"Hakusei the 13th Album of Plastic Tree band. 13 looks a good number to them when if think about 13th Friday   "
 
 

 
 
 
What talk about Plastic tree ? I think this is a great and biggest discussions to me. Anyway I just want to say about my impressions about the new album them.  First of all I will write about every detail and the highs of every song… (I will try, because I never wrote a big review in my view point that I can express my feelings about the music and I'm sorry if I commit some wrongs in English). I am not none specialist or an awesome reviewers like my friends that do a great work here.
 
After 3 years Plastic Tree released a new album with same proportions of last album entitled “Ink”.I can consider that “echo” is great to be a mini album and the one way to keep great songs to this new release. Some tricks were used to this new album in relation about audio editing and this isn’t a new for us. The tracklist was sinuously work to bring a new harmony to album (Happened with last album is really worked).  It comes to album Hakusei I can say that worked again with some imperfections that i will say in the end. I bought both versions to see how them work with the art of Doroinu (Gekidan inu curry) to try understand what is spectacular point this album both in view of beauty (aesthetics) as musically.
 
Leaving try to be too specific…  Let’s to review.
 
 
LET'S GO!
 
 
1 - ◯生物 (◯Seibutsu)
 
The album start with many sounds, since guitar sound to a relaxing atmosphere with little sound piano until back to guitar sound to next song. Special beginning that want  to say "the next songs are spontaneous and unique". I really like these beginnings of albums them, since release of Puppet show in 1998 they demonstrate the sign that the album is a new world that should be discovered and re-created the way of the listener.
 
2 -フラスコ (Frasco)
 
Following the way of first song we start with Frasco, the beginning is strong with instruments until smooth with the Ryutaro’s voice. Its great song to beginning and enjoyable and addictive follow of first song, I always think that two songs of parts is more addictive and great. For me its two songs and keep your sharp ears. This is a song looks for me a little remember of “Ink song” that is the second track of album “ink”, mainly the way that they work to this two first songs and this is the high for Frasco. I don’t have nothing against this, but do many times no looks so original/different. Anyway I’m happy with Frasco song.
 
3 -マイム (Maimu)
 
I have to say that Maimu is an awesome song that I have affection. The single "Maimu" already showed the new beginning for band, after the mini album "echo" and the beginning of art Doroinu on CDs. Now Maimu is in Hakusei album (Usually the singles prior to the album are always on the album, only the title track.) and make a break between the end of song previous and the end this song to next that made me a little uncomfortable. Isn't necessary for me that every song must have a anchor to connect to another song, but in my opinion the tracks need to be aligned to form a certain harmony. This always happens with me and eventually disappears. I always think that the highs this song is the moment of refrain and think of the small movements with a little dance of ryutaro hands that are very cute.
 
4 -ハシエンダ (Haçienda)
 
Started one of the new songs, Haçienda is very enthralling and amazing. I have a great impression that this song will play with a certain frequency in the concerts them, because the song just fit exactly in context of current music and previous them (For example of tracks: Dummy Box, GEKKO OVERHEAD and Tretis) that are amazing to endcores in live concerts. It’s wonderful hear with intensity kenken in drums that enchants me completely, most music plays perfectly with akira and Tadashi. Haçienda have your own high in all duration with much peculiarity with traits of being a great song that many people gonna love. Also brings this magic to give all harmony as the basis for the following song.
 
5 -告白 (Kokuhaku)
 
The best moment of all album for me. Kokuhaku is the most high of all album, the song is in one perfect way in all album (It’s the point central). In this song I can see “The Hakusei” of album like all. In all moment the song is perfect and so addictive, same I trying remember of another song similar… But until now I don’t found and I don’t want.  I would like this song like MUSIC VIDEO haha, maybe in a live DVD. Kokuhaku have own singularity of others songs in this album in my opinion. It’s the best song.
 
6 - インソムニアブルース (Insomnia blues)
 
After the amazing "Kokuhaku" the high of all album comes in a balance with Insomnia blues. Its a nice song and quite solid in own effects. It is like was hearing the song "Elegy" of album "Nega to poji" completely. I really appreciate this great memory, but in Insomnia blues is a new sense that will conquer you with each new music and this track already made it obvious that this album is already wonderful. The highs of Insomnia blue is in own solid beat and enjoyable with Ryutaro on vocals. I can say that this song is a one of the best of all album.
 
7 – float
 
Float song already start so quiet and wonderful to bring delicacy of album. I just want say that this song is so "yummy" to hear. peaceful to listen while I drink a tea in afternoon (my way). float already have own meaning from the title to have a first impression to the listener. Same i dont understand the song i feel that is a great poem inside this song. Its good sensation and this float do all the time.
 
8 - 落花 (Rakka)
 
Rakka makes the restart of lively songs after float. Rakka is a the end of singles this new “era” them, mainly about the art of Doroinu (I think). Talk about rakka… I like this song, is addictive. But I don’t have nothing special, because I just think in “doukou”song already have this identity of song lively in perfect harmony and make the same way sometimes is boring and this is case of rakka. Like always they put songs of singles on album its okay to me. My focus is in new songs.
 
9 -スラッシングパンプキン•デスマーチ (Thrashing pumpkin death march)
 
WOOOW…. Was the first thing that I thought about this song. Its a mixture of consent with Bermunda Triangle (in the first time that I heard). *** is a song that i have emphasize on several points. The music has a attractive beat with wonderful effects that were already used in other songs (beyond what I already quoted). Thrashing pumpkin death march is one of my favorite songs after Kokuhaku. I can risk that this music will play so much in many concerts them as well as Haçienda. The highs are the aesthetic of sounds that impressed me a lot, actually I am so happy and with feeling that I needed to hear this song... The title that gave me tips of how it could be. Because the album itself was already showing to me all this strength and twinkle alive, contagious that Hakusei behind.
 
10 - スロウ (Slow)
 
The penultimate single before the new album, "slow" bring the melancholy and poetry that is a own identity of band. Particularly i like of songs this way that bring a sad way with a reflection inside that sensitize every minute. The position of song in tracklist is great to rhythm end of album, besides being enjoyable with a strong ecstatic feelings between beats together with the Ryutaro’s voice. The high this song is in poetry that  passes to the listener, is a song that proves that them still write the same songs with poetry and expression feelings sad, but have a single true. This is one reason that I love this band.
 
11 - 剥製 (Hakusei)
 
The title track of album was a surprise to me when I heard the album the first time. Because Hakusei was the first song that played on the radio, however only half song without intro that start with Ryutaro's voice grumbling about the song and the amazing 2 minutes remaining that I got hear when I was with my copy. 
I was already thinking that the radio version was not complete, maybe because the duration of the program or intentionally like a order from label... cruel doubt. However I enjoyed quite this (Radio Edit), but doesn't compare to the full track that made me fall in love for gentleness and relieving the rhythm that "slow" brought before of end album. The highs of Hakusei is light and giving the impression relaxing after a flurry of amazing songs and giving the place to the last song.
 
12 - ●静物 (●Seibutsu)
 
The title of the last song is similar with the first.  Exist serenity between both, ◯Seibutsu start flourishing with other sounds to connect with the second song. While ●Seibutsu comes with peace of mind and goes fading with light of piano together with a sound it seems with the space. I love songs this way with a impression that the sounds begin in a way and inside them exist a world with many these sounds to the end that of all is nothing more than that silence from the beginning. Where it all starts is the same as where it all ends.
 
 
Overall:
 
I must admit that the album has a great performance in all new songs that too have strong individuality and some similarities with other songs them. The album have a fluidity in all moments with the good position in the playlist, because exist a link between the first track and the last giving an infinite loop in album and i like so much this. Also have a certain division in the album of first six songs to six latest as reference the first track show a clearer contrast alive to a contrast more obscure to latest track. Therefore exist differences in the art of booklet, like Yin-Yang like reference.
 
Hakusei has a beautiful visual content in both physical versions, the band used all the art Doroinu in booklet. This is the best covers and content in all releases them. By the way the singles that previous the album showed that the album would not be different and at that point and I must congratulate them.
 
Although Hakusei have all this quality performance exist also some problems: the first is that the album doesn't have a PV or an extra digital content that left me disappointed. I've been thinking that they have chosen not to make a PV because of the high cost of own album as a whole since only the regular edition costs 3000 yen and limited edition box and more the art of Doroinu costs 5400 yen, paper quality in the limited version should have increased the cost of this version. Supposing that if there one PV together with one Type C Limited Edition would be quite expensive because of all production and unmistakable art Doroinu or same if there in this Limited edition BOX would be expensive. This makes us think that the release of "Ink" there was a version with 2 DVDS due to the rebuilds that cost almost 10,000 yen. I think that the label didn't want some loss by this album's performance if compared with previous album. It is possible that they release one new DVD after Hakusei with a live pv with some song from the album giving reference to the extra digital content that is missing on the album or same one PV. It is possible that they release one new DVD after Hakusei with a live pv with some song from the album giving reference to the extra digital content that is missing on the album or same one PV. The second problem is that i have in particular is the number of singles in album, i think that must have only 2 songs from the singles. But isn't today that they do this, just to have a normal amount of tracks for the album.
 
In relation with other albums, Hakusei has similarity with the previous album as has already said at the beginning of my review. The loudness of "Ink" is present in Hakusei at some moments with addictive beats and songs that conquer the listener. I couldn't left out a few others like "echo" that could disregard, but has a small reference of ammonite in songs and is different from Hakusei without intro in much details. While ammonite is a solid album with shoegaze in the wonderful song 13th Friday and with references to previous releases about this old plastic tree also is the last album without seal of FlyingStar/ CJ Victor Entertainment that happened in 2012 in the same period of release of "Ink" that makes me with one possible doubt about way the label. Possibly "tried" change the way of how the band works, because ammonite is different of Ink and Hakusei that left obvious these albums. Also I think that they can be out of comfort zone for do something different during these releases as a certain interference from the label that has a good and bad side.
 
However my rating about Hakusei is very fair for performance and quality aspects that the album behind. I hope that the next releases dont have much similarity with other albums and I would like to see more the art Doroinu on the covers of CDs them. Also I would like to see a fully shoegaze album of them, not wanting them to be just a shoegaze band but with a moderate form of each sub-genre in his songs.

Awwww yeaaahh~ Glad to hear someone else is enjoying him. *high fives* Anything else you really like this month that we didn't get around to covering? 
 
I hope we can get a playlist feature working at some point in the future too, I send these posts to friends and family and they've asked me if we could do the same to make it easier/faster for them in the past as well.
 
 
@ShanethVarosa
  I've really been enjoying Ai's solo stuff so far after losing a lot of enthusiasm for later-era Deathgaze, and "White Moon" is definitely another gem in the pile. Really beautiful track, there.   That D track is actually one of the better things I've heard from them in a whiiiile. This is a very pleasant surprise.     @beni   Wow I was not expectng that emotional outcry Kominami Yasuha unleashed in that chorus!! (I know you said harsh pitch, but you definitely meant it! I was only maybe expecting a little scratch or grit but she really went there.) Took me totally by surprise and pulled me right into that song. Wonderful!    Dat Phew track, tho. I loved this. I have never heard of her before and I have obviously been missing out.   I don't normally like Chara too much. But I can handle her vocal tone a lot better with this rock sound than pop. I also just have to say it really makes me smile when a limited project like that decides to keep it going for their own enjoyment. That's really cool in my book. lol.     @CAT5   The cheserasera! I love these guys a lot. I can't believe I missed this release this month so I'm super grateful for a reminder.   I really enjoy that we seem to follow bands on opposite sides of the punk scene and I'm always like "WHERE DID THESE DUDES COME FROM??" lol. Happened again with PLAY DEAD SEASON. I'm gonna have to hunt down this split as well. This is great.   The Bradio fan in me is excited by 8otto, I've heard the name but didn't remember them sounding like this. I'm loving the vibe here with the funky music but the too-cool-for-school vocal style.   indigo jam unit. That's sad they are hanging it up, this song is really nice. Too many great bands phasing out this year. Way too many.   That BUPPON song reminds me I need a lot more Japanese hip hop in my life. I probably know like 5 legit Japanese rappers. That's just sad. lol.    Also that Marmalade Butcher song really hits half way through and I was living for it. Really nice list this month!!! But ngl I like Atlantis Airport a lot. But this is another split I didn't even hear about. December was just crazy. 

I have NO idea who ANYONE in the Non-Japanese picks are. x'D Mommy Long Legs looks cool though, I'll probably check them out. Such sophisticated selections. Burgh and cali≠gari look interesting, only ever tried half of a cali≠gari album and I THINK I stumbled across Burgh at some point this year but never gave them a try. I really want to try out Marco, I've never heard of them before but they look like they'd sound fab. (Because of that comment I should really try more MERRY, huh? xD) Also, If I remember correctly, you had THE HAKKIN on your previous AOTY list right? TOWA TEI and Hirasawa Susumu were great listens as expected. I JUST REMEMBERED YOU PLAYED CATTLE DECAPITATION IN PLUG! Were there any others you played from here? Because that's cool. x3 You can't forget that album cover!

I've had this track on repeat a lot lately:

KOJOE is best when he's just spitting and not attempting to sing.

LOOKIN' ATCHU CAT AND BENI. 

(Some of) my favorite non-Japanese releases 2015

 

 

Algiers by Algiers
 
This band came out of the blue and instantly swept me away. A bizarre mixture of post-punk,
industrial electronics and... soul, gospel and blues? As weird as it sounds, it works amazingly.
 
 

Trilogy by Carpenter Brut
 
The mighty French mastermind of dark retro synthwave released a collection album, much to my
delight. The perfect soundtrack to your life, if you're living in a zombie-filled '80s B-movie that is.

 

 

The Anthropocene Extinction by Cattle Decapitation
 
Cattle Decapitation is one of those few bands that I'll always dig, no matter what. Hard-as-balls
deathgrind onslaught that will melt your face off, but only after pummeling you into the ground.
 
 

True Enemy by Disgrace
 
Speaking of pummeling, Disgrace's debut album is one mean listen. This lethal combo of death
metal and metallic hardcore is your perfect choice if you had a bad day and wanna cut loose.
 
 

I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside by Earl Sweatshirt
 
It's no secret that Earl is my favorite from the (now defunct?) Odd Future collective, and he
doesn't disappoint here either. Hazy and bleak hip-hop delivered in the usual Earl fashion.
 
 

Dreamcrash by Grave Pleasures
 
One of my most-anticipated albums of the year, Grave Pleasures' first full-length offering is a
potent cocktail of romantically morbid melodies and haunting post-punk melancholia.
 
 

Bodies by Haust
 
Utterly vile and crusty black metal'n'roll with a surprisingly atmospheric undertone. Expect
anything from cosmic keyboards to all-out punk nihilism. One of the very best of 2015!
 
 

Exercises in Futility by Mgła
 
The Polish brothers did it again. Imagine everything that is awesome about black metal,
channeled through fantastically crafted misanthropic tirades. Essential metal listening.
 
 

Life Rips & Assholes by Mommy Long Legs
 
These girls just came and stole my heart right away. Their two cassette EPs are packed to the brim
with hilariously fun (and funny) DIY garage-punk tunes that will stick in your head. Slumber party!
 
 

Key Markets by Sleaford Mods
 
A dude with a microphone and a dude with a bottle of beer and a laptop. So simple yet genius.
The guys are doing their usual fare of vitriolic rants and minimal punk-hop beats and winning.
 
 

Ten Solid Years of Applause by Super Luxury
 
A totally random discovery of mine, Super Luxury play abrasive in-your-face noise rock that just
sounds so honest and knuckleheaded (and even catchy) that they immediately won me over.
 
 

A legszebb éveink by Szabó Benedek és a Galaxisok
 
Benedek Szabó, one of Hungary's young singer-songwriters, finally released his second album
and oh boy, is it fine! Bittersweet lyrics and instantly hummable melodies, the total package.
 
 

Tremors by Terrible Feelings
 
This band is so good, I just don't get why they aren't known more. Heartbreaking melodies layered
on top of vintage-sounding punk'n'roll hymns, straddling the line between melancholic and uplifting.
 
 
 
That's all, folks! Bear in mind that this is only a small segment of all the cool music 2015 had to offer. I had a really hard time narrowing my lists down to 10 entries (so I made this second one 13, lol), especially considering how I started out with 30-35 entries for my Japanese list and more than 100 for the non-Japanese one! So I guess this is more like a spur-of-the-moment type listing, but still, I hope you'll find some good stuff here.

(Some of) my favorite Japanese releases 2015

 

 

テクノ・ナルシスのすべて by Burgh (All About Techno Narcisse by Burgh)
 
Newcomers Burgh deliver a quick round of catchy post-punk tunes with heaps of that surfin'
punk flare you can’t help but love. Fun and dancey goodness. A band to look out for!
 
 

12 by cali≠gari
 
It's no secret that cali≠gari is close to my heart, so naturally this was gonna be on here. Quirky,
melodic and always interesting - a very strong album with a surprising amount of diversity.
 

 

妄想主義者ノ背徳。by グリーヴァ (Mousou shugisha no haitoku. by Grieva)
 
I must applaud Grieva: after losing a drummer, they quickly found a new member and proceeded
to release some of their best work to date. This mini takes the cake, such kote-kei goodness.
 
 

ホログラムを登る男 by 平沢進 (Hologram wo noboru otoko by Hirasawa Susumu)
 
Hirasawa outdid himself once again, serving up his unique brand of futuristic new-age synth pop.
Soaring melodies and arrangements bursting with bio-mechanical personality; the very best.
 
 

Cthulhu & R'lyeh by KEEL
 
KEEL is undoubtedly the Nagoya-kei supergroup of the year for me. Four excellent musicians,
two mini albums, a cool dark style with garage-y undertones. Couldn't ask for more, just perfect!


 

 

近代ブラック by マルコ (Kindai Black by Marco)
 
Marco are one of the big positive surprises of 2015. Even though their style is unmistakably
borrowed from MERRY, they manage to crank out killer tunes like it's nobody's business.
 
 

VITIUM by sukekiyo
 
Kyo & co can practically do no wrong with their mystical progressive style of music, no matter
how challenging it may seem at times. The overall length is just right for it all to click too.

 

 

情緒 by THE HAKKIN (Joucho by THE HAKKIN)
 
Sadly THE HAKKIN is no longer with us, but before their demise they released a full-length.
This baby is full of shameless '80s new-wave nostalgia. If you can handle cheese - dig in!
 
 

I AM MORTAL by THE MORTAL
 
BUCK-TICK's Sakurai Atsushi turned his goth-o-meter to 11 and, with his talented crew, cooked
up a boiling cauldron of dark rock elegance. Bauhaus called, they want their swag back!

 

 

CUTE by TOWA TEI
 
With a plethora of impressive guest artists (and a telling album title!), master TOWA TEI made
one of the best electronic pop albums of the year: full of bleeps, bloops and sleek Shibuya chic.
 
 
 
Stay tuned for my list of Non-Japanese favorites - coming soon!

Also can be read as: Releases I actually listened to more than once.
 
2015 was a year with lots of releases from bands i discovered recently and also bands I have been following for a long time. Trying to keep up with everything has been really hard. I enjoyed a lot of releases but the truth is: I didn't replay a lot of them. So here is the stuff I actually listened constantly last year. btw no ranking order besides the obvious number one.


Pelican Fanclub by Pelican Fanclub
Wooo big surprise here, huh? I bet no one saw this coming. I have over 400 plays for this album on lastfm alone.
You can say I am pretty addicted to them. I can listen to this band for hours without getting tired.
This EP is probably the only one all year I love every single song.
 
 


Hiniku na tane no hikutsu na me and Akesuke Shuuchiroku by Kuroyuri to Kage
Easily my most played VK releases from last year. The album maybe not as much but I really dig the EP.
Their songs can sound very same-y and I hope they change that up a bit in 2016.
 



Every Open Eye by CHVRCHES
The first album was my 2013-2014 soundtrack basically so I was super excited for this release.
A lot of people seemed to not like it but i think the quality is pretty much the same as the previous one.
It wasn't perfect but it was definitely above average for me.
 



I Don't Want to Open the Window to the Outside World by Pony
They released their 1st album in 2009 and an EP in 2012. Both sounded like your usual indie band from Korea (which I love, anyways)
but for this album they turned into a completely different band and went full experimental. I LOVED IT. 



Petry ga Yonderu by GOOD ON THE REEL
These guys released an EP before this and I was about to throw them in the trashcan of forgotten/ruined bands
but they ended up releasing an album that sounded completely different and much much better so they have been forgiven.



VIDYA by IX-NINE-
The vocals may bother some people but i think they are just right for the kind of sound they've been putting out.
The upcoming album sounds promising too so I'm very excited for these guys in 2016!



New Place by Ame no Parade
I looove Kohei's voice and how soothing it can be in certain songs. The second half of this EP is gold.
Ame no Parade was my favorite discovery of 2014 and this is like seeing my own children doing well in school.



Elegance by THE NOVEMBERS
Could've been better? Yes. But after a while this EP grew on me and now I can pretty much enjoy every track.
SCREAMING4ICECREAM 



Roomsick Girls Escape/non-fiction four e.p. by hitorie
Oh, how I love hitorie's style. They really never disappoint with their music so it is almost obligatory I add this to the list.
 


Compact by Koochewsen
Lovely band that I discovered last year and I enjoyed pretty much every song from this EP.

@@CAT5, if you want motivation, feel that coming from me somehow xD
I want to see how will be the distance between THE NOVEMBERS and DECAYS.

I'm still pondering whether I should make a list or not. The bulk of my interests feel really irrelevant, but I may give it a shot!

This thread will have my picks from 2015, which will include a top 50 dedicated for my favorite songs, and a top 15 for albums and singles released that I most enjoyed.
Do you liked it? Make a comment saying what do you enjoy on the list.
Don't liked? Let me know by adding a comment with which song/release you missed here.

These selections of mine are ones that have not been mentioned before on any project of the ORZ, so not all of my favourites are gathered here (save for a few select song favourites from some albums that have been previously mentioned in BNTs). To check out the rest I enjoyed, see the Staff album selections.   Because I have so many picks for this year since I got to a lot more music than in 2014, I'm going to be posting a handful of releases one by one within two days, preferably in a weeks amount of time. That's 70 picks! After picking out from what I had gotten to throughout the year and enjoyed, I ended up with a good 112 releases I adored from this rather 'weak' year alone (laugh with me, go ahead!), so I just HAD to feature an honorable mentions for the lot I was forced to remove to whittle down the ever growing list.   Be sure to look out for the bold yellow text = HONORABLE MENTIONS and bold red text = TOP TIER ALERTS (top tier means I found the whole release to be perfect) whilst you're at it! Every release has bolded tracks that indicate my favorite songs on the particular release and a shortish description of the sound/genres.   This list isn't ranked but in alphabetical order. Click the first spoiler tag for my honorable mentions or don't if you want to check them out with the list when they're called out in the blurbs for references. Not all will be commented on though!   Without further ado, enjoy~
