Number Girl

This may get a re-release in a few months since most Boris releases come out on vinyl first and then make their way to CD later. I don't know what should be attributed to the actual pressing and what should be attributed to how this was ripped, so I suppose we can't say if/unless we get another vinyl rip or CD release.

Would really love if it got a CD release. Vinyl makes me sad . . . I don't have the right kind of player for them yet. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. 

Well, at least the one Eminem song that ended up on there happened to be one of my personal favorites, lol. Loving the Sinatra and Diru songs as well! 

 

1. Beatles - I've Got a Feeling

2. U2 - The Electric Co.

3. Versailles - Rose

4. Melt-Banana - Call Me Please 6824

5. Green Day - Welcome to Paradise

6. D'espairsRay - Hai to Ame

7. Dir en grey - 「欲巣にDREAMBOX」あるいは成熟の理念と冷たい雨

8. Blindman - Cold Wind Blows

9. Melt-Banana - Rush & Warp

10. D.T.R. - Dirty Winner

heeeey!!!  

Cinema Staff and everything to do with Yama-B and Eizo Sakamoto. 

Comments for CAT5: Honestly, all I really have to contribute is . . . every day you make me feel like I live under a rock when it comes to music. . . so I have no idea if I should be impressed or be appalled by your list xD. The only band I'm remotely familiar with is Lillies and Remains and they were okay imho. 

 

1. "夢の中の君" - Caroline Rocks

2. "もう一度キスしたかった" - B'z

3. "Survival" - Bob Marley

4. "Under Pressure" - Grand Slam

5. "Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles 

6. "from suisei with whole lotta love" - suiseinoboaz

7. "for Dear" - Kuroyume

8. "Jessica" - The Allman Brothers 

9. "She" - KISS

10. "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby" - Rolling Stones 

I have periods where I briefly stop listening to new artists and essentially "go back" and spend a lot of time rediscovering older artists. I've found some of my most beloved musicians through it. 

That's good that they are making progress. I'm hoping for one at least this year . . .

What the ever-loving fuck

Awesome, I love it! Wish the tracklist wasn't listed on there . . .unless thats just for the poster. . .

I like the idea of the multiple choice for categories as well. I too struggle picking "the best" when it comes to these things and I end up going back and forth for quite a while, trying to be fair to all my favorites, haha. 

 

A suggestion process just seems way too complicated for a poll of this nature imho . . . I imagine the staff or someone will have to select which artists will be the choices and that will be a long ordeal in itself. 

I personally didn't participate because I didn't listen to much music that came out in 2012 and I didn't think it would be fair of me to vote. 

 

I know that sounds really stupid, but that's exactly what was going through my mind. . . 

Lol. . . my past is starting to look really sad. . .

 

I didn't care much for music up until I entered high school. Before, the only artists I really loved were Coldplay, Eminem, and various country, hip-hop, and contemporary Christian songs (pretty much the staple diet of the average Southern teenager with access to a radio). Both my parents were casually into your standard 70's and 80's pop and rock music (Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, etc.) so I think that's where my interest in that kind of music came from, but for the most part my father doesn't care all that much about music anymore and my mother only listens to Christian pop. 

 

When I discovered the internet and started playing video games and watching anime, I started liking the theme songs and that's what lead me to J-Rock. For a couple years I just listened to whatever band had the prettiest members or whatever was the most catchy and melodic artist, like Gackt and other visual kei. I'm pretty sure it was Luna Sea and Number Girl that officially altered my perspective on music forever. They really opened up my mind to other types of rock music and made me more appreciative of it. Now I listen to shit I never imagined I would be listening to. It's funny because my interest in Japanese rock has now caused me to become re-interested in English speaking music and not the other way around, haha. 

Some band T's. . . I seriously hope they look good in real life . . . lol

 

For Amazon.co.jp, it depends on the item. Most things in the store sell overseas but some marketplace sellers may only do domestic shipping. Sometimes you can find some really great gems there. Good luck! 

Welcome!

I don't think any amount of knowledge about or experience with music can really sway a personal opinion.

 

It can be helpful to work with music, as you can probably analyze a lot more than a person who is not as familiar, but that doesn't mean everything will be 100% objective. 

From the Feminism album. 

 

I'm mostly interested in romanji, but translations are always nice. 

 

Thank you very much! 

D'espairsRay came on shuffle today on the way to class ("Squall") and I teared up a little bit. Damn, didn't know I missed them that much. :/ I guess I was just so *annoyed* about their last few releases that I didn't think I'd really care if they disbanded. 

 

I haven't bothered listening to the other projects, but I kinda imagined they would be so-so by comparison. Meh. 

Cinema Staff new single preorders and I downloaded a bunch of Boris and X Japan songs from iTunes. 

I approve of most of those remakes, though I'm iffy about "The Final" being on there. I think they should have replaced it with "Embryo." 

 

Really interested in how "Unknown. despair. lost" will turn out.

I agree that preoccupying yourself is a good remedy. Find an activity that not only keeps you busy, but makes you happy too. Also, try to avoid things or places that remind you of that person if you can help it. It will take time, but you will eventually move on and your life will be all the better for it.
