I'm going to have to come back to Murakami another time then, thanks for your comment on that. Might as well remove my bookmark from it for either of his other two. XD
 
I didn't know of 'Coin Locker Babies' so I'll add that with 'In The Miso Soup'. His titles always sound interesting. I totally get how you feel with 'Piercing', there's a lot more that could've been done with it. It just... ended, and it didn't really go anywhere now that I think about it but damn was it gripping. Totally reading 'In The Miso Soup' in one sitting now too!
 
 
Oh nice, being influenced by anime! Interesting stuff.
Ah, that's too votes on 'Kafka on the Shore' now then. Won't need to debate with myself between them. And LMAO, I'm not going to even bother with the movie then, even if Mizuhara is starring in it... I won't give in! Listening to you all the way! Too bad the setting/style looks neat, bet it's like Bunraku, looks great, but it's actual crap overall. X'D
 
AHHHH AWWWWWW YEAH~ Nice seeing someone else dig her work. x3 I remember seeing that CutiePieMarzia YouTuber bring her up and totally flipped.
'Out' is another book I had purchased on that shopping spree! I'm a bit worried about how thick it is, lol, but it sounded really thriller like so I had to get it. Going straight on it asap now that you've brought it up.

Tracklist:
1. ◯生物 (◯Seibutsu)
2. フラスコ (Frasco)
3. マイム (Mime)
4. ハシエンダ (Haçienda)
5. 告白 (Kokuhaku)
6. インソムニアブルース (Insomnia Blues)
7. float
8. 落花 (Rakka)
9. スラッシングパンプキン•デスマーチ (Thrashing pumpkin death march)
10. スロウ (slow)
11. 剥製 (Kakusei)
12. ●静物 (●Seibutsu)


| Plastic Tree execute an album with more highlights than a thick, full head of hair can take.

 It's impossible for 'disappointment' and 'new Plastic Tree album' to be together in the same sentence, as they prove once again. 剥製 (Hakusei) is the bands thirteenth full length album and it's been a painful wait even with a handful of singles and another mini-album occupying us up until December of last year. But it can be safely said that it was well worth the wait.

Much like how Ink worked with a complimentary opener and closer, 剥製 is organised in the same manner. Being a dramatic and emotional instrumental as the final track, but with a bit of Ryutaro goodness in the first one, both match wonderfully. This encourages a repeat thanks to the same soft piano melody used in both to tie them together. "●静物" (●Seibutsu) ends the album on a gorgeous yet sad note, quite literally, while "◯生物" (◯Seibutsu) sets a tone that captures the shoegaze genre that plays off of Ryutaro's vocalization like a charm.

"フラスコ" (Frasco), track two, starts the album off beautifully after the wonderful opener, and while simple, it still stands out on its own. Its sound makes you picture a journey across a beautiful landscape. I get that feeling of travelling with this one, and moving onto my pair of favourites on the album, it only gets more adventurous in the mid section of the release. "インソムニアブルース" (Insomnia blues) has an unbelievable flow with an incredibly gorgeous chorus. Ryutaro's mumbled vocals are almost overpowered by the pounding music, fitting to their shoegaze tendencies. With a melody that reminds me of their classic song "水槽。"(suisou), it's another underwater like tune I always adore the sound of. The track that follows after this is more than fitting. "float" continues this setting, adopting a more peaceful sound. "float" is one of their more soft rock tunes, and while not much happens, that's how the magic works. It's another track that flows effortlessly, with slant rhyme schemes and repeated lyrics, coming off as rather romantic; it's a must include when going on vacation, despite what craziness they're probably singing about. "剥製" (Hakusei), as you might have noticed, is the album title's track, and most certainly deserving. Being one of their slowest songs, it grabs you straight away with a melancholic tune as they do best. The prompt whispering and drum hits at the start sets the mood and with it being the final track before the penultimate song, it sure is a climax despite its linear path throughout.

I can't forget to expand on the recent singles "マイム" (Mime), "スロウ" (slow) and "落花" (Rakka) that I mentioned earlier. Usually for me, the singles are always the stand out points, but this is the exception to the rule. The rest of 剥製 manages to prove its worth against the strong singles, and I personally find that incredible and rare. When looking at the singles on their own, "マイム" plays like a classic Plastic Tree tune, with questionable, riddle-like lyrics, and a psychedelic charm to it. This brings me back to how the band sounded on "トレモロ" (Tremelo) because of the theatrical delivery. While "落花" (Rakka) has a simpler structure, as I had already described in September's RT, it's still a very solid submission with instantly catchy and familiar riffs as expected. But it's "スロウ" (slow) that proves to be one of the highlights of 剥製 for me. The slower paced melody creates an idealistic, lonely setting - the kind Plastic Tree are known for forging. "スロウ" (slow) never quite reaches a climax, but it takes you down a current you wish wouldn't end. It's very complimentary to their similar song "Blueback" mixed with "Ink", which spells out perfection by the way.

The album isn't all peaceful sounding though. "スラッシングパンプキン•デスマーチ" (Thrashing pumpkin death march) is one of the louder songs Plastic Tree have put out, and while eccentric and bubbly, it comes off as lost and unnecessary. I'm grateful for the autotune put over Ryutaro's voice, making it even more entertaining; yet it almost comes off as another silly cover like they did with "バカになったのに" (Baka ni Natta no ni). While it's a neat addition and adds variety, it fails to pull through in the long run because it sticks out like a sore thumb, and not one you'd kiss better. On the topic of pain, there's also "ハシエンダ" (Haçienda), which comes off as a song I swear I've heard from them before. I thought I was going mental when comparing the track's title to their mini-album, echo's tracklist. Being one of the quicker paced numbers on the album didn't do it any favors, instead cornering it like a deer in headlights. It's enjoyable if you can forgive its copy-and-paste tune, but this time their experimentation made a song that just doesn't mesh. It's quite a bore if I had to admit it. There's also a track that fits nicely (well, not so nicely since it's not exactly a compliment) into the 'grower material' section. "告白" (Kokuhaku) was so mediocre on first listen, and against two similar and better tracks, this was left in the dust. But with a catchy chorus that invades your head space it does its job in complimenting its companion tracks.

If you're (somehow!) new to the guys, this is not to be missed. If you've been a long time listener of them, this is not to be missed. 剥製 may not be perfect, but it's going to be impossible not to treasure it as much as their previous works. Plastic Tree have surely made their fans proud. The band shows that you can still be simple yet effective when putting out music, doing what you're best at doing and still excelling at it (let's just forgive and forget those few clangers)!

Bringing this back since the 'Official Music Hate Thread' had been brought back, I'll just leave yet another shout out to BUMP OF CHICKEN for being so indescribably flawless. I have no idea why I love them so much or what makes them so amazing to me but they're just so precious and pure.

Patient: Awoi.
Diagnosis: Disbanded.
Prescription: GET THE FUCK BACK TOGETHER AGAIN ON THE DOUBLE. (IT'S A CRIME YOU EVER EVEN DISBANDED, I HATE THAT I LOVE YOU.)

I'm going to have to come back to Murakami another time then, thanks for your comment on that. Might as well remove my bookmark from it for either of his other two. XD

I'm sold, I don't care if it's only got one star. That didn't stop me with Dumb and Dumber To. XD

Simply state a band/musician or two that have been with you for many years that you still adore as much as when you first got into them. But, also do the same for another band/artist or two that you used to adore but didn't stay with you to this day below that. I thought this'd be nice to see how your taste has developed while also seeing what has managed to stick with you through that change.
 
I'll go first as an example:
 
Likey: Plastic Tree and Asian Kung-Fu Generation - I've always associated myself with Pura's music. Their lyrics always touch me no matter how I'm feeling, for better and for worse, and somehow, my response to them can be so different. They can make me think and were a way I could express my feelings. They're my musical rock pretty much. XD
There's something really interesting about AKFG, who have a really simple and copy-and-paste like structure, but still pull off some of the best melodies and songs that withstand all these years for me. They're one of my many bands I'll not listen to for a bit but always spam when I go back to them, and still super stan them as hard as I did at first.
 
No more likey: UVERworld and One OK Rock - I used to be into both bands a lot when I first discovered J-music, but now it's not often I go back to their albums that I had used to spam a couple of years ago. I'm going to blame myself for looking at them in the same way I did with Paramore, they were my teenage sweethearts but both don't really do it for me anymore. Songs I used to love to listen too when I was angry and tired from school I don't feel that much energy towards anymore, even my favourite songs from them have lost their touch on me.

They did one of my favourite VK songs.
 

 
Gotta love them, they do really neat and catchy melodies. 

Chara and her baby girl, Sumire. I love this picture so much. Funny how young chara looks, she could easily pass as Sumire's sister.
 

 
ofc this is the only one off of the top of my head ^^;

Any time you and beni had a matching avatar. Or any time you had a Kobatar (koba+avatar).

When you had mah boy Koba's avatar in 2014. I remember cuz you were a new user at the time, and anyone with Koba as their avatar will stand out to me.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Steve, a graphic designer from Canada who's been into Visual Kei for about 10 years. I'm new to the forums, but I've been creeping everything for a little over 2 years (I'm shy, or stupid or something). I'm finally working from home, so I figured I'd have more time to waste on the internet, and thus, get active on MH!

My top 3 bands that I couldn't live without:

1. heidi.
2. Plastic Tree
3. lynch.
I like to consider the 2004-2009ish era my personal 'golden age' for VK, so most of my favorite bands are from that era and are as follows. Those are my top three in order, but the rest are a toss up!
 
PIERROT
cali≠gari
12012
DEATHGAZE
D'espairsRay
deadman
9GOATS BLACK OUT
DELUHI
MERRY
girugämesh
蜉蝣 (Kagerou)
The GazettE
-OZ-
Sadie
NoGoD
ケミカルピクチャーズ
人格ラヂオ
陰陽座 (Onmyo-za)
 
As far as 'newer' bands go (I'm getting old), these guys are alright by me:
 
AvelCain
Develop One's Faculties
DEZERT
DIV
HOLLOWGRAM
KEEL
My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND
Umbrella
黒百合と影 (Kuroyuri to Kage)

- - -
I like regular J-Rock too (AKFG, FACT, etc.) and as far as English music goes, I mostly like 90's era shoegazing goodness (Ride, Chapterhouse, mbv, etc.) and a little Ringo Deathstarr/Fleeting Joys.
 
Japanese Rock has been a part of my life for a really long time, and I owe it to sites like this for keeping the love alive! I'm glad to be a part of it nao. Sorry for the band-spam! I like lists and paragraphs. See you in the forums
 

Firstly, thank you, @CAT5 for your constant commitment and improvements to this. This revamp has been the best yet!
 
@Zeus, it's terrific seeing THE BLACK SWAN being commented on, especially by yourself. I have yet to get to the release, but it sounds well worth it as expected.
 
@emmny, brilliant to have you. That's a real neat blurb, and while I can't say much at all on DEZERT, bless you on including them, it's a great choice.
 
@fitear1590, LILI LIMIT, instant thumbs up. That was a wonderful release, they just keep getting it on point. koochewsen always sounds lovely, it's cool seeing them reaching more people thanks to @doombox and @seurong as you've said! LUCKY TAPES and LONDBOY are new to me, and now I'm going to have to go on a hunting spree for more from both!
 
@CAT5, I'm rather interested in METAFIVE with your comments on it including @doombox's play of them in dub. I'll certainly check that album out at some point. ATATA sounds right up your street, and is something I'd like to listen to more of. I wasn't expecting those vocals, I really like what I'm hearing. As you know with NakamuraEmi, I enjoyed that album. It certainly flowed and was organised well. You picked a super neat number too. Really deserving of more recognition. Unfortunately, Galileo Galilei I couldn't get into. It's a nice album but not compared to their earlier works if you ask me. It's quite different and therefor rather far off from what I love from them that I can't embrace it fully. A wonderful pick if I just block out it's Galileo Galilei. XD It's a bittersweet moment, ok ;; 
 
Thank you @yakihiko for your double contribution! Matenrou Opera is really getting on my good side recently, they seem to be improving all the time.

Bless those TV music channels that cover the Noughties and Nineties. So many forgotten gems. Morning well spent.

Got caught in bed with my friend yesterday at home, now I cant have company for a year ugh..

As a longtime lurker (especially in the "Your last music-related buy" thread, because looking at other people's purchases is a guilty pleasure of mine), I finally decided to make an account to perhaps become an active member of the MH community (and to hopefully buy a little something from someone I saw around here...).
 
So, hi there!
 
Introductions are usually such an awkward thing for me though - I never really know what to say, so excuse my incoherent babbling.
 
I've been listening to japanese music for over 10 years now, and those long years have shaped my music tastes in many different ways and directions. I've recently found myself being stuck to listening to the same old groups that mostly don't exist anymore though, so I went on an adventure of finding something new and exciting... With a moderate success so far. Thankfully, the past members of those old bands tend to have way too many new active projects (ugh, Kazu? aie? Yukino?), so I'm not musically starving just yet. :^)
 
Aside from that, I adore ambient music, ero guro, and I'm very much into gaming and e-sports.
 
Pleased to meet you all!

Thank you @yakihiko for your double contribution! Matenrou Opera is really getting on my good side recently, they seem to be improving all the time.

So I had recently gone on a book purchasing spree that are all written by Japanese authors (call me a weeaboo, but it was a sure way to get me into reading more than just manga) and I thought this might be a nice little thread to show our appreciation for their literature while also sharing our comments on popular/currently reading ones and discuss them so here goes nothing~ 
 
I'll start this of by saying who my favourite author is. Banana Yoshimoto's work is always quote worthy and leaves an impression on you. My first read of hers was 'Kitchen' and I'm looking forward to getting to 'Goodbye Tsugumi' and 'Lizard'. 
 
Kitchen-
 
Goodbye Tsugumi-
 
Lizard-
 
The one book I've ever read in one sitting was 'Piercing', by Ryu Murakami. I flew through it and it played like a movie on paper. Sure, that's what books are, but I really got that sense with how gripping it was. While the ending was rather disappointing, that finished almost like there was much more that could've happened (I probably read it so quickly because it was one of the shorter books I got at 192 pages), the writing was spot on and really engaging. A very worthwhile recommendation and quick read suggestion.
 
Piercing-
 
I've started both Taichi Yamada's 'Strangers' and Hitomi Kanehara's 'Autofiction', and will be getting to Yoko Ogawa's 'The Housekeeper and the Professor' and Hiromi Kawakami's 'Strange Weather in Tokyo' after.  
 
I'm slowly making my way through Haruki Murakami's 'Norwegian Wood', and at this rate, I might as well watch the movie and forget about the book. I'm a good 180 or so pages in and it has yet to captivate me like my other two previous mentions. Knowing he's one of the most popular writers from Japan probably made my expectations heightened.

Hello everyone!
 
Some people have known me for a while, and some others might have never heard from me.
 
Either way, I'm Dopefish and I've hung around in the plug.dj room back when that was still a thing.
I don't know a lot of jrock , however I do enjoy Midori, Ling Tosite Sigure and Envy.
Other bands/artists that I enjoy are:
 
Electronic:
Autechre Aphex Twin Squarepusher Carbon Based Lifeforms Solar Fields Hiphop:
Aesop Rock Nujabes Cyne MF DOOM Nas Rock:
Radiohead Drive Like Jehu Botch Converge Dance Gavin Dance GY!BE  
And many more to count.
 
 
 
 

and it was amazing.

That said, hello peoples~

I'm Ash, I've had a long affair with Japan, a shorter one with Thailand, and Korea I just sleep with sometimes when needed.

In other words, I like music from all over- Europe and America as well, of course.
Let's get along and music it up~


I'm a dude, musician, guitar/vox/mandolin/lyrics mainly, focused only on creating my own songs.
But I have long made a silent promise to K that I'll cover a Pay Money To My Pain song in memory of him. ..Miss that guy


I'm also a Gamer, on Steam and just PC gaming in general (right now, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Tales of Zestiria, Creativerse, etc); Anime-watcher, it's a drug by now; health enthusiast, and more.


I interned in Japan last year for 6 months, and I've been studying the language for 2-3 years on and off, so my Japanese is pretty good. I also have made some songs in Japanese and English-Japanese hybrid.

Anyways, let's get along~ throw some bands at me, ask questions- let's see what happens.

MH right now
 

 
For better and for worse.
