    What is the most satisfying aspect of uploading for you?

    For me, I mainly tend to share things that I'm very enthusiastic about myself.  I really enjoy doing little writeups to accompany my uploads.  If that actually helps to persuade someone to try something new, then that's awesome!

    My favorite thing about uploading (it doesn't happen THAT often unfortunately, haha) is when people post a bit more than "thanks" and actually share their thoughts on a release.  It's always nice to hear what others think about a particular release; a few downloaders have left some really thoughtful comments/opinions in the past and I always enjoy reading them.

    Damn, I was convinced I would just buy the iTunes version of the album, but now they're offering two unreleased CD-R's  if you buy from Tower Records or HMV.

    Tower Records CD: 雨、降り続く雨

    HMV CD: 或る夜

    If I do get one, it will just have to be the HMV one (don't want to go through a shopping service for Tower Records), but this certainly complicates things a bit...

    DIV - 夏の行方 (natsu no yukue)

    DIVnatsunoyukue_zps1e4ba99c.jpg

     

    Reason: Not sure what it means or if it's just random, but I simply love the composition.  Who knew goldfish and marbles (?) would be a winning combination?  Plus, the black background also makes the colors pop intensely.

     

    戸川純 (Jun Togawa) - 玉姫様 (Tamahime sama)

    juntogawatamahimesama_zps7353feac.jpg

     

    Reason: It's mysterious and creepy in a subtle way.  I can easily imagine this being a still from an 80s horror movie, like The Fly - or in this case, The Dragonfly.

     

    Ehpion - Re:union

    ehpionre_union_zpsb763082a.jpg

     

    Reason: Once again, simple, yet stark imagery.  It's gorgeous and reminds me of an old Dutch still life painting.


     

    the god and death stars - addle apple

    godanddeathstarsaddleapple_zps8a785454.j

     

    Reason: So simple, yet so iconic!  It definitely makes an impression. I'll never forget this album cover.



    I think I've learned that I tend to like the following in my album art ;)
    a. simple
    b. mysterious
    c. black backgrounds with bursts of color
    d. any combination of the above

    Of the albums that were already posted, I'm also enjoying Boris' and FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT's.

    This is so not my forte when it comes to music, but Jesse Ruins are one of my favorite Japanese electronic groups.

    In 2012, they were my "study music" band, haha.  There are technically vocals, but they're so muddled (plus, indiscernible) that they fade right into the music.

    Relax with these galactic tunes:

    I have almost every cd from them in my cd collection.

     

    About the band itself, they are making very great music, but i think all cd released was better until they join Timely Records, except for Mada Konai ANGEL まだ来ないANGEL that was still very great. But after Mada Konai ANGEL まだ来ないANGEL, they're good but not as good as they used to be.

     

    Their worst single (not bad, just that others are better), i would say Tarantula タランチュラ, their last one. Still good, but i know they can do better, they have done better in the past. I really hope that the new cd will be great, and there is many new songs on the cd that i'm waiting for it.

     

    Well anyway, i want Cee-もう一人のwa.ta.shi- but it is so rare... can't find it. It was easier to find Samba Resort サンバリゾート (distributed live). Except for this Live Distributed, i have all the songs, and all the PV of the band.

    Edit: Oh!!! i just finally found it, yeah, after months/years of searching, i'll finally be able to complete my souiumono collection. So i hope to get a reply from my SS before someone else decide to buy it. But crap, it's over 50$ for just 1 song, but well i did worst in the past and i need this cd.

    NICE, congrats on having the (almost) complete Souiumono discography :D
    I hope you're able to get Cee-もう一人のwa.ta.shi- as well, even if it is really expensive...

    Unfortunately, I agree that the band might have dropped a little bit in quality since joining Timely Records.  Actually, まだ来ないANGEL is my least favorite release by them.  (But, I haven't heard タランチュラ yet, so maybe that one is worse??)  I know some people appreciate the fact that it's kind of like Poitrine, but I never really liked those electronic, poppy tracks; the b-sides were good, but nothing that spectacular.  But their releases on Timely Records aren't all bad, because like I mentioned above, 殺人鬼の棲む街 is one of my two favorite singles!  I really like it when they do the occasional dark/crazy tracks like 魔物大行進 from that single and 毒メスシリンダー.  SACCI's voice is really versatile.

    But I'm withholding final judgment of their Timely Records era until their album comes out.  There's like 18 tracks or something ridiculous, so I think we'll have a pretty good idea of what they're capable of after this!  I'm excited for the tracklist to come out.  I wonder how many of those 18 will be new songs.
     

    Nandakanda was seriously my jam when it first came out.

     

    I want more tellytubby souiumono pls :(

    Just making sure you've listened to the version of NANDAKANDA on the シスター村 single.  That one is heavier and has better production, so RPG-souiumono has their moments too, haha.

    サウイフモノ (souiumono)


    top-image.jpg

    website
    last.fm

    Vocals: SACCI
    Guitar: nono
    Guitar: ヒロバッキー (hiro backy)
    Bass: ぬっぺ (nuppe)
    Drums: カムイ (kamui)

    ex-guitarist: ドンキー (donkey)


    サウイフモノ (souiumono) formed as a trio in 2011 with its vocalist and bassist being former members of the band ポワトリン (poitrine).  During this time, the band donned Smurf/Tellytubby-inspired blue skin and headgear.
    souiumonosmurfversion_zpse02abef1.jpg


    With this lineup, they released their first single パッパパッパラッタ(pappapa palata) followed by a live-distributed single.  After the departure of guitarist Donkey in February 2012, the band filled the lineup with ex-DragonWAPPPPPPER guitarist nono, ex-フカモカ(fukamoka) guitarist hiro backy, and drummer kamui.  Since then, the band has dropped their "blue" look and worn primarily fantasy/RPG-inspired outfits.  They even released two RPG computer games to accompany their singles.  One of the things that definitely sets the band apart from their contemporaries is their sense of humor.  In March 2014, they will end the streak of singles, releasing their first full album.

    Any fans of サウイフモノ?  They're not the most consistent band in the world, but I really like a few of their releases (the 殺人鬼の棲む街 & くびはねるつるぎ / 毒メスシリンダー singles, plus NANDAKANDA are my absolute favorites.)  Not to mention, I think SACCI has awesome vocals!  I'm really looking forward to their album to see what they can really do.  Hopefully they don't disappoint!  

    Favorite member? Favorite song/release?

    Well, it's pretty simple for me.  UNiTE is one of my absolute favorite VK bands.  DIV is also a new favorite and Kameleo is pretty good.
    I don't really follow the rest of the bands, but based solely on these 3 DC bands and the fact that I don't listen to or care about ANY of the PSC bands, I have to go with Danger Crue.

    Plus, as Ricchu mentioned, DC a really active YouTube channel which I appreciate.  Kameleo's PVs are even translated into Korean, Chinese, English (and possibly other languages), so it's nice to see they have overseas fans' interests in mind!  I wish UNiTE's and DIV's videos were translated too, :D

    So so so glad they've evolved from the chug chug chug / pata pata drumming / ZAI ZAI ZAI thing they did for their first 5 demos. [M] surprised me by all the Malice Mizer elements that were not in the live version, and '俺は...悪た' seems like a step in the right direction too.

    Agreed!

    This is a Ru:natic I can get on board with.

    do you have this DVD uploaded here on MH by any chance?

    Sorry, man.  The youtube upload is all I have and since my DVD is chilling in the US right now, I won't be able to rip it in the foreseeable future.

     

    These girls are better in live performance, definitely!

    Ahh they're so good live. Thank you for the YT upload! I really enjoy this band. Man, their drummer is really creative. And pretty too omfgs

    Glad you all enjoyed!  They definitely seem like a really energetic/fun band to see live!

    I also agree with what you said about the drumming, dibur!  That was something I started really noticing on their first album.  She definitely goes above and beyond!

    I made it "unlisted" so hopefully it will also go "unnoticed" by their label, haha.  I uploaded this a few months ago and it's still here, whereas their publicly uploaded videos tend to be removed within a day or so!

    Was für deutsche Filme und Fernsehserien guckt ihr gern? Das heißt keine synchronisierte Scheiße aus den USA, sondern echte deutsche Produktionen!

    An der Uni hatte ich einen deutschen Filmkurs, also kenne ich ein paar sogenannte "Klassiker" wie M, Metropolis, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, usw. Manche berühmte Filme finde ich ein bisschen langweilig, zum Beispiel Die Blechtrommel oder Der Himmel über Berlin.  Aber unter „ernstem Kino“ geniesse ich schon die „Autorenfilme“ von Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Angst essen Seelen auf, Die Ehe der Maria Braun, Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant,  usw.), Fatih Akin (Gegen die Wand, Auf der anderen Seite, usw.), und Michael Haneke (Funny Games), unter anderem.

    Andere Filme die ich gut finde:

    Good Bye, Lenin!
    Kirschblüten – Hanami
    Sophie Scholl – Die letzten Tage
    Die Welle
    Comedian Harmonists
    Almanya - Wilkommen in Deutschland
    Türkisch für Anfänger
    Fack ju Göthe
    u.a.

    Mit den Fernsehserien kenne ich mich nicht so gut aus.  Ich hatte Türkisch für Anfänger [2006-2008] zufällig gefunden und fand die Serie sofort super!  Eine übertriebe, krasse satirische Komödie über eine deutsch-türkische Patchwork-Familie!  Manchmal ein bisschen melodramatisch, aber meistens sehr witzig geschrieben.  Und obwohl es ziemlich "politisch unkorrekt" war, gab es irgendwie eine "family friendly" Atmosphäre.  Sowas habe ich in den USA nie gesehen.  Außerdem finde ich die Schauspieler sehr gut und passend!  Seitdem habe ich den Drehbuchautor (Bora Dagtekin) und seine neue Filme (er ist jetzt auch Regisseur)  verfolgt.  Ich bin ein richtiger Dagtekin-Fanboy.  Obwohl ich den („ganz neu fürs Kino erzählten“) Türkisch für Anfänger Kinofilm [2012] nicht SO gut fand wie die Serie, ist er immer noch sehenswert.  Und Dagtekins jüngster Film, die Schulkomödie Fack ju Göthe [2013] habe ich auch wirklich genossen!  Er und Hauptdarsteller Elyas M’Barek sind ein gutes Team, finde ich.  Dagtekin hat auch das Drehbuch für Doctors Diary [2008-2011] geschrieben, aber ich habe die Serie noch nicht gesehen.  Ich weiß nicht, ob eine romantische Arztserie so mein Ding wäre, haha. (Wenn jemand hier die Show kennt, ist es sehenswert?)

    Außer Türkisch für Anfänger mag ich auch Der Tatortreiniger [2011]. Das ist eine ziemlich neue Entdeckung für mich und weil ich auf schwarze Komödie stehe, find ich die Serie toll!  „Meine Arbeit fängt da an, wo sich andere vor Entsetzen übergeben,“ einfach geil, haha.  Es gibt viele witzige Dialoge in jeder Folge.  Ich habe gelesen, dass der Drehbuchautor auch die berühmte Show „Stromberg“ geschrieben hat.  Ich habe nur ein paar Folgen davon gesehen und ja, es war lustig, aber VIEL zu ähnlich zu „The Office,“ auch vom Kamerastil her.

    Tja, das war‘s!  Wie gesagt, was für deutsche Filme und Fernsehserien guckt ihr gern, bzw. was könnt ihr mich empfehlen?  Ich glaube meine Perspektive von deutschen Filmen und Fersehserien ist immer noch zu amerikanisch.  Außer die Dagtekin-Produktionen und Der Tatortreiniger, habe ich hauptsächlich deutsche Filme gesehen, die auch in den USA herausgebracht wurden (und diese Auswahl ist ziemlich klein)!  Dazu haben die meisten etwas mit dem 2. Weltkrieg oder der DDR-Zeit zu tun, aber das ist ein ganz anderes Thema, haha. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr über eure Lieblingsfilme und -serien posten könntet!  Was das Genre betrifft, gucke ich am liebsten schwarze Komödien, aber ich bin nicht „picky.“  Mainstream oder experimental, egal!

     

    (Aber sag bitte nicht „Es gibt keine gute deutsche Serien.“ „Wenige gute Serien“ könnte ich vielleicht akzeptieren, aber diese Meinung habe ich von so vielen gehört und dann gucken sie nur synchronisierte ProSieben-Sendungen wie „Two and a Half Men“ und ich hasse diese Show, haha.)
