@Kabukichoatmidnight Don't worry, people have very polarized opinions on most music on here it seems. I think it's kinda cool that people who have such varying opinions can find some commonality in Jrock as a whole.
 
I for one am stoked for the new album. I think I played ただ　まだ　私 5 times today off YouTube.
 
I'm surprised Rongai Na Ikimono Toshite wasn't going to be on Infinitum though. It sounded amazing when I heard it live, and even the "demo" from Passio sounds great. One of my favorite new songs by them.

We stan 80s Japanese City Pop. 

Wow, you guys are a proper picky bunch aren't you? haha.

Haha so I see. 😛 But what's worse? The samples we've heard that are taken from a new album coming out soon? Or no new album/news from the band at all? Tbh I'm always under the impression with music sometimes an album takes a few listens before you can get fully into it. So even if things sound weird now once you have the album and have listened it through 2/3 times your opinion could completely change? Some albums that are now in my "top albums" I didn't think a lot of on first listen, only through repeat listens started to appreciate how much is going on, what's being played and started getting much more enjoyment from it. Maybe that's just me though. We're all different I suppose.

Not got a problem with K Pop but don't really listen to it. Much prefer J Pop (especially old J Pop from the 70s/80s) but do like Psy just because he's funny over anything else, has a couple of catchy tunes.

Haha with a name like that I'd have expected it to be some low budget, silly, B-movie type film. Sounds interesting though!

As for me, the Tekken anime movie, or Kung Fury, if that counts as a movie? Considering it's only half an hour or so long.... lol.

Am I missing something???
 
Kind of hard to pick favourites as a lot of the songs are so varied, and I like a lot of the songs as "favourites" for different reasons, but maybe this is it for me.... Also just noticed most of the songs I've chosen are all the slower ones.... haha.

That's what I'm talking about, all vk bands should keep us awere of the disbandment in advance.

Wow, you guys are a proper picky bunch aren't you? haha.

Kyo looking more and more like Mastumoto (out!) Hitoshi.

I also emailed them to ask about when this is going to come up for ordering but was told it wouldn't be available through them. Though I also asked about the RAZOR full length and got told the same thing and have seen that's on there to order now.... So who knows? I ordered both through HMV Japan, they ship overseas and you can view the site in English, so that may be your best bet.

Please, whoever going to upload this single, USE THIS AS COVER.

I like that they hand out sick² condoms at lives

japan-discoveries is what you want. You may have already heard of it if you've tracked down Dir's stuff so diligently! But I say "secret" as I haven't seen anyone else mention it on here before.
 
+ You got a link to this flower records page? Again, sounds interesting to check out.

Lol I always was like "Jesus some 14 year old atheist wrote these lyrics XD". Honestly, even for someone who listens to edgy music, I could feeeel the edge in Madman's Esprit songs. Like, Kyuhoo is edgier than an emo kids razor blades LOL

Just had chance to listen to this "Beyond" EP and overall impressions are that it's not terribly special, maybe it'll take some re-listens to get fully into it. Firstly I really enjoyed the original/instrumental version Issei released of "Beyond the lost happiness" a lot more, a lot of the best parts about it have been taken out or simplified.... Also there were a few other songs that at times just got me thinking "what the hell are they doing? How did they even think this was cool?" haha. + The SE mid-way through is pretty bad. I know that probably sounds like I have a really negative opinion of it, but actually I didn't NOT enjoy it, just didn't think it's anything worth raving about and 100% glad I didn't spend the 10,000 yen to get the physical copy. But will give it a couple more listens at some point and see if it grows at all. I'll also admit now I did pre-order the IDEAL single... So yeah, don't totally hate the band or anything obviously. 😛

I still find it sad that he feels the need to apologise for this. It doesn't matter how long after his marriage this came out; it's his life and his business! Poor man.
