Ahh I vaguely remember these guys, they're not bad. Looking forward to the new release!

Started the new Sailor Moon. The first ep gave me all kinds of nostalgic feels awww. Seems good so far.

^ LUNA MATTINO is confirmed to be a LUNA SEA cover band, yep! I would guess MALICE MIZER for the other one too, but dunno for sure. This lineup looks kickass as hell btw. Bummed that I can't be there. xD

I see, thanks! (and thx @Trombe for the PM) Maybe it's just some weird way of trolling us again, we'll see. xD

Hmmm interesting... edit: Here it says something that they're gonna stop activities (?) http://natalie.mu/music/news/120690

Cool... colorful guitars, haha.

I'm not rly into purely electronic brostephousewhatevercore music but really digging Savant's stuff recently. Some cool electro sounds.

This is an interesting one... Although their stuff irritated me to no end in the past, I'm gonna have to go with Kiryu because I'm finding myself to be enjoying their stuff more lately, and their sound has some surprising and fun elements. Royz never left much of an impression on me, tho their newest album (the first release I ever listened from them all the way through) was okay-ish enough.

Calmando Qual was pretty much flawless . . . from 2003 to 2006. In contrast, Lycaon managed to deliver some decent tunes sprinkled throughout their entire career so far (yes, I do have a soft spot for the erotic kei era ), so gonna have to go with them.

Nice review, haha. I can't verify everything said here because I just had to turn off the album after track-4, couldn't take it any longer. Seems like it was the right choice to do. 0/10 would bang with a hand grenade tied to a baseball bat

I must admit this duo completely slipped under my radar before, even though they had already released quite a kickass debut record last year (this one I'm reviewing here is their first major album, 2nd release in total). I first became intrigued when I was shown the PV for the opening track イイナヅケブルー, which is a completely addictive and repetitive (two things that walk hand in hand here) electro-pop dance number with some slick rap parts and catchy chorus. The Charisma girls are at their best when they do this type of style, and, accordingly, they sure like to utilize their talents in this area, manifesting in some pretty sweet songs such as LOOKER, ジェンガジェンガ or Train HELL. It doesn't get boring of course because, even if these songs are in a similar style, they sprinkle random fun twists throughout (I'm not qualified enough in electronic music to know these various subgenre-hints tho). The duo adds more variety by delivering some tracks that are reminiscent of more straightforward J-pop or songs that are a bit softer. I personally think these instances are the weaker links of the album for the most part, tho it is kinda nice for them to chance it up once in a while. Anyway, they both stand their ground firmly, providing some catchy moments as usual. The album ends on a note that is kinda typical of the whole sound of the release, which is always a good thing to do - the combo of the last three tracks is pretty killer! Even on the first listen lots of songs burrowed themselves deep into my mind, addictive stuff indeed, as I already mentioned. One of the best Japanese releases this year for me, for sure! I do recommend it strongly for lovers of modern electronic pop (with hints of rap and dance music) to check it out. | tons of cool tunes & very little filler, great for replaying again and again

They have a nice sound, looking forward to the new vocalist.

I surprisingly enjoyed their last album, so looking forward to this one as well!

Can't say that these previews left a mark on me, but so far so good.

Aww, too bad that it's another live-limited release. Anyway not that I'm complaining, it's always good to see new WW music being released.

Sounds nice indeed.

Thanks for the vid! Sounds good so far.

awww sounds bad. Hope he will get better soon~

guitarist's beard game too strong Anyway, seems like an okay/decent song.

ooh~ interesting lineup

The variety is nice! Props for the OFWGKTA artists, Aphex Twin/AFX, Devin Townsend stuff and Vektor! \m/ Well our compatibility is "super" too, so yeah. ayy~ http://www.last.fm/user/JigsawJohnny

I don't even have to strain myself. Only one word: Aldious. *drops mic, victoriously goes out* 'kay, come at me bros~ http://www.last.fm/user/JigsawJohnny

lol

Deliver Us From Evil - It was directed by the same dude who did Sinister, that is all you need to know. If you liked that you will prolly enjoy this one too. I thought it was extremely predictable, irritating at places (no less because of those faint moments where it was actually good... why couldn't they put that kinda stuff throughout the whole movie??). They tried to somehow mash up exorcism horror with cop thriller, props for that, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Just the usual modern horror flick with the usual shortcomings (didn't we have enough of the jump scares over this past decade already??).

Wondering how different the remixes will be..
