Lament. - 蓮と落陽

Their album was underwhelming but they're pretty good overall, looking forward to it! 

Lament. - 蓮と落陽

This is a question for anyone who is living or has lived in Japan and gone to lives here. Have you found yourself listening to songs for the first time and heard some part of the music that makes you think you know which common furitsuke movement happens there? Just today I was listening to an old Gazette B-side and thought at one point, "this part feels like oritatami." It's been happening a lot in the past couple of weeks for bands I've never even seen live before and I'm curious if others have experienced it.

haven't been, but see too many live clips not to know which musical bits go with headbang, mosh, jumping, gyakudai, etc

Haha, I would not have thought about it until this thread... but having been to a few VK shows I now will absolutely think to myself "oh this has got to be the bit they jump back and forth across the venue during" or "I bet this three minute song takes 15 during a concert".
 
There are names for the different moves??

This new single will be released on 2017.11.29. (4320 yen) And if I am right, for the first copies, they will include a ticket for their live on 2017.12.18 at 渋谷VUENOS.

ojisan talent show lineup!
how he's going to fit in all those old men on a little album is beyond me!
 
also asagi is exposed for the nagoya stan that he is (hitoki, aie, yukino, sakura by association) so all those legends better be on one song!

TELEPHONE:LOVERS - Romanticism (CD, 199?) - $25 $20
 
Condition: EX/NM. Complete with obi.
 
Ultra-obscure! Never heard of this before, looks privately released by the band.
No year of release stated, but I'm guessing this was released during the early to mid-90:s.
Thanks list include JUBILEE, ZEDEKIAH & UNI;SEX (see V/A - Grass Roots Party CD above).
 
Samples availiable here:
 
 

 

 

 
螺旋ウィルス (RASEN VIRUS) ‎– 真実のオモチャ箱 (CD, 1999) - SOLD
 
Condition: NM/NM. Complete with obi.
 
I don't think this one needs much introduction. Post-DESHABILLZ project in the wake of their bassist passing away.
Squaky clean copy complete with the transparent slipcase.

Ba-lra - 子供達の分裂 (3" CD, 1994) - SOLD
 
Condition: VG+/EX
 
These guys are "known" for their appearance on the Cosmic Fields compilation, but this is their virtually unknown solo single!
Three hard & fucked up tracks, 2nd track ("ROBOT") is the breadwinner IMO - slow, pulsating gothic madness.
Probably self-released (seeing as it is produced by the band themselves) or possibly via a studio (though neither VAN VAN V4 or Couch Case rings a bell).
 
Samples availiable here: 
 
 

 

 

 
V/A - Ayers - Real Airs of 2000 Years in Ayers (CD, 2000) - SOLD
 
Condition: NM/NM. Complete with obi.
 
Obscure early 00:s compilation! I think this was released to commemorate a livehouse called Ayers in Saitama.
Recorded at Studio Kararec and released on the Spirits label (same as the 99°C compilations).

Samples availiable here:
 
 

 

 

 
V/A - Tokyo Acid Punk (VHS, 1990) - $40 $30
 
Condition: EX/EX
 
Excellent live documentation of the early Japanese goth scene!
Sick performances by MOTHER GOOSE, EX-ANS, SCULLA, ROSEN KREUZ etc.! 
 
Tracklist: 
 
1. Mother Goose - Too Dance
2. Mother Goose - Xeno
3. Dip The Flag - Waiting For The Man
4. Ex-Ans - Abortion
5. Sculla - Longing
6. Rosen Kreuz - Twin Dead Voice
7. The Nirvana - Devil Dog
8. Neurotic Doll - Reveal -啓示-
9. いんど猫 (Indo Neko) - 水の中
 
Sample (please note: the sound on the actual VHS is much louder than on this clip) 
 
 

 

 
NOISY CROWDS - 水色の太陽 / サ・ン・ダ・ル (cassette, 1993) - $30 $25
 
Condition: EX/NM
 
Absolutely stunning song by NOISY CROWDS. 
One of their finest works, for some reason only released on this demo tape AFAIK.
Self-released by the band and tricky to track down.
 
Sample:
 
 

 

 
ZELIACORT (cassette, 1996) - SOLD
 
Condition: EX/NM
 
Demo tape by ZELIACORT, released in 1996 to promote their CD.
Features a song not released on the CD ("Risky Up Knight").

CAM-FLAGE / GRIMM THE CAPSULE - split (cassette, 1992) - $25 $20
 
Condition: NM/NM. Complete with lyric sheet.
 
Rare cassette split with CAM-FLAGE & GRIMM THE CAPSULE.
CAM-FLAGE were featured on the "Cry Max Pleasure ~Break On Through To The Nuclear Bandits~" compilation, but their tracks on this tape are harder & less poppy.

And as last time, I've got some items which are not strictly visual kei but might be of some interest nevertheless
 

 

 
FUNHOUSE - Bloody Butterfly From Overdrive Cloudy Skyes (CD, 1991) - $15 $10
 
Very obscure early 90:s goth band, released on the ZIKS Records sublabel Bloody Butterfly.
Deep, dark, depressing sound! Yeah! 
 
Sample:
 
 

 

 

 
藤森啓之助 & 筒井方也 - Darkness (CD, 1991) - $30 $25
 
Total mystery release! Self-released CD by these two unknown dudes. 
Lenghty instrumental synth songs; amateurish but somehow strangely compelling.
 
Balancing somewhere in the cracks between ambient and minimal synth, there's some game soundtrack vibes going on here as well, 
with some sort of vaguely creepy atmosphere permeating the whole thing.
 
Guessing this is home-recorded basement noodlings. One track starts with a round of applause, but it sounds so weird, I think they just overdubbed it, haha!
 
One & only copy I've ever come across!
I put this up over at Discogs for $50, but offering it here for bro price
 
Complete recording of this abomination availiable here:
