Wow, just...wow. You all must be so proud of yourselves for these posts. Bullying is so cool, right? The person you're all talking shit about has stated multiple times that they already feel bad enough about the way they feel about these sorts of things and here you guys are. What if they read this? What if they feel even worse because of this, will you feel proud if you managed to make someone feel bad about themselves, someone who didn't in any form or manner hurt you? Someone who did not deserve this?
 
Any form of bullying will not be tolerated on this forum. Anyone who continues will receive the appropriate punishment. Stay on topic from now on.

I spent my near years eve going to the cinema with my girl watching The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, then went home for some beers before we left to the stable to take care of the animals there. Well, my girlfiend did most of the work while I spent my time there cuddling with the three ponies and the cat. Those ponies are the cutest animals ever.
 

lovin' those microsoft powerpoint transition effects
 
only sample I liked was the one after Red Carnation, the rest sounded kind of bland imo.

Maybe HITORIE would be a good place to start? Really catchy stuff and the vocalist is not high-pitched at all.

sigh. lets just say that while neither a complete lack of moderation nor obsessive micromanagement on the part of the mods is a very pleasant thing, striking a balance between the two is an unenviable job. so, let us help them by exercising some self-discretion/censorship, especially if you're the kind who take offense more easily than most and are aware that the thread is likely to contain content that will offend you.
it's not possible for the mods to keep everyone happy, but it is possible for you to not give others a chance to annoy you.

Nekkichi predicted this I'm fucking crying omg
 
That looks so great though, but I think it's overpriced, even for the regular edition. I think I'll pass on this.

I DID NOT EXPECT NICK OF ALL CHANNELS TO GO WITH THIS BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT THEY DID

Charisma.com is nothing like idol-culture (pretty sure MC Itsuka would have your head if she heard you say this lmao). If there's anything they don't like, it IS idol-culture. And it's not household problems they rap about, it's about issues that plague Japanese society as a whole. I wouldn't judge this book by its cover, because you'll be pleasantly surprised.

thanks for your invaluable input as always.

Their best album to date! Overall good, but had some flaws. Some good, some bad. Average album. Below average. Too strange / try hard. Only liked a few tracks. It sucks. Makes for a nice coaster for my beer though.  
What the hell are you complaining about?

ONE OK ROCK isn't a band that does anything special, but I do consider them one of the few mainstream artists that actually manage to captivate me from time to time. I don't like allof  their songs, but each album has a vast selection of catchy, fun songs for me to enjoy. Mighty Long Fall was a great track that I felt like was a bit outside of their regular comfort zone. I don't mind if a band plays a more generic sound as long as they do it well. That's why I do have to agree with Hellion on MEJIBRAY. MEJIBRAY brings absolutely nothing new to the table, and that wouldn't really be so bad if the execution of it wouldn't be so poor. Their riffs aren't all that special, the vocalist I consider absolutely terrible and the songs don't even sound that different. Of course that's my opinion, I just never understood how people managed to listen to their vocalist for more than 10 seconds without wanting to rip their headphones off.

Maybe yeh. Your language and tone are a bit crass, and possibly offensive. So I'd recommend toning it down a bit.

Having an incredible musical allergy against all things Vocaloid-related, Hitorie shows that having Vocaloid roots does not always equal terrible taste. In fact, I'm going to be as bold as to say that Hitorie basically dropped the best indie-rock album of 2014.

WONDER and WONDER is the band's debut album, after their incredibly solid first single and mini-album. The bar for this album was thus set incredibly high, yet I was not worried that this album would disappoint me the second they dropped the music video and the previews. If you're not into Ling Toshite Sigure because of TK and the shrill noises, Hitorie is the band for you.

Hitorie's vocalist has a very pleasant voice. He's not the best vocalist but he's incredibly well in synch with the rest of his band. Hitorie's strength lies in their own sound. Despite being a very young band, they have thoroughly established their own sound, a sound that is similar to other bands but still has something quite unique about it that makes you say "this is Hitorie!". Their combination of diverse melodies and catchy hooks makes them one of the best newcomers of the year.

WONDER and WONDER is a showcase of everything Hitorie has to offer. The album is mostly made up of upbeat songs, but they differ a lot from eachother despite all executing the same signature sound. Hitorie found their formula, but isn't afraid to experiment within their formula instead of constantly churning out the same exact song as some other bands tend to do. From the incredibly well done ballad 癖 to the minimal なぜなぜ and the fun upbeat 我楽多遊び, this band shows a lot of different sides of itself. There was not a single song on this album that I did not like or  considered average. The second half of the album is better than the first half in my opinion, but in general the quality is good throughout the entire album.

What also makes this album so good is that it's fun. It makes you want to get out of your chair and dance along to the incredibly catchy tunes.

While this review might not be as in-depth as those of the Review squad, I do hope I've managed to make you at least a tiny bit interested in this album. It's just a fantastic album from start to finish and I can hardly find any flaws. I don't rate albums five starts often, but when I do, it's Hitorie.
 

Final verdict: - It's just that good.

Have some people on here that are in their twenties honestly not reached the maturity level yet where they see that posting comments like these in threads of bands they do not like is unproductive. Black Gene does not hurt you in any way by simply existing. Besides, as comes from our general guidelines:
 
 
It's really not that hard. Let fans be disappointed and at least elaborate on why you feel like they should disband instead of "pls disband kthnxbai". I've seen this shit happen a lot more often lately and I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on it. Ye have been warned.
