If I was into the radio feature I probably would have switched a long time ago. But I have very little interest in streaming from Spotify. So I stick with last.fm. Maybe my dread of updating itunes had become useful in this instance. Last.fm has slowly become archaic for much outside archiving your own listening habits, that's true. But I still like it for that if they could get their tech issues handled. I guess I'm just lucky I haven't suffered being unable to scrobble yet.

Damn, that's fast. I was expecting a mini, not another whole album! I'm all over it, though. Can't get enough of this band.

That riff was sounding funky.

Not surprised he left with acor having their major debut. His plate is probably full.

Love the look. But wtf with that chicken? Lol

I pretty much agree with everything the Shinichi person says.

I'm just gonna say I find it slightly obnoxious too because it's just as easy to say jpop, or jrock, or "other" japanese music. But non-vk sounds very exclusive... like it's not visual so it's implying it's less than visual. At least, that's how it comes off to me, add to that some of the sentiment around here in regards to other styles of music becoming more prevalent on MH hasn't always been put as kindly as it was by the OP.

Sounds like they'll be the new ViViD.

yes let this happen

I'll inform you that there are indeed many more "general" japanese music news sites than there are visual. (Arama, Gekirock, and Indies Music are just the ones I personally follow there are many many many more). Not only do I agree with what @fictioninhope has said, but the "general" aspect of Japanese music is so massive compared to the visual kei corner of it, it'd be literally impossible to keep that side of the news section truly general. Just the indie rock scene in Japan is about 50 times larger than the visual one. Never mind pop, rap, metal, etc and so on. So I don't feel even attempting to establish it as a dedicated news source would be worth it unless 10 more people just like @Trombe step up and take a genre of japanese music to update.

I don't feel there is enough non-vk news here to warrant that kind of split yet, but maybe just a "visual" and "general" news prefix (like we have with uploads for albums, minis, or singles) that could be used?

You called them names meaning to insult them. That is exactly what the phrase "calling names" means. Just so you know. And here's a protip: My comment was 100% sarcasm.

Keep calling them names, that will surely change people's minds.

Glad they sound like they're coming back. Curious if their sound has changed very much.

This year is gonna be good with me and visual bands again. I really like the preview.

Yeah, I'm super excited for the pv now! XD I'm so happy to hear some new bands putting out quality stuff this year. I'm getting excited about vk again for the first time in a while.

Not even close to EYA quality yet judging by those previews. But they've got time to grow. At least there's potential.

Man, that preview is sounding flaw free!
