That is an excellent PLASTICZOOMS song... which unfortunately reminds me how I can't get into most of their other stuff after that first release. 1. Alice Nine - 銀の月 黒い星 (Gin no tsuki kuroi hoshi) 2. MAD3 - IL MATT 3. Chelsea Wolfe - Deep Talks 4. Meshuggah - In Death - Is Life 5. ハッピーサッド (Happysad) - ため息にブルース (Tameiki ni Blues) 6. Dué le quartz - 明鏡止水 (Meikyou shisui) 7. Death - The Philosopher 8. Gire - Nádak, erek 9. DER ZIBET - A-10γ 10. Radio Futura - La Casa Del Amor Definitely the Dlq song! So nostalgic and full of memories of back when I started getting into Japanese music.

Thanks for the links! The songs sound pretty cool.

Awesome! Will be ordering the mini.

(Only recently started getting into them but) cool!

Go for Easy CD-DA Extractor if you can get your hands on a cracked version (Piratebay?). I also heard from other people that the Foobar audio player has a built-in converting option, so maybe that's a better bet.

Happy pink birthday, pinkmakona!

Yay, The Rocky Horror Picture Show!! Also nice random choices for MALICE MIZER and 犬神サーカス団. 1. Pink Floyd - When You're In 2. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas - The Answer for Unequal World 3. AA= - <Electrik-Zweep> 4. Psyclon Nine - You Know What You Are 5. Tom Waits - Singapore 6. The Kills - The Search For Cherry Red 7. Exmortus - Khronos (Forever in the Void) 8. The Horrors - I Can See Through You 9. Nachtmahr - Katharsis (SAM Remix) 10. Dismember - Europa Burns Gonna have to go with FaLiLV, it's a pretty kickass song (plus I don't really favor the others, not that they're bad tho or anything xD).

Hi there & welcome!

@Peace seems like it comes from Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca", skip to about 0:45 (or it just sounds super-similar xD).

That reminds me how I tried to get into Crystal Castles because they have that one song that I really love (Crimewave), and I think I listened through most of their stuff but... found out that it's just not doing it for me. 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dosed 2. The Seatbelts - What Planet Is This?! 3. Plastic Tree - Hello 4. Nirvana - Hairspray Queen 5. uSSSy - Holyshit 6. メリー (Merry) - オリエンタルBLサーカス (Oriental BL Circus) 7. Dethklok - The Cyborg Slayers 8. BOØWY - IMAGE DOWN 9. Krizz Kaliko - Unstable 10. Cradle of Filth - All Hope in Eclipse Definitely have to go with BOØWY here, awesome fast/punky song, a classic - especially the live version is always fun, that my player actually jumped to in this case.

I'm terrible at classical music & composers so dunno who the original melody is by but: MALICE MIZER's Madrigal from about 2:22 to 2:36 or so.

Hi there~ welcome!

Sweet! Definitely gonna buy the single.

Those are nice, especially Laruku, A9, amber gris and DISH! Glad you like them. Some cool non-mainstream bands to check out in my opinion (don't know how many you already know of): deadman, dieS, emmurée, KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND, Lament., L'eprica, Lillies and Remains, lloy, Miss Jelly Fish, MUNIMUNI, Psysalia Psysalis Psyche, Strawberry Song Orchestra, the god and death stars, Vior gloire, ZIZ (most of these operate within a kind of post-punk / goth / dark-rock area)

I know most of those bands, it's overall a pretty nice selection - almost kinda thematic! 1. Cannibal Corpse - Put Them to Death 2. Kispál és a Borz - Minden rendben 3. メリー (Merry) - コックドール・ママ (Coq D'or Mama) 4. Marduk - Pompa Funebris 1660 5. STELLA... - 白ノ恋、雪ト消ユ。(Shiro no koi, yuki to kiyu.) 6. REDЯUM - 涙 (Namida) 7. DEAD END - Blackout 8. Kiscsillag - Hú de sötét 9. Voivod - Warriors of Ice 10. Eve of Destiny - You Killed Me First Wow this is all-over-the-place. xD I have to choose EoD as my favorite from here. Cool industrial/darkwave tune.

Hi there, welcome! Any favorite bands or genres? (either Japanese and non-Japanese?)

Truly wonderful, this band was. I like aie's current projects too but nothing can touch deadman's greatness.

Iggy Pop, Sonic Youth, Clan of Xymox, niiiice I must also say that I like the Iggy version of that song a lot more than Bowie's one. Oh and I always wanted to try Siouxsie and the Banshees, can you recommend a good starter album? (in PM) 1. Kagrra, - 鵺の哭く頃 (Nue no naku koro) 2. The Smiths - Paint A Vulgar Picture 3. Mastodon - Dry Bone Valley 4. The Smiths - Accept Yourself 5. 清春 (Kiyoharu) - TATTOO 6. Hour of Penance - Misconception 7. Carcass - Vomited Anal Tract 8. Violator - The Shadow Of Death 9. JUDE - Happy Days 10. amber gris - element of soul

Noir fleurir - 黒き華の千年期～真章 (2CD) ...on an auction for cheap.

^ No info whatsoever, sorry (at least vkdb doesn't state whether they're doing anything music-related).

Thanks for the info! Song sounds not bad, haha. Interesting to hear this style from him, after Kuroyume. xD

Cool! Song titles sound nice.

Btw they only said that they will start recording in the future, no release date or anything yet. For all we know it might only be released towards the end of the year (I'm guessing around early autumn/winter maybe?). Anyway, hoping they'll have enough time and enough decent ideas.

Hmm not bad!
