I second all said here by DogManX. BABYMETAL is not really "metal", cause it kills the real idea of metal. (same for white metal bands, that's not actual metal) And I'm not saying it HAS to be produced in some way and only in that way. I just prefer that way. And I'm talking only about music. Other kinds of media have their own purpose.

You listen to k-pop and at the same time is proud of having 1015 artists on your library, thinking you know something about music. Better try harder and listen to more genres so we can talk. Bye. There's a link to my last.fm down there...

Just something to throw away time... I'm dressing black skinny jeans, black leather jacket and Iron Maiden t-shirt (I have three Iron Maiden t-shirts LOL) What are you guys dressing? XD

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

It's really catchy to listen to, but the kawaiiness is annoying sometimes (that's part of the reason I dropped anime almost completely). And I don't like the way it is produced. BABYMETAL is just a selling machine. Well produced music, yes, but still just a selling machine. I enjoy when artists make a song themselves and put their souls on it. The musicians behind BABYMETAL are just making music to sell, nothing else. And the girls are also singing and dancing to sell. There's no purpose beyond that. Lame.

NB innovated a little on their last releases. They tried some ~new~ stuff. Their sound became kind of more commercial appealing, but I think they innovated a little. But for DEATHGAZE, yeah, almost always the same stuff (and I still headbang hard to them).

How am I supposed to hold my orgasms?

My two favorite bands of all time... didn't see that coming. Well, I go with DELUHI, they sound better. I feel there's more creativity on DELUHI songs than on GALEYD's.

I also checked a song by Chemical Pictures. I enjoyed them, the song I listened to (Walking Ashland) is pretty creative to my ears. After all I have the question: why the f**k is Tenten singing like this on My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND? He can make his voice sound strong. Tenten, please...

^ Thanks for it. His vocals are more expressive on these songs, I can like how it sounds. Not weak at all. I liked more the second song, I'm more fond to heavy stuff.

I was expecting more. I'm that kind of guy who run the eyes through a band look and thinks "they have an awesome look, let's check the sound". Their look is awesomely produced, but their music... Meh. The core-ish instrumentals got my attention since I got really into core music by the last months. That combined with the drive vocals... wow, it's powerful! Maybe generic, but powerful. The problem is: clean vocals don't fit. I never heard Tenten before and am going to do because I wanna know more of his work since everyone says good things about him. But for this release: weak clean vocals imo. 2/5

Kinda afraid now. I can't listen to some metal/metalcore bands without headbanging ;-; I know the chances are small, but still scared XD

K-Pop. Every artist, single, album, song. Because it's so commercial it gets lame. I know it's kinda hypocrite saying this while being a vk fan, but come on, vk is not that commercial when compared to k-pop. It's all auto tune and almost no actual instruments at all. I don't think they deserve our money.

Nope, they released Kassai to Gekijou no GLORIA last year. So it was kinda fast to announce a new album. Anyway, I'm pretty excited for it since they are a great band.

Thanks guys XD Yes, I am the same Youko from there ^^

So... I created my account here last year but never introduced myself. Shame on me, right? I've been listening to japanese music since 2010, and on the first day of 2011 my sister (she's actually a friend, but I consider her as a sister XD) showed me Stray Cat by alice nine. (I like writing their name this way even if they don't use it anymore). First time I saw them I couldn't believe they were all men haha, but then I got used to it, met more visual kei and non-visual kei japanese bands and here I am. I am addicted to japanese rock and metal (not all bands and subgenres, but ok) probably because I like japanese language and vocals. Japanese vocals use to be different from another countries, right? You can call me just Youko. I use Youko_o here cause I couldn't use just Youko >: I am a dude from Brazil and I enjoy to discuss music with people from around the world. I already do that on EdohSama's chatbox sometimes XD My favorite bands are certainly DELUHI and GALEYD, followed by ALSDEAD, D'espairsRay, the GazettE, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST and so on. You can check my last.fm if you want (and feel free to add). I do not listen only to japanese music, there are bands from another countries that I am very fond too. http://www.lastfm.com.br/user/Youko_o
