Derp to quote Bear's previous February topic (I hope you won't mind this one, eh?) : Go go! (will post mine later)

I like how Bonjour Suzuki finally showed herself here song's not bad either.

important (eternal) MH reminder: Speaking of which, I really hope Ruki gets some time for vocal coaching - seeing as every new Gazette album degrades his vocal range by 1/2 octave-wise (take BD and compare it to NIL for instance)

Okay, good news - Namie Amuro's gonna hit us with a new album "_genic." (inb4 Björk fans) on June 10! I might as well blatantly quote Arama's Ronald here: FINALLY someone from J-pop scene is ready to depart from EDM trendbanging, yay! Speaking of latest j-pop miracles, why no one mentioned the fact that Mito Natsume (that short-banged, currently trending Kyary v.2) has 11 PVs for one song only?!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjVdFW16-zuELvfT46d6hhA/videos+ anime PV which she deleted for some reason (it's still on YT tho)

Hint: GazettE is not the trendsetter of artificial harmonic-ridden nyuumetaru breakdowns (cannot blame those who associate such riffs with FITB's legen-"DUNDUNWHEEDUNDUNWHEE"-dary climax tho) Dickery aside, Yohio is reaching new low with this one - but that's what our community's harping on for *years* so I am not gonna go any further with this euro-kei nonsense

Oops - thx for notifying, cat! ^^; (guess twitter users trolled me with "Killmister"-links...)

Melt-Banana wrote a new song called "Halo Of Sorrow From Animation" as a 2nd ep ending song (reminder: just for 1 episode only!) for a new anime called "Ninja Slayer From Animation" (from the creators of Kill la Kill (TRIGGER)) The first episode is set to be premiered on April 16th (weekly release = MB's song will be premiered on 23rd, I think?) through Nico Nico Douga, and the 1st episode ED will be a new song from Boris, "Kill Mister". it's yet unknown whether they will carry on with constantly changing ED songs or not). The main theme of the show will be Boom Boom Satellites' "BACK IN BLACK", and the OST in general will be composed and arranged by electro DJ Shinichi Osawa. Melt-Banana's "new look" for the said promo (?): Trailer (with Boom Boom Satellites' song) Other details will be available soon... Source: natalie.mu, Ninja Slayer's promo site (http://www.ninjaslayer-animation.com/)' Ps. is it me or did Boris song leak much earlier tho...?

Umbreon (nothing wrong with pokemon, eh?)

Classic song, touchy performance all of my feels

I'd have ewwed at "The Inferno" instead

Shiina news/"rumors" (for now) ed. XX: Kronekodow's mole (who predicted the release dates for Shiina's Toutaikai, Reimport and Sunny) informs that Shiina will have a new song out...as an anime movie tie-in. More info will be available soon... >Keep an eye on baidu/other possible Shiina stanbases. edit: BOOM! Teaser for a new Ringo track... (Ringo Expo 14 version mentioned below is linked @previous comment ) info:

Yoshers pretty much acts like Ulrich during his Napster scandal-o-ganza rofl also, to nitpick: fun fact: I striked thru Tomomi seeing as she is not really a relevant, "big" powerhouse in terms of vk business sales (Thirsty CEO-obaa-san of management company vs. Don Corleone of Japanese vk-related music label business, really?) Not to mention the fact that PS lobbyists were trying too much in terms of hiding PSC's subsidiary connections to Free-Will (so you might as well say that PSC ~is~ Free-Will from unprofessional perspective + PS lobbyists managed to delete any allusions to TBS articles (fans are still confused btw) + company details on PSC ever since 2007) PSC stans might go out of their way and side with lobbyists by calling bullshit on my comments but hey, it's a normal practice when record labels spin management companies as well, eh? (e.g. Avex) /off-topic/

I am not sure whether this video is okay to lump in here (seeing as the band in question is rather "borderline indie" atm): New Gesu no Kiwami Otome PV Your good ol' band of very cool tricks and frills but...lousy choruses (sorry, just demonstrating my love-hate relationship here lol) Apparently they are gonna remake one of their "known" songs ("funky version", wat) for their future single, so cross your fingers if you are into this band Also, new BDC is way too basic

^ohoh o_o eipä tommosesta ole tullut kuultua jo moneen vuoteen täälläpäin! (kun "j-rokkibuumi" kerran ehtyi jo vuosikymmenvaihdoksen aikana) Oispa suomiteemaista* jiirumusiikkia ollut enemmän esillä (no onhan meillä niitä tiettyjä suomikikkelihevareita mukailevia jiiruja mallia Galneryus ja Matenr...ohohups ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) niin idea olisi ollut erittäin intresantti... *tämä ja kaikki muu tässä lauseessa mainittu on läppää, jic

^ Uhm, oh well - it's just that I hoped they would favor this kind of route instead: http://fuckyeahystk.tumblr.com/post/115669465327 Full version of 2nd A-side "Relax in the City" - reminds me a lot of Capsule's much older repertoire, a la debut album (Sakura, anyone?) Will get on that new Ayu album someday as well (albeit the obvious single infestation a.k.a new j-pop release syndrome since 2k10)

That actually reminds me How would 'Phenomenon' live sound without those *NIN-y* synthesizers (seeing as they are still used to minimize their playback usage ever since '06)? I think they've used programmed BGM a lot more on Arche than on DSS (e.g. Tousei's BGM, Kuukoku, Revelation's chorus and so on) edit: okay, I don't think acoustic guitars in DS lives are counted as "playback minimization", lol.

Ohh, beni put this up in here already 8D In this case I might return the favor and say that Perfume comparison was a bit rude, considering the fact that Charisma girls have no need to be some dancing marionettes of a hipster producer :V

I am really curious about Jazztronik and Studio Apartment (Bossa remix of Secret Garden or Redemption, PLS)

If you were used to frequent plug sessions earlier or so on, you might remember me playing stuff from her once in a while Her only "promo look" btw Japanese Chara-meets-cokiyu-y indie pop/ambient (?) newcomer Bonjour Suzuki will release her debut full-length "Sayonara, Mada Raise de" on 15/4, and will include mostly her already released tracks from her previous 2015 mini, and her YT channel + a couple of new tracks. Album cover: You can give her digest trailer + a few tracks I linked a try after a jump, or ofc visit her channel (mentioned above) for more: digest Tracklist: 01. はやく行かなくちゃ。 02. 甘い声でちくってして 03. アゲハ蝶の破片とキミの声 04. 禁断のショコラ 05. 私こぶたちっく 06. キミと恋したいのです 07. stand by for me 08. allo allo 09. 羊曜日に猫ごっこして 10. 月の下でパーティー 11. Je ne sais pas pourquoi 12. PM9:55 13. あの森で待ってる（おやすみ version） Source: natalie.mu

Full PV The song's quite awesome btw! Itsuka and Gonchi look lovely as well <3

Watered down Black Keys song pt. 2

I don't think TW folks have forgotten your pissing habits either, Will (mind explaining how "cheap af" (for instance) is productive and solution-oriented as a comment?)

Uroko PV might not be definitely their best one but man, DEG fanboys are way too choosy these days when they go with futile "hate everything, suggest nothing"-kind of commenting ("hurrr this is cheap af") Lotus, STU and DS were hella cheaper than those two and veteran fanboys (smh) didn't even hiss at them at all (?!) Positive thinking #1: Hiroyuki Kondo (trivia: staple director for DEG PVs) definitely stepped up his game with a few nods to his earlier Visual Trap works on Uroko and whatnot edit: for those who are interested in Kondo's /his studio's current works: http://blog.livedoor.jp/vt01kondo/ (the last update was during mid-2014 btw)

I like how people are actually taking this seriously despite the fact that there's a very comic-looking, almost April Fools-worthy and out-of-place (at least according to (non-existing) nordic vk standards) mustachio member (unless Yohio is legitly really desperate for some sweet vk relevance - guess Nippon music business voyage didn't work out well?)...I am siding with ryuujii's statement
