(comment: Seems like my husband, Takahiro is gaining more fangirls huh? He placed higher than Tackey, Yamapi and Junno lol)

Sorry for lack of updates as I’m really busy with work. Anyway, EXILE is not much active these days as they are taking some break. But here are some news highlights that happened recently.
Awards:
- EXILE won the Kids Choice for Best Singer award during the last Nickelodeon Japan’s Kids Choice Awards. Congratulations!!!
- Lovers Again was awarded as one of the top 5 biggest royalty-earning songs for 2007 by JASRAC (Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers). The award is based not just on CD sales but also on digital downloads and karaoke song ranking. Again Congratulations!!!
Live Performances:
- EXILE will be performing on this year’s a-nation 2008 on 7/26 and 8/02 dates together with other Avex artists.
- Also EXILE will be on this year’s J-Wave 2000+8 event which will be on August 15-17. The concert will be in Yoyogi Stadium. It is not clear yet which day EXILE will be performing, so stay tune for the updates
Rumor Tracklist for Entertainment Best?!?!?
- Okay on some fansites there is a rumor of the tracklist of EXILE’s 2nd best album, Entertainment Best. Sad to say, there are no “new songs” and most of the songs are remakes.
The rumored Entertainment Best Tracklist:

Finally, I changed the layout of this fanblog. I really want to change the layout but I was busy with real life works and some subbing projects. Sorry for the crappy header as I just randomly made it in PS.
There will be some changes for this blog like putting a lyrics section which will feature the translated EXILE lyrics by lopka. Also I will try to move out all my EXILE media files in this blog (a password-protected media section). The subbing projects are still on progress. 8thSin is still translating MechaIke SP, fushi_oli is taking care of translation of Pussuma (with Makidai and Takahiro) while lopka just announced that she will be translating 6 nen me no Shinjitsu. So let us all wait until they are done translating.
There are little updates on EXILE recently. The latest news is that EXILE worked with T-Kura and michico again for ENTERTAINMENT BEST.
EX-IT is almost 9-months old now. I hope you will continue supporting not only the blog but EXILE as well. If you want to be a staff of EX-IT/EXsub, please feel free to contact me or comment on this entry.
Yoroshiku!

The EXILE song and dance performance unit announced on Tuesday that more of EXsamurai, the anime that features the seven unit members as characters, is in production. The story recasts the members as samurai surviving in a near future when Japan has been reduced to ruins. The EXILE Entertainment Best compilation CD will include a special extra DVD with the “Roppongi Jigoku no Sh?” (”Roppongi Hell Chapter”) anime when it ships in July. There are also plans to make anime for television broadcast and theatrical release, but no date has been set yet.In the meantime, the EXsamurai prologue, the short that was included with EXILE’s Love album on a special extra DVD last year, will be distributed free of charge on Yahoo! Movies Japan from April 29 until May 31. (The streaming service required a Japanese Internet address and Microsoft Windows with recent versions of Internet Explorer and player software.)

Okay after couple of months of not being a hiatus which originally I thought it is the end of EXsub already, EXsub is finally back. Give props to fushi_oli and lopka for translating some videos for us. And since EXsub was inactive for quite a long time, we are giving 4 subbed videos. Hope that this will be the start of EXsub’s continuous releases.
Just some notes for the videos:

EXILE does TV Tokyo Olympic theme song
From their latest no. 1 album “EXILE CATCHY BEST,” EXILE’s “Fly Away” has been chosen as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s broadcast of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
“Fly Away” was the group’s third single, released in 2002. The song expresses the feeling of facing one’s dream and pushing forward towards it. Group leader HIRO commented that the song is full of strong emotions, and that he was honored the song was chosen to cheer on the Japanese athletes.
TV Tokyo’s coverage includes the men’s 81kg and women’s 63kg judo, the men’s gymnastics finals, and the men’s soccer finals.
