@bryyodt Thanks for the lives, I updated the links ! I haven't check a lot their Vimeo page, so I don't saw that they were posting live footages.
 
I agree with the CD-R's, from what I search, it looks like Too Late Appearance is available for Spotify but only for Japan (https://open.spotify.com/album/09CLzyhPRYXX1q7THXEvKB)
And since they distribute Milk Sessions during the live, we can only hope that someone at Klan Aileen's concert hear our wish. Even more complicated for Live at Milkyway since there must be no available copy. I just hope they release Live release from the Milk Tour.
 
 

I couldn't agree more with the fact that Milk gives a different perspective with each listen. At first I thought it was okay, then after a few days it started growing on me and that's basically because of the very dense and experimental direction that they took on the album. It's kind of a test of patience in a way.
 
Here's some more material available on Vimeo:
Sleep In A Bright Room (Live)
Nightseeing (Live)
Adrift (Live)
Random soundcheck from the same live show
 
Would be nice of someone shares their early CD-R's, since they're impossible to find nowadays. Also I'm looking for the Live at the Milkway concert and Milk Sessions, which are also very hard to find
 

Well, I had to make this page, it's the 150th time I've been listening to Milk, and it's a different trip every time I listen to it. A trip between relaxation, annihilation and nil. So I think they deserve a page.
 

 
Klan Aileen is a psychedelic rock band founded on August 2007 in Kagoshima by Ryo Matsuyama. Originally a trio that consisted of Ryo Matsuyama (vocals/guitar), Takahiro Takeyama (bass) and Sayata Orita (drums), with this formation, the band began to perform in the region and took the opportunity to distribute CD-R during their live show: Too Late Appearance in April 2008, Changing Diaper Is Not For Tomorrow's Lunch in January 2009 and Astroride in October 2010. After the release of Astroride, the band moves to Tokyo and at the same time Takahiro leaves the band. He is replaced at short notice by a new bassist Daiki Ito. And Klan Aileen begins a new musical life in Tokyo. But in late 2011, Sayata and Daiki leave the band, leaving Ryo alone. And it's the return of Takahiro, now in drums, that will revive the band. In 2012, the label youth records contacted Klan Aileen to re-release the album Astroride. And from that moment, the two men continues the lives and releases the albums Klan Aileen in 2016 and Milk in 2018.
Like their line-up, the music style of the band has changed a lot over time. From a very garage start, the sound of the band has swallowed several styles such as noise rock, post-punk, krautrock and even a bit of post-rock in their latest album to release it in a psychedelic mixture that can be loud and calm.

Well, I made this page to make a maximum of people discover Klan Aileen or talk with people who like the band, so thanks for reading!

I remember discovering this band back in 2013 by searching japanese post-punk bands from the 80's and early 90's. Really got me interested when I listened to their debut album from 1985 for the first time, I loved the very catchy new wavy feel to it. As the discography progresses, they started to get a more matured sound and definitely some more ambitious song-writing and production. Unfortunately, like every band in this style, it's hard to keep up and be consistent with every release, and they were no exception in my opinion. Their 90's stuff were a drop in quality in terms of sound and composition, at least that's what I remember so far about their albums like Pop Mania.
 
My favorite albums by them are Garden and Der Zibet. And one of my top favorite songs is "Blue Film", I get quite emotional every time I listen to it. Issay vocals really were something else back then.

I notice there is no dedicated thread for Der Zibet (if there already is one that I've missed, I apologise, and please delete this one). They're contemporaries and frequent associates of Buck-Tick, with Atsushi guesting on DZ tracks and DZ singer Issay providing backing vocals on BT's Six/Nine album. Although they're essentially a fusion of fock and post-punk and goth, they've released some first-rate albums, particularly during the early years of their career. I haven't been quite so impressed with their later period albums, but they remain one of my favourte Japanese bands. I'd love to hear from other fans and swap details of favourite songs and finest moments. Thanks for your time!

None of the bands are covering Sabbath, so I'm gonna rampage and riot in the streets. Also, disappointed that Sink is appearing on this release. But I'm cool with a crowd of rebellion covering 梟 (can't wait to hear their vocalist actually sing in actual Japanese), THE NOVEMBERS covering Andrometamorphosis, and Plastic Tree themselves re-recording ZERO. 

of the bands i actually know,  i feel like The Novembers' track, People in the Box's track & Pelican Fanclub's one are like the only ones that have the potential of being actually good cuz the sounds are more compatible w/ Pura's sound... Still looking forward to the abortions LMC & R-Shitei will produce tho

Just like doing a research based on tanuki as a trustworthy source????

Ok, but ????????????
I thought it was going to be something serious when I read "unmasking" tbh, lmao.

L o o s e   B o i

I don't see a problem with this at all. If everyone involved is okay with it and they've improved the song, changed the way they perform it, or just have access to better recording, then why not? The fans that followed them over from their previous bands probably appreciate it, too. 

Breaking news, lol. Delete the thread ffs.

Good list! Definitely my favorite is Pink Snow and Shutter.

Top 10 - Song Edition
If you're new to an artist, you might want some recommendations before you dive into their whole discography, and what better way to help you out on that than to present to you a handful of favourite songs from across a band/artist's whole work? You might be wanting a heads up, especially those with a hefty discography, or just a starting point to lead you to the best spot and work your way down from there. Whatever the case, here's a personal list of my favourites by Gothic rockers PLASTICZOOMS.
 
This list is ranked, so the numbers are meant as a specific order in this case. I hope this proves to be helpful for any members who are interested in trying them out, or even encourage other fans to make their own lists in response on whatever PLASTICZOOMS related they might want to also do.
PLASTICZOOMS
Vocalist Sho Asakawa, guitarist Taiyo Ikeda, bassist Jun Yokoe, drummer Yuta Kurata, and keyboardist Shinpei Morishige make up the band. Their style can be described as alternative, shoegaze rock, but they touch upon many different sounds with each release ranging from post punk to electronic. They also have just as much of a focus on their appearance as they do sound. They're well known for their Gothic appearance, and are more popular overseas than in Japan due to this and their almost Visual Kei-esque attire. They have even collaborated with fashion label Discovered, had a photo shoot exhibited by professional photographer Nao Takeda, and appeared in "The Reality Show", a magazine where they worked with photographer Nobuyoshi Akari and designer Jill Sander. Sho himself has a brand called Venus Eccentric and is a DJ. PLASTICZOOMS are a very active band that are constantly evolving as musicians. In an interview, Sho has even compared the band to a chameleon in that they change "color from time to time" with each release. While this is certainly true, as evident with their first album (Charm) being especially punk influenced while their second (Starbow) has more of a pop sound, they continue to get better and better in my eyes. 
 

10. SWAN
 
9. SAVAGE
 
8. THE MORNING SUN
 
7. Witch
 
6. WOODS UNDER THE MOOD IN THE LOOP
 
5. P A R A D E
 
4. ILLUMINATION
 
3. PINK SNOW
 
2. Cry. Distance.
 
 
1. Sleepwalker
 
 
It was difficult just picking out ten PLASTICZOOMS tracks, who admittedly don't have that big of a discography compared to most, but even so there were two specific songs that unfortunately couldn't make it in that still deserves mentions.
"MONOCHROME" really can be the only reason you need to check out their second album CRITICAL FACTOR just because of how perfect it is of an opening to the release. The messy yet grungy execution and overall dark sound makes this one an instantly repeatable tune all on its own."The Shadow" is a fine example of how the band used to sound early one, and easily my firm favourite from their early discography. It's a hauntingly beautiful yet quite simple post-rock tune compared to their recent output.
 
So, do we have any other PLASTICZOOMS lovers in the house? Anything you'd like to add, or change, or comment on? Give us your thoughts below! Also feel free to suggest other artists you might want to see be ranked like so: song wise, release wise, PV wise, you name it! I hope you enjoyed!
