Hakoniwa

I love that sooonnngg!! My friend translated it into english if you're interested! She sang it live in Shibuya last week too! I was so happy I could watch the stream in real time... My feels, they were all over the place ç_ç
 
I recently found this and it's strangely addicting:
 
 
Awesome video too.

LOL, I'm only half-kidding. I do dig some Kinoko Teikoku, but I am not a big fan of bands compromising their sounds for commercial purposes unless they can pull it off well. I don't think Kinoko did it well, as they almost entirely lost whatever they had going for them imo. Sure, they're still not "bad", but personally, I can only deal with so many "not bad" bands.
 
Also, the new ame no parade single is so incredibly boring. They have such a great sound in general, and I'm very fond of Kohei's voice, but man their songwriting is redundant.

THAT'S BULLYING I'M OUTTA HERE
...
Well, I do. I do need Kinoko Teikoku. ç_ç (I thought the same while reading it, @Original SakuxD)
But that's very nice!! It really is soft. <3 I'm in the mood for that kind of stuff right now, so I wonder if I can easily find something by them.
 
Reminds me of something I've been listening to a lot recently, have you guys heard of the "shikisai compilation"? It's a series of compilations by Kusanone label, and while most are japanese indie bands/artists', I've seen western faces there before. All of those compilations are digitally released for free and you can also listen to it online through their bandcamp. Or you can buy it there too, of course. : D
Anyway, volume 5 was released last month and it sounds lovely. So much potential... you can find infomation on the bands/artists there too as well as links to the previous compilations on the page's bottom. You can find it here: http://kusanone-label.net/shikisaicompilation5/
 
-- Edit --
From their bandcamp page:
 
“shikisai compilation” is an album to introduce the artist/creator who creates a music that fused acoustic sound and modern electronics sound.
Introduces the music of the various approaches has been exceeded can be found through the Internet, a regional genre.

It's times like this where i wish i had the patience and care to just make a Japanese itunes account. 

illion new digital single "Water lily" has been available for download through iTunes since 2016/07/15, for which 原田郁子(harada ikuko)(クラムボン(clammbon)) has acted as guest Vo.

Lol not surprising! I actually thought "maybe he knows Tiago too" since, you know, Brazil. Also because of his blog, I guess. I'm in tumblr as "yoreru", but I kinda stopped using it... I wanna go back to using it again someday. :x
But I'm happy to find one more Yoh Shibusawa fan from Brazil! We are now 4. YAY.

The hell, seems like we're friends with the same people since I know/follow http://youwillhaveaboytonight.tumblr.com/ too. lol Are you around Tumblr too by any chance?
Thanks for the links btw, the performance sounds lovely <3

I'm in.

I cannot stop listening to this aaahhhhhh
 

^ lol kinda funny to see your post and then @Hakoniwa's signature right above it, heh.
Song is a little too... soft for me at first listen? idk. will keep an eye on them though.

This is super nice. Who needs kinoko teikoku anyways?
 
 

This thread is basically what I've been through recently! I am feeling emotional ;_;
But I did pick-up a few good things. Thanks. : 3
 
Not sure if it fits here, but do you guys know/remember amazingly progressive the brown? Well, they're not active right now, though I'm not sure if they're on an indefinite hiatus or forever gone. Anyway, the brown's eye (vocals) & Atari (guitar) have started a solo-ish career a two-piece unit! It's called 瞼-mabuta-. They first mentioned it some time ago, but only recently they've published a full song!! And they're doing lives right now, it seems... they're not rock-oriented, but damn, eye's vocals are best than ever.
Here's their new full song: https://soundcloud.com/ai-takeda-172176910/contrast
 
And this is a video of a live they were part of!
 
 
Sounds nice.

I don't have an issue with third party input, but I do have an issue with the way that the input is given. No matter how valuable or sage the words you'd like to contribute are, if you're a third party, you NEED to approach the situation with a certain amount of tact and sensitivity. The way your post read to me was like "oh I don't care about the situation, but you guys should do watch what words you use". You can't seriously expect to be received well with such a crass and insincere tone can you? I felt the same way about @Carmelzors post on the previous page - it wasn't so much what he was saying, as much as it was his authoritative and didactic tone, as if  he were an expert on the situation. I know neither you nor carmerlzors meant any harm by your words, but just as 3rd parties want people to be open to their opinions, you also have to be open enough to understand that oppressed people are far too downtrodden to want to hear "nitpicky" opinions or "know-it-all" solutions from people who aren't even affected by the issue in the first place.

I'm not saying that outside opinions are invalid or not welcome, but that's like me trying to tell @Pho and @beni how to feel about Brexit when I have no idea what it's like living in England, or me telling @seurong and @saishuu what's the best direction for their government (post-presidential crisis) when I know nothing about Brazilian politics. Outsiders simply have no idea what it's like to actually be on the inside. Sure, you may have comparable experience and knowledge from elsewhere, but every situation is different. You guys see headlines, social media/online posts, and probably talk with a few people, but at best your knowledge is anecdotal. For people like @Zeus and I, when we log off - the injustice doesn't vanish. It's there - in our faces every fucking day. It's easy for people who exist outside of the oppression at hand to sit calmly and analyze each new situation from a neutral standpoint, examine each wayward opinion with "equal rational scrutiny", and nitpick about word choice, but for most black people, these recent killings have been like the icing on a shit-filled cake that we've been fed our entire lives.  
 
The injustice against blacks in America is so rich, so deep, so prevalent, and so consistent that at this point, whether you call these recent killings "murder" or not is irrelevant, because no matter what word you want to dress it in for semantics sake - it's all the same to black people at this point. The media does its best to take advantage of this and rile the masses into their bullshit, racially divisive propaganda, and while many ppl on both sides feed into the nonsense and effectively transform the actual issues into a never-ending reality tv show,  the issues that plague black america are still very real. I know I'm not alone when I say that, sometimes, I have to ignore it all just to attempt to continue living a "normal" life - all the while knowing in the back of my head that the system is not for me. But no matter how much I try to explain this perspective to you guys, you will never completely grasp the picture. And that's perfectly ok. If you're an outsider or on the opposite side of oppression, you HAVE to honor and respect that gap. That's all I ask. If you're an outsider and you want to contribute something to the conversation, you must do so with grace and compassion. Or else why should your opinion even matter?

Opa, valeu por Fukai Mori! Ai, Do As Infinity <3 Essa aí eu provavelmente tenho ainda em algum DVD de back-up antigo, mas dá uma certa preguiça de procurar. Inacreditával que o link ainda tá ativo... hahaha.
A do ROSIER eu tinha gostado bastante também, na verdade é essa a banda que amigos meus faziam parte, a Erica cantava demais </3
Só acho que podiam ter subido o tom um pouquinho, ela teve que cantar num grave muito grave, caramba, isso deve ter sido difícil... mas cara, tô pensando agora, capaz que tenha isso postado lá no meu fórum, eles faziam parte do fórum e tal XD Mas aposto que devia estar no rapidshare ou yousendit.......ou seja, já era.
Mas enfim, pior que em todos os casos a mixagem tá bem ruim mesmo, a gravação também não tá lá essas coisas, mas é complicado quando não se pode contar com alguém mais experiente nisso -- e antigamente era mais difícil fazer isso por conta própria... hoje acho que é mais fácil aprender e aplicar. Daria pra entender todo o álbum como um grupo de demos feitas em casa, mas que poderiam ser aprimoradas com o cuidado devido. Claro que tem outros que nem isso salva, mas deixa isso pra lá, a questão é só praticar mesmo e melhorar.

Eu gostei do cover da MadLess e da Rosier, caso queira ouvir a outra música que a Rosier gravou tem aqui --> DL Link deles que ainda está ativo. ^^
 
Edit: Aqui algo pra vocês: SD 
Sleazoid: Demo + Ep.
 
Tenho uma pasta com muitas destas velharias no HD externo, incluindo o cover da música Garden feito pelo Kurohana de 2004 (que é bem tenso), mas esta lá pra quando eu quiser matar a saudade. kkk

AHHHH É ESSE MESMO!! Valeu! Noooossa, quanta nostalgia em um só arquivo .rar ahhahah
Gente.
Que... mixagem... ruim. XD
É bem compreensível que a qualidade de gravação e mixagem em si não sejam das melhores tendo a forma como tudo foi feito, mas na época eu não notava essas coisas muito bem... que loucura hahaha. Vou ouvir com mais calma depois... quando eu estiver com bastante paciência.
 
Agora uma coisa eu não entendo... pq o próprio pessoal que grava a música resolve distribuir como 128kbps?!? É cover, é gratuito, vai ser distribuido online e... caramba, pra alguém deliberadamente incluir sua música em 128kpbs só pode ser ou muito sádico ou muito masoquista, porque os dois lados perdem nisso. E dá pra ver que é escolha da banda, já que algumas mandaram seus arquivos em 320kpbs e outras em 128kbps. Será que não fizeram por querer? Talvez seja pra parecer mais banda-de-vk-obscura... hmm. É. Talvez.
