He should just screenshot the poll an' use that as an avatar. It'll be good for a chuckle.

I haven't got too many bands in my library, so lemme' go check for fems. Akai Tsuki. Asobi Seksu. Changin' My Life. The Cranberries. Kanon Wakeshima. Konomi Suzuki. LUI FRONTiC 赤羽 JAPAN. Maon Kurosaki. Mashiro Ayano. myco. Sayaka Sasaki. Shakira. Uehara Hiromi. Saishuu Mirai Heiki Mofu. Utada Hikaru. Wagakki Band. Yuuka Ueno. Leo Ieiri. Shishido Kavka. And that's it. Seeing Shakira amongst so many Japanese names always makes me chuckle.

Wasn't XodiacK a part of Starwave? Their fate along with Luzmelt's probably has me bitter towards the label. Plus Kiwamu's rumor-mill doesn't paint a favourable image either. Hopefully they luck out.

Yeah, but did you know that my dad works at Nintendo? Congratulations, now tone down your damn ego. You're like a petulant kid bragging on the playground during recess.

Most of the bands you guys like and that come through these boards are fucking terrible, let people enjoy what they want.

I know it's horrible, but the thought that popped into my head was that the members list would be more like this. Members: <insert name here> - Ouiji Board. I'll let myself out.

Didn't XodiacK go through that? The whole, all members 'cept Eros leaving and he brought in a couple others to release a couple more singles?

Oh hey, Bleeding Cowboys. How completely original.

Hm, full releases only? Damn, well, stuff I've tried and can remember~ lynch.'s new album has some interesting notes but it's not fully engrossed me, but it's got me wanting to listen to it at least. COME AGAIN by Shonan No Kaze has definitely become one of my routine additions for playlists. ALXD by Alexandros has some keepers that made me keep the album 'round but it's not a whole package I'd write home about. I really fell into Gackt's GACKTRACKS and listened to it for what seemed like ages but it's slowly slipped down to "Won't skip but won't seek out" status on my mp3 player. Miyavi's the Others is more the same, in that it was something I really enjoyed wrapping myself in but started to become nothing more than drown-out noise. It's a compilation of sorts, but Man With A Mission's 5years5wolves5souls does not disappoint, bringing back the best of the catalogue for another listen. One Ok Rock's 35XXXV was overall a miss for me, but there's been a couple of tracks that have stuck around and are a welcome joy when they come on shuffle. As for not JP stuff, Blue Stahli's the Devil has worked it's way into my favourites, along with labelmate's End of an Empire, by Celldweller. Granted it's only the last two 'parts' that were in 2015, but I feel that aside from part 1, the latter half is definitely where it's at. Voicians also released part 1 of his self-titled, hoping more comes in before the year's out. Other than that, it's just one off singles or good ole' oldies. Writing it all down really brings to point just how much my iPod additions this year is mostly just stuff from the 90s and before.

Ooooh, looks like Returner. Colour me curious.

Remember, what may sound lame to us 'cause we talk English might be more of a "foreign word sounds cool" to someone from Japan. Rule of cool, guys, rule of cool.

Thought "Fake & For Fun" was the band name. I'm not a smart person.

Is that 10th of the 7th, or 7th of the 10th? I'm never sure when reading dates on the internet, American's having theirs ordered differently an' all.

Too much Shonan no Kaze, way too much. Loving every minute of it though.

Here's to hoping he sounds better than he did in most of Velbet. Though after hearing Jin's new band after Nega disbanded, I've lost hope in Visual vocalists actually trying to better their craft.

I'm not the most adept at being knowledgeable when it comes to the makings of music, I can't tell a riff riff from a woof woof and all the doofs sound doofy to me, so just as someone who listens to music because it makes my dick tingle, I'm saying that this is probably the only Miyavi album/single that I would not be ashamed if I had purchased it.

Forgot it was April 1st and spent five minutes just being absolutely confused.

Best in Slot based Idol band? Alrighty then.

Saw comments and went in expecting a XodiacK sounding song, I suppose it sort of comes across similar to Deprival and Naturally, but I always felt that the best of XodiacK was the Skyscraper Hypoxia single with both the stated track and Misty being two very different feeling songs but still being pretty true to the band. As much as I loved XodiacK more than Black Gene, I'm just not sure I'm gonna feel it here, it might just be that retarded charm that XodiacK had, 'Galaxy Metal' 'an all.

DEATHGAZE? Maybe. Sadie? Definitely not. But lynch.? They've been a quality band since the beginning, and judging from the previews they're actually redoing all of the songs on their anniversary album, so it's shaping up to be a solid release nonetheless.

To put it simply, in my opinion, the album feels less like a One Ok Rock album but more like another musician's album that One Ok Rock covered or played on.

"If they aren't caked up in make-up and prancing around like careless teenagers that all end up sounding the same then I don't even care, I want my Vishu Kei uguu."

What in the world...

It's now a waiting game to see whether this will top UNDIVIDE as "the best thing ex-Deluhi members have done to make up for Deluhi".

Didn't Leda go on to make/join Undivide? I'll take more of that than of Deluhi, Sujk or Blanche any day of the week, 100%.
