Their debut album is quite nice, I'm impressed! An enjoyable listen.

Hmmm I don't recognize some of these titles... but yay, Bauhaus cover! (which is, in itself, a T-Rex cover but nevermind xD) Old-schooool~

Samples of 3 songs (among them the live-dist one) can be listened to on their Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/the-hakkin/

Lookin' good!

^ Awesome! *3*

OMG AN ALBUM!! *O*

EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR YESSSS *__*

dayum, nice!

Well, only through my 2nd listen so far, but I can say this turned out to be a pretty decent album, as opposed to the dreadfully dull and weak-sounding last two albums (plus EXODUS, let's not talk about that at all). Maybe it's just my perceptions tricking me and the actual music isn't all that different from before, but this new punchy sterile production helps me greatly in listening, unlike the sandpaper sound of the previous release for example (that made everything lose its potential power). It's also nice that there's some variation between songs and more catchy parts, especially when they don't go "full force rawrararrrr" on us. Individual tracks don't stick in my mind just yet, but as I'm progressing through the tracklist there's always something fun to hear, so I'll be returning to this album more than previous ones I think. | finally, a lynch full-length I can get into again

Whoah, long list. xD

The mini album can now be pre-ordered from: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%99%A9%E6%88%90-THE-HAKKIN-%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3/dp/B00JKETFQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397122452&sr=8-1 http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Hakkin_000000000560567/item_%E6%99%A9%E6%88%90_5729801 Let's show our support~

Hope it's gonna be good~

It's important to note that this year is the band's 20th anniversary, so yeah, I guess we'll get maybe a reunion gig, but some best album thingie or collection for sure imo.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice *____*

@Tokage: I liked Coraline too, it was an interesting little movie! (one of my former uni colleagues actually did her MA Thesis on it, heh) @Bear: Glad you enjoyed Frankenstein's Army, it's one of the most fun horror flicks I've seen recently. Especially great because of the practical effects of the various creatures (instead of CGI overdose). My fave was the propellerhead, haha (and the one that was marching with those big lurching steps in one of the underground tunnel sequences, now that was menacing shit). Also, the last few scenes were hilarious as well.

Dunno for sure if they fit in here with their current music, but the latest album by The Horrors is pretty cool! Saying this as someone who rarely listens/tolerates most shoegazey dreampoppy stuff... this one is heavily drenched in neo-psychedelia and some electronic-y/krautrocky influences.

The new Animals as Leaders album is excellent! All dat jazz(metal & progressive & whatnot).

Cool! I hope we'll get to hear this somehow (even if just samples).

^ Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet I'm jelly as hell!! I bet it will be awesome but please report back to us after you witnessed it, if it was truly amazing. Finally, here's my '80s horror list... I had to weed out a lot of stuff to make this only 10. xD Also, this isn't in any concrete order. It would be better to rank the first five as "number 1" and the last five as "number 2" slot. 1. Hellraiser Best Cliver Barker adaptation I've seen so far (no wonder, he had a hand in it as well). Perfect, atmospheric, juicy, with some chilling and equally fun sequences. Gotta love the Cenobites! Actually, the sequel doesn't trail too far behind either. 2. The Beyond Lucio Fulci represent!! I just love the gritty, spooky feeling of the whole movie. The makeup effects are amazing albeit a bit cruddy (that adds to the whole thing imo), and it's all just one big nightmare ride of a film. 3. Inferno Almost as brilliant as its predecessor Suspiria, Dario Argento does it again! Stunning colors and lighting, lots of gruesome but somehow beautiful (and at times, absurd) scenes. The music doesn't really work all the time for me but it provides an interesting dimension nevertheless. 4. City of the Living Dead Lucio Fulci represent!! I just love the gritty, spooky feeling of the whole movie. The makeup effects are amazing albeit a bit cruddy (that adds to the whole thing imo), and it's all just one big nightmare ride of a film. [2] heh. 5. Demons Imagine Demons 2 being here as well. Overall a very fun experience with some disgusting demons killing off people trapped in a cinema (watching a movie about demons no less, lol) -- what more do you want? Oh right... cheese-tastic heavy metal to accompany it all. Contains one of the best ridiculous action scenes in horror. 6. Re-Animator One of my favorite comical horror movies ever, I just cannot get tired of it. Major respect and props to Stuart Gordon (director) and Jeffrey Combs (playing the hilarious lead role) for twisting this Lovecraft tale into something exceptionally fun to watch. A ton of laughs and gorey/gross moments. 7. *insert an '80s John Carpenter horror here* Seriously. Carpenter made some of his most excellent work in this decade, I simply cannot choose. I love The Fog because of its inducing fear with simplicity, The Thing with the chilling (heh) creatures and sense of isolation, Prince of Darkness spooking me out with all the apocalyptic religious Satanic stuff (and awesomely casting Donald Pleasence as usual), and finally They Live with its subtle hints of sci-fi paranoia. 8. Tetsuo: Iron Man Okay, we could argue if this is really horror or not, but to me it represents the finest of what Japan has to offer in the 'body horror' subgenre, drowned in a thick sauce of that typical junkyard aesthetic of low-budget Japanese cyberpunk. Totally weird and insane black-n-white feature with some amazing visuals and unforgettable soundtrack (courtesy of Japanese industrial music god Chu Ishikawa). 9. Videodrome Speaking of body horror...yeah, I couldn't leave Cronenberg out of this. I was a bit torn in choosing this or The Fly or Scanners, but this movie is somehow a bit closer to my heart. Maybe because of all the lovely imagery, body fusing with technology, minds warping, reality blurring and whatnot. Plus, it has a pretty~ hot Debbie Harry, so yeah. 10. The Hitcher Oh boy, this looming menacing atmosphere, I just love it. Rutger Hauer is the star of the show here clearly, portraying the enigmatic and psycho drifter dude of the title. Whenever he appears on screen you just know shit will go down, but the pacing is so sadistic how they draw out some stuff for the tension, it's awesome. +1 "cuz I just remembered this one" Angel Heart Damn, this movie. Imagine if Jacob's Ladder had a baby with an X-Files episode and up the spook factor a few notches. Incredibly well-done mystical thriller/horror starring (a still decent-looking) Mickey Rourke and Robert de Niro, crossing over into nightmare territory with no turning back. @Bear I love how there's almost literally no overlaps between our lists this time. I do love the Evil Dead movies of course, they almost made the list. The Argento movies you listed are cool too. I must confess tho, I haven't seen a single "Friday" movie, nor a "Nightmare" one (okay, maybe the 4th or 5th? loooong time ago, can't remember).

lol @ Jusus Cool potential song selection nevertheless.

I only listened to it once so far, but have no desire to try again. Sounded weak, lame, and weirdly produced.

He will also release his new digital single 紙飛行機 (Kamihikouki) on 2014/06/11. 01. 紙飛行機 (Kamihikouki) 02. Parmesan Cheese * 03. ひばり (Hibari) * * non-album tracks
