The difference being they can pull it off because it suits them perfectly. But girugamesh is a band for harder, rougher music, so they really need to get back into that again. I didn't hate the latest single, but I'd prefer if they did something else, like a few years ago.

He's a good vocalist, as you can hear in Carry Dawn and God Forsaken. But most of their other songs and especially their full album sucked balls and dragged him down too. Hopefully he'll create a better band this time.

Re:ache - 6/10 The solo is really enjoyable IMO. Rest of the song is okay, not bad, but not great either. It's not impressive unfortunately. Night Light Parade - 7/10 I dig the rapping here. Usually I'm not into rap but in H&MC's music they do it very well. Then the screaming, that's good too. Rest of the song, it's alright. But thanks to the rapping (and screaming) it's better than the previous song. Day Dreaming - 7/10 Halca sounds best here, and again there's a nice guitar solo, and good screaming at the end. Just a good song. Red (Live Ver.) - 7/10 This is not live at all? Just a slightly different version of Red. It's a good song, but I have no clue why it's called a live version. The ending would be something they only do at lives. But even that sounds like it's done in the studio. Very misleading title IMO.

Hate is a strong word and I cannot understand how people could hate X Japan. Surely, there are things you DISLIKE about the band but seriously, HATE the whole band!? What kind of bullshit is that. I mean, I don't like the fangirls who still dream about sleeping with hide, don't like the lack of new material, don't like Yoshiki's attitude sometimes, but come on, how could you HATE a band that made Art of Life, Kurenai, Sadistic Desire and all that amazing music?

I think Atreyu is a stereotypical name for a band that tries too hard to be bad-ass while they actually suck balls. No surprise there. DIET-COKE HEAD BARBIE DREAMS wins this competition alongside OGRE YOU ASSHOLE in my opinion. Weirdest band names ever.

Akaki Hitsuji ni Yoru Bansankai - 7/10 is a lot more enjoyable without the video. (; Hibiwareta Zakuroishi - 7/10 great, but perhaps a little bit too long. I have nothing against longer songs but they need to be satisfying from the beginning till the end, this one is alright at that, but it could've been a minute shorter or so. Heiron - 9/10 wow, I love the chorus here, and the overall sound, the best song on the single for me K???? - 7/10 intro is great, but soon the shouting on the background and the "grunting" following that makes me go "eww", the rest of the song is good, except for the "grunting" parts. That fails, so I'll just pretend it's not there...

The Cry Against is amazing, just amazing, could be improved at a few points on which the song is a bit too hectic, but overall it kicks ass. 9/10 Monochrome is insane. 10/10 There is just nothing wrong with the song at all. It blows me away, and is my favorite MERRY song so far. Perfect. I'm in love with this single.

I'm guessing ??, XXX for YOU and Angelic Poetry won't be any different, and the rest will be new recordings.

Probably "symphonic" rock/metal like Lacuna Coil and Nightwish, and a LOT of old rock music like Golden Earring, Deep Purple, The Doors, etc. I listen to that now too, because it's awesome, but I guess I would be waaaaay more often if I never got into Japanese music.

Oh God, I love this topic (even though it makes my computer go slow due to the youtube videos overkill). You guys have good taste in music. Here are some I consider classics, and would probably still listen till the end of time: La'cryma Christi - Mirai Kouro L'Arc~en~Ciel - Shutting from the Sky L'Arc~en~Ciel - Floods of Tears LUNA SEA - Genesis of Mind LUNA SEA - In Silence LUNA SEA - Rain LUNA SEA - End of Sorrow die in cries - Nocturne die in cries - Through the Looking Glass D'ERLANGER - Moon and the Memories D'ERLANGER - I Can't Live Without You D'ERLANGER - La Vie en Rose D'ERLANGER - Darlin' X Japan - Kurenai X Japan - Art of Life X Japan - Endless Rain RENTRER EN SOI - To Infinity DEAD END - Serafine DEAD END - Danse Macabre girugamesh - Kowareteiku Sekai Dir en grey - Cage Dir en grey - Akuro no Oka Dir en grey - Yurameki

Nowadays they play classics like La Vie en Rose, Moon and the Memories and Darlin' a million times better than they ever recorded. If they can bring this live awesomeness back to the studios... orgasm. Cannot wait!

Mixed feelings about this. I agree on the FACT comparison. In some ways it's very much like FACT. This single is better than the failure called The Farthest, but sounds like a completely different band this time, so this comparison is not even fair, even though both releases are under the name DELUHI. It's extremely poppy, yet it has unexpected very nice guitar play, but again horrible vocals. 4/10 - would've been a 6 I guess if he sung in Japanese and took away the vocal effects. FACT can do songs like this, but DELUHI can not.

The game is fairly simple, and I shamelessly stole it from another forum. First we need a list of 10 artists, no more, no less, I'll randomly create one to start with: As you can see, they don't have to be Japanese artists. They can be any artist from around the world. Now the next person does this: You cross one through using those tags, and add one in bold at the bottom of the list. The next person copies the list (don't quote, just use ctrl-c), removes Tokio Hotel and does the same. Kick one out and add a new one. So there will always be 10 artists max. Please don't post too often. Let room for at least 2 or 3 other people before you post again. GAME ON ^ use list above to start (don't forget to remove TH)
