    Visual kei "jazz".

    It causes some to do this: :arg:

    And others this: :domo:

    I'm somewhere in the middle of the :arg:--------- :domo: scale. I think the idea is nice and find a few of the bands nice, but they're definitely getting a bad name nowadays with Lycaon ~"sexy kei" edition~ mucking it all up. Of course many of the bands don't come close to "jazz," but I still find the swingy/rocky/ska-ish hybrid sometimes pretty cool. (Btw, relating to the ska aspect: see the recent Lycaon shoutbox for Zesshoku's lengthy owning of a certain someone.) I don't think just because it's not jazz, it's automatically bad, just misnamed. If nothing else, usually the basslines and drumming are better than usual. Still, plenty of bands don't exactly pull it off in any aspect, haha. The thing that tends to piss me off is when bands that are generally rock/alternative oriented throw in one of these so-called "jazzy" tracks on a single or album, just to show how "experimental" they are (D is actually an exception, see below). It's not experimental when so many other VK bands do it. It's about as experimental a creaking floorboard/thunder SE track or the repetitive heavy track with lots of growling that switches to a poppy chorus. Anyway, enough ranting. Like I said, I actually like a few bands/ songs, such as:

    モダン組曲

    HPads0EPaHg

    Rubik (ルービック)

    kIsAA8Ibpnw

    Moran

    ryKHo9AnhXA

    DQDj4HomzTo

    As mentioned above, D

    the end of the cm is awesome
    love the guitars at the end too
    I love the ending with heavy guitars
    I'm really diging the end of the preview with the guitars

    :wat: I'm pretty sure any band that's ever had a "heavy" moment has played that exact riff. Don't get too excited.

    But the rest of the preview sounds alright to me.

    Here's a live version of their single from last month, メルシールー.

    Also, I found this interesting. SEKAI NO OWARI's guitarist did a "remix" of their previous single Charon (This is actually track #4 on that メルシールー single). The style's a bit softer, but it's still a great song.

    As you can see, their previous singles are on there (and the b-side "ビーサイド"), but otherwise it's new songs! I'm so excited to listen to this album. I've been more and more impressed with them, with each release. We'll see, but I'm thinking this will be a great release for the "The Non-visual Promotion Thread," hint hint! :cookie:

    Takatori Reiji kinda touched on it in his post, but just to give a firm update.

    According to rikic at the undercode LJ page:
