I have, but not recently. I gave up years ago to be honest. Pretty much no one has it because Crazy Shampoo had almost no fans back then and of those few who might have it I'm sure still have it or sold it while they were still active or around the time of their disbandment. Same goes for 抜刀.

In 2014 Crazy Shampoo did a series of five onemans over the span of five months and distributed a free CD at each of them. Dance, Testament, and Regulation were 3/5 of those free distributes. The other two were パナシェ and 真昼の兵隊. None of them saw a proper release because their label dropped them, forcing them to disband at the last of those five onemans. As @Shmillymentioned previously, they also had two free distributes at their onemans at Rokumeikan in September 2012: ゲルニカ and 抜刀. ゲルニカ is the song they play at 7:14 here 抜刀 is the first song here Unfortunately, I don't know a single person who has either CD and I saw Crazy Shampoo for the first time a month after those onemans so I never got my hands on them. ゲルニカ is my favorite Crazy Shampoo song so I'm pretty disappointed I've never seen it show up in Closet Child/Puresound/various auction sites in the past 5 years. However, I am grateful that it still exists on YouTube and on their live DVDs. They had a couple other songs they often played but I don't believe ever got recorded (ニトロポリタン, パニッシュ！！, ActresS, グルコサミン). To my knowledge the only free distribute that ended up on an official release is アンブレラ.

I have typed up all of their lyrics except the songs on the newest release here as well as all the lyrics for Hakujitsu's and Kurohime's songs. [Please do not repost them] I'm not sure when I'll have time but I do intend on typing up the new songs as well. You got a some of it right just by listening though. Here are the correct lyrics 「刺激が欲しいの♡」 可愛くハートなんかつけやがって ウケはいいみたいけど なんかこう　私には出来ない あぁ　そうです… ノリにあわせて　笑ってるだけ ほっぺた痛い …めんどくさい 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい… どうしてこんな癖がついたの 心の底から笑ってない 「笑顔が好き」！？ふざけないで 知ったような口聞かないで 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい キミは暗く見えるから 笑った方がいいよなんて 言われれば言われる程 なんかこう　出来なくなって あぁ　そうです… わかっているの こんな自分も　よくないってこと …めんどくさい 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい… 子供の頃は素直でいれた 最近まともに笑ってない 楽しそうな周りの声 だけどなんだか入っていけない 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい… 「笑顔が好き」！？ふざけないで 知ったような口聞かないで 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい… 子供の頃は素直でいれた 最近まともに笑ってない 楽しそうな周りの声 だけどなんだか入っていけない 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい ！ あー、めんどくさい。

That seems to be the case. I haven't followed Meji in like 4 years but my friends who still do told me their management pulled the plug on everything without any warning, most likely due to declining ticket/CD sales. Of course I can't tell you if that's actually the case but given their recent behavior I do think that's the reason. I could be totally wrong though. That's just what I heard from friends when the hiatus was first announced. I haven't asked for follow up info cause I don't really care but regardless if that really is what happened I feel bad for them. Their manager is an asshole so I wouldn't put it past him.

Yes they did. That's why they changed their name. They still sometimes play with vk bands though.

An started as support right after Roji's last live, so after August 11th. And yeah that was him at the twoman with Kizu earlier this month. I'll give him credit, he improved quite a bit from their threeman with Scapegoat and sibilebashir just 10 days before that. At that live he messed up significantly during every single song they played. He fucked up so badly during Komoriuta they had to back track a bit and start again. At the Kizu twoman he fucked up Komoriuta again and his drumming was off during like half of kamisori but other than that I thought he was ok for the most part......but they simplified every song for him and as a Roji fan that makes me sad. Roji's drumming was a big reason why I like XAA-XAA. Anyway, although he has shown signs of improvement, I was kinda hoping that An was temporary until they found someone better. I'm also feeling pretty pessimistic about their future. They've been slowly waning for a long time now (since around last December) and Roji's departure made them lose a lot of fans. An is not very well liked among the fans who still go so I'm sure with him formally joining the band they're only going to lose even more fans.

@MihiHalf of their songs have pinky furi which is a lot of fun. I can try to explain it for you. You can see the furi for Uso Kiss here (3:54 if the video doesn't start at that point) Right hand pinky out (U), left hand pinky out (SO), cross your pinkies (KI) then bring them forward (SU) Egao deirutte mendokusai's pinky furi is my favorite. You put your right pinky to your right cheek (egao), then your left pinky to your left cheek (deirutte), then cross your hands and tap your wrists twice (mendoku) and spread them out (sai). For Chuushitai, you bring your right pinky towards your lips then move your hand towards the right (chuushite), then have your hands face each other and have them move in a frontwards circular motion (onegai), and move your hands up and spread them apart (oh yeah). Kimi izon tattoo's is more simple. During the "anata ni totte no watashitte ittai nani?" part you turn to the right holding your right pinky out and jump with the beat, then you clap and quickly turn to the left and jump with your left pinky out "anata ni totte no watashitte ittai nani?". You clap then turn back to the right again "ahhh sono bashinogi aaaah gotsugou shuugi", then clap and turn back to the left "sonna koto nai yo, kakimidasanaide". I can definitely get you cheki! With the strict 2 copy per live limit on CD's it might take me a while to buy them for you guys, unfortunately. I don't know if I'm allowed to go through the line again and buy more but I can ask Aya or Yoshi when I see them next Sunday. Cheki however has no limit so that's not an issue.👍 I can't guarantee who you get but I can try trading with the other fans if you want a certain member.

Thanks for the compliment! And thanks everyone for the reactions. I haven't written that many live reports since last summer so it's nice to know that people read and enjoyed what I posted. I'll definitely post more when I have the time. Today a friend of mine brought to my attention that since the guys don't have their own Twitters anymore overseas fans don't really get to see many pictures of them outside of live photos and the pictures Hoshiko posts on Twitter so I'm gonna share some of my cheki with you guys. I only have cheki of Saki in the new set of costumes so far but I have cheki of all of the guys in the old costumes. Please don't repost them on Tumblr/etc. or I won't post any more in the future.

How has no one mentioned Kou from Shounenki??????

I couldn't agree more. He's too damn talented.

Roji will leave XAA-XAA and possibly retire from musical activities after XAA-XAA's free oneman celebrating his birthday on 8/11. XAA-XAA will continue activities without pause with a support drummer.

I went to their show at Shinyokohama NEW SIDE BEACH!! yesterday. I’ve written a short report for you guys while it’s still fresh in my mind. I also have a couple more drafted: 7/16, 6/25, 6/11, 3/30, 2/5 (the Tokyo oneman). I’ve been pretty busy recently so I’m not sure when I’ll get around to posting those though. Sorry for keeping you guys hanging. Also, an update re: my shopping service for the upcoming release: unfortunately, there’s a limit as to how many CDs I can buy at one live. I can only buy two of each CD, so the next time I go (8/20) I can only get one copy of Namae ga nai for myself, one for one of you guys, and two of the compilation CD for you guys unless I can get one of my friends to help out. If not, I’m seeing them again 8/29 and can get two more copies then. I’ll keep you guys updated.

Posting in this thread just to say how much I hate Gosan's vocalist. I saw them last July at a taiban at Ikebukuro Edge and despite that I was standing in the back with my back against the wall, he made his way towards me, grabbed me, and shoved me forward because I wasn't doing the furi for his shitty band. Plenty of people in front of and next to me weren't doing furi either but he fucking targeted me because I'm a foreigner and stick out from the rest of the crowd. He fucked off for a bit and came back, put his hands on me, and tried to force me to oritatami but I told him to go die and he finally understood that I want none of that shit. Since then whenever my bands play with Gosan I chill in the hallway (and so do a bunch of Japanese bangya. Dude is infamous in the scene) How they got so many fans in the past year is beyond me but a friend of mine who went to an instore a while back says their eigyou game is next level so that's probably why.

Actually it was their fifth oneman but third "official" oneman. They had an "extra" oneman for Zyean and Ricko's birthday in January and another in April for Boogie's birthday, and next month they're having another for Sena's birthday, so the "fourth" one-man will actually be their seventh. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to this. Tonight was fucking lit.

If it was you who approached me at that Jiluka taiban with Aiolin and VRZEL and again at the Jiluka/Fixer twoman then yup that's me. Indies vk is a small world. It looks like I have 3, possibly 4 people interested in a shopping service so far so I'll let you guys know of the details once I work everything out 👍 I'm not going to the oneman so the earliest I can pick up 名前が無い is 3 days after the release on 8/20.

Do you mean me lmfao. They've been doing quite well recently, not just in Kansai but Kanto as well, especially in the past 2 or 3 months. In April they started going down into the crowd and stamping people with hanko during kimi, izon, tattoo and it's become a huge hit even among bangya who aren't fans of the band. There's always a big rush of people who run in just for it. Btw, the second song they're playing in the video @Mihiposted is ちゅーしたい which will be on the new release coming out next month. If there's enough interest I may consider doing a shopping service for it as well as the 500 yen 入門盤 CD and cheki. Also I completely forgot I posted here a few months ago saying I'd share live reports and dumb stories so I'll do that within the next couple of days.

As of yesterday, Amai Bouryoku has released a compilation CD of all their songs (minus 嘘キス) entitled 入門盤 (nyuumonban) ("introductory disk"). Includes 6 previously released songs along with 1 new track for only 500 yen. Tracklist: 1. 溺愛シット (dekiai shitto) 2. 本能 (honnou) 3. 君、依存、タトゥー (kimi, izon, tattoo) 4. 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい (egaodeirutte mendokusai) 5. 聞いてもないし、求めてもないのに (kiitemonaishi, motometemonainoni) [*live recording, call and response] 6. ファッションメンヘラ (fashion menhera) 7. 夜乙女 (yoru otome) Unfortunately this CD does not come with a lyrics booklet (probably why it's so cheap)

Amai Bouryoku will release their live-limited EP 名前が無い(namae ga nai) on August 17th. Track list: 1.名前が無い (namae ga nai) 2.都合のいい女 (tsugou no ii onna) 3.ちゅーしたい (chuushitai) 4.調教してください (choukyoushite kudasai)

I typed them up quickly for you. There might be some errors but I can fix them later. Enjoy Sena's English You live with sadistic grace Give it back Silent people This grace This wall This violation You get fear of destruction Wake up people Start in the relying for me OTHERSIDE: Break it now for the outside OTHERSIDE: This wall you must keep OTHERSIDE: This violation OTHERSIDE: Save it right along OTHERSIDE: You let me be all alone OTHERSIDE: Stay in the denying for it Now slave This goes in FATE "Wake up" Rusty fate Take on me Final sick nightmare what is the stay in me So I'm feeling a fading day anymore Cry and scream my name You blame on faith and me So I'm feeling.... I want to say I can breathe Final sick nightmare it's Omelas Sick If I could rise Drain the sadness Devil's sin Fade into... Know what I say Fxxk Fate's gone All is wrong Blame yourself What you've done make the madness Fear yourself You've done it like that You'd better just do what I say Cause I know all is wrong OTHERSIDE: Break it now for the outside OTHERSIDE: This wall you must keep OTHERSIDE: This violation OTHERSIDE: Save it right along OTHERSIDE: You let me be all alone OTHERSIDE: Stay in the denying for it It's time to fright Know what I keep is lost Why... Now call... Stay alive or break now This dawn For God's sake, tell me why, call my name Know what you've done That what you leave It's the final stage But you are still wrong What is the luck What is the ideal What I seek is sacrifice This goes in FATE "Wake up" Rusty fate Final sick nightmare what is the stay in me now You'll keep on faith Let me know where to go It's.... Final sick nightmare what is the stay in me So I'm feeling a fading day anymore Cry and scream my name You blame on faith and me So I'm feeling.... I want to say I can breathe Final sick nightmare it's Omelas

The song is about the short story.

Little hearts and Jishuban sold copies early to those who participated in their instore events yesterday. I was a little shocked when they announced it a few days ago cause I've never gotten a new release this early before. Flying get (obtaining the CD before the official release date) is a pretty normal thing in Japan but it's usually just 1 or 2 days before, not 11 days before. I'm sorry I can't upload it, but I can tell you now it's well worth the wait. Definitely a strong contender for release of the year. All the tracks are top notch but Bloodshot is probably my favorite since it's a drinking song. lol The opening for Omelas is also pretty nuts
