JMusic-Hits.com : 3 ans... et demi, et des news (https, online shop)

Français
English (below)

FR :


Bonjour et merci de votre visite sur ce site m(_ _)m !

Un certain nombre d'évènements professionnels et personnels m'ont quelque peu empêché de produire autant de contenu que je le souhaitais, comme vous avez pu vous en rendre compte peut-être. Mais ce fut pour le meilleur, et désormais tout devrait se passer de manière plus fluide ^^

N'hésitez pas à revoir les pages suivantes que j'ai récemment complétées:
- Le 68e Kôhaku 2017
- Les classements J-Music 2017

Je vais progressivement rajouter 2 points au site, qui sera alors à peu près complet :

  • le passage en https, qui est désormais disponible pour la plateforme Blogger même avec un nom de domaine privatif comme c'est mon cas.

En réalité, il n'y a pas de gros besoin cryptage puisque je n'ai eu jusque-là aucune activité requérant d'info "confidentielle", mais c'est toujours plus rassurant pour tout le monde. J'espère juste qu'il n'y aura pas de bug à la transition. Je compte sur votre patience dans ce cas m(_ _)m
BUYMA, c'est à l'origine un site japonais de vente de particulier à particulier qui garantit le paiement et la qualité du produit livré en échange d'une commission (vous payez auprès de BUYMA, qui transfert ensuite au vendeur).
Le point fort de la société est d'assurer ces opérations au niveau international (initialement destiné à l'import de produit de mode de luxe) d'une part, et de permettre aux vendeurs particuliers de n'acheter en boutique les produits qu'ils proposent qu'après commande. De plus, à l'inverse d'Amazon mais comme Yahoo Auction par exemple, chaque vendeur doit créer ses propres pages produit, ce qui évite les problèmes de priorités au panier prises par des gens moins chers mais vendant peut-être à moindre qualité. Et depuis 2-3 ans, elle propose réciproquement un site en anglais pour des ventes hors du Japon.

En savoir plus sur Buyma.

Je me suis inscrit et vous pouvez déjà découvrir quelques exemples de produits que je compte y proposer : artisanat traditionnel, goodies otaku, et bien sûr musique (en général, des produits difficilement trouvables à l'étranger, ou des éditions limitées)...
Vous pouvez même me contacter pour des commandes spécifiques !

Ce sera mis à jour sur ma page Chibi Shopping 😉

Merci et bonne écoute,

"Chibi" Luc

Hello and thank you for your visit on this website m(_ _)m !

Some professional and personal events have a bit prevented me from producing as much content as I wanted to, as some of you may have noticed. But it was all for the best, and from now on, everything should move on more fluidly ^^

Don't hesitate to see again the following pages I recently updated:
The 68th Kouhaku 2017
The J-Music charts 2017

I'm going to add 2 points to the site, which then will be globally complete:

  • The transition to https, which is now available on the Blogger platform even when having a privateer domain name like mine.

In reality, there isn't a big need for encryption as I didn't undertake so far any activity involving "confidential" info, but it is still more reassuring for everyone. I just hope that there won't be any bug during the transition. In that case, I would rely on your patience m(_ _)m

BUYMA is originally a Japanese peer to peer selling site which warranties the payment and the quality of the delivered product in exchange of a commission (a bit like Amazon, you pay to BUYMA which will then transfer to the seller).
The pros points of the company is to ensure these operations at an international level (initially dedicated to the luxury mode products import) on one side, and to allow personal shopper to buy to real shops only after order. Also, unlike Amazon but like Yahoo Auction for instance, each seller must create one's own product pages, preventing the problems of cart priority taken by people with lower prices but also maybe lower quality.
And since 2-3 years ago, this company is also offering an English version site to sell outside Japan.

More about Buyma.

So I subscribed and you can already discover the kind of products I intend to propose: traditional craft, otaku goodies, and of course musical goods (in general, hardly found outside Japan, or limited editions)...
You can even contact me on Buyma for specific orders !

This will be updated on my Chibi Shopping page 😉

Thank you and have a nice listening !

Can you celebrate ? (Eng)

Record-breaking song and a signature of the Japanese star Amuro Namie, here is one of  the most popular J-Pop love songs during wedding parties in Japan. Even if it was not a particularly good souvenir for its first performer...

Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) - Eng

By the end of 2017, while she was celebrating in live her 40th anniversary, including 25 years of career, the J-Pop singer Amuro Namie announced suddenly her retirement for the following year from show-biz, to take care of her family. An announcement followed in January 2018 by the one of the famous producer Komuro Tetsuya who had launched her, which obliges to come back without delay on this princess of J-Pop.

Makenaide (負けないで) - Eng

While Japan is getting stuck in the recession of the "Lost Decade" after the collapse of a speculative and real estate bubble, ZARD encounters their 1st big hit in 1993 with a cheering song which will accompany the salarymen during their long overtime. A song which will take a more dramatical meaning 13 years later for the singer Sakai Izumi...

Choo Choo TRAIN (Eng)

After seeing the presentations of EXILE and ZOO, the most informed have probably guessed that I was soon going to speak about Choo Choo TRAIN and its famous choreography 😏. Here is indeed the article on this railway-lover winter song which is making a living for these 2 bands, and also for the advertisers and otakus for more than 25 years !

ZOO (Eng)

Launched on the rails of success in 1989 by a TV show about dance, the ZOO band is a collection of the best Japanese dancers of the moment, dancing on the voice of one or two female singers depending on the time. If the show meets success on itself, it is especially thanks to an ad music for the national railways company, the Japan Railways (JR), that the band became famous...

Arigatou - ありがとう (Eng)

For the 10th year in Major of its creators and 1st performers, Ikimonogakari (いきものがかり), I introduce one of their signature song, Arigatou which, you probably already know it, means "Thank you" 😉 . But to who are these thanks, and from who ? And why this song rather than any other with the same title did engrave itself into the Japanese culture ?

Mirai Yosouzu 2 - 未来予想図 II (Eng)

As I'm writing it in January 2016, year of the monkey (saru), I wish you an happy new year... and I apologize for not having posted more J-Music standards articles during these first months of existence. I should have more time this year, and as a good resolution, here is this one, I wish I had released sooner...
Last 6th of May 2015, we celebrated the 50 years old of Miwa, singer of band Dreams Come True whose we celebrated too the 25 years of  career between 2014 and 2015, and thus I'm going to introduce to you one of their numerous standards, precisely their very 1st hit, Mirai Yosouzu 2 (未来予想図 II). However nothing was predestining this title to such a notoriety, apart from this puzzling "2", as no other identical title had been released before !

Back to the Future

Ye Lai Xiang - 夜来香 (Eng)

In counterpart to my article on Shinda onna no ko, I'm going to introduce a love song that could probably call the Japanese Lili Marleen due to its history which confounds with the one of the Chinese-Japanese war and due to the extraordinary destiny of her first performer with multiple aliases, Yamaguchi Yoshiko (山口 淑子) aka Li Xianglan...
