Have you ever had that feeling that you'd want to check new albums out or just try new bands out but you don't have free time for that? I used to had that for 5 years I think. It was caused mostly by school and pretty bad Internet connections (dorms etc) and FINALLY, after those years I'm able to check "new releases" out from 2012 or even older. omg I'm so excited.

It's been about 6 years since I stopped listening to western music. Before I discovered visual kei, or any Japanese music for that matter, I was super into Damon Albarn and all his projects, particularly Blur (Modern Life Is Rubbish is their best album and everyone should listen to it for how British it is!) 

Anyways, after discovering Japanese music etc. my tastes got a lot heavier, last time I'd listened to rock/metal I was 12 and going through a 'emo' phase (really I just mixed black with neon, my parents would make me shave my hair off until I was 16  so it was super short). Recently, I've given System of a Down a listen to, and oh my god their album Toxicity is something that should not be missed out on if you have ears! It was amazing! It gave me the same energetic feel that 'DISORDER' by The Gazette gave me, just non stop, fast paced music that you can't help but love. 

As I've written this I've come to realise it has very little point...I guess I'm just feeling grateful for the rush that music can give to you, if that makes sense at all.

Favourite tracks from Toxicity - 'Prison Song', 'Atwa', 'Psycho'

Favourite tracks from DISORDER (since I mentioned it) - '$ocial Riot Machine$', 'Maximum Impulse', 'Hanakotoba'

I realised if I really wanted to check out all the Japanese rock/metal/punk bands I would need to spend my whole life on ONLY listening to the albums. It's depressive that I'm just unable to do it.

Holy shit, I just renew my really old friendship and realised that's so amazing feeling when you know somebody cares about you so much. Take care of your friends as well everyone

I enabled the dark theme on youtube because my eyes couldn't handle that much white anymore and suddenly youtube like a new site XD

I'm so lazy today oh my god. Like I just made a sandwich and I'm tired ugh.  I also love complaining while I do stuff.

You know, I was one to defend Crossfaith's musical changes for one reason or another... but I think they WIPED OUT. They're not bad musicians and I get that some changes won't always grab the attention of frequent listeners... but personal opinion... The new MV/song isn't really memorable for me. It's not awful, but it's not great. Thoughts?
