Lovely ender-chan had typed up the theme above on the updated list as: So I think any other Asian tracks are accepted. ^^

Oh hell yessssssssss.

It's fine discussing which one now. For those who don't come onto the thread before the usual time, we can tell them when others ask in the plug. 'Comedy' and 'International' were the top ones previously picked, and I think the latter was more popular if I'm thinking back correctly. Either way, I don't mind, so whichever others want I'm happy doing.

Hi there and welcome to MH! Awesome favourites, Plastic Tree and 9GOATS are two of my VK favs. You've got a really nice lot! I've sent you a friend request on Last.fm just so you know. And sorry if I'm not the best with recs (the one person I tried to recommend music to in the past turned down all of them x'D) but it'd be lovely just having you there. I hope to see you around and enjoy your time here at MH~

Happy birthday @jduv86!~ =D

Gotta love countdowns!

@Zeus As you know what I think of Wagakki Band (which I'll get back to you on your review about, thank you, sorry, ehehe ^^; ) I won't go on too much on this one but it's a VERY enjoyable single. I encourage others to give it/them a listen if they somehow haven't already. And that Lycaon track; magnificant. I totally agree with what you've said as you know on this one too! @fitear1590 For You is a hell of an amazing song! I had previously downloaded most of their stuff but this track takes the cake on what I've heard by them already! That Wakeshima track was the one I was going to do at first aha. Just perfect all round. I gotta listen to that NEGOTO album today. You sold it to me with that blurb and track sample. And that UNiTE. song is really great. As expected, woot woot. Totes agree on that OOR track. I've become even fonder of it over time thanks to you. The biggest thanks I want to give on this is to you for the theCharmPark one. I had no idea he was tied to Hemenway! I adore that band, dayum!! Awesome inclusion and find, (not exactly a find because it's all your doing!) I'm so happy to be listening to them. I realised you played these tracks in plug but I am obviously a lame plum at times. XD That Pentagon album is so much fun, brilliant choice on that one too. And finally, that Sayuu choice in which I've never seen before. Thank you once again for this one! I downloaded that album and am really looking forward to hearing it! Awesome writing and selections overall, a really great month for you it appears! ^o^ @CAT5 Anoice sounds really nice. I downloaded that album as soon as I saw it pop up because I knew you were looking forward to it so I was intrigued. Thanking you for reminding me about Jin-Machine and 疋田哲也+NIL in which I have also downloaded. sukekiyo and Sel'm were a great listen too, and a few I don't recognise like CARD sounds like a must listen! Also, thumbs up to what you did with the links in Jin-Machine. ;3 I didn't expect the Wakeshima album to be all round perfect to be quite honest. Since I wasn't enjoying her new approach as much as her debut style. As for DIV, have you got to hear the album fully now? It's pretty awesome thoughout, to me. @CAT5 said Chisa sounded like UVERworld's vocalist at times, would it be them you were thinking of too? If you didn't dig her first stuff, I really do encourage this sound instead then. I hope you can enjoy some of her works, I can't say anything bad about her really, aha. I think there's something anyone can like in her discography because of the various sounds she's done over time. I think only two or three sound really kawaii in that CICADA album but the girl's voice is just so adorable all the time so I hope they've done it for you this month! I am SO HAPPY to see a positive response to them! I played them in plug but I don't think many were impressed. ^^;; So yay~ I hope they release more music like this, it's so Kpop like, it's thrilling and such a nice change/approach. x'D Thank you very much for putting up your own picks! Great little read, highly appreciated. marionette, hella yes, of course! And that CAPSULE album, don't get me started. xD I liked a couple tracks and I think Dreamin' Boy was one of them but I do regret not including them in this to be honest, even if I disliked the album overall. That DIV song too, hell to the yes~ Sucha great album, I disliked none of the tracks but obviously a few stood out most. I can't believe she's releasing another album and so quickly after that other one already! Thank you for the fun fact, I do adore these very much! I am so excited to hear the rest of her upcoming works. <3 Glad you enjoyed Kage, I'm surprised I liked it as much as I did but yes, a band others better keep an eye on. I like how we like the opposite of Wakeshima's sound/style. But I do hope you liked this release or any of her upcoming works. She is such a star and angel. I think I was the only one in her shoutbox to shout anything good about that single, LOL. Even if it's not her best, it's still a well done and listenable single so I don't understand fans being hateful about it aha. ;3 I feel you indeed. The album packs way too much heaviness in it but that's not a bad thing. It's just much nicer to hear slower songs more often to me. Lycaon really did a perfect job on that one track! CICADA and daoko need more lovin'. u-u Even though is doing a great job on the latter lol. So, how'd you like the selections? : 3 I hope you enjoyed a few! Also, on Ringo too, her last album was perfect to me apart from that ONE electro track. xD That was so... so bad it's good, really aha. And this single just made my month, looking back. I listen to that the most out of everything and I can't see or hear why anyone would dislike it as much as users on Last.fm has expressed so much aha. Just stop comparing old with new and enjoy it, you know? xD Too eager? That's great to see, go ahead! I have (you guessed it xD) downloaded it and am looking foward to trying it just because it's Morrie. I bet I'll like tracks so much and get depressed I'm too late to include them. (This has already happened ;-; ) #QUICK RESPONSES BECAUSE MY PC IS ABOUT TO PACK IT IN AND I CAN WAFFLE~

@virtute, @COSMOMOBILE and lovely @Ada Suilen; happy birthday you guys! ;3

These. ^ And, dat title. I'm lovin' it. Starting to believe these guys make up the best track names (to me).

Will be in plug in 10 mins time. Earlier than usual but I wanted to have a session and inform others in case anyone else is free and up for it today. But today is also Red Nose Day and I just can't miss a load of that, which is why I'll only be joining in for about an hour.

Happy birthday cute one.

Happy birthday to zerofocus, delhasa and darlin' @Nisimaldar~ :'3

I really liked this album but I don't think any of their releases I'll favor more so then their first album. I didn't actually find myself daydreaming which I usually do when listening to releases these days so I can't call this album same-y sounding. I can see why you and many would say that though. The tracks are pretty straightforward and have the same structure. Still, a highly enjoyable and worthwhile listen, even if I will return for only one or two tracks. P.S - Fab review hon and I love that top comment sum up.

My body is ready.

Ryutaro & Kobayashi & Asakawa = best threesome chaps in the scene, yes yes >.<

Happy birthday to lovely @ishiki. And to counterproduct and Drieli. : 3 now, woman, do work ;;

changedthemagain what a semi-hiatus~

Someone please give me a backbone.

Same. I'm surprised by how much it's upset me honestly. I just really hope they'll continue, even if not together, but still going strong with seperate bands. But definitely Yuuki. He better go on to more activities. That precious voice cannot be gone so soon. I am so serious right now, I'm not even using a GIF. x'D

Mega happy birthday wishing to those I've missed and to upcoming ones I won't get to. Have a great day all!

To distract a few of us from the upsetting news that has befell us today, is anyone else up for only a couple hours of plugging today? Also, are we all in an agreement for an 'International Theme' for tomorrow? If not, 'Comedy' had as many bring ups as well.

Come on, seriously? You can stop now.

Great band, great single, and great review! I personally find them enjoyable and the whole traditional attire and sound is really intriguing to me. They're, admittedly, not a band I listen to all that much, and I went to them by the time they released their album just because of the Vocaloid covers, aha. I was conflicted for a bit which poll option to go for, between the two top ones; I agree. This is one of the dark horse bands that have the potential to explode! Somewhat. The music sounds pleasant but I don't see what other people see in it. My opinion on them is both of these points. They have major potential and I'd like to see more people get into them while the band also explores more sounds they can surely pull off. While I like them, I can see how the hype is quite a bit more than expected but it's awesome to see (I mean, come on, they're restoring what Kagrra, had to stop as already mentioned). I think most of us can hype our favourites, but when I hear these guys, I just think that they can offer so much more to the table which is why I feel this way.

I love this. What a list, right!? I can forsee the Chara listening future for I have already put her on my EOTYL and this will not fail me. I will not allow that. : 3 Also, just leaving this here: 'The “secret garden” here is a reference to a woman’s uterus. The secret garden / uterus motif carries over into the album’s cover art as well. It depicts Chara as a statue in a flower garden. Chara says that when she’s in love, she creates beautiful songs.' Last sentence? Hella cute. First few? Not that much. x'D
