This Time by Maniac Garage
This Time by Maniac Garage
listen to it here:
I heard this first from a Spanish speaking woman in her mid or late 40's. And She got this song as her ringtone! At that time, I thought this Maniac Garage is a Colombian or a Spanish local band and I thought it was cool to hear this kind of song from her phone.
I have been hearing this song for almost half a year now, And that was after a few minutes of serious Googling I finally found it!
Well, I never really got the full song. just the 30-second mp3. (and I am starting to believe that this is all there is)
But what's interesting is that I learned that this song was first done by a JPop artist named Makou.
As a consolation I got Makou's version of This Time safely hibernating in my hard drive.
Here is Makou's version:
Lyrics are here: ( i think the lyrics Tia got here needs a minor correction.. lol)
Song Artist: Makou
Song Title: Right Now

Google can't help. answer.yahoo.com neither. These guys are virtual unknown.
Makou is a Japanese pop artist, but her song "Right Now" came out in Korea around 4 to 5 years back!

Hey wassup everyone! How's the epic hunt for the "One-Hit-Wonder Turned Into A Ghost-Kind-Of-A-Band" went so far? When you reaaaaalllllly want to hear something this good and you can't even get or buy the full song to listen to it, it sucks eh? Seems like something out of your control is denying you to hear it! Maybe, just maybe.. If rich records producers hear or see this mini-song on youtube getting a million hits, they will be thrilled to hunt the band for us. What do you think?

Hello Maniac Garage hunters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Those exclamation marks are necessary. lol)
I'd given up all my hopes for searching the (not-so-existing)could be- mp3 of this song.
First, let me state my reasons why I tend to be so certain that there's nothing more to find about them: this band Maniac Garage and their song Right Now.
Its been more than half a decade now (or longer than that and that's what i believe) since the first accounted query for this band came up. And it is already July 1, 2010,(BTW, LeBron James is a free agent now! Where do you think he'd end up? lol) at this day and age it is really so difficult to be invisible even if they chose to.
Traces of them should have came up by now if they really are for real.
Somebody would have uploaded the whole song on Youtube, or even shared it on limewire already.
Some kick-ass blogger would have already blogged about it.
BUT NONE of those should haves and would haves ever happened.
And as for the 'Right Now' remix that I am planning to create, I will keep it on my to-do list and will do it when time already permits me.
Peace out people!

Where On Earth is Maniac Garage?

I want that song, sooooo bad, wtf would they put a song onto the phone that sounds better than the top onehun then not let you download it!!!
Yeah.. the one on the phone is better. Too bad, couldn't find it anywhere.
I can get use to the Makou, its just annoying not to be able to find the phone version anywhere.
Maybe it'll be released someday soon.
["Maybe it'll be released someday soon."]
I hope so too! :)
I've heard the whole song, but I shudder to say what from. I could crop it out of said context using audacity, I suppose. :P
["crop it out of said context using audacity"]
Coincidentally, I've been thinking of doing the same thing! Though I am afraid it might sound a little bit monotonous. Hmmm. How about a remix!? Haha. Let's try that!
There needs to be an epic hunt for this band and the songs
i recently bought an LG KS360 and i found this song in the mp3 folder. it was the first time i heard about this and i searched it on the web. i'm so disappointed i cannot find the full song anywhere.. :(
hey could you send me that 30 sec sample. i would really appreciate it. adi_secheli@yahoo.com
Love This Song,Just Hope That Maniac Garage Will Appear Soon.I Wonder Why They Disappear Suddenly
Just Wish To Have The Full Song,Wonder Where Are They
This song is impossible to find! I've been looking and looking. Are they still being put on all verizon new phones? I got mine a while back and it also has it. I use it as my alarm to wake up to everyday =)
i use it as an alarm clock too. I was looking for the whole song and ended up here...this sucks.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
I really wanted this song! Hi guys I add agatha_sofile@hotmail.com
I totally feel your frustration!! why can't find this song?? I searched for hours (seriously) yesterday to no avail. I wish I had gotten it off of my old LG somehow before I got my current Samsung. Maniac Garage, we need a full version!!!
I wrote a bit in my blog about my plight. Thanks for the awesome YouTube video!

I'm guessing Maniac Garage isn't a real band. Being that the song was a K-Pop hit and LG is a Korean company, they probably just re-recorded the song for western territories with session musicians. This way they have something that comes on the phone to demonstrate that you can use standard songs and the quality of playback of them.
I have this as a ringtone on my used Dare. I thought it was maybe a ringtone that the previous owner had purchased.
i am also searching this song...but i can't find the mp3 version...i have in my phone the 30 sec. but for me it's not enough..i like the song a lot and i like it full
ok , my 15 month old baby friggin LOVESSS this song lol, cries & screams when the ringtone ends,then dances(really dances) when it comes back on and I can NOT find the song anywhere!! :( I'm 41 yr old mommy & this song makes her happier than ANYthing!! HELP please?! Driving me insane trying to find this maniac garage band(NO albums??) and desperately willing to PAY for an mp3 of the whole song!!! :( I'm serious,this isn't a joke, she was born Jan 26,2009..never seen anything like it lol! Also please get rid of the spammers on your site,took me forever to get to bottom! Thank you for having this site & info though! Please let me know if you find this song! :)
Is there anyway you can tell me where I can download the ringtone? I had it on my LG, but I had to get a new phone....I miss my ringtone!!
This post is beyond awesome. I am always wondering what to do and what not to do so I will follow some of these tips.
The lyrics for the Makou version is wrong. Here is the right one :P

All goes to memories of the place we laughed and cried
In the days we loved the life and tried to make our way

And I cannot believe you’re here in front of me
But I can reach you

Here is a link to the song. You can buy it on itunes:
http://www.ilike.com/artist/makou/track/Right+Now?from=imeem
The one above is correct except for this line:
"I see you speaking behind a pinned smile."
It is definately painted smile. But the rest is correct.
I love "this time" there were times looking for thank you *----------------*
ps:I'm from Brazil I do not know very well english >.<
awwww, well like others before me I end up here as well...dead end...the Makou version is ok but I much prefer the one thats on the phone...I would think there is a version of it out there somewhere..just like the song by Bryan Adams "Heaven" and remixed by DJ Sammy...I dont know..just hope it turns up one day soon if its out there.
Really interesting article. Hope to see same more!
i guess im just another one that cant find .THE FAMUS UN POPULAR MANIAC GARAGE-THIS TIME SONG.. DAMIT I HAD HOPES TO FINDING IT. ALL I GET IS A DAILY ALARM 30 SECONDS.. IF ONE DAY ITT APEARS PLEASE SHARE lastnunez@msn.com
Good article. Thank you.
Ok for all you desperate hunters, i have the full song. Email me if you'd like it, barefootgirl123@yahoo.com
heard this song a couple months ago on my cousins phone and hated it at first, but after hearing it over and over after that it got kinda catchy and i actually like it a lot. when i googled it there was nothing to be found except for the thirty second reel. and too bad its only the thirty seconds that everyone is talking about. My cousin has an Lg Rumor 2 and it was a free ringtone. I think said "Maniac Garage" is simply some advertizement ploy for Lg phones that copyrighted and reproduced only that 30 s reel of the Makou version. and if not, then thats too bad because that could have been extremely popular.
ohhh please ... whre i can find this song entirely :X
I too hated that song the first few times. I thought it was kitschy and amateurish. Then I became intrigued by it, specifically by its songstress.
There are two instrumental pieces on my LG in the Sounds file, “Airport” and “Mystique” that I really like. I don’t know who performs them, either.
I have the LG Ringtone, or had. i made a video of it and put it on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McOpOyRTPWE&NR=1
If you listen to the Makou version, I think it may actually be her voice with out all the techno and splicing. It looks like they just cleaned up the vocals, or had her sing it without digitalizing her voice. Is this a possibility do you think?
You gotta be kidding me. I have that ringtone ever since I purchased my LG cookie KM500 (something like that). I love it! and it brings me so many memories of the time I lived in San Luis Potosi. I was looking for the whole song and ended up here....come on! am I also a victim of LG???? a desperate mexican who wants this song badly :'(
haha!! me too!! badly love it!!XD
Still searching... Has anyone actually called LG personally? I'm getting to the point where I might give them a call and try to get some more clues. Somebody there HAS to know something...
Dios no puedo creer esto, yo soy de colombia... Mi hermana pelea conmigo todas las mañanas porque no le gusta la cancion, pero a mi me encanta queria encontrarla completa pero no encuentro muchos resultados y ahora veo este blog y woww!!! impresionada con la historia de esta cancion mmm bueno ya veo que no soy la unica que la ha tenido de tono de alarma no se que tiene pero me encantan mis 30 segundos de la cancion. Saluditos
wtf cannot anybody catch that song?
Sooooooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaad
Its gone even more tuff frm before, can't find the song too... :(
Hi
You can't find this song because it never officially existed. That's why "Maniac Garage" is so impossible to find on the net; they too are imaginary. Let me explain: The song was part of a copyrighted but royalty free and credit free musician song kit (Guess that's why LG included it as a ringtone). These song kits are usually used by musicians, who don't have the money for studio costs, to showcase their work. I discovered the song for the first time in the mentioned song kit and after I had done my version of it, I thought I'd find other versions on the net to see how the quality of myne compared to the rest. That's when I realised the search for "This Time" had been raging on for a long time.
At "This Time" then, I'm glad to announce that I've just released my own licensed version this song. The song doesn't come with chords in the song kit and seeing that before my version was complete, I had not ever heard the ringtone, my version has a different chord arrangement than that of the ringtone. Although it's not exactly the same, it might appeal to many people who like the ringtone since it's got a staggeringly similar feel and it's not as jazzy and seemingly unsynced as the one on YouTube by "Makou" or the so-called "original" version by "Maniac Garage". My version is called (Right Now) This Time (Strangely Re-Plucked Mix) and you can listen to it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n4mqGhs5iQ
I think Right Now is the original because I have a game called DJ MAX & it have that song the game came out at 07 in asia & I in-ported it I know the song before I know Maniac Garage that what I think, you can even wiki it & find Right Now on the song list I wiki Maniac Garage got nothing.
I really liked your article.
The song is this time by maniac garage..
its been 2yrs since i'm hunting 4 the song....where r u maniacs????
So what is the royalty free but copyrighted song kit and where can i buy or find it?
by the way, i'm not talking about the final song by Makou or Dj Max 2 portable, or LG, or Maniac Garage...
I'd like to have a look at the song kit that made the song possible...
I can't find the song at all either, and I've googled vigorously(what does that mean?). I've searched EVERYWHERE extremely thoroughly, but all I could find was this cruddy one by a bunch of idiots! I can't get a link, but I'm totally frustrated!
In the Philippines,
they are playing this song in one of the leaading bookstores, NAtional book store. i have heard the full song for more than 5 times alrady, but NOT the Japanese Makou version. it kinda sounds like the maniac garage. When I asked the sales lady, they say that they are unable to tell me for the musics are fed by the main office. its so frustrating! i'm gonna be posting the song once i get my hands on it.
there's a full song, everyone!
The song is in fact a demo in a composer soundpack for which a licence can be purchased at an unknown company; then you can do whatever you want with the instruments and female voice samples. It was released in or before 2005 so it would be really hard to find nowadays.
I asked LG where it comes from and they have no clues... Don't bother sending a email / phone call or online chat request to LG...
More details about this song: From Maxume on youtube
Source: http://hubpages.com/entertainment/Right-Now-This-time-the-artist-is-real
Quote from Maxume (the source) : The track was originally composed and written by 2 guys from the UK under commission from a sound sample production company.
There is no doubt that “Makou” used the exact same vocal samples I did in my production and hence, it's not a female vocalist from Japan who performs it. Take a listen to my track and theirs and compare just the vocals; Apart from the tempo, they are exactly the same. The song creation pack simply names the vocalist as “Sarah”. That doesn't have a Japanese ring to it, now does it?
The license agreement of the song creation pack in question, grants the licensee the right to use the contents in ANY production and it's therefor safe to assume that LG had some session artists perform the song to use as a ring tone. When you go into the nitty-gritty of royalty distribution, the benefits for LG in doing this becomes glaringly obvious. The release date of the song creation pack and the first questions I could find posted about the ring tone also conveniently co-insides. However, this is just an assumption; not a fact.
... Another quote: As you can imagine, the chance of getting your hands on a possible hit track doesn't roll around everyday for an unsigned, independent artist such as myself. As a result, I reserve the right to be vague with specific details. That being said, let's continue:
2017 and this song never gonna found
2018... 9 years since the creation of this post and 13 years since the song was first found.. at this point it is safe to say that a full version of this masterpiece either doesn't exist or will just never be found.
My guess it is something that some musically talented Verizon employees(or their kids) have put together solely for the purpose of the ringtone to avoid licensing the song from Makou.
Link?
We might got new lead on it. In the new LG ad for the LG Velvet the person singing the "Favorite Things" sounds remarkably similar to Maniac garage. Listening side by side it sounds like her voice is older. We might be able to find the missing link. Come on gang there's a mystery afoot.
And here we are, again and again
Here https://vgmdb.net/album/33533 the performer for Makou's version is listed as "Vocal Forge". If you Google it, you get this https://zero-g.co.uk/products/vocal-forge which we can safely assume is the source of the vocals.
Once again I'm back to this rabbit hole, which is trying to find more information about the original band/singer, but after that MAXUME interview there's nothing as relevant about this song's origins, unfortunately the song is really lost...
maybe... what if someone buys the voice pack to confirm if the song exists?
It's nearly 4 am in the morning, and I've been scouring for an hour, desperately trying to find a song that was stored in my LG Lollipop. After finally discovering the song title and stumbling upon a 2009 post, I find no sign of the complete track or any information about the artist behind it. Will I ever get the chance to hear the full version?
Sigh… guess we’ll never know k garnu
Lol
Lo and behold. A 3:51 minute version of this song is uploaded by someone on youtube. Here's the link
https://youtu.be/8AakwK9CLtQ?si=cbBv1vDDwDCplcoV
I can't say anything about it's authenticity, could very well be AI.
2025 and nothing
about that, i make a lot of songs with AI, and yes, i'm sure this was probably done in suno AI, but either way it's the only full song based on LG's
I could ask a YouTuber to solve this mystery, but I don't think even he could solve it...
