    I wonder how many of us actually would just romanize the band names if not for last.fm... I feel like that at least factors in how some of us do our tagging.

    ... yeah, last.fm is the main reason that I [try to] tag things as accurately as possible. I kinda miss being able to use these ･･･ ellipses for Japanese titles (灰降る丘･･･ vs. 灰降る丘…), and using “” instead of "" - and I also miss romanising katakana English titles (e.g: パノラマ → Panorama). Oh, and the half-width hook quotes ｢　｣! And of course, I will consider removing a band from my iTunes library if I have to tag the artist field with annoying full-width U N I C O D E for last.fm reasons. :lol:

    Of course, even before last.fm, I still spent a lot of time tagging/organising my music library, just for my own sake.

    I have a considerable grasp for kanji, as I've spent several years picking a few things up here and there, and I've also made the effort to learn and memorise both kana systems (hiragana/katakana). As somebody who wants to learn Japanese, I absolutely despise romaji and tend to discourage people from using it.

    So here's what I do (in iTunes): kanji for the song titles (別レ日和ハ仄カニ染マル), use the sorting fields to put in romanisations (e.g: Sort name: Wakare Biyori Wa Honoka Ni Somaru; Sort artist: Kiryu; Sort album: 2011-03-02 Mugen Houyou), just so the songs/bands can be better ordered alphabetically, and albums sorted by date. And if there is a track title with kanji that I don't understand, I put the title in hiragana/katakana in the lyrics section (e.g: ワカれビヨリはホノかにソまる). That's what works for me!

    I used to try and do english translations in the title, but now that's something that I just sort of keep in my head, or I'll also put it in the lyrics section as well.

    I just signed up for last.fm a few weeks ago, as many of you may know, so if the site died or ended, I would just regret putting all the time into the site that I have. I've spent a lot of time trying to make sure I have a way to get everything scrobbled, which means I had to hunt for iPhone apps, and I've spent money on them too (only to stop using them all because of my stubborn iPhone not registering metadata changes coupled with last.fm not making a very simple artist title correction), I've spent some time uploading album artwork (it's a graphic design related obsession), I've been going through my entire iTunes library, re-tagging some of my music to make sure everything in there matches something that's already in the last.fm database... I could have spent all of that time doing other, more productive things, honestly.

    Don't know if anyone's mentioned these guys (or even heard of them), but I'm really into DEAD IN THE MANGER. They are anonymous, they don't even title their songs, and I wouldn't be surprised if their physical releases didn't have any lyrics written down, all to let the music speak for itself. They have been described as having a "blackened grindcore" sound, with influences of other types of extreme metal.

    They just released their second mini album a few days ago called "Cessation," and here is one of the songs from that mini:

    I'm starting to loose faith in D.I.D. . Even though I love them dearly, i'm loosing faith.

    I can see why you are, but I'm really trying not to give up on them. I'm still hopeful that a release date for Fatal Error Race will be seen.

    Last summer, I checked out their album i'mperfect. Fell in love with Metamorphose, and thought the rest of the album was really cool. But after one listen, I didn't really go back to it, as I directed my attention to other bands that were releasing new stuff, primarily in VK.

    ...

    Yesterday, I downloaded their Best of Tornado compilation and the Who What Who What single. Listened through the compilation (well, not really listening, but previewing the songs in quick look), and my interest went through the roof. I gotta say though, I'm disappointed that they didn't include a remaster of Ling on the second CD. :(

    Today, I listened to the compilation a few times. I am officially sold on this band! So far, I'm really digging Metamorphose, Missing Ling, テレキャスターの真実, 傍観, and I was music (also, funny name). However, I agree that WWWW wasn't too memorable. I guess the next album for me to check out is #4.

    Also, does anyone know of any specific release dates of the following releases?

    - #1

    - として

    - 鮮やかな殺人

    曲・詞：イチノセチアキ

     

    ぼくはくずいな　ぼくはてんし！

    ぼくはくず　きみはいぬ　あすはねこ

    ゆめはゆめいな　ぼくはへんさ

    ぼくはへん　きみもへん　あすもへん

    ゆめがへんいな　ぼくはてんし

    ぼくはゆめをみた　きみがわらってないた

    ぼくはゆめをみた　きみがわらってないだ

    ぼくはゆめをみた　きみがわらってないた

    ぼくはゆめをみた　きみがわらってないだ

    「気持ち良くない朝に僕は変になる･･･」

    「殺したくもないのにまたあいつを殺す･･･」

    「殺すんだ･･･」

    　　　　　　　　　　　ぼくはすぐいな　ぼくはてんし！

    This is how I found the lyrics!

    No, I don't have a copy/rip of this, I can't afford a copy.

    Yes, I'm bitter that this ONE song is so expensive

    It seems that a common complaint about ARCHE is that it's scattered, and maybe it's because of the tracklist arrangement?

    I came up with this:

    and Zero

    Un deux

    咀嚼

    鱗

    Phenomenon

    Chain repulsion

    Cause of fickleness

    Midwife

    Sustain the untruth

    てふてふ

    懐春

    禍夜想

    濤声

    Behind a vacant image

    輪郭

    空谷の跫音

    And then Revelation of mankind would be a single with The inferno as a b-side.

    Here's artwork from their OHP, since saving pics from ameblo can be a difficult process:

    Am I the only one that thinks they look less old-skool than usual?

    Also, agreeing with @Bear that ¥864 is not super cheap for a one-track

     

    In VK? I don't remember seeing an album less than 3000 for a very long time... but maybe it's bands that I don't listen to.

    MERRY's NOnsenSe MARkeT - ¥2,592

    DIAURA's Triangle - ¥1,979

    I bought the gift card from japan codes and it was actually a lot cheaper than on offgamers!

    Wait, what?

    ... *goes to check Japan Codes*

    WOW! They lowered their prices! Their cards used to be a lot more expensive. Thank you for mentioning that you got the card from Japan Codes.

    Edited the main post to update the section on gift code shops. Japan Codes is now the best pick.

    "Touhou music" involves "re-arrange songs" (i.e. covers) of music from the Touhou Project video game series. All of the music is composed by ZUN. It's not official Touhou music. All of this is fan-work, so it is part of the Doujin music scene (non-official, self-published, sold at Japanese comic conventions, or doujin specific stores such as the evil MelonBooks).

    I don't know much about the Touhou series, so I can't explain the scantily-clad animu girls that are on all the album jackets. My guess, it's probably just a general doujin music thing?

    空谷の跫音 is better than most lyric videos; there's actual video footage and it's on the minimalistic side. Whereas in a typical run-of-the-mill metal lyric video, there's some graphic in the background that's shaking (or some other stupid moving effect) and the lyrics almost ALWAYS fly in and also shake (and sometimes more stupid effects)... like those FUCKTURNAL BUTTLUST lyric videos...
