  1. wow this month there's actually a lot of artists i like

    most of them actually

    october was a blessed month with lots of good releases

    i still think 裸のミンク is the best track from elegance tho!!

     

    i tried to not vote for every single song in the poll lol

     

    p.s help a sister out i need more info on the piqnic

    im down for some goth the novembers


  2. i only watch OP/EDs on the first episode but i will watch it again if i think its exceptionally good and suits the anime

    example:

    buck-tick's dress used for trinity blood's OP

    monoral's kiri used for ergo proxy

    or elfen lied's op 

     

    i think trinity blood's OP was the song that first introduced me to buck tick

    i already knew VK when the anime was released but i had never checked them out LOL i had no idea it was them

     

    almost forgot to mention it was one of my all-time favorite anime - darker than black - that introduced me to abingdon boys school

     

    so yeah it does have an impact on me but im still picky about it 

     

    i think having your song featured in an anime is great for promo but of course if the anime is crap/unpopular it's not gonna do anything.


  3. ^ yeah I got an e-mail from CD Japan overnight. Fucking delay AGAIN. It has already held up my original order by a week. I have now moved this album to my other order scheduled to ship 11/25. 

    .. then I added Arlequin's single to the first order because it's releasing 11/04 anyway. Wasn't planning to buy it. Thanks for making me spend another 3000 yen (+shipping).

  4. jpopasia did an interview with mamo

    http://www.jpopasia.com/news/exclusive-jpopasia-interviews-r-shitei::18526.html

    tl;dr mamo hates live actions, dont expect them overseas any soon, rshitei dress however the fuck they want

     

    JPA: Today we have our first interview with R-Shitei. Please introduce yourself and tell us a movie you’ve watched within the past days!

    Mamo: We are R-Shitei, a Visual Kei band being active in Japan. Nice to meet you. A movie I’ve watched lately is the live adaption of the Japanese Anime “Shingeki no Kyojin” [Attack on Titan]. In the end, it made me think that maybe an anime isn't something that should be made into a live-action movie.

    JPA: Before being active as R-Shitei you were active as R-15. Why did you choose “R-Shitei” (engl.: R-rated) in the end?

    Mamo: It was an intuitive feeling. By the influence of adults we were active under the name R-15 but somehow we felt like that held us down.

     

    JPA: Today, on October 28th, you release your new album “少女喪失-syojosoushitsu-“ (engl.: Loss of being a girl). The title sounds rather bitter and sad. Please give us an insight on the album concept.

    Mamo: While living our lifes we’re losing things every single day. I thought: “Couldn’t [a title like this] express this pain and importance?”

    JPA: “少女喪失-syojosoushitsu” will be R-Shitei’s 4th full album. What is different to the albums you’ve already released?

    Mamo: I think we could definitely aim at doing what we wanted to do. Even more than before.

     

    JPA: How did you decide for the new PV concept and location?

    Mamo: It was a place I already went to before and artists I liked already played there.

    JPA: This album features R-Shitei’s first Christmas song. Fans are probably wondering what a Christmas song by R-Shitei sounds like. Please tell us a bit about the lyrics and why you decided to record a Christmas song this year.

    Mamo: It’s about a world view I would usually not write about. But it’s a special extra-CD, so we were able to do it. I think it’s nice if you think of it as a little Christmas present for all of you.

     

    JPA: Which is the song you’re proud of the most from the new album?

    Mamo: This is a common answer but… probably all of them.

    JPA: At lives, which is the songs you like the most?

    Mamo: Ballads

     

    JPA: After releasing your 3rd album “VISUAL IS DEAD“ you started wearing a bit less Visual Kei-like outfits but this time they are very Visual Kei-like again. Is there a special reason for the change?

    Mamo: There isn’t really one. We chose the outfits in a way so that they suited our way of seeing the world that time the best.

    JPA: R-Shitei will go on its "seishun no yami" tour as of October 31st. Please tell us three things that you will take along with you in your luggage!

    Mamo: If I have my wallet, my phone and cigarettes I’m fine.

     

    JPA: JPopAsia is an English site, so there will be many foreigners reading this article. Of course your oversea fans want to see you live but many of them won’t be able to go to Japan for various reasons. What do you think about an oversea tour? Are there any plans for it?

    Mamo: Right now there aren’t but it would be nice to go.

    JPA: R-Shitei’s lyrics are often about the daily life of Japanese young people. Is there any feedback from oversea fans regarding the lyrics?

    Mamo: Sometimes we get feedback. They simply say that they like it. I wonder how the youth abroad is. I think in Japan there are many people with mental illness.

     

    JPA: Which kind of country would you choose to go abroad?

    Mamo: A country with public safety would be nice.

    JPA: In the end, please give a message for your oversea fans!

    Mamo: I think it would be nice to go on a tour abroad sooner or later, so that time I want you to remember that you've read this interview and think “Ah, it’s the guy from that time!” and come and see us. Please remember us!

     

    JPA: Thank you very much for answering our questions!
