    • Aqua 5 "Time to Love"

    Posted by inbuninbu on Thu 30 of Aug, 2007 22:02 GMT-0000 posts: 31 ☆ ☆ ☆
    For anyone who has yet to hear about it, a special singing group called Aqua 5 was drawn together from Yukigumi members to sing a song at the opening of the IAAF games in Osaka last weekend. They were,

    Mizu Natsuki
    Ayabuki Mao
    Otozuki Kei
    Aya Naoki
    Ouki Kaname

    The song was "Time to Love" a cover I believe of a track originally by a capella men's group The Gospellers. It's a really catchy, upbeat tune and it brightens my day and makes me happy just listening to it, like a lot of top quality J-pop, there is a CM making of vid on Youtube but they removed the entire live TV version after one day, sadly

    I would really like to get hold of the song either download or buy it, but when I searched around it got confusing as I had to venture into the land of all-Japanese websites which still make my eyes go goggly as my Japanese isn't fluent. So I emerged unsuccessful. :-( I would very much appreciate anybody's help in finding a way to get the song by download. Then we can *all* listen to it non-stop and be happy forever. :-)

    I might have been mistaken but it perhaps looks like they plan to release it in the autumn? But if anybody can confirm or deny that it would help. In any case it's a great song and I'd recommend giving it a listen (or fifty! :-P) Thank you!

    There are AQUA5 pages in House Shokuhin (House Foods Corp.) site.

    http://house-aqua5.jp/index.html

    They are to appear in a TV CM for "Rokko no oishii mizu" (mineral water sold by House Foods). You can enjoy the CM (of course they sing "Time to Love") and you can get a fantastic desktop wallpaper of AQUA5.

    As you can find on the top page of the URL above, "Rokko no oishii mizu" AQUA5 package is already on sale in Japan. I'm searching for it at every convenience store and supermarket .....just in vain. Ugh.....

    Thank you guys! I am actually going to Japan for 8 months-ish on October 2nd so I might just try to be patient (something I'm not very good at) wait a little longer and then but it once I'm there.

    Thanks so much for your help & advice though, Much appreciated! Maybe I will have to get an i-tunes account after all.

    The four little buttons in English lead to the music stores. (Click on the iTunes one and it should open the application for you; make sure you agree to change the country code. You'll need to create a new iTunes account; follow JBox's instructions to do that.)

    And you can buy an iTunes gift card there. They're expensive, but the one time I bought a card from them they sent me the code by email within an hour, and there's nothing like instant gratification.

    ; Hope that helps.

    Hi! It is a very catchy song, isn't it? It's already up for sale online as an mp3 — you can see the various links to it in stores here.

    One way to get around the problem of needing a Japanese address to order from iTunes is to use a Japanese iTunes gift card, which can be ordered online. I've never done it, so I don't remember where you can buy them, but perhaps someone else can come to your rescue. :)

    I don't see anything up yet on the release calender in the TCA shop about a release date for the single CD, but word seems to be that there will be one, so let's keep our fingers crossed!
