ftw. Admittedly, some songs don't need it. It just ruins it. But more so than that, I love it and it makes the music even more enjoyable to me. God bless who thought up this poll. Hurrah for autotune~

It was only a matter of time that something like this were to happen I guess. I'd rather they try not to expand it and keep it as is, completely free with no catches unlike most sites that have 'subscription' choices. It just won't be YouTube anymore. ;; That's probably just my problem, lol. Guess I'll just have to wait and see to check out how it'll come into play. Thanks to @yakihiko and @Zeus for this!

Have you ever heard a pair of compatible voices before? Yes? Well get match making then! Complementary voices can be marrying off vocalist's voices with one another. Which voices do you think compliment each other perfectly and should be married off? Whose voices do you think should put 'a ring on it'? My first pick is Takanori Nishikawa x Kishou Taniyama. Taka is the vocalist of T.M.Revolution and band Abingdon Boys School. Tani is the vocalist of the duo unit GRANRODEO. Both have distinguishable voices, as well as very obvious and strong vibratos. Both guys are well known for their rocking anime tunes. It makes the perfect match for my ears. Want some more evidence? For your pleasure: So, have you got any pairs you like the sound of being vocally matched together?

Happy birthday @Disposable!

Adore everything about the PV and song.

wow... : < R.I.P.

Will keep an eye on this topic since I enjoyed their last single. Thanks for posting.

Almost missed this news! (Thanks for your status). Will be sure to give it a listen.

YASSSSSSS!!! Been waiting for a new album from them for too long now. ;w;

Would have agreed if that latest release never happened. Found the album really solid with plenty of awesome tunes. About MEJIBRAY, they have their ups and downs like most bands really, but they certainly don't deserve the hate they get. Come to think of it, I think the obsessiveness in both hate and love for them is startling, there seems to be no in between. They're a good band, and they do good as musicians, and do good for their fans. Actually, I'm so glad they do stand out of the scene, and I think that's obvious as there's literally always someone talking about them, so good on them. On Kamijo, I'm sure it's clear how much of a significant figure he is in VK, so the recognision is muchly deserved. I know the purpose of this is unpopular opinions but I wanted to put some nice words out on said recent artists. >.> Yes, I'm a sissy.

Aww yeah! Congrats to her.

Rating: | Hey, I can dig this! I'll come clean right now and say that I've never been able to appreciate D. I have listened to both VAMPIRE SAGA and Genetic World out of curiosity after noticing their popularity a while back but neither left an impression on me. As of 2015, their latest look sparked my interest for the second time. The Alice in Wonderland influenced attire went down well in my eyes because it meant a change not just in appearance, but sound too. I saw a chance and I took it. It's a welcome change for those, such as myself, who couldn't quite get into them before. The concept of the single is just the tip of the iceberg. With four out of nine of the tracks being instrumental (all types-wise), I don't find the music as noteworthy when stripped of Asagi apart from the very cool and neat parts of riffs, especially in the title track. What it does manage to do without much effort is show off this fantasy-like world they're conveying, and that's evident throughout, so kudos to the guys for keeping this concept running strong. "HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY" and "Funny Bunny!" are definitely deserving of the top spot on the single in every way. The choruses are fun, catchy, and most importantly, have replay value. They're two sides of the same coin: "Funny Bunny" has its hyperactive, SuG-like chorus while also filled with growls and aggressive, heavy playing from the whole band. It's a perfect mix. "HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY" oozes with goodness from start to end, sounding very much like disbanded Oshare Kei groups. Its flow is far more steady than the title track, and plays almost like an anime theme song because of its structure and sound. Asagi's vocals in "レピドプテラ (Lepidoptera)" are deeper here than anywhere else in the single. This really goes well with its opening sound that encourages Halloween-y imagery. The chorus has a very charming pitch. It's not as sugar coated as the previous two tracks, but the playful beat is still rather Oshare Kei sounding. The verses make the track seem to have a climactic build, almost like it's been ripped out from Disney's Notre Dame's finale. It sounds quite mismatched, starting out with spooky atmosphere that jumps suddenly to a poppier chorus. While at times it may come off as jumbled, at least it doesn't stay in one lane like "兎角國の蟹 (Tokakukuni no Kani)". If "レピドプテラ (Lepidoptera)" didn't have any of its charms I pointed out above, then it'd sound like "兎角國の蟹 (Tokakukuni no Kani)". The only welcome inclusion the track has is Asagi's high pitched vocals that I was missing. Track nine was the only song I was worried about, seeing as it's titled as a remix: "HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY (Wonderland Remix Ver.)", but even that isn't as diabolical as I was expecting. The chorus is actually double the fun from the original! You're winning me over, D. Possibly the one most obvious catch with this sound change is the lack of Asagi showing off. From what I've heard of D, his vibrato, growls and high pitched vocals are almost non-existent in this single, apart from certain sections in only two tracks. You have the operatic appeal with background group vocals here and there, so it's still D but just coated with Tinkerbell's fairy dust. While the majority may not be fond of this latest addition to their discography, think of those like myself who could never get into their music because it didn't do it for us. Now with a change of pace, this is the starting point, for myself and possibly others to finally enjoying the band. What doesn't do it for one person can be a blessing for another, and I believe this single is a fine example of this. Support the band! CDJapan Japanese iTunes

Also remember to use the 'Image' button above a post instead of using attachements. It's the 11th button from the left in between 'Unlink' and 'Code'. If you did insert the picture by attaching it to the post, I think that's why it's smaller than it should be, so hopefully this is helpful. That seems to help me out, but I am probably wrong. x'D

Ah, nice!

Ohhhhh, 'new album'!! Pumped! Being entitled "LAST MOON" is more than depressing though. ;;

Happy birthday, @eiheartx. <3 Bless you so much, have a wonderful day. And a happy birthday to @Bunny too. Enjoy~

Very much this. Especially the bolded.

I'm also dyslexic (funny that it's such an awkward word to spell itself xD). My handwriting is really embarrassing, but I guess it can be quite humorous that it can pass as a doctor's typical writing, aha. It's improved over the years since I used to study hard in my English classes as a child, so it's not too obvious I'm dyslexic unless you see my handwriting.
