FOSCOR70

I don't give a shit about X Japan. I've never listened to them and I have no desire to start.

i firmly believe every single story posted on tanuki is true even when they contradict w/ other stories posted on there

My favorite bandman suddenly called me for dinnering together once i was traveling to a distand land to see them lol 

I don't believe the shit on tanuki but I still read it and imagine how the rumour/story came about. It's like reading a book that gives me all sorts of reactions like "no he didn't!" 

I used to do that every now and again, but I think I eventually got sick of reading it because I didn't like to think of my favourite musicians like that even if I never believed a word of it. I dunno, maybe my mental constitution's weak in that area? Either way, it's a curious subject.

ooo exciting thread😏
 
I regularly lurk tanuki and judge everyone

OK so...
 
-After branching out of from diru, fellow diru fans and myself of the past makes me cringe.
-i find Fan service disturbing.
 
peace~

I'm putting together some of my favorite B-Sides by dadaroma. Watch this space. 

Diru's  'arche' has many songs with kyo's great falsetto in them like soshaku and you can also check out his sukekiyo band.

Dir en grey
D.i.d.   (personal favourite)
Dimlim
Anathema 
Tk for ling toshe toshire
Fear and loathing in Vegas
 
Majority of power metal, glam metal, traditional heavy metal and symphonic metal band vocalists uses falsetto a lot too, for example rob halford, king diamond etc
 
Also Google search for 'singers who sing like girls'. You'll get awesome results, no joke.

Rentrer En Soi, maybe
 
Rentrer En Soi - Amongst Foolish Enemies (English Sub)

Damn i mixed up the names, i was talking about 'Keigaku no Yoku' being the best track from the album not 'Zetsuentai'.
 
Keigaku no Yoku is the only track which got stuck in my head after first listen, other one is ranunculus. 
 
All the other tracks sounds all over the place.

BUCK-TICK released a VHS tape called "MORE SEXUAL!!!!!" in February 1988,  containing music vids for these songs:
 - SEXUAL XXXXX!
 - DREAM OR TRUTH
 - HYPER LOVE
 - EMPTY GIRL
 - ILLUSION
 - MY EYES & YOUR EYES
 
D'ERLANGER released a VHS titled "an aphrodisiac" in October 1989, containing music vids for these songs:
 - LA VIE EN ROSE
 - LULLABY
 - an aphrodisiac
 - INDECENT-TWO-PERSONS
 
These are the oldest I can think of.

Afaik all their official uploads stuff is on this channel

It def is a grower...same with Keibetsu. The only track I cant fuck with is Devote my life. Its been a minute since I could call a Dir en grey song legitimately bad but this take the cake. Rest of the album just slaps. There's way too many bangers do say otherwise and the energy/song writing surpasses that of ARCHE by milestones. 
 
Also Zetsuentai deserves its spot as one of the top 5 Dir en grey songs ever. Fight me.

The Global Music General Discussion is enough as it is I reckon, since even that sub section hardly gets any traffic and I don't think a new section with individual band threads would help it any. The taste disparity in non-japanese music here is quite large, and the disparity in knowledge is even greater so it's not really conductive to fruitful or active conversation. The metal and goth post-punk threads work because it's kinda close the vkei anyways so there are more than one user who knows a thing or two and obviously the selfless efforts of people like bear to keep them active help as well. With literally anything else it's a variety of users coming from different musical cultures with different backgrounds so anyone who actually knows something is just going to end up spamming by him or herself. The worst scenario, and a very likely one knowing this board, is that some idiot starts making individual threads for every single shitty local band or hidden gem and then we have a section clogged with shite no one cares about, so in light of all of this I think it's sufficient as it is.

I seem to be a massive advocate for them but Radwimps, or the solo project 'illion'
I'd say Radwimps are a lot more accessible
 
 
 
Mrs green apple are worth trying out as well
 

one of THE most #comfy bands ever in my humble onion

I'd recommend Acid Black Cherry, Gotcharocka, The Sound Bee HD, Diaura and Hollowgram have mostly clean vocals too...

Check it out. The mix is called "Pure" and is built around the ideas of inner-peace, happiness, and self-reflection. Some of the older vkei vocals are rough around the edges, but there's some more contemporary(ish) songs thrown into the mix with better vocals. Hope this scratches the itch!
 
pure

Umbrella for fucking sure

Really always enjoyed Moran's single/album covers. I love their L'oiseau blue single and their All Time Best album covers.
 
 
Also thought of Kagrra's last album. Beautiful and enticing to look at its duality theme (between the two different versions).
 
 

Composer and professional procraXtinator YOSHIKI will score the soundtrack for the 4th installment in Vin Diesel's "xXx" movie franchise. He will also be composing a theme song for the film which is currently in pre-production, with casting being underway and shooting to start later this year.
 
According to a recent press conference he will also do a cameo in the movie itself. An "xXx" TV series is also in the works, with YOSHIKI being one of the producers (he will be scoring the soundtrack for that one too).
 
No word yet about the X JAPAN album of course.
