    Very generic suggestions for Loudness but Thunder in the East and Disillusion (English or Japanese version) are classic albums. A key thing to know about Loudness is to listen to the ones with Niihara as singer.

    Mike Vescera just sucks. . .don't even bother.

    I like Gackt, don't get me wrong, but I just wish he'd release a decent album for once and not just more so-so singles. I don't even think Reborn should count as an original album - more like another compilation.

    Edit: Fix'd

    I found it via Google on one of my leeching escapades back before I bothered to buy anything. I registered at TW.net long before I became active under some random account to get some Yama-B downloads and then forgot about it until a year ago when I got tired of the other forum I used to go on.

    I wouldn't consider myself a HUGE indie fan, I probably couldn't name that many bands as CAT5 or Aion, but I am a HUGE fan of Number Girl and a massive Inazawa fan girl. I think he's the most kawaii indie rocker ever, not to mention one of the greatest Japanese drummers. Never was fond of Mukai's projects, though I thought Kimonos was fantastic. I liked one of Nakao Kentaro's bands Spiral Chord too; they are one of those not-so-typical garage bands.

    Another band I consider kawaii is andymori, though I've only known about them for a year or so. I have a thing for "indie-style" rock bands with catchy melodies and clear vocals. I'm THRILLED about their upcoming album.

    Melt-Banana is also a big favorite - finally music that fits my attention span. Agata is <3.

    Recently, I also got into Molice. I think Rinko is sorta cute and her voice isn't bad either. They are probably the first female-fronted Japanese bands I've really held an interest in lately besides Melt-Banana. I have a thing for that punkish new-wave sound. Speaking of which, I also love VOLA & the Oriental Machine, even though they are actually major now and became Telephones II: Electric Boogaloo. I think PRINCIPLE was a solid album; had more high points than SA-KA-NA had for me, though it certainly doesn't contend with Android and Darkside.

    I guess to name some bands I have a passing interest within the more "well-known" indie bands: Sparta Locals, Ginnan Boyz, Eastern Youth, and downy.

    I have more favorite bands in the "super ultra mega underground" category. I love a lot of the Japanese post-emo, punk, and hardcore bands. Sunsgrind is probably my biggest guilty pleasure - I have a weak spot for sappy melodic hardcore sk8ter music sung in Engrish :B. Some other underground bands As Meias, Bluebeard, and Onsa that have the pretty post-rock/post-emo sound I fall for, as long as the vocalist isn't too nasally.

    Recently in regards to that brand of indie, I've gotten into Cowpers and Exclaim. Cowpers being a 90's hardcore band, and Exclaim being a DIY punk band that sounds like steroids on steroids. Pretty amazing. . .

    I'm sure I've left out someone else. . .

    I heard the same thing, bout the promotor being some 19 year old girl.

    But seriously, if you let a 19year old fangirl play promoter you can't really be surprised when it goes wrong.

    Apparently she didn't book the venue, lol.

    brb, crying out of shame of the human race

    Kiwileaks sounds like a brilliant project. :wink:
