This was quick but I'm always excited to hear they're music.

I think "とある澄んだ春の朝に" is literally one of the greatest nagoya kei songs ever. And honestly "In incontinence" is probably also one of the best nagoya albums ever.

So soooo glad to see girugamesh's new song listed here.  I also think  gibkiy×３'s song 溺れる魚  deserves a mention here, because I actually think it was the best song on MUCC's tribute album.

I've been there for so long now that it's kind of hard not to? + I'm just really stuck on statsthingies. It's somehow too fun to see my own stats and charts change every time.

 

Tbh, sometimes I want that weekly charts thing back, where you could see how many spots a certain artist had won/lost since the previous week.

habits die hard, and plus I haven't had major problems with their scrobbler desktop and mobile plugin in over half a decade, so it's just really easy to install and get going now a days that there's really no reason not to be using it for me.

 

Also like many people have said, artist pictures! one of the best places to go for band pics all in one place. sometimes band bios  come in handy too when i go on the random research binge sate my own curiosity.

This and this my thoughts exactly.

kazuma is jarboe, aie is gira

Is that the reference? lol

New girugamesh (ギルガメッシュ) song Samidare (五月雨) (MUCC (ムック) cover) 

from:

[2017.11.22] [V.A.] TRIBUTE OF MUCC - 縁 [en] - 

For anyone who isn't aware "Samidare" is a new song by the legendary and recently disbanded "girugamesh" under the moniker "左迅×弐×愁×Яyo". This song is a cover and the original is by another legendary vk band "MUCC". 

vs.

girugamesh (ギルガメッシュ) song period

from:

[2016.07.10] -period-

This was "girugamesh's" very last song back in 2016 (well at least until this year lol)  and unfortunately they never preformed it live.  It still remains their last release under the name girugamesh (ギルガメッシュ).

Which one do you think is better?

I know Clubs are dead but I would hope that this song is currently the only song on any giru fans mind.

Didn't they start in 2011? That's quite a long time for a vkei band that's been only somewhat active. 

Oh I guess they did lol I thought they started in 2016 with this release lol 

I literally can not believe this comeback. OUT OF NOWHERE! 

That was fast

Yeah it's cool that a bunch of 40+ year old men can release music that sounds more inspired then 99% of what the new younger crowd can put out. Similar to how Swans 2010s output is better then pretty much all modern rock music despite the man behind it all being 60 years old. Gibkiy give me Swans vibes as well.

So accurate.

Love every he does.

I wouldn't put them in them as the GOAT of the Nagoya Kei genre, I think that has to go to Deadman, but I do really enjoy Gibkiy. If anything, that award should just be given to aie.

I wasn't calling them "the" GOAT but but rather just one of the GOAT.

And I agree no doubt aie's king

The problem I have with gibkiyx3 is that their lineup is TOO GOOD. I like all their releases but I can't lie and say I don't wish they would create sounds similar to their respective bands. 

Really because I love their Nagoya kei sound. I guess I love the Nagoya sound in general because all of their  ex. bands are some of my favorites as well.

Even though "gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy" are a newer band I think it's already safe to say they're one of the greatest vk bands of all time. Even if they were to disband tomorrow my opinion wouldn't change. Because their exitisting work I think is already enough to make this judgement. And they're line-up is fucking legendary  kazuma (Merry Go Round), aie  (deadman, the god and death stars, the studs), kazu (蜉蝣, DIMMDIVISION., the god and death stars, STEREO.C.K),  sakura (L'Arc～en～Ciel ). Nagoya gods 

I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Are they even in the discussion after only 2 albums, 1 single, And 2 V.A appearances making for only a total of 24 songs? IMO I really do think so.

BTW listening to gibkiy×３ while I wrote this

Their discography (LIST WITH IMAGES ONLY NO DOWNLOAD): 

My honest rating ()

Looks good

Honestly I was hoping you were referring to the heartless guy because I hated boogieman and I only liked the other guy in heartless. 

So I hope it's someone else.

I don't think we have enough active members to reach 50 likes lol. 

 

Most people just lurk and download. From what I've observed from other topics, there's at most 30~ish users who actively  participate in the community . 

Either way I vote yes

 

Yeah I've been more active lately and I've noticed that too. The place only blows up when a long awaited release is uploaded. lol For the most part anyway. 

Can you let @Zeus know? And maybe he'll do this anyway with 23 likes. lol  I hope so I really wanted this again for years now. I personally think it's a good way to help bring in new members and also preserve a little history of J-rock and I also think it would flow well with the staff reviews and monthly recommended tracks.

lol But what do I know?   

Anyway @platysince you're a mod will you relay everything I just said to the staff as a final plea? Especially @Zeus

...like in ex-boogieman junno?

 

I vaguely remember that bird surfaced again in the news here because apparently her seroquel workedT and she was ready to screech on stage again?

Was that the dude from heartless as well?

Mysterious lmao But I am curious if this guy is some returning vocalist from some awesome indie vk band.

This is pretty cool I hope this is a legit return this time though

Last day!!!! Like this topic today if you want to see this brought back.
