Mihenno

I just found out that the PSN store put up Dark Cloud for download. That game was a crucial part of my childhood. 
 

 
It's a great dungeon crawler RPG where you build-up weapons and they have this Georama system thing where you have to rebuild towns. It's a really great game and everyone should play it, although I feel like nobody has. xD

it is announced at FEST VAINQUEUR one-man live at Ibaraki JACK LION at 2016/01/09 that their best album "ベストばんくーる(BEST VAINQUEUR)" will be released at 2016/04/27 (4 TYPE)
 
limited edition TYPE A (3,240yen) will include CD+DVD (including new song PV & off-shot), limited edition TYPE B (3,240yen) will include CD+DVD (including "現代的疑惑都市"DOUBT"!"

There are quite a lot of personal favourites on this list that I wouldn't have thought would have made it to other people's collections besides my very own. Those include (but are not limited to) 凛 -the end of corruption world-, VANIRU,  My Fairytale and Rides In ReVellion. I do enjoy it when I see others who are not solely focusing on the heavy releases that came out in the last year, but seem to entertain a more subtle and clear sound. 

OMG YES

All hail Yuuki god Melissa TT_TT <3.

アンフィル - LUNAR PHASE



Honestly...fuck. This whole album is          

Shogo's vocals make me feel like I'm being twirled around in a sea of erotic whispers.

---

 

AvelCain - 片想い



This song gets me with the fucking piano. I blast this shit on repeat whenever it comes on.

---

 

CLØWD - #夏の微熱



I thought their フィクションØ album was atrocious honestly, but this single saved CLØWD for me.

I normally don't like short songs that are like 2mins long but Take_53 was a banger.

Obviously the title track was fucking amazing too.

---

 

DADAROMA - 「dadaism#1」



I'm all for jazz kei and this blew me away.

I really enjoy MONEY and モルヒネ#2

---

 

Develop One’s Faculties - 「reincarnation」



I couldn't care less if some of their songs sound similar to each other.

These guys are brilliant with their catchy compositions.

"insert memory" more like "insert this awesome 3-songs-in-1 into my fucking ears"

---

 

DIV - イケナイKISS



Holy shit did I hate the cheesy music video for this single but the song delivered. 

They kept the catchiness of SECRET NIGHT and made a banger with イケナイKISS.

I miss how DIV used to sound but they pull off space-club-electro-rock flawlessly.

---

 

the GazettE - DOGMA



---

 

グリモア - ぼくとタルパ



I miss PIECE so much, but I'm starting to really get into Grimoire.

This release blows their 1st one right out of the water.

Hot spooky carnival kei

---

 

Kra - 次の物語



Hands down probably my favorite album of 2015. Kra never disappoints.

For such an amazing album, the artwork is horrendously ugly. A hat on a white background? Same.

---

 

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Wings Flap



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

 

凛 -the end of corruption world- - Memento-Mori



UGHHH!HH!!!!!!!!!! 

---

 

the LOTUS - Providence of BIONIC



This was one of my favorite surprises. I had no idea how often I'd listen to this.

All 4 tracks are fucking bangin' 

---

 

Lycaon - Camera obscura



FUCKING HOT

---

 

My Fairytale - 鳥籠トロイメライ



Kate's fucking voice tho...

Sing me to sleep and trap me in a fucking birdcage made out of my dreams.

---

 

Purple Stone - アオイヤミ



THIS SONG IS FUCKIN POPPIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

 

Rides in ReVellion - -CHAIN-



---

 

少年記 - 最果てのドール



Kou my fucking queen never disappoints.

---

 

Sick² - マーチング・アント



This is so unbelievably catchy it should be illegal.

---

 

TRA TRA TRA - 「所詮、女宿り」



WASURENAIDEEEEEEEE

---

 

VANIRU - MASQUERADE OF COSMIC



VANIRU puzzles me. They deliver this fantastic album and then their next 2 releases are subpar as fuck?

Memory of Mayfly        

---

 

vistlip - LAYOUT



My bbies. I was so blown away by REM SLEEP that I got goosebumps and started shaking.

Spectacular!!

---

 

FoLLoW - プラネタリウム



OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD I CANT STOP AND WONT STOP LISTENING TO THIS ON REPEAT.

---

 

Thanks for reading!!!

That L'arc song is pretty good, isn't it? I don't really listen to them very often but when I was shown the PV i really liked the song!
I've seen VANIRU everywhere so I feel like i should definitely check them out.
Plus, VISTLIP love <3
Thanks for sharing your list!!

YASSS, @Mi'ihen-core!
GRIMOIRE is one of my favorite VK surprises this year. Glad to see a fellow fan! I agree about DIV's single; awful PV, but pretty great song! Not sure about the b-sides though... Shounenki is also growing on me! Can't deny Kou's vocals!
I wanted to like Anfiel's album a lot more, because I loved their first single, but for some reason I can't get into their arrangements. They sound a bit too midi or something. Although, I recall the closing track being really nice!
I don't know how you can say you're ass at writing when "Sing me to sleep and trap me in a fucking birdcage out of my dreams" is more accurate (and hilarious) than anything I ever wrote about them, haha. I swear, My Fairytale better return from their hiatus...
Great list, bruh!

Thanks for reading!!!

I missed this thread so much. <3

2015 is finished, welcome 2016 and with it its lot of future releases.
Best & favourites are suggestive and may not please everyone but still, let’s try to do a personal selection. Those tracks & albums has been selected for its replay value + the ‘love at first hearing’ thing. Because there’s definitely something in these tracks that attract me for good and want to destroy the repeat button. xD doesn't mean that I didn't liked the others tracks from album x (for example), just that if I had to choose one or two songs off this release, this would be my choice.
Sorry I'm not that good to write things or doing review, I'm shit.
Anw, here’s mine:

Tracks
 

— March —
 
INAZUMA, by ALSDEAD / SPOT
Sick track, really. It’s like a melodic punch in your face and you can't resist it, you want more, I want more!

VIPER (U need Me [GAMASSO] add4), by メガマソ(megamasso) / SPOT
They took a classic and remade it perfectly onto a sick track. The synths brings really something more.
 

— April —

Cross Peagent, by 凛-the end of corruption world- / SONG
I love everything in this song; the piano, the solos, Sui’s singing, the verse and chorus, I could put this song on repeat again and again. So epic.

九尾(kyuubi), by 九尾(Kiryu) / SPOT
It’s a giant mess and stil, it’s working!
 

— August —

VENOMS, by MEJIBRAY / SPOT
I’m on a love/hate relationship with MEJ, but I enjoyed this song a lot. Dunno if it’s the symphonic background, or the addictive chorus, ambiance or something. I really love this song, I wish they'd continue in this path...

スノウィブルー(snowy blue) & エインシャントソング, by メガマソ(megamasso) / PV SONG
1st track: Probably my most listened track off this year. What can I say more? The verse already is addictive, let the chorus begins and it’s heaven. Impossible to be bored with this song xD
2nd song: My biggest surprise of 2015, what an insolent idea! Delightful track and voice, I'm especially in love with the synths! Now I'm waiting impatiently for a reverse track xD

DOGMA & OMINOUS, by the GazettE / SONG1 PV2
Their latest album may not please everyone for reasons, but these two song stands out and each time I’m like “wow. just wow.” I’m totally amazed with the ambiance and creativity.
 

— September —

WEAKNESS_MY BLOOD, by 少年記(shounenki) / SPOT
Each time I’m listening shounenki, I’m saying to myself “holy shit, this guy can def sing!! what a voice, this tone!”, and yet here you can really hear that in the chorus.
 

— October —

m.o.b., by Chanty / SPOT
These guys definitely knows how to make good and fresh songs that you can love immediately.
