  1. @fitear1590: Totally love this idea! I'm a single man myself (no pun intended. Actually, intended.).
    @saishuu: Totally second Mizu Yume Miru...I LOVE the 3rd track.


    Dir en Grey - ain't afraid to die

     

    This is my absolute favorite Dir en Grey song of all time, dare I say in all of Japanese Rock. It's an awesome rock ballad with powerful vocals and melodies and features my favorite guitar solo from a song. I just feel like the band plays well here and it sounds like they're unified. There are 2 pretty sweet remixes included as well. While I'm not a big fan of Dir en Grey remixes, these 2 aren't so bad.



    Sadie - Kokui no shita no yokubou to, kunou no hate ni mita hyakkei no yuritachi

    (Not the version I wanted to show, but can't find the single version)

     

    I'm not exactly sure how to categorize this since the first song was re-recorded as a live distributed single, then included in their bleach mini, the second track was re-recorded for their first best-of compilation "Singles", and the last song was re-recorded for their "Undead 13+2" best of album which was also technically named as their first album........but imma just roll with it.

    I like Sadie's first single a lot because it shows what they originally sounded like before all their comparisons to Deg, etc. Surprisingly, before they were ripping off Dir en Grey, they were ripping off the GazettE.

    That was a joke.

    Well, sort of not. Aka Chou Chou is one of my favorite Sadie songs but it has an uncanny resemblance to the musical style of the GazettE in their indie days. There's a sort of Japonesque quality to the melodies (like in Akuuyukai) and the same raw and snazzy guitar playing similar to songs like "The Murder's TV" or anything off the "Hankou Seimeibun" mini album.

    Anyways, I love that style of vkei and Sadie does it really well. 


  2. Hah, true. I was so focused on his chin. Overall, he does like fine.

    Okayyyy enough about chin fats.

     

    What are everyone's favorite tracks from sukekiyo so far? Let's say Top 10.

    Mine are (in no order):

     

    1. elisabeth addict

    2. aftermath

    3. vandal

    4. kugui

    5. funingen

    6. in all weathers

    7. Leather Field

    8. Foster Mother

    9. Maniera

    10. Focus

     

    *I would have put down "dunes" as well, but I have some weird attachment to funingen. I do admit that dunes is a stronger track. But...it just doesn't have Nyan-Kyo.


  3. Hahaaaa I started using Last.fm for the first time like last month.

    Sad to see them go down like this. I really like the scrobbler, stats, and meeting others with similar tastes.

    In addition to iTunes, windows media player doesn't work for me either. Gotta use that foo.


  4. Great review Jigsaw!

    I like that you kept it short and too the point but still elaborated where needed.

    I think "foster mother", "leather field", and "focus" are my favorite tracks so far.

    Not gonna lie, 雨上がりの優詩 to me sounds like a sukekiyo interpretation of Dir en Grey's "Dozing Green". Not really, but kinda haha.

     

    I also agree that Vitium as a whole is a stronger release. I can never finish Immortalis in one sitting.

    I'm curious what people's opinions might be if Vitium was released first and then Immortalis.


  5. I'm looking for a place where I can buy out-of-print music like Closet Child or Puresound, but instead of Jrock I'm searching for Pop . 

    Ebay you have to be lucky and with Amazon it's usually the case that the seller won't ship it to you.

    Does anyone know any websites like that?

    Thanks!
