If it's about loud masterings, all B. P. records catalogue from 2015 onwards. Kiryu's "Irodori" makes me regret liking them (not actually, maybe?). But I was about to make a joke about bad music ;-;

Ironically for me, a lot of early Kiryu stuff rather than later Kiryu stuff. Mostly because their early stuff (especially on Shuugetsu Heika) were engineered with too much treble, and ripped in low quality. 

DEG's Schwein no Isu, like all the Rammstein songs, bring more pain to my ears than whatever in my life... nothing has beaten that at all...

yeah not much has been upp'd so dl whatever, tbh everything they've done is pretty much solid

i haven't heard much from them but i thought 少女地獄 was pretty good

alright i'm gonna just wing it and try out some random stuff, thx yall

Do you follow them lately

did you saw?

did not know about that! only knew about the one single & EP that came out earlier (either this year or last year? i forgot when)

also good news for you I guess

I agree, idk if mannequin was a good choice 😕

It kind of replaced all the WeIrD aNd ZaNy parts and made them edgy. They did a good job at adapting it to have two guitar parts, but this isn't my favorite version of the song.

honestly, the main problem with the Mannequin cover is just simply the fact that it's not weird and noisy enough compared to the original, something feels off about the energy

This sounds like it was produced by Sakurai Ao and recorded on the set of Bob's Burgers.

They already have

oh nooooooo

I agree!

i'm honestly completely unable to come up w/ any other bands that did the 'jazzy' sound as well as they did

I've never listened to Sugar, but I've saw More in live, the vocal was pretty good !

I also loved a lot Moran, which had 2 Sugar on it.

Better try sugar !

I'm at 2. jaded forever

i don't know if i should  just blame it on the fact that this year seems rather lacking in terms of stuff i'm actually hype for (both in terms of Japanese music and just generally speaking) or if it's just because i've been digging into older stuff too much

but... this year genuinely does seem to somewhat be lacking in exciting new releases. 2016 and 2017 both had quite a fair amount of good stuff all over the world... i think i havent felt this disconnected from what's going on in the contemporary scene since like.. 2015

totally was not expecting that....

Pretty stoked actually

the genre crossover NOBODY expected, no idea that the other covers are though

yeah i don't know exactly what's up with that whole ''mature'' = ''let's slow everything down'' approach either, i guess having any kind of energy at all is seen as juvenile or something? it doesn't really make sense

it's on the same level of red flag material as a band saying 'our next release will be a return to our roots!'

"return to our roots" should mean that they got lazy and just recycled some old scrapped demos from twenty years ago with some EQing on top. Would probably be a more interesting result.

I hate this too. I'd take a "juvenile" sound over a "mature" one anyday. Just because you've been playing for so long doesn't mean you have to get rid of all your energy. Your music doesn't have to sound elderly and worn out

What about both not-shuuji vocalists

dont exist

MODS

idk new dof was dope

That's a tough one! I think I like them both equally.

These two bands have single-handedly revitalized my interest in 'newer' VK bands.

their first ablum and every single they released still slay rip daisuki

glyceride was fucking hilarious

Sad to hear. I kinda dropped it after around ep 5-6 or so, and never had the will to continue watching. So...yeahhh.

That’s why I’m watching all the 80’s and 90’s horror OVA’s and movies. 

remember when they used to appear in kids' shows in daytime television and the kids were scared of シャラク? good times!

lmao yeah i remember seeing some shit like that... the good videogame boys.... our angles....

i remember his red mustaches... oh god

i miss them...

Mysterious Band. They just vanished off the face of the earth. 

Never heard about Rinda doing art stuff, would love to see that though!

never heard of 'em

They were cool, man

I used to laugh so much at their morning musume medley

they wrote this about me
