Okay, that makes me feel better (kinda). As long as it's not lost. Guess I'll just keep waiting! Thanks everyone.

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. 6BhF_xkMRHM Negoto is keyboard-led all-girl indie band. Great drumming and instrumentation all around. Anyway, welcome back.

Lol, awesome. Shame they don't have a larger selection of the permanent avatars. I wonder what kinds of shenanigans they'll have for December's "holiday" season.

Haha, totally understandable. Okay, well we should plan for next Saturday then!

Okay, so today doesn't work? Maybe next weekend, we can try for Saturday evening. (Maybe one of the sexy mods can promote this in the announcements so we can try to get more people )

Should we make it for next weekend so more people can see this? Otherwise I'm down for TT tonight at like 5 pm EST. I hope that's not too late for you Neon?!

Would anyone be willing to meet up in the MH room tomorrow evening or next weekend? Not necessarily a theme night, but just a scheduled time so as many members as possible can be there.

So, that means Marshall Lee is supposed to post something now, right? Or does anyone do it now?

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.

Forget about ViViD and join us, Maiku!

Stoked for this!

DangerCrueRecords uploaded the "starting over" PV on youtob: MPr0Dkn8sWU omgomgomg, I'm too excited. Yui has come a long way since his ALiBi days and sounds pretty good now. The music/arrangements are unmistakably Shiina Mio-ish, haha. Great stuff.

You can listen to the samples of the limited edition on Japanese iTunes! The 4 old songs sound like they are rerecorded! Overall, sounds pretty cool. 絶望クリエイター is kind of shocking, though.

Lol, pretty much this! I'm happy Ringo/ TJ are being so productive! If a new Ringo solo album comes soon after this, I'll be sextremely sexcited!

The band version of the nyan cat song is really nice!

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

I would say Cat or Aion, because they would have the manpower of over 1000 Japanese indie band members to help them out.

Hahaha, how will anyone ever be able to search this band name?!

wtf, my dear icchi is doing more singing?!? Just come out of retirement already!

Maybe you could get a shopping service to contact them? I've done that before, even when there was not necessarily a "shop" section on their website?? (This doesn't always work, but it's worth a try!) Good luck!

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. SLOD Vo. Kaito Gt. HIRO Ba. RYOYA Dr. 優太 myspace -gFtDycT7_Q G-PV6cS9Qlc 8zRTl1m5xbw ==================================================== 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".

Damn, that really sucks, but thanks for the warning ramrod. Fortunately, I have already moved to other services by now. (Mukunoki just got too expensive) I've been using japan auction agency lately (http://www.japan-auction-agency.com/) and I haven't had any problems thus far.

It literally seems like they do 1 DVD for every 1-2 CD releases.
