CodeRebirth - short lived but I loved everything they put out DELUHI - perhaps still are my favourite band that ever was GALEYD - followed these guys from the very start Signal - gutted that I missed their last ever live by 3 days Versailles - I can't get into either Jupiter or solo Kamijo Those are the ones that immediately come to mind. Of course there's a bunch more but these are all fairly recent.

I accidentally stole some cookies from the supermarket a few months ago. I went through self checkout and by the time I noticed they weren't scanned I'd already paid.

These guys are on it! Now to get a copy...

is it in fact already 'dirty'?

UPDATE~ I'm looking for reasonable prices, not auction prices. But, I will negotiate for rarez.

Opinions. Everyone has them. I don't judge people for theirs, so please don't judge me about mine. I love music, and I love my girlfriend. For me, there's a time for both, and it's rarely together. That's all I have to say on this topic.

Do I sound weird if I say... none? Sex for me is about doing something intimate with someone you have intimate feelings for, not jumping on top of the next moving object, thrusting to completion, and changing the playlist.

That's unfortunate. Get well soon shiki.

I'm struggling to find much of the 'classic ONE OK ROCK feeling' on this album at all. It's alright I guess, but it's such a departure from where the guys have come from that I can't help but feel like they've missed the mark this time. The major factors I think made me feel this way are the Western influence, and the lack of Japanese lyrics, only appearing briefly in a couple of tracks. For me, a long time fan of OOR, it was the excellent use of English that helped my younger self get into their music. But they have always been an energetic, punk-inspired Japanese rock band. 35xxxv in comparison sounds like bland, mainstream Western rock with not a lot of soul. There's a handful of good songs here, but for me these are sadly mainly the ones we've heard before. Mighty Long Fall is an excellent lesson in pacing that gets the blood pumping when the crescendo reaches a powerful chorus. Cry out retains more of that OOR sound than most of the other songs on this album, and it's pretty catchy to boot. Stuck in the middle was a good pick me up after the album began to lose my interest (and that collaboration song? Worst thing they ever did xD) I really hope that the more I listen to 35xxxv, the more it will grow on me. But as it stands, this is perhaps the weakest album in OOR's now extensive discography, and because of that I am much more likely to go back and listen to the stuff I like than I am to spin this disappointment again too often.

So um, guys, it's a bed sheet. With GACKT on it. Riiiight.

What the hell does it come with that justifies 13,500 yen?

Well we know this band didn't record their music on a potato.

This. Although Let Go was pretty catchy.

LORELEI - DELUHI Where will you die?

It's really cool that you're doing photography, I studied it at A level (I guess high school level) in England, for a while that was my dream too! I agree with you on the teal over cyan, it's a bit less in-your-face. For the front, I like D or B (although I would do away with the blue line on the Y and just leave the one on the V). G is also nice, simple, and gets the job done. For the back, I like A (the white background on the text in B is a bit too much) and F (despite having a lot of space, the arrow points to your credentials, which always draws the eye there!).

I found the lyrics on Yoshiatsu's (vo.) blog. Japanese, Romaji and my English translation below. 「溺れる魚」 透き通った水槽の世界 こぼした墨はもう掬えない 魚たちは口をひろげて それに浸かっているんだ 金で買える事実 並べられた模型 馴れ合いの踏み台 痛くないくせに 溺れる魚 水槽の中 鳥かごの鳥 窮屈な空 いつしか僕ら気づかないまま 愛も憎しみも 消えて 消えて 暗い ただ ただ ただ テレビに映る 綺麗なものが 僕たちの目を 悪くするんだ わずかに残る 温もりにさえ 値をつけるのだろう？ 消えて 消えて 暗い ただ ただ ただ 溺れる魚 水槽の中 ライトの上に 積もったホコリ スーツのそれは 偉そうにして 英雄を名乗り ここが ここが すべて？ 飛行機が落ちて たくさん死んで テレビの数字 明日には忘れ 幼馴染の よく遊んだ子 自殺したってさ かわいそう そうね 名前も思い出せない さあ 夜には眠ろう 明かり 消して 「本当」の 人は 欲望は 世界は 夜蠢く おやすみ Oboreru Sakana sukitootta suisou no sekai koboshita sumi wa mou sukuenai sakanatachi wa kuchi wo hirogete sore ni tsukatteiru nda kane de kaeru jijitsu naraberareta mokei nareai no fumidai itakunai kuse ni oboreru sakana suisou no naka torikago no tori kyuukutsu na sora itsushika bokura kidzukanai mama ai mo nikushimi mo kiete kiete kurai tada tada tada TEREBI ni utsuru kirei na mono ga bokutachi no me wo warukusuru nda wazuka ni nokoru nukumori ni sae ne wo tsukeru no darou? kiete kiete kurai tada tada tada oboreru sakana suisou no naka RAITO no ue ni tsumotta HOKORI SU-TSU no sore wa erasou ni shite eiyuu wo nanori koko ga koko ga subete? hikouki ga ochite takusan shinde TEREBI no suuji asu ni wa wasure osananajimi no yoku asonda ko jisatsu shita tte sa kawaisou sou ne namae mo omoidasenai sa yoru ni wa nemurou akari keshite ‘hontou’ no hito wa, yokubou wa, sekai wa yoru ugomeku oyasumi Drowning Fish In the transparent world of a fish tank The spilled ink can no longer be extracted The fish open their mouths And are immersed in the ink The truth that money can buy Dolls lined up in a row A stand* of conspiracy Despite the lack of pain The fish drowning in their tank The caged bird in a confined sky Unaware, we don’t even notice Neither love nor hate Fading… It’s the dark reality The beautiful things on television Worsen our vision Do we assign a price To even the little warmth that remains?

SO F'N PUMPED FOR THIS! -runs off to book someone to get it for me-

Actually to be fair most albums are less than 3000 yen, the limited edition is usually around 2800.

Drumming is pretty repetitive, but at least they have a new guy already. Why not just one single with 3 tracks and an SE? On the upside the SEs might be the ones from their previous live recordings that haven't been released yet. And a mini-album! These guys are relentless.

The alternative story: Sega is firing everyone related even by office or email from the team who made Sonic Boom, and because it caused a Sonic Boom in their finances, they are no longer able to afford to make physical packaging for their video games. As a result, Sega will only be distributing games digitally from now on, and they will attempt to claw back some cash from cheap Sonic figurines.
