I will be there in Amsterdam!

It would be nice if such thing as an online store will happen. Thanks for asking!

it was ART CORE PUNK GIG in jule, i suppose? it would be interesting to see  set-list of this event... remembering PUNK FLOYT, covered rrrrealy hot goth bands, i thought not bad if this time they will do something like this...
btw their liveshows are one of the most expensive, and it also leaves many questions... god pls i want more money to buy everything! And to see every liveshow... someday
 
I hope his health condition is better than it was in the first part of the year :< the legendary japanese diligence isn't fun when one of your important person doing so many things at the same time...

On the other hand, when CD with rearranged live-dists was released and this summer lives were announced as 'this year the end of the single performance', all my thoughts were only about disbanding or re-reforming as BEATGOD... and now im really really happy just because of october two-man with gewalt and december event... aaah. kimochiiiiiii♡
2015 was really productive and filled with really unexpected and incredible stuff from GB, so let's see ☆

Top 10 - Song Edition
If you're new to an artist, you might want some recommendations before you dive into their whole discography, and what better way to help you out on that than to present to you a handful of favourite songs from across a band/artist's whole work? You might be wanting a heads up, especially those with a hefty discography, or just a starting point to lead you to the best spot and work your way down from there. Whatever the case, here's a personal list of my favourites by Gothic rockers PLASTICZOOMS.
 
This list is ranked, so the numbers are meant as a specific order in this case. I hope this proves to be helpful for any members who are interested in trying them out, or even encourage other fans to make their own lists in response on whatever PLASTICZOOMS related they might want to also do.
PLASTICZOOMS
Vocalist Sho Asakawa, guitarist Taiyo Ikeda, bassist Jun Yokoe, drummer Yuta Kurata, and keyboardist Shinpei Morishige make up the band. Their style can be described as alternative, shoegaze rock, but they touch upon many different sounds with each release ranging from post punk to electronic. They also have just as much of a focus on their appearance as they do sound. They're well known for their Gothic appearance, and are more popular overseas than in Japan due to this and their almost Visual Kei-esque attire. They have even collaborated with fashion label Discovered, had a photo shoot exhibited by professional photographer Nao Takeda, and appeared in "The Reality Show", a magazine where they worked with photographer Nobuyoshi Akari and designer Jill Sander. Sho himself has a brand called Venus Eccentric and is a DJ. PLASTICZOOMS are a very active band that are constantly evolving as musicians. In an interview, Sho has even compared the band to a chameleon in that they change "color from time to time" with each release. While this is certainly true, as evident with their first album (Charm) being especially punk influenced while their second (Starbow) has more of a pop sound, they continue to get better and better in my eyes. 
 

10. SWAN
 
9. SAVAGE
 
8. THE MORNING SUN
 
7. Witch
 
6. WOODS UNDER THE MOOD IN THE LOOP
 
5. P A R A D E
 
4. ILLUMINATION
 
3. PINK SNOW

It was difficult just picking out ten PLASTICZOOMS tracks, who admittedly don't have that big of a discography compared to most, but even so there were two specific songs that unfortunately couldn't make it in that still deserves mentions.
"MONOCHROME" really can be the only reason you need to check out their second album CRITICAL FACTOR just because of how perfect it is of an opening to the release. The messy yet grungy execution and overall dark sound makes this one an instantly repeatable tune all on its own."The Shadow" is a fine example of how the band used to sound early one, and easily my firm favourite from their early discography. It's a hauntingly beautiful yet quite simple post-rock tune compared to their recent output.
 
So, do we have any other PLASTICZOOMS lovers in the house? Anything you'd like to add, or change, or comment on? Give us your thoughts below! Also feel free to suggest other artists you might want to see be ranked like so: song wise, release wise, PV wise, you name it! I hope you enjoyed!
