^ LM.C recording something good? Don't count on it! This is LM.C we're talking about, they'll never do anything good.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is acor's 梟 cover, and maybe the re-recording of ZERO.

yall don't count out pelican's cover of mizuiro girlfriend its gonna BOP

the People in the Box cover might actually be good too, who knows

hell, even Laruku lol I can actually see the br00tal youngsters going 'whos larc en ciel'

they know who they are because of full metal alchemist 

@Tokagemost of western SiD stans turn theirs back on them when they realased theirs 3rd album "Play" theirs sound become more poppy, most of theirs olds fans miss more when their fusion jazz-funk songs than the brootal songs.

@nekkichi they are still under Ki/oon Music since they become major band in 2008 and I don't think they have problems with them, the fall of their popularity began when Mao had  serious throat problems

I'm never in my life leaving this forum #ebmortlives

I have screenshots of the whole thing if anyone wants to see~ #iwasthere

@midi:nette ~wink~

yikes. both of those were one-mans? I thought they could at least fill up LIQUIDROOM

in my case, they just got too repetitive and boring. their music was good for one album, two at best, but then I didn't feel like listening to them anymore. sad to see how far down they went

Well, they were outside Tokyo (Okayama and Maebashi), so that could be a part of it but...

They're still my favorite and I appreciate their consistency, but I definitely get how they could get repetitive! Though in recent albums, they've begun to experiment some more, so you should totally try em' out again : )

oh, makes more sense. still unfortunate regardless.

I've actually been trying to give their newest album a chance! it sounds relatively from what I remember. gonna give it a few more spins eventually

“Ark”.... that is all I have to say about that.

Dune >>>>>>>>

TIERRA it is!

ummm i think u mean ''itunes''

i'm sorry sir, what's an ""itunes""

i dont know......

I didn't hear anything about ayu, but I don't follow her, so idk. It's hard to imagine she's retire as well lol

I'll miss Namie so much.  Though it is sorta funny her final tour was called "finally."  😂

@God I like her even more for that lmao she truly wanted to be over with it all

*sho groans in a closet*

stream NAZARE on Spotify™

Vanitas is a new thing but there's a story behind aizou ni tsuki...
Last December at the Metal Square event (Cazqui and Daichi's last live with Nokubura) they had really bad technical difficulties when they were about to play aizou, and since DIMLIM doesn't MC, Sho had to find a way to stall so he did an acapella version with Retsu making ambiance  with his guitar while Hiroshi was trying to fix shit but they couldn't recover in the end.

Pretty much that version of aizou is exactly what he did that day (plus adding in some yelling of "gomennasai" and other words of frustration) , though to be honest I'm kinda surprised they recorded it and released it. While Sho did a great job coming up with that shit on the spot and following through to the end, but that was NOT a good day for the band.

Maybe putting it on CD was a way for them to come to terms with happened that day, idk I can't say, but I do agree it's awkward to listen to. I think they should've added a little guitar at least.

thank you my kawaii tomodachi!

@saishuu

gee, never thought I would be the one to yell TMI

does that old non-jrocker still jack off on his carpet???

ayyyyyyy

For the anxious like me:

@RickBuch you are great. thank you

never denied it tbh

*listens to this breathy mess half-once*

reported x

i've already downloaded it illegally, thanks x

only good song on that tragic farewell album tbh

(I'm drowning in flashbacks of VK livejournal defending their change in style and like umm not even sorry sweaties 30 years later this album is still as tragic as freshly new back than)

yessss bless, i've been trying to give the albums a fair shot these days but they remain bland as hell. this song slaps tho

I know I should feel ashamed of myself but, although I did tried them a lot, what @Peace Heavy mk II says is literally what keeps me liking-but-not-so-much their stuff tbh

Awesome!!!

This is the one making me nostalgic (timestamped for maximum badassery)

love love love the MONSTER tour and this performance in particular! 2006 was a good year to like and follow B'z

that's not funny.

haters will say this is bad and put on yumeleep

Talent wins

HAPPY birthday fitear <3 <3 <3

Have a happy birthday!

Thanks everyone!

Interesting vocal quality too. Thanks for sharing, bruh!

This is naaaaaisu! *cough*RT-tier*cough*

perhaps, cat-san... perhaps...

soan project with akuta is giving me tha right vibes so far, but i miss miss miss miss miss hayato so damn much

deer god take asagi instead, i need multifrequency god-tier chanteuse back

Hayato's voice or whatever effect he was using was so bad by the end that it's hard for me to miss his voice tbh ):

honestly you have no heart!!

Please don't ever place PIERROT and mejibray in the same sentence ever again.

Thanks.

Fucking love PIERROT. Legends.

@zombieparadiseTRUE FACT.

We really should discus on how GREAT guitar solo on Masque.

How It remind me of II-Kaigi.

I agree, that guitar solo on Masque was god like haha. All the mini album was very good! I felt like listening to an old record by Nogod haha. I agree with you saishuu, their best in a long time!

Also, it's fun to see other fellows that enjoy NoGod! Cheers guys!

that guitar solo in Masque was fantastic! it went on forever but it was so worth it. when I thought it was over, Kyrie just kept going lmao he is a beast when he wants to.

I knew they wouldn't disappoint me with a mini-album (Rashinban remains their best work ever) and I'm really happy with how Shingeki came out.

I don't know any of thse

penicillin wasn't in this, so i doubt you'd know talent

One of the best oshare bands ever tbh.

Other than Charlotte and PANIC*ch, no one ever came even close to them.

My soul soared out of the abyss with this one.

huh? why bring NoGoD into a post about western pop music?

So I see new nogod singles post and you posting this status

I asume you're already listen to it, and I though you're commenting on that single, not about this western pop music.

...ok?

SUGGESTIONS - Downtempo Metalcore
Mary's Blood - Power Metal

Rokugen Alice - Melodic Power/Gothic Metal, reminding myself of this awesome band

Hayashibara Megumi - only the songs from Slayers anime series

five months old - a doujin Progressive Metalcore band who plays re:arrangements of aikatsu songs.

FIESTAR, i know its not japanese, but its korean, and i only listen to one song, Apple Pie, cant get this goddamn song out of my head and when i start playing it its on for 2-3 hours nonstop.

the cibo, monoqlopanda, CRAZY VODKA TONIC, and quite a bit of Lucie, Too

Two others with no association whatsoever which I've been listening to on YT: 

Hideaki Tokunaga b/c Rainy Blue is my ritual

Kamiboku *cough* Mafumafu *cough* is a fun (and angst filled, lol) listen. 

Mostly stuff from the Guruguru Brain label; Kikagaku Moyo, Minami Deutsch, Sundays & Cybele and Dhidalah.

Some aren't similar, but recommendations are: Blue Lemonade, Talk to Me, Peek-a-Boo, Hit That Drum, Power Up, Russian Roulette. 

thanks everyone for the recs! I'll give them a shot asap

except for @Peace Heavy mk II, you can rot

Let's also not forget the underrated pioneers, Guruguru Eigakan. Anyone with knowledge of the Hirajoshi scale will easily hear that in their music. 

no, I'm talking about Kagrra, only here, make your own status

Maybe I will!
