YES lmfaooo. the pain, am i right?

oh what the hell ;__; @Elazmus

Go chronologically with emmurée.  Their early output is the best in my opinion, so the demos and love letter are a good primer  

does …。【サイレンス】 count as nagoya kei because in that case listen to …。【サイレンス】

if a band plays at ikebukuro chop with any of those names previous suggested, listen to them

oh and everything aie/ryo/yukino

Mia has FANS????

....... who?

they are great. you should try out the "ankoku sekai wa yami" omnibus which includes kuroyuri, as well as grieva and gossip from the ains label!

@UglymouthUNF greiva + gossip, i'm in, thank you!!

i cant believe we never got a music video out of ankoku sekai wa yami. i can hear BP records laughing at my misery

to this day I still don't fully understand why some crap is so expensive

we're getting fucked over SO hard...yen-->CAD is pure insanity

my real name is Exchange ''Tokage'' Rates fight me right now

(because unflattering images are my #1 sense of humour fyi)

It's especially funny because of all the unflattering selfies they take.

I understand completely. lol

Its horrible. Once you start, you can't stop! XD

Probably end up looking something like this I guess.

I can't get over Hyde. The guy is soon in his 50's..

You just made my day XD

and there's a lot i don't listen to *waits for vk veterans to come with more recommendations* so there will likely be no shortage of cool tunes to check soon mUAHAHAHA wait on it

emmny's recs are on point, but it's also worth mentioning SID's first album "Renai", which honestly is jazz-rock at its best and pretty much started this whole jazzy thing in modern VK. Other bands like SCISSOR, Shichisanshiki and Kazoku also had some really good jazz-inspired stuff.

i guess some of Merry's stuff might apply? although i feel like it's more kayokyoku-inspired than jazz, but still

@chemicalpictures keep looking forward to it then ; )

This sounds great. Write it in your last will lol.

it will happen. i am determined

uhhh i started with stuff i didn't even like all that much, like little exercises and stuff, simple riffs for classic songs. i went through all the simple major chords eventhough i didn't want to do them, but it was really helpful since i was in a lot of pain at first (acoustic isn't for pussies cough cough!) so i got used to holding my fingers down. its little stuff like that to focus on in the beginning because it helps you do the more complicated stuff later [this is what my instructor taught me]. kelly's right with the punk songs and chord progressions, that's a great way to start.

Co-signing everything emmny said. Learning your scales helps a lot and starting on acoustic, build up those calluses. 

you two have been a great help, thank you!! i really appreciate it ;w;

Come join our nokubura MH meet in Finland. ^^

The plane tickets aren't that expensive.

@orange~omg you've got me so envious rn. really really wish i could D:

hope there'll be another meet that i can go to someday!!

yea I'd like be part of some international meet too!! There are many people here from Canada, so if you people ever decide to get together, notify me! I'll try to plan my travels accordingly

Remember to put in 1 fake fact so you know when people are plagiarizing your work

@PHMK2, GOKI being closer to the original DK than the current DK can probably be explained with a blog entry Yuuga made (cba to find it now), but he said that Gokiburi is what he considers "fun and games", while DK is where he really makes music he likes. So Goki was more or less a Yuuga tribute band (at least until Kazuto were added to the line-up). 

"while DK is where he really makes music he likes"

"Suck suck suck suck suck my dick suck"

These days, I mostly rely on my friends/social network for good recommendations and a select few sites. Altho in the past, when I was more passionate about finding new music, I'd literally spend hours scouring sites like myspace (yes, i'm THAT old lol), m4247 (now dead) links on band websites, last.fm, and just ANYTHING with information about bands. p2p/pirating was a huge help too.

For you, I would recommend stopping by our sessions @dubtracks, as with the variety of stuff played there, you're almost guaranteed to hear something that piques your interest. I would also recommend joining the trade-offs here, as they're a good way to potentially find new music, expose yourself to new things, find out more about what you like/don't like, etc, and just interface with the users here!

thank you CAT5!! yeah, i should go back to being active on the dubs :0 i remember i'd always find something that interested me, and it was a lot of fun hearing what others like!! 

Well except for Yuuki, everyone disapppeared tho.
I need Hiyuu back in my life haha ;;

ahh noo,, i miss them so much

hiyuu especially needs to come back

Yaaas and Yuuki aswell in a Band.
But well all ahve to comeback in the music scene already ;3;
