Some select songs by lynch. and the GazettE, mostly more recent stuff - "EVOKE" and "DERACINE" respectively are good ones for me lately. I probably listen to these bands more when I'm exercising than I do at other times. Most of ling tosite sigure's upbeat tracks work really well for me as well, especially songs from later in their career where the production is much better, and much more effective. Other than that, the J-rock songs on my workout playlist are mostly just random, "intense" songs from a variety of other bands. ATATA's "General Headquarters", Boris' "Vanilla", girugamesh's "gravitation', Psysalia Psysalis Psyche's "SUBWAY KILLER" to name a few. I'm not too picky as long as the energy is good.

kaname seems to have composed a lot of their stuff! i.e. from mouth, bright or blind, this cloudy, and feel me. If you google "kaname songs" you'll find a way more complete list.

^ I can't really agree with you there, girugamesh had a very distinct and coherent style during their indie era. I'm pretty surprised lynch. is actually performing better commercially than giru ever did with all their tryhard normie crowd pandering by the time MUSIC arrived (top 15 oricon albums for lynch vs. average top 40 for giru, and lynch sales are actually growing, as opposed to.)

Anyone else disappointed with CL's US debut? Beat is pretty good, but the chorus kills me

Since AvelCain will be officially disbanding very soon I decided that I'd translate some of their lyrics. As far as I know, the fuckyeahavelcain on tumblr are the only ones who have translated their lyrics so far. And if I'm gonna be honest, they're not exactly the best... Therefore, I bring you my own translations! Can't say that I'm that great at translating lyrics either, but I try to be faithful during my translations~ I will update this thread each time I translate more songs. So far I have translated three: 囁/Sasayaki 自責/Jiseki 籠目歌ノ呪縛/Kagomeuta no jubaku ---------------- Quick links 蛇と姑獲鳥/Hebi to Ubume (The Snake and Ubume) [2013.02.20] 1. 蜷局/Toguro (Coil) 2. 蛇と姑獲鳥/Hebi to Ubume 3. 懺悔、寡黙ナル君ニ。/Zange, kamoku naru kimi ni 4. 籠目歌ノ呪縛/Kagomeuta no jubaku (see above) 自責の筵-じせきのむしろ-/Jiseki no mushiro (Seat of Self-Condemnation) [2013.09.04] 1. 囁/Sasayaki (see above) 2. 自責/Jiseki (see above) 3. 手首の切り方/Tekubi no kirikata 4. 赫い部屋/Akai heya 5. 揺り籠/Yurikago 6.DEVIL'S＋SANCTUARY (2nd press, 2013.09.15) 6. 狐狗狸/Kokkuri (3rd press, 2013.12.26) 7. 花一匁/Hana ichimonme (4th press 2014.7.11) AvelCain-アベルカイン- [2014.04.02] 1. 贖罪/Shokuzai (Atonement) 2. 彩虜-あやとり-/Ayatori 3.

Não vá, Hakoniwa. Fica, vai ter bolo.

fredeslay blessing us with 2 releases this year!!

I suspect this depends on the contract the band signs. If they negotiated a good deal, they should continue to get royalties from CD sales (though this is probably a very small percentage). Otherwise, all of the money goes to the record label.. (that's just my theory, based on things i've heard about western entertainment industries. i have zero actual knowledge of how it works in japan..)

Sexy!

Actually caught the show for once! I guess it pays off to be on a terrible sleeping schedule sometimes

Basically what you'll want to do is add each of the items to your cart and then once you're ready to order, click "Checkout" on the top-right. Enter all of the information that it asks for (until the end of the month we're running a 10% off sale, so you can put MOVE10 in the "Coupon Code" field). After you've entered that stuff, select your shipping method, which you'll see next to the shipping price, then click the "Review Order" button. If everything here looks right then click the "Submit Order" button which will bring you to PayPal. Once you're at PayPal, you'll have the option to either log into your PayPal account if you have one or pay directly with a credit card or debit card. Once you've entered your info and paid, then that's all you need to do! You'll get an email updating you with the tracking number for your package once it's ready to be sent out. If you've got any additional questions or issues then feel free to PM either myself or @Valiciousand one of us will get back with you as soon as we can!

Yaaaas. Love the Hasami Lyrics. Thanks so much >3<

*emerge* Na real, não importa se vão descobrir ele ou não... o motivo de ele ser banido foi fazer o que fez, não por ele ser quem é. Se "outra pessoa" fizer essas coisas, naturalmente vão levar o combinho warn+ban, ou logo um ban direto por causa da possibilidade quase óbvia de ser ele. Mas né, essa coisa toda é bem pointless mesmo... é só um fórum, gente. E isso parte de alguém que leva essas coisas mais a sério do que deveria. Mas de qualquer forma, membros absolutamente não deviam ter o poder de mudar coisas assim. Não faz sentido. Quando minha vida voltar ao rítimo normal, vou tentar dar uma ajudada nas news também! Apesar que devo priorizar outro, entre os fóruns em inglês. Mas isso não impede que eu traga pra cá também. Sei lá. :'D *submerge novamente*

I dug it! I like how different it was for your standard cosplay video - more of an experience video and I really liked the vibe...though you should have gotten a shot of a certain panel (I also spotted a couple of friends in your Acen part)

Awesome! Glad to have you here

this is #1 reason why i still choose bands that i choose to listen -- it's their consistency (it's like classic cliche of choosing prius over a jag -- it's their reliability despite the 'meh-ness'). despite how "too consistent" lynch is, id still rather choose them than giving bets on bands that are way too experimental , almost too experimental that it's kinda painful to watch their flimsy fate that'll eventually go to destruction. but as a personal wish, i hope consistent and stable bands -- such as lynch, would at least experiment and play a little for at least of couple tracks in an album (2-3 experimental "holy-shit" tracks wont hurt the whole album) but all in all, i still look forward to lynch, and all the rest of the "consistent" bands.

Not as into it as i was before but its so nice 2 come across killer bands from time to time. Been bumping Awoi A LOT this summer.

Album covers:

all of the above...yes art kei is SAVED...i am gagged...native appropriation but still slaying....AMEN. also kaname has amazing taste so i hope the rest of the lineup is as talented as kaname...that said he's on vox so im... double gagged

thank u 4 making cultural appropriation-kei a thing, Kaname 👍🏽

gurl I see you

omg yes ! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice pale colors in the first one~! the preview of the battle system looks interesting so far. it's really cool that you're thinking about working more seriously with your video game project. it'd be great to see more in the future. keep it up! ^^

i've slowed down quite a bit, but i'm back and finished up @AliceParanoid's request~ 月蝕/Gesshoku 鋏/Hasami

Lol why is nobody complaining about Buck-Tick recording same shit over and over? Personally I don't think the music is bad, I just kinda lost interest I guess.

does the japanese woman come with the snorlax?

look at these fools blocking traffic trying to "catch" a "Snorlax" in their virtual game when they could spend $500+ and get a REAL Snorlax. (http://www.japanrealm.com/japan-struggling-giant-snorlax-cushions/)

Yooooo! Kickstarter to reality! Hotline Miami Soundtrack pressed on vinyl by Laced Records.

New Photoshoot

Yoshiki is going to dig poor Hide out one more time, nice. Looks like a necrophilia.

Really glad that you guys are enjoying these! Thanks for the comments~ In just a day or two, AvelCain will disband very shortly. Still, I'll continue to go through the rest of their discography. ^^ new: 蘇-よみがえり-/Yomigaeri 彩虜-あやとり-/Ayatori PSYCHO-サイコ- Also, here's the interview I read where karma mentions how most of his lyrics are written in the girl's perspective, but not all. The link was also posted somewhere in the AvelCain thread sometime before.
