Art Cube "夢描写" - Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

I haven't made a discussion topic in a while, so I've come up with this one. Essentially, do lyrics matter enough to you that you go out and find translations or actively translate them yourself? Is lyrical integrity as important as musical integrity? How easily do you remember the words to a song, especially in a language you aren't fluent in?And lastly, how receptive would you be to a song that had 'lyrics' but weren't in any language at all? Essentially, a song with completely made up words made to sound like a different language. This can be applied to songs of any language. I actually do listen to music that isn't in Japanese and find that language doesn't always make much of a difference when it comes to whether or not I enjoy it. I do have a personal preference of liking how phonetic Japanese sounds, but I'll explain that in the following paragraph. I do like to poke around the internet to see if anyone has already translated a song I like, but more often than not, I don't really consider lyrics to be all too critical. Essentially, when I remember a song I store it in my brain in terms of pitch. I'm very good at remembering melodies and rhythmic patterns, but -awful- at remembering words unless I seriously pay attention and actively force myself to remember lyrics. This also happens in songs in my native language: I normally don't even process what the words are the first few times I hear a song, but begin to pick up on them once I'm more familiar with all of the other sounds first. That's why I've never been able to follow that learning philosophy of "Make a song to remember your notes!!!!," because I'd be too busy remembering things like key changes and counter melodies instead of the actual content. Occasionally, I am able to pick up on full sentences in Japanese, or at least of snippets of sentences. This works best with broken English. "I'LL FOR YOU," "SEXUaLy EXSHYTED bY YoUR CARRAH BOnE IZ ME," "Head will lol," "Our crans brud will not stop foleba," etc. I do, however, try to translate song titles. I found that it did help a bit with learning Japanese to use a dictionary to try and figure out what song titles meant, but only to a certain degree. A lot of titles use slang or word plays that don't make a bit of sense to non-native speakers, so there is a limit to how fruitful that venture can be. Plus, my Japanese class never got to the 'angsty songs about abortion' chapter, so all of the words I learned weren't really used ...ever, actually. As for lyrical integrity, it isn't as much of a big deal to me as lifting a melodic passage from a song. I do pick up on lyrics being 'influenced' all the time, most notably in R&B songs I hear every now and again, but it doesn't offend me all too much.

Props for at least attempting to read someone, I guess. I'm fairly certain Altermalice uses his own hair and that he (hopefully) washes it regularly. Unless, of course, he's started wearing powdered wigs recently. Now there's a different between hating on someone and making an observation and a prediction based on said observation. Based on past examples, i.e. "君ヲ乗セテ…," "Rain Fall in Solitude," "誓言の刻 -Holy Calling-," "Crystal Float," and "Eden," Sui does not do all too well in songs with hyper exposed vocal lines (that's right, I even went so far as to pick Metis Gretel deep cuts). While his voice does take some getting used to (in addition to regular visual-kei stockholm syndrome needed to even enjoy this scene), it has shown to do best in tracks with a ton going on: be it lively tempo, layers of synthesizer, shredding brah guitar, or some sort of distortion filter of questionable taste level, for example. Even though the Kisaki Project is supposed to be the solo works of a bassist, everything I've heard from each subsequent rendition (Kisaki, Kisaki feat Jui, Kisaki feat. Riku + Riku's friend, Kisaki feat. Satsuki's remains) all have produced slow ballad-y songs with minimal layers for the vocals to hide in (save Kisaki Project feat. What'sHisFace with the Lareine cover), also with vocalists whom naturally have a vocal range that is much higher than Sui would like to believe he has. So I don't believe this is a matter of hate, so much as grave concern. I suppose it is better than doing some sort of Sui x ReaLIES x Cindy Kate crossover, but he honestly would do best in a half-assed Lamina or Mar'Derayla revival session. inb4 the vkkk takes excepts of this and attempts to hold it against me. Don't be mad because I'm right.

I actually liked the Ha;qhe one. Huehuehue Not sure if this counts or not, but Mother-motherinkatakana- stole album art from Misa. I don't believe they actually released any of it though, but they took the art from their 緋い糸 and 切葬 demotapes. Likewise, the same band also took a song from S (not sure which, I've never cared for S), and '離別ノ揺篭' is '[slæver]' by Syndrome.

I mean, it is his label. That's free reign to do whatever he pleases, no? I thought Dali were already disbanded.

...Didn't Kisaki listen to Megaromania's cover of Vidoll? Shouldn't he know not to let that happen again? While Sui has improved since his earlier bands, he shines at out-of-tune / is this even in the same key? furytale gawfic music and is NOT Jui x Satsuki part 2. At all.

My first thought from reading the title was "Well, I guess Girugamesh has to make money somehow...," but I guess this being the fate of ex-and bandmen is just as amusing.

Tempted to save up for this for the complete discography of all ucp bands in one, accurate, reference. That, and I'll rub it all over my body in the hopes that I'll turn into a Heishin bandman.

They were on Storm, so idgaf about them. Also, Megaromania's "Prologue & Epilogue"'s piano + twinkling outro is the same outro as Diru's "Jealous." They have another song that I remember coming across that sounded like a song from Gauze. They also have costumes influenced from both Diru and Phantasmagoria. Does that count?

Hoping the UCP session doesn't end up being a huge cluster fuck.

Also, lololololol forever at the South American rap group that sampled Diru's "Cage." So many tears.

Litchi Hikari Club's "Dark Knight"'s guitar solo sounds a hell of a lot one I've heard in a Dream Theater song before (still trying to find the song). lynch.'s 'Quarter Life' has a few melodic lines that are in a different key from Emmuree's an「acute」. [_Vani;lla]'s "ゥソつき," V-LAST.'s "彩恋-sairen-," and And's "恋スル@BOY" all have more or less the same riff thing going on with slight variants, presumably stolen from somewhere in an irrelevant GazettE single from who knows when. Megaromania's 'Bloodshed' is Rhapsody of Fire's "Dawn of Victory." E'm~Grief~'s 'Amentia' is Dimmu Bugir + some gross Cradle of Filth song mixed together (Yuuze had a severe lapse of judgement in 2009, please forgive him). Missa's '奇櫻の宴,' The Piass' 'G-Gas~,' and another song by The Kiryu (I can't remember which, for the life of me) have this same oriental melody to it. I've been dying to know where it comes from. Likewise, the Kiryu's 'Another Side' has the theme from Tetris in it (which came from a Russian folk song itself).

I like it when they do creepy stuff. More importantly, a new My Dragon song!

Pull a Baiser and survive with everyone quitting!

They don't seem to have much luck with drummers.

Literally nothing like Key Party bands from what I've heard. (Ray could have done 203040202152x better, but I digress).

ohaio brozaimsu. Watashi ha piisu san desu nya. Totemo oishii katta to omouijatta. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww boku mo cat五 senpai no ichi ban tomodachi.

Side-eying at them giving away rares if you spend a ton of money.

Whomever though it was okay for vkei to go from frilly leather + naziploitation w/ 7 inch boots that lace up to the thighs to looking like animu host boys in somewhat normal clothing. Tragedy.

I've always wondered what mixing the Human Abstract with RES' last album would sound like.

I wouldn't be surprise if they 'disbanded' and then made a new band with the same members. Their album was a complete let down for the amount of time it took them to release it.

(yeah....)
