i actually talked to Age (milia's vocalist) 2 weeks ago the night he played in a session called Moyashi. he said that planet story was a real challenge for him cos it was different from everything he had done before but he's happy that fans liked it so much (i told him i still listen to it a lot and i fucking love it). i'm not sure if he'll be back in a regular band though; even if that happens it probably won't be the same kind of music anymore.

wow, thanks for sharing this! PLANET STORY rocks, indeed!  CYBER TROOPER and SW·2XXX are killers! And what about his solo project? it didn't work out in the end?

his solo project (rock bouquet) only had a couple of lives in Fukuoka and released 1 live limited CD with 4 instrumentals and no vocals lol. and i think it's no longer a thing afaik.. that session i was talking about was in tokyo.

and yes planet story is one of my alltime favorites. all 5 tracks are phenomenal for me! i love milia so much haha (*_*)

my thoughts too!! Ryouga earns it though I love the guy :]

DJENT KEI IS NOT DEAD

Vstyring djentocore is on the rise ^^^^^

Good thing they stopped being LAYZ then....

I'm terrible

It's okay, I actually chuckled

i would prefer individual lists so i could load the pages. too many things loading on one page slows down the page when you first open it. i'm sure we've all noticed that with this year's list.

@The Reverendyeah, I would call it funk or something, but I see him as a rapper so it kinda sticks, lol! and gotta check out Jeffery yet, missed that one... and for sure, Minaj has been a freaking disappointment, I has so sure she was gonna skyrocket after that godly part on Kanye's monster...

chance, kanye, solange, lion babe, pink oculus, nao (r'n'b, but one of the best albums of the year), yousef gnaoui. Such a quality year.

also reinvented music, saved 2016 etc etc

Man, I loved that movie. I love realistic, slice of life stories and that one always hits close to home.

agreed!

does this mean it's worth a listen?
 lol

@YuyoDrift absolutely!

so good! \m/

@hirokioh, I see! that makes a lot of sense! you would make a fine teacher, man lol! just out of curiosity, what that release name (絶望、はじめました。) actually means?

@chemicalpictures はじめました means to have started doing something. so literally, 絶望、はじめました。 would be "i've started doing despair," or in better English, "i've begun to despair." but actually, it's more than that. when a Japanese person says he/she is 絶望, the immediate connotation is that he/she does not want to do anything, and never that they are motivated to do something. so putting 絶望 together with はじめました is self-reflexively ironic, and it's likely that it's meant to be read 'playfully' along those lines. and thanks for the vote for confidence lol... i'm actually teaching in the university haha ^^

@hiroki Wow, I always find interesting on how one can give a totally different meaning to a sentence just by providing more info on things that are not really based on linguistics, but more on generic day-by-day context. And it's noticable that you do have a knack for it, the way you explain and use examples is very didactic. Thanks again!
