Rize

Cover arts are up~ Aoi is looking good
 

 

 

Yeah and I meant not just the song but the PV too. It has a really nice atmosphere and it's kind of grotesque. Love it.

All videos are so damn boring to watch...  I need a cool STORY (>_<) lol
 
Well then I just go for Avalon, even if the PV is recored on a very known place of VK bands. I let it win because it's my favorite song.

I love the band but their music videos are practically useless (this goes for about 80% of all VK bands these days tho). Voted for Avalon cuz at least I remember what that looked like from memory, lol.

I really love the song "DECADENCE" <3 hehe and the MV is nice.

For those saying Shuuei, I get the song is good but they're asking for the PV not the song. It's a tie between DECADENCE and DIE KUSSE for me...Die kusse had the cool separate costumes and the very nice cameras circling which keep things in "motion" while DECADENCE actually helped amplify how good the song is and then I love the effects, the moods set by the camera shots, the amount of isolation to each members and the final scene where Meto is dancing in the middle of everything

Previews up on youtube!
 

i voted DIE KUSSE too. it's my favorite ♥ ♥ . (i thought i would be the only one for a moment who votes that .yay others like it too xD)
 
i am having a hard time choosing between the other after die kusse.
i think i like more as style Apriori and avalon and then the other. but the other 2 are more "funny/interesting" as pvs
since tzk is eating candle wax, and other stuff.
i thought my least favorite was counting coats.but i love that tzk falls down in the floor at the end .
so yeah i can't decide. but my most favorite is DIE KUSSE

DECADANCE
 
Because of Tzk's bong mask
 
period.
 

DIE KUSSE! Between those this is my fav one... but A priori is good too.

Previews up on youtube!
 

NEW LOOK!


 
 
Wow, Ice sure does look a LOT like Tsuzuku in this outfit. Everyone looks nice here though : P

Is it only me or does Tzk have a bong mask in some scenes?
 
If that's so, then prepare yourselves for the worst pun ever...
 
...
 
Tzk be "Mejiblazing" it.

THIS

2 dates added my 33Degrees: source~
 

Joining "Pandabear" on the Jupiter nomination.

My suggestions would be:

DIV - ZERO ONE
I honestly hate using the term "j-rock" but this really is a solid "j-rock" album.  After this album, I foresee them landing a major-label deal and as long as they maintain this quality (*eyes narrow* we'll see...), I'm fine with that.

The positives:
+Great compositions; restraint shown when necessary
+Almost all of the new songs are better than the three old songs
+Cohesive sound throughout album, but with enough variety
+Chisa is a highly capable vocalist
+Wonderful improvements in the synth/electronic arrangement department
You can see my full review here.  http://www.monochrome-heaven.com/topic/24314-div-zero-one/?p=303649
(Most of the other reviewers seemed to have equally positive thoughts about the album.)

Samples from the album:



ねごと (NEGOTO) - 5
Unfortunately, only Deith and a handful of others on MH seem to care about them, haha.  NEGOTO is a (imo underrated) major-label all-girl pop-rock group with keyboard and quirky, indie rock influences.  While this second album shows less of an emphasis on the keyboard/piano, the composition and musicianship is nonetheless very strong among these young women (I believe they just finished college this year)!  Check out some of their creative PVs to hear their sound.

カルペディエム (Carpe diem) - Carpe diem
One of those "fringe" VK bands that maybe kinda associate themselves with the scene, but bring something new and fresh.  The closest thing I can compare them to is Jikkendai Marmot, though this band is darker and more rock-oriented.  But that "jaunty" factor is somehow still here on certain tracks.  The vocalist does have very exaggerated vocals, but this time, I see that as a positive thing.   Although the album is padded with instrumentals, the musicians are very capable and, unlike filler "SE," these melancholic tracks are actually a joy to listen to.  I'm pretty sure this band came out of nowhere for most of MH, but I'm glad we got the chance to hear them!

5! ooh wait, I'm not yellow anymore

Doing yo-ka's route at the moment, he's really funny XD (you might have seen some screenshots on tumblr by me but..)

 
 

 

 
www  Curious about the other characters ;>

They should do one for guys with female vk bands like Exist Trace

This might be a fun topic
 
As many of our Japanese artists always making photos of their lunch or dinner, I decided we also should post and share it too each other!
 
 
So... what to post:
A photo of your lunch or a photo of your dinner, if possible describe what it exactly is (if it's something people don't eat often or don't know what it is).
 
Also! If you don't have pics for during lunch or dinner, maybe you can take a photo of some snacks you're eating while during your breaktime!
 
 
For example:
 
I made this some time ago~ my home-made lunch

It's Onigiri with tamagoyaki, salmon and soya sauce ^^
 
And now it's your turn!
