Seimeisen

Not really familiar with any of those bands, although I recently downloaded 凛として時雨's most recent album, listened to the sole thing at least once, listened to Metamorphose maybe ten times by now. Might check out some of their other stuff. 01. R指定 - 青春はリストカット 02. The Devil Wears Prada - Hey John, What's Your Name Again? 03. OZ - Ecdysis 04. umbrella - 電脳・少年・スピーカーーー。 05. SCREW - KAIROS 06. Plastic Tree - 幻燈機械 07. Opeth - I Feel The Dark 08. DIR EN GREY - children 09. Bullet For My Valentine - 10 Years Today 10. アンド - つぼみ Some pretty good stuff, not much that I could really say I favour, although I must say that I love the way the TDWP track segues into Ecdysis.

Inter Arma

I found another store that sells Japanese iTunes cards at MUCH better prices: OffGamers

The first run of copies will have a special slipcase. Here's the original artwork: And of course, you can preview/buy EZ L1F3 on レコチョク: http://recochoku.jp/song/S1000516545/

They are, but they're managed by PSC. Also, agreeing with Perez that changing management may not have much impact on Alice Nine's sound, but it seems that everyone likes to blame PSC for everything (and I myself am guilty of this at times). Slightly unrelated, and I never ever Ever EVER thought I would say this about any band in the universe of VK, but I kind of wish Alice Nine would go back to TOKUMA, the label that surprisingly published their best albums.

I start school next week...

I got 17; it's only a little lower than I expected... actually, nvm, it's very close to where I expected it. I feel weird when I get attention, but at the same time, I spend 80% of the time talking about myself and the other 20% hoping someone will give me an opportunity to talk about myself... so yeah, kinda in the middle.

The preview was a little disappointing at first, but after a second/third listen, it's kinda grown on me. Artwork:

The artwork is so beautiful!! It's four pictures that form one great tall tapestry.

Strange that only the standard edition got delayed... Artwork:

The piano part is taken from the intro track to the album GALLOWS. The rest is new.

Really? ...... huh... I always blamed KISAKI. Hated him for it. I know now it's probably just a coincidence that he closed down UNDER CODE and almost all the bands on that label broke up immediately, but at the time, I seriously thought that he was all "If I won't use you to make me money, then NO ONE WILL MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!1 YOU WILL ALL カイサンする!! カイサンしよ!!"

Plastic Tree

MIME: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension There'll be beep-boops and whoosh-y *e-mail sent* noises all over the place. JK, yeah, I looked up マイム on my phone's Japanese dictionary, and the translation is indeed "mime." I think Trombe transliterated it as "Maimu" because it's the reading for 舞夢.

The chorus vocals on 僕ノ自殺理論 sound a bit different from those of the music video preview. Maybe kyoki must have done a last minute retake? Either way, liking everything so far, this is getting me psyched for the mini-album that I keep forgetting about!

I was kinda ready to ignore this band around the time Eclipse came out, but damn, this is a solid single. Even the B-sides are good! By the way, what is the proper way to pronounce the title? Is it ボケツ or ハカーナ？ never mind

I use OpenEmu (cos I got a Mac), which is awesome! The experimental builds support pretty much every past generation console, all in one app. The SNES games all work perfectly, but the N64 games are quite glitchy, especially Donkey Kong 64, that one is glitchy as fuck; but the N64 glitches are a Mupen problem, and that's the only N64 core that OpenEmu uses.

I'm thrilled for the Ｄ機関 album! The SoundCloud preview sounds great. http://vdas.weebly.com/dkkn0002.html

Artwork for blind message: Here we go, more 紅い糸. Anyway... FOCUS was absolutely amazing, possibly my favourite album of 2013, so I hope Triangle is just as awesome, if not, better!

Is it just his voice that you don't like? Or did their entire sound just go downhill?

Out of the six albums from Thousand Leaves, which is a good one to start with? ...assuming anyone here actually listens to doujin bands and could recommend anything from Thousand Leaves at all.
