Something about a rock saving you and cheese from above?  Sorry, buddy.  You lost me.
 

Brutal honesty... I like MEJIBRAY because they remind me of old Dir en grey and Gazette and I feel like their visual concept at least has a clear theme, and not as generic as some other bands. Their music still has a ways to go before I'd recommend them as some life changing band everyone should listen to, but I do think they are getting better with time and seeing them grow keeps me interested as well.

KEEP YOUR HANDs OFF MY GIRL

That's part of the charm, isn't it? What pushed BABYMETAL into such a debated status was because of their gimmick: J-Pop vocals and dance choreography performed over different "genres" of extreme metal. Some people may enjoy the metal aspects, some may enjoy the J-Pop vocals, or others may just be listening to them BECAUSE they're ridiculous. The review posted in the BABYMETAL thread (or the BABYMETAL tour thread, can't remember) touched on it that there were all of these different kinds of people with different interests in music coming together to experience BABYMETAL. That's a large part of the charm, the experience of witnessing something so novel.
 
 
Now, this isn't to say they lack talent overall, their musicians are excellent; but the one thing that tends to be a constant in fan's appreciation is the recognition of the gimmick and the experience of seeing them live. The band Ghost (or, in the States, Ghost B.C.) is in a similar light where their popularity soared because of their live production, and people began latching on from there when more and more began to appreciate their music and not just the novelty of seeing dudes dressed as Satan Worshippers.
 
 
Whether this craze is going to last or not is something else entirely, though.

I have listened to entire album, and only few songs that I like (yeah because Yuyoyuppe compose these few songs, I am a big fan of him).
Compared to doujin music that have similar mix (heavy and kawai), they are much better IMO lol

I think, especially lately, a lot of the new metal acts sound the same. And Babymetal sounds unique. They are young, cute, and spreading heavy metal to an entirely new audience, and that's why the metal community is promoting them because it only helps spread the love of metal to people who would not normally listen to it. I think Su-metal has a nice voice, and has songs where she is beyond typical idol vocals, though there are a lot of songs she's not doing anything special and I will grant you that, if you haven't listened to the entire album then you wouldn't know. I think the styles merge in a way that is refreshing and the metal music behind them is also good and heavy. If it had a typical metal singer over it I think a lot of people would look at this band differently but because it's got little girls singing things like "doki doki morning~" over it they write it off in haste.
 
  MEJIBRAY has a decent following from the beginning because VanessA had been somewhat established and a Genki/Tsuzuku already had an army of fangirls, from what I remember. 

Oh, well that's good to hear they are carrying on because the last RayC comments sounded so sad, I worried not all of them would even return to music. Thanks!

Afaik Ray℃ is no more, but they have formed a new band オトイロハ (Otoiroha).
 
OHP is here.

Oh God, This is Plague of War

Oh.  I remember when I used to enjoy 2PM.  Sometimes, you just gotta laugh at what people will think is good without any actual knowledge of good music.

Which do you choose? why? or why not?
Personally I'm obsessed with Zombies.

i blame this movie ^

^ That's harsh, man.  Geez.
 
 
I'd rather be at Comic Con right now, but I'm not.  This is a really good one, too. s i g h

I never expect every person of the same zodiac sign to be the same. They have some traits in common, that's all... you have to watch the person and get to know them, first. I'm always a bit skeptical about the astrology, but so far, people have been proving to me that the zodiac thing is right... for some reason I can see the treats of their zodiac signs in them (same with mine, some things are just misunderstood about Sagittarians, these descriptions of us are flat and shallow, without any depth, only what people see outside).

Of course, Hakuei!

Tatsurou from MUCC (duh!)

Kaoru from Dir en grey

Hazuki from Lynch.

and...

Heath from X Japan
They are my ultimate favorites!

I love mosh pits. But I'm not big enough or strong enough to hang with most of the guys here. Our pits can be very violent (it's common to see 2-3 people leave with bloody faces through out the night) so I hang right at the outside to help pick people up with they fall or push people back in when they spin out of control. Japanese bands coming here don't usually have mosh pits. Only maybe Crossfaith (because their music is more western influenced) have had a nice sized pit so far for me. Dir en grey here is all female crowd usually who don't pit much, or it's very mild. But I hear in other cities they have crazy pits so maybe it's just my town is not too into them like other places. But most of my Japanese concert experience has been at anime conventions and no one ever pits at those things.

Some good Japanese stoner: Church of Misery, Eternal Elysium, Boris, Redwood Blues, Sonic Flower, Chūgakusei Kanoke, Greenmachine, King Goblin
 
Some good Japanese sludge: Corrupted, dot(.), Boris, Garadama, Wheel of Doom, Zenocide, Birushanah, Congenital Hell, Godgrind, Nerveless, Sithter, Solar Anus,
 
Church of Misery, Boris, Sonic Flower, Corrupter, Solar Anus and Congential Hell all have must-haves in their discograhy.
 
 
 
Also, sludge can be as fast as it can be slow. A lot of bands owes more to the old hardcore of Black Flag, while many others owes more to the bluesy doom og Black Sabbath, but in general sludge is a mixture of hardcore punk and traditional doom metal. But you can also mix hardcore and traditional doom without being sludge, so there is more to it than that. But in general, it's a fine way to recognize sludge. A filthy mix of hardcore and doom metal. Yummy!
 
Saint Vitus (one of the original doom metal bands) mixed Black Flag with their brand of traditional doom on Hallow's Victim without making a sludge album. But you get the point.

Done and done. ^^
