    Just curious, what's the longest it's ever taken for a CD to get shipped to you, with the SAL (slowest) shipping method from CDJapan?

    I know it says it takes 1-3 weeks (UP to 12 weeks). I've been using this method recently since the dollar/yen ratio blows and I can't afford to waste money on slightly faster shipping. Usually, my SAL shipments arrived in about a week and a half or 2 weeks max. For this current package, it's almost been a month and I'm still waiting. I know, I have 2 more months before I can officially worry, but still...

    Anyone ever had to wait super long using SAL?

    Wow, long time no see!

    Here are some of my favorite discoveries this year:

    JYTHoQ-ke3Q

    Great indie rock, awesome vocals.

    MPr0Dkn8sWU

    After Canzel disbanded, 3 members went on to form UNiTE. Forget the "oshare kei" label, this is straight up well-made pop-rock.

    Negoto is keyboard-led all-girl indie band. Great drumming and instrumentation all around.

    Anyway, welcome back.

    I don't know what it is, I really enjoy the old VK stuff, but I couldn't get into Aliene Ma'riage's album. (I only listened to it once, though)

    Seeing it on at least 2 of the top 10's means I'm gonna have to give it another try.

    Also, I'm so bad at these things. I hardly know what my top favorite VK bands would be and forget about albums. I'll mull it over and try to post at least a top 5 or something soon.

    Judging from the Kiddie, The Bubbles, and Blood Brothers, this sounds like Maiku!

    I think SLOD could fit into this thread. They're one of those pop-rock groups with a slight dramatic edge. They also have a heavy "japanese" sounding song, though. They seemed decent, but I think I remember trombe posting that their vocalist had left, so...

    Also, like some of these others, they have a lot (if not all) of their songs on youtube.

    Also, I'm actually looking forward to these newcomers, The Raid. The band seems to have mostly new members, so I'm surprised they sound so polished already (not to mention the nice budget for their first PV). I think they'll get popular pretty fast. To be honest though, this style of band has a tendency to get repetitive/generic very easily and incorporate lots of ill-fitting rapping parts (see ViViD). The drummer worries me with his visor, haha, but the fact that he's from Madiedour kind of gives me hope. Hoping they'll be good!

    The Raid.

    Levia has pretty impressive guitar work. And I didn't know they had a second single, so thanks for posting about them!

    I couldn't really get into the other stuff you posted, but I'll give some credit to ピーカーブゥ. There's just enough weirdness that makes me a little intrigued about them. It's kind of creepy, yet catchy; a little bit like early Aicle. "Not bad", haha.

    But lol at Ranmal vocalist being named "Puta".
