AWWW WAFFLE, I love them (:
I miss the waffle forums too T-T Well it still works but you can't post lol.
w-inds. is the most active out of the three as far as I know. You guys should read Ryohei and Keita's blogs translated into English by wizardwinds @ lj. Ryohei's entries are SO CUTE.
I wonder what FLAME is doing nowadays. o_o
Oh I'm excited for Lead Movies 3... haha finally ^^ and it makes me a little sad that Lead doesn't do many performances as far as I know now T_T

I used to loooove keitachi. :]
His voice is so darn unique, gotta love it.
I didn't like w-inds. ... 'rock' style D;
In some of their songs... it's just... a tad too much yo.

I miss their young and happy daysies. LOL

Lead and Flame don't get as much promotion as w-inds. now because w-inds. is more popular and far more worth the money to promote. Not my opinion, but the truth if you look at it from a producer's POV.
Anyways, I'm a big Lead fan... They got me into Jpop, and then I curved my way onto Kpop. XD ^_________^

OMG wFL!!! <3333
I remember the good ole wFL days

They got me into the whole Jpop, VK, Kpop scene. XDDD
I LOVEEEEE KYOHEEEIII!!!! ;____;
He doesn't seem to be active though. D; D;
Shinya is so friggen hot. XDDDD
I remember I used to be sooo obsessed with Ryuichi.

Aaah okay, I get it ^^ They're still pretty popular thinkk.. atleast Lead is XD I think when Drive Alive released, they reached #9 on Oricon. Not very high but they atleast they made it

Who else misses Factory Generation?

May 6 2007, 08:30 PM
THEY MADE IT ONTO THE ORICON CHART?!?!?!? O_O"
I didn't know that... I LOVED Drive Alive... One of the best Japanese PV I have EVER seen, cause it was simple, flashy, a good song, and it included breakdancing! And they haven't breakdanced since... awhile... XD
w-inds. is the most popular. Lead ish second...
FLAME is almost out of flames... AHAHAHA get it, FLAME and flames? Like a candle, or fireplace? lmao... Okay okay I'll stop my simple-minded jokes now... =_="

w-inds. are still very active as compared to LEAD or FLAME.
w-inds. will be releasing a new single again for an anime.
please support RYOHEI, KEITA and RYUICHI!
i totally love LEAD's new 'STAND UP!' song tho.
their blog is effing hilarious. please see it.
as for FLAME, ???

^ didn't flame disband awhile ago..?? unless i got the info really wrong lol
actually i liked flame the least.

from w-inds, i looooved ryohei and from lead it kinda jumped around haha. but i stopped listening to lead after their 1st album though. and for w-inds i stopped listening after love is message. now i just listen to their old songs and watch videos of them when they were younger
YEEhaw
May 17 2008, 06:30 PM
I've listened to Lead and W-inds,
but never Flame.
I don't know why.
:S
But they're hot.
And their songs are good too!

I listened to all of them. I got into J-pop because of Lead. Before that I was "Johnny's Jr.s argh". LMAO. I thought boy bands were only from Johnny's Jr.s. [I like JJ's now though D: because of Lead]. I think Lead's popularity declined but that's me. Flame pretty much disappeared. w-inds is all over the place.

May 19 2008, 04:28 AM
hehe i used to LOVE WFL
my first love was w-inds they were acutally my first JPOP band where i got all fan girl mode on them hehe back when i was what 14-15 years old?? maybe slightly older!! i LOVE keita tachibana still do, hehe w-inds are soo cute and so talented i like how they improve each year!! i remember that period the super lover and love is message period hehe and how obsess i was with them!! i always think its a shame that it seems in japan their popularity is restricted although when u watch their summer tours u can still see that they r popular and can still fill the concert halls!!! although in comparison to other Johnny group w-inds is less successful but talent wise, with keita's vocal they are amazing!! plus i always hope that ryohei and ryuichi will start singing more now and slowly they are singing just a little little bit more now!!
but it seems like this year w-inds is more active in japan which i am very happy about it!! suprisingly w-inds is very popular in hong kong the girls there are crazy about them!!
i think LEad is sitll fairly popular but i dontk now where FLAME is now after when one of the member left and was replaced i remember they had one single out as a new unit but i dont see them anymore!! i used to love seeing WFL together and their interactions hehe and watching factory generation!! miss those days!!

I see Jini ^^ I still remember you, i'm not sure if you remember me though xD Snowy aka Ankie xD
I seriously miss wflforums T_T~
anyway, Lead were my first love *O* totally<3 But after some time i got really Lead deprived and kind of neglected lead

had no site to look up to for updated translated news of Lead. Didn't feel like joining stuff v_v
I have to say their new album (Feel the vibes) is pretty good~ XD i really like Keita's solo <3 keke. XD
i also listened/watched the new pv of w-inds. Ame something xD i forgot =X excuse me v_v
lol i'm kinda depressed that Ryohei didn't get much screentime v_v;; I think i only have seen twice? ._. not sure but it was short and fast T_T~~ Dx
and FLAME.. no idea v_v i just know JUNON still has them in their issues xD
I really miss their old style tho._.

lol it's so weird, I remember a lot of you guys from wflforums x]
I honestly haven't listened to FLAME ever since Kyohei left.
I still like w-inds. & Lead, but it's been at least a few months since I've listened to them.
I miss wflforums

Wow this thread is quit old. I like w-inds. first. They were the first j-pop group I like that got me into j-pop music. Then lead and then flame. And yes that wflforum I was also a member, a very long time ago.
I'm starting to listen to w-inds. again though.

Jun 14 2009, 07:14 PM
wFL was and still is better than Johnny's!!! >0 I don't care what anyone says.
FLAME was my first Jpop love, mannn, I grew UP with Kyohei *gushes*
And then w-inds. came second, because I LOVE their dancing. Their dancing is more fun to cover than Wonder Girls or all the girl kpop groups people are always doing dance covers of. And Keita can singggg.
And Lead. I was never a HUGE Lead fan, but I liked them~
w-inds. is STILL awesome~~
I haven't heard about Lead in a while...are they still around?
And FLAME, I miss them TT^TT Kyohei or not, the new member Seigo wasn't so bad. But now all the members are doing nothing but drama and movie after drama and movie, no time for music anymore

sad sad saddd

So FLAME is still active in Japan? They're just not doing music?

Does anybody know if there are any forums out there that are still constantly updating us about w-inds., FLAME, or Lead?

FLAME still do concerts and radio shows and everything pretty regularly~ But it's been a while since they've worked on anything new music-wise u_U I miss them!! Arggg!
I really like the website
http://www.f-l-a-m-e.com for FLAME, it's updated pretty well~
But...it's the Thailand fanclub, so it's 70% Thai..

I don't know of an english forum or site for them that's still up, sadly, I wish I did~
But if there is no other english site and there are FLAME-ers on here who really want me to, I wouldn't mind translating some of the news from f-l-a-m-e
Sorry I don't know any site for Lead or w-inds.
If anyone else does, do share~

edit: i just found another Lead site...
cosmicdrive.com

Jun 15 2009, 04:08 PM
Cosmicdrive is where I go to keep up with all my Lead info, and there's a couple of good places to get w-inds. info. Tabris still updates super-lover.net with stuff, and you can always check out the official na w-inds. fanclub:
http://www.w-inds.ws/ or the lj comm that everyone's really active in:
http://community.livejournal.com/feel_the_fateFor FtF, it's best to have an lj and join so you can see all the entries, but they're really active and up to date. Also, the site's currently down right now, but they brought the wFL forums back right after Christmas. I don't know how long it's going to be down, but the new link is: wflforums.co.cc
I'm more of a Kpop fan now, but I still watch out for news on all three of them because they were the groups that really pulled me into the asian music fandom.

This brings back memories. I use to live on wfl forums. I got so many wfl goods from that forum. I can't believe super-lover.net is still around.
At least some sites from my super obsessed days are still around. I really wish Flame and Lead would release new music, but Flame most of all. At least they haven't completely disappeared.
Even though I'm not into w-inds. as much as I use to be, I'm so happy their still around.

Actually, from someone that still follows them and is a big dork, they've reunited FLAME for a tour. They were involved in a musical earlier this year with Lead, and now they've got their own tour again. There's also a rumor going around thanks to YesAsia that Lead will be releasing a new single in August.
