I can't decide if he's improved or not





and I can't decide if improvement would be a good thing

Finally autumn is here, i should wear coats
 

 

Lycaon's guitarist Satoshi is a motherfucking super hardcore fan of Slash.
 
First there's a picture of Satoshi and Slash:


 
They both love and use exlusively Gibson's Les Paul guitars...


 
Slash also loves Jack Daniels, but the question is: how much does Satoshi love Jack Daniels?
 
 
Answer: He love's it to the point when he wears it, drinks it and even has a Jack Daniels phone case!

Oooh yeaaahh!! Super cool, can't wait!

Arcadia is the release which now convinces me of Jupiter, at last.
 
I do agree that there was, and still is, a confusion for what Jupiter actually stands for. A continuation for Versailles? I have been following Versailles' work since The Revenant Choir, and was a fan, but as Fin Paulux said, something started to fall apart even before the seize of their activities. Apparently it was something between Kamijo and the rest of the members, I assume this because of what happened. I was at first very surprised to see Jupiter forming out of the ashes of Versailles, but now I'm quite happy, because the members do play music very well together.
 
Blessing of the future and Classical Element were mediocre at best. I couldn't get thrilled even if I wanted to, the quality of the compositions were bad in my opinion, nothing spectacular, and the album seems just be a presentation of the band's technical skills as well as their new singer that did not sink in at all. Zin's voice seems somehow off, perhaps because they tried to do Versailles' music with a new singer. Then I heard Last Moment, which was good, really good in my opinion. There the pieces started to fall into place, and particularly Zin's voice started to go with the band's music, maybe there was something different with the composition, I dunno. The rest of the tracks on that single are again quite ok, slipping to the same category as Classical Element, but Last Moment shines bright.
 
Then came Arcadia, out of the blue. I didn't even know they were releasing a single, but boy was I blown away. First, I listened the clip of the MV from youtube, and then right away got the single from iTunes (I SOOO want it as a hard copy as well, if someone knows how to get one, tell!). As a song, I think Arcadia is just perfect. It certainly has the same feel as Last Moment, just perfected. The hard beginning, the building towards that awesome verse, the solo's just compliment the overall composition and aren't just displays of technical skills. There are a lot of so good pieces to this song that just sink in together seamlessly, making me want to listen it over and over again on repeat. If this song represents Jupiter, I really like what I hear and am a fan.
 
I must admit I did listen only to Arcadia at first, the baby screaming in the beginning of Darkness made me go blaaah but Darkness is what makes this single The Perfect Single. Something brand new, as has been said, something that Versailles could not have done, proving that Jupiter wants to be a band in their own right, not the continuation of Versailles. The song is just so powerful, melodic and hard at the same time. There even is a melody to Zin's screaming in my opinion, a feature I don't think I have heard before, to many other bands, screaming is just screaming.
 
I'm the kind of reviewer who wants to find something to do better every time, but even Zin's english in Darkness is very good. I love Arcadia. 10/10.

I listen to a fairly high volume of new music on a regular basis, so it's pretty easy for a lot of songs to "go in one ear and out the other" for me. I'm usually better at recalling the overall moods of songs or how they made me feel. For instance, even if a song has a great, positive effect on me and I instantly end up enjoying it, I'll still need multiple listens to really wrap my head around it and get the specifics down.
Given my listenining habits, I take advantage of last.fm's "love" system and use that to mark songs that I'd like to revisit...and essentially "remember".

Too many attractive people here, and then.. there's me.

First time with selfie/make-up and showing myself on here, outcome = fail. xD (Super blurred too, sorry and hair isn't done at all >.<)

What the fuck.

do a clean install of your current windows. if the problems still persist then it's a hardware issue and upgrading is not gonna fix it.

What the fuck.

I got the official 2011 calendar with their cosplay outfits.  Just wanted to share!

now that's a truly powerful feminist response to all that abundant son/dad gay fanfiction, yaaaaas @ this declaration of empowerment and gender equality

What the fuck.

What the fuck.

I bought this shirt a few days back, and finally got it in the mail yesterday. 
 
It's already September so I probably won't be able to wear it at all considering it's a crop top of sorts but uh...there's always next summer. :'D
 
Or I wear it around outside anyway despite it being freezing because #swagyolo420fuckbitchez

Samsung Galaxy s5
 
oops
 
R.I.P money, which went to "a useless purschase", I just couldn't help it. I had enough with having to restart my phone three times per day because it freezes all the time and refuses to open apps.

Welcome to MH! Haha it's so nice that you decided to start being more active online! Please join us in the chat sometimes, we are fun (sometimes) and we don't bite  I have been an active member here since last December and I have gotten soooo many friends already! Just be active and talk to people, i'm sure you'll find a lot of new friends (at least I think so ;_ here.
 
What are your favorite bands? I checked your last.fm but you didn't have too many scrobbles yet. My favorites are Lycaon and アルルカン! I see that you like Lycaon too, welcome to the club! There are a lot of active Lycaon fans in MH!
 
 
Edit// And btw, did you attend any of their concerts on their European tour? I was at their Helsinki concert and I loved it so much!

Haha, ofc course you can join the chat whenever you want! Haha for now I can tell that I had the time of my life on that Lycaon concert and my neck hurt for like 4 days after the concert, and tbqh my neck & shoulders are still hurting a bit. Too much headbanging for me XD
 
Have you btw seen that Lycaon discography thread (started by me)? There's quite a lot of stuff that aren't that common in the internet (thanks to kyoselflove!), so you probably should check that out!

We NEED a Lycaon party already! I never even realised how many fans there were on here of theirs! <3 I'm really happy we all have similar tastes and I can chat this much now, I'm not regretting joining. Haha, most of the time?

I finally feel like I do, I've never typed so much/so quickly before haha. Thanks so much for having me too and giving me a lovely welcome too, I really mean it!

HELLO GAY THREAD

Lycaon absolutely blew my mind. I have a completely newfound appreciation for what they are doing now and I am even more of the opinion that their royal order stuff is just dogshit compared to their newest releases. Shadow was great and the thing yuuki does with the spotlight when the light goes out is the shit.
Born I couldn't be arsed to watch, and instead I brushed shoulders yuuki who came next to us to look at born. He fleed upon approach but still appeared another time and gave the same cute hand sign "GOMEN GOMEN" to us when we wouldn't stop trying lolol

^ it's probably a hand puppet Kisaki talks to when deciding how many layers of pipe organ he'll need to cover up his bass parts.
