Eu não curti muito não, não sou muito chegado num som extremo, raros casos, prefiro um som pesado com um vocal suave com alguns pedaços scream ou gutural. Mas gosto bastante de nocturnal bloodlust e odeio devilroof
Lembro que quando teve esse 'estouro' de -core na cena VK vários torceram o nariz... Na minha opinião essa é uma das melhores fases do estilo até hoje, muitas bandas de qualidade(Deluhi, D.I.D., MBHI, Fixer, Nocturnal Bloodlust, Deviloof, entre outras)
I'm Lizzy from Switzerland. I have been a fan of visual kei since 5 years now. I look forward to this forum, I need to be more up to date. I'm always late when it comes to new releases etc. :'D
My favourite vk bands are ザアザア, 0.1gの誤算, ギャロ, グリーヴ, DADAROMA and DEZERT but there are a lot more bands that I like.
I also like other music genres like 70s and 80s rock, folk metal, classical music and game/movie music.
In my free time I like playing video games, watch movies and series and learn japanese.
Eu nem sabia que, naquela época, nêgo era revoltado assim. Eu fui ler os comentários e fiquei, tipo, "valha"
isso sem falar do povo xingando a Marimoon daquele cara que fez a indispensável piadinha do "visual gay"
E eu nem sabia que o termo "modinha" era tão antigo assim
The diamond「デも/demo」 was found in the darkness to impress us and bring new a beginning to Ryutaro.
From the fans dreams. Finally Ryutaro arimura released your own solo project. This year Plastic tree celebrated the 23th birthday it's interesting as Ryutaro kept his own compositions in secret and he just was waiting the right time to start own solo project. Its so obvious that him wanted a wonderful and very well produced release.
Some years ago... I was talking with a Kurage friend about a "solo project" in future and i was right that Ryutaro have many unreleased songs and maybe he could release some solo album to give to us the personal work and feelings him between all these years with Plastic Tree band.
Then today we have「デも／demo」release that is incredible work from him. Like my last review, i will comment every song and then overall and sorry if i commit some wrongs in English.
Let’s to review.
01 - 幻形テープ／genkeitêpu
Like a intro, genkeitêpu just bring piano and one deep atmosphere that remains between all time. The great point it's when Ryutaro introduce the mini-album with own title of release and then come a lively atmosphere which resembles the birth of the release.
02 - 浮融／fuyuu
The fuyuu song impressed everyone in the first preview from the release on youtube. That gave a good impression with what could be 「デも/demo」. Yes, its a shoegaze song, awesome with all details including the PV and reminds so much the 13th Friday song traces.
Fuyuu is lovely to me. But isn't my favorite song and i should to admit that its so deep with a explosion of feelings since the guitar intro until the mixing of all instruments with the Ryutaro's voice. The song already start like the main chorus by the way that Ryutaro start express himself quickly that is interesting thing to me, if its a song with elements from the shoegaze. In every minute the listener dream with all the feelings that fuyuu brings that is relaxing and wonderful song, i have sure that Ryutaro worked so much to production and composition of fuyuu. He knew that would surprise fans that would be the favorite song for many fans, that is real fact today. That's a reason that he knows how work with shoegaze songs that is really catchy to fans, i have sure that he will explore this to next releases.
03 - 魔似事／manegoto
Managoto song just break the atmosphere of fuyuu. Enjoyable and simple is how i define this song. Its a plus with the video music that bring the beauty and photography of some scenes. I think that is the begin of "musical identity" of Ryutaro on mini-album. Enjoyable songs to a public that know him only with plastic tree songs.
04 - また、堕月さま／mata,otsukisama
I can say that is a continuation of manegoto. The same style and more enjoyable and sweet (Melancholic) with pure feelings and between manegoto and mata,otsukisama i prefer mata, otsukisama. Like a better version of manegoto that's makes me think "these songs are just one song (?)", this i will never know. In fact there a similarity that convinces me to did this question. Anyway, mata, otsukisama is one of my favorite songs.
05 - うフふ／ufufu
Another break in mini-album, that reminds Hakusei release that have something like that in the end of album. I dont know why he did this but i felt a little bored. Just a snippet from fuyuu song like a background with mix of other sounds.
06 - 猫夢／nekoyume
The second high of release is nekoyume. The song is great and isn't something new from the last releases of Plastic tree unfortunately. Nekoyume is the song that i listen so often, i dont know why exactly.... Maybe is because is a exciting song and expressive that makes me feel better. The video music isn't something new, the way is the same in Rakka release of Plastic tree. I have to confess that i think that Nekoyume is a copy of Rakka lol (Like born this way to Express yourself of madonna).
07 - 鍵時計／kagidokei
For me this song is a pray from Ryutaro. Very expressive of simplicity like a poem, this impress me so much in kagidokei that the second song that i love in mini-album. Once more time Ryutaro show the real personal songs that impress me with the voice him. This is so visible in the video music too, the scenes are lovely in black and white that gave the perfect harmony to song.
08 - 恋ト幻／rentogen
Finally the best song to me, rentongen is the true identity of Ryutaro songs. The clean voice of him between the electro beats that is perfect in my opinion. Again i felt the best feelings in video music that gave to me the best definition about rentongen. First i saw Ryutaro without make up with a sad expression and anguish, many times i could saw too the deep eyes him with inexplicable feelings. I saw many times a certain restlessness incluiding when he is blind in some scenes.
That's makes me think: many songs unfinished and rentongen is a diamond that he worked so good to be the last song. My fav song definitely!
AC. Ver
The acoustic songs are very good to a extra content, to me are perfect versions. Some looks no different from the original (should be due little digital manipulation in the songs). Ryutaro wanted to show both side of songs, because this he included the AC Versions and of course give to us a full work to first solo release.
Overall:
「デも／demo」is definitely a good start to solo career, the content is very complete with all details and production. The physical CD's give to us the best art content and musically. This is a reason to be expensive to have all versions, Ryutaro had to create the almost all stuff. The ideas from him was good to every song and PV's and he had all freedom to do that (without pressure of label) and he did some comments on Twitter about every song and how he tried finish and the production details.
About the similarity of some songs of Plastic Tree.... I have an answer: He is the vocalist and the members do what they like, including the ideas. Many years in Plastic tree band that to have own style take some time or maybe this is the own style that Plastic Tree just use to represent the band.
To me 「デも／demo」 is one the best release in this year. Was unexpected, daring to own Ryutaro, impressive in some moments and lovely in others. Mainly complete in every detail. This is our「デも／demo」.
Bem eu entrei no monochrome heaven em Julho desse ano, eu nunca cheguei a me apresentar no fórum até pq eu nem sabia, acho que já esta muito em cima da hora. Mas gosto de Vk em geral é raro ter alguma coisa que não goste, inclusive a tão amada the gazette hsuahsa. Mas tbm gosto de j-rocks e alguns pops. E meu nome realmente é Haniel gosto de tocar guitarra, mesmo não sendo muito bom
麗麗 -reirei is already known on this forum. But I still think not known enough, even after a little member change this band is still amazing.
I really like their rock upbeat sound mixed with lot's of traditional sounds. Also the voice of the vocalist is strong and beautiful. Easy to like easy to listen too.
