Dooo iiiiiiiit. I wanna see your list too. ;;

Besides CHVRCHES and Pony I know/like every band here. Which tells me I need to check out CHVRCHES and Pony. lol I also didn't check out that Good On The Reel album for similar reasons of being kind of bored with their recent output. So I guess I better put them back on my list to keep tabs on again. Nice list!

Awwww yeaaahh~ Glad to hear someone else is enjoying him. *high fives* Anything else you really like this month that we didn't get around to covering? I hope we can get a playlist feature working at some point in the future too, I send these posts to friends and family and they've asked me if we could do the same to make it easier/faster for them in the past as well. @ShanethVarosa I've really been enjoying Ai's solo stuff so far after losing a lot of enthusiasm for later-era Deathgaze, and "White Moon" is definitely another gem in the pile. Really beautiful track, there. That D track is actually one of the better things I've heard from them in a whiiiile. This is a very pleasant surprise. @beni Wow I was not expectng that emotional outcry Kominami Yasuha unleashed in that chorus!! (I know you said harsh pitch, but you definitely meant it! I was only maybe expecting a little scratch or grit but she really went there.) Took me totally by surprise and pulled me right into that song. Wonderful! Dat Phew track, tho. I loved this. I have never heard of her before and I have obviously been missing out. I don't normally like Chara too much. But I can handle her vocal tone a lot better with this rock sound than pop. I also just have to say it really makes me smile when a limited project like that decides to keep it going for their own enjoyment. That's really cool in my book. lol. @CAT5 The cheserasera! I love these guys a lot. I can't believe I missed this release this month so I'm super grateful for a reminder. I really enjoy that we seem to follow bands on opposite sides of the punk scene and I'm always like "WHERE DID THESE DUDES COME FROM??" lol. Happened again with PLAY DEAD SEASON. I'm gonna have to hunt down this split as well. This is great. The Bradio fan in me is excited by 8otto, I've heard the name but didn't remember them sounding like this. I'm loving the vibe here with the funky music but the too-cool-for-school vocal style. indigo jam unit. That's sad they are hanging it up, this song is really nice. Too many great bands phasing out this year. Way too many. That BUPPON song reminds me I need a lot more Japanese hip hop in my life. I probably know like 5 legit Japanese rappers. That's just sad. lol. Also that Marmalade Butcher song really hits half way through and I was living for it. Really nice list this month!!! But ngl I like Atlantis Airport a lot. But this is another split I didn't even hear about. December was just crazy.

You always have a really cool style with your tastes, it's so eclectic but everything has an edge to it. I was all over the cali≠gari, sukekiyo, and Towa Tei albums this year. <3

I watched this like 3 times. *floats away in waves of feels* ;^; Also bless them for not trying to milk the fans for every penny and uploading so much of their stuff to youtube.

Really cool to see you list your favorite singles as well, and not just tracks, but as a small collective work. Smileberry, nüe, Purple Stone, umbrella, blu-billion, Unite... lots of really good bands I also have been loving this year. I used to be really into R指定 years ago, I ended up getting a little bored, but reading this makes me want to catch up on their recent releases now. I also agree 100% about DIV's album. Even though it was made up from a lot of past singles, I still really liked those singles. Another great list!

These guys really continue to impress. And I'll probably never be over Tomo. Just good god, man.

Kagrra,, The Novembers, Blue Encount, Owarikara, and Janne Da Arc! \o/ Nice list! the GazettE - "Dogma" 死んだ僕の彼女 - "I think about Mary Poppins" My Eggplant Died Yesterday - "Unlock" Wienners - "LOVE ME TENDER" 2NE1 - "HAPPY" MUCC - "ポラリス" Flogging Molly - "Selfish Man" The 3rd Birthday - "濁瞳に降る。" EACH OF THE DAYS - "Open the Hell's Gate" Asian Chairshot - "소녀 (Girl)" This is a list where I like pretty much all of the songs but don't love any of them? idk

I find the chorus a little boring but otherwise I like it! They look amazing as usual. And I'm a big fan of performance videos like this in general.

I know a lot of the Japanese punk and metal bands I follow on facebook and twitter have mentioned his death and how they were inspired by Motorhead so I do think they were popular with the crowd who listens to foreign/english language rock music.

Your list looks GREAT! You put in so much work collecting all of the artwork and doing both tracks and albums. *high fives* I really liked all the songs listed below. Even though, the entire list is pretty solid, some artists just aren't my personal tastes but I can respect they have good quality music. 14 HEART OF THE YOUNG by coldrain 15 MONEY by DADAROMA 19 INAZUMA by ALSDEAD 20 闇 by ザアザア 25 WHOLE by coldrain 26 DIVINE by coldrain 28 PRETTY LITTLE LIAR by coldrain 29 モルヒネ＃２ by DADAROMA 41 GODDESS by THE GAZETTE 43 マダラ蝶 by リライゾ 44 最終電車 by DADAROMA 45 睡蓮 by MUCC (I still don't like TRENDY as much as their last albums, but it's still pretty good MUCC) LOL Everything coldrain, tbh. <3 With the albums coldrain, DDRM, and DOF I really enjoyed. LOUD GRAPE! I need to find Kodomo Sekai because I totally missed it somehow! ;; I have a few other releases from them and I thought they were really good!

I can't argue with that top 3. All boss songs there. Bring Me The Horizon is the only other band I listen to with any frequency from that list. I know of/heard of Death Cab for Cutie, Born of Osiris, and andymori but have never really dug into their discographies. Sujk - "In Control" SiM - "DUBSOLUTiON #4" Loyal To The Grave - "Advance This Way" NAÏVE - "Monument Size" Norma Jean - "Triffids" 10-FEET - 2% ARTEMA - "COLORS OF LOVE" Fall Out Boy - "She's My Winona" AZIATIX - "Top of the World" KNOCK OUT MONKEY - "I still" The NAÏVE song is my fave on this list, but that last AZIATIX song just hits me right in the feels. ;; I lost too many of my faves this year.

New B-T and NoGoD next year? Sounds great already!

This gave me too many feelings. D; That had to be really hard for them singing those songs.

I just saw a picture of this session on twitter yesterday. I had no idea! Tsukasa and Tetsuya? Awesome!

You know they made it when the baby bands are emulating them! Lol. I was also getting some meji vibes from the look. But I ain't mad! They still sound fairly promising as long as the grow into their own eventually.

Always love to hear about more Buck-Tick!

Wow, so ohp and twitter is all taken down now? o.o

So an m-card is a type of digital release? Sorry I'm just now hearing about it for the first time. OTL

Congrats on 400 posts! Pizza party, best party~!!!!

Welp. That was fun while it lasted...
