announced that the group Juemilia (never 'eard of 'em, but they seem to be 2 teenage girls, surprise surprise) will release a Japanese version of ATTSS on May 28th. Audio extract available here: http://www.universal-music.co.jp/jue...dex_main2.html

It's, ummm... interesting. Not as bad as Hiromi Go's version of Livin' La Vida Loca, mind Apparently it's the duo's first attempt at songwriting (they've had one single out already, it seems).

Well, i kinda like japanese pop but i just listened to that cover and it's, uh... very bad!
Tatu, so young and already covered!

Photo of the aforementioned Juemilia and also another duo called Suitei Shojo, who seem to have picked up on the school uniform thing.

To be honest, i think it's fair to say that it's Tatu that borrowed the uniform thing to the Japanese in the first place.
In the ATTSS video they really look like two anime characters.

There's one or two images on the web of them actually depicted manga-style. Prefer the real thing, myself

Jesus. What would this be, "Bishoujo Magical Girl Lena"'s soundtrack? Maybe "Yulia Boy Captor" comes next. Watch Toonami to stay tuned! :P Just kidding.

Cute. But holds not a candle on Yulia's and Lena's voices.

For the OST of Haruka and Michiru Chronicles or another movie of Shoujo Kakumei Utena

Lenoch- is there no longer version? I like the beat! Thanks it put a smile on my face...


the only really pretty jap I've seen is Ayumi Hamasaki, but shes had numerous surgeries soo, maybe I should be praising her plastic surgeon..

[vic3k]

I'll keep an eye out (if I remember) for full versions, but as they're a relatively new group, there's still not an awful lot of info about them, as far as I could tell from a Yahoo.jp search. Certainly, if I find the lyrics, I'll try and translate them - they definitely aren't a straight translation of the English. All else failing, I'm sure it'll turn up at karaoke sooner or later. ATTSS is already there, and I do enjoy murdering that

Not as far as I can gather. I think it's just a straight copy of a similar tatu pose.

I think it could grow on me. And my b/f said he wanted to hear the full version, so you're not alone, petal

[jockdstylez]

Lenoch- Thankie! made me feel better! I like it, I deffinately will get the full version once it's available. i don't suppose you like Ayumi huh? isn't she like the Madonna there? bah..i keep listening to the lowly 44 secs of it..and I'm liking it more! hehe

GREG!! you should hear this!!

Ummm...I guess. Probably less controversial than Madge, though.

I'm not much of a j-pop fan these days (used to be keen when I was a student here in the mid-90s), so all these girly singers tend to blend into one as far as I'm concerned. Must be getting old or something

Human nature, m'dear.

At least it's acknowledged to be a cover, rather than just ripping off the melody in certain parts. When I came back out here in 1998, there was a song that drove me demented, because it had ripped off big chunks of "Torn" (Natalie Imbruglia), but was posing as an original melody.

[bladergirl]

thanks for the info. the japanese girls look good.

however, tatu is always the best!! and nobody can beat Yulia's style!!

LenochkaO, thanks so much for this! Awesome!! I loved the Japanese Version!
