Finally, one of my J-music Holy Grails has arrived... ;w; Chu Ishikawa's glorious 3-CD Tetsuo Complete Box, featuring music from the cult classic Tetsuo movies, plus unreleased tracks and mixes (and a sick booklet). Also, the box is so thick, damnnn! lol

A tape... gah, make CD's for crying out loud... at least with those there's a hope!

First lot of orders ready to be sent
 
thank you all for your patience 

Didn't post something in a long time, but I went to their free One-Man in Osaka and thought you guys could be interested in some impressions of their sound and their overall performance, since there aren't any previews yet.
 
Many melodies are peerless Shounenki-ish but with more consistency this time, whereas Shounenki suffered a lot of not finding their own trademark sound. Overall more on the heavy and rocky side. I really liked -あと少し-, -お祈り- and -策略-, which were certainly the most remarkable. The first two have that typical Shounenki-feeling and -お祈り- reminded me strongly of Weakness my Blood, but in a more balladish way and without the rap-parts. The chorus was a killer one.  -策略- was their heaviest track  and started with that bounzy riff, which appeared strongly influenced by the Gazettes Rage. Maybe their best live-song yet. On the other hand I didn't like -ナイン-, because the songs was so weak compared to the rest. Can't understand why they selected it as their first single and as last song for the live.
 
Their live-performance was surprisingly good, especially Seras vocals were better than expected. But all growls and backing vocals were from tape and that was a little bit underwhelming. Just let the things out, which you can't deliver in the live situation.
 
 

Members are allowed to review what they want and there is no requirement for it to be freely available for download first. This has been the rule and this will continue to be the rule. Plenty of websites on the internet post reviews of releases without providing much more than a sample and they survive just fine. And the members there thank the reviewer for sharing his/her thoughts and look forward to hearing it for themselves instead of advising them to stay quiet until they can illegally download it. Be thankful @desparejo86 didn't write this review with a tone of superiority and honestly wants more members to support the scene.
 
Most music ever released will eventually find its way onto the internet. Be patient. Free downloads have spoiled you all.

Any more off-topic meta discussion will be deleted.
 

Jesus Christ.
I posted this review to encourage people to fucking buy it  because it's a good single worth buying. And if you like the band but aren't going to buy it, here's a heads up: the new release is good.
 
It was like ten bucks at the zoisite online shop. They ship overseas.  Everyone does have the same access.
 
Are you seriously asserting that someone would write a review to brag about having ten dollars?
 

The forums here are separate forums here for a reason. Just because you wish them to be connected does not make it so. Some users here never use the download forum, and some only use the download forum. To limit what some can write about because we have multiple forums is unnecessary and hurts the website as a whole. It's like asking trombe to ONLY post news on artists in the download forum, or not listing things in the release calendar by artists not already shared here. We want to encourage new information and shared discussion here, not limit it. 

Look guys, this is a review forum. If you go to ANY website and read a review, are you butthurt because that person didn't upload it for you too? I like to read reviews on alt press and unite asia and rolling stone. Should I be angry I don't own most of the things they write about? If someone reviews an old out of print release are we going to be angry about that too? Where does it end? If anything some people will get to hear about a release they would otherwise know nothing about. I think there's value in sharing that information. How does reviewing a release suddenly equal bragging? The simple answer is that it doesn't and people are making a big deal about literally NOTHING. Review whatever you feel like reviewing. 

People should be allowed to review what they want to review, shouldn't they? What's the point of having a review section otherwise? If people are gonna get salty over the fact that they can't get their hands on something, that' s their problem...

Since there is no full-length album release in sight, I may as well review the single for those curious.
 
The track is great! Quite a departure from the material on the "Switch" EP,  "In Secret" is a reserved, mid tempo rocker; dark and very Kagerou-esque. It opens with a haunting harmonized guitar line that leads into a choppy riff. The verse has a great melody that is actually kind of enka-sounding, while Yuana, Kazu, and amon bang out the chords in unison . The chorus has those reaching, drawn out lines that Kagerou is remembered for, but Selm's voice is a lot fuller than Daisuke's was, and is really makes STEREO.C.K. so different from Kagerou, despite having both Yuana and Kazu in the band. And I absolutely love amon's tasteful drumming as well; he gets the job done without throwing in the slightest of ego-driven fills.
 
I am in love with this track. Can't wait for the "Nos Black" single to go on sale to the public, and am more than ready for a full length!!

What noise does he want us to make?
