  1. I was in the mood for a crappy thriller, so I watched Thr3e (2006). It's one of the only movies I've ever seen that's actually as bad as the Rotten Tomatoes reviews make it out to be. 

     

    The character of the aunt was so ridiculous and out of place that I thought it was a joke at first, and the dialogue is so bad that it's not even fun to laugh at.


  2. Regarding FLOPPY: 

     

    They're holding a 13th anniversary one-man and releasing a live-limited single in August, so it seems like Sharaku is still making time for it every now and then between other activities. I think GalapagosS is on hiatus though?


  3. Saw II is still one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, even by the incredibly low standards of that particular corner of the genre. Why the hell would the guy immediately decide a murderous rampage - especially when he was outnumbered like 5 to 1 and the other people were still trying to cooperate with him - was the only way to get the numbers from the backs of the other prisoners' necks? Literally all he had to do was ask them to turn around and show him or, worst case scenario, find an excuse to come up behind them and slyly push their hair/clothes to the side? Still boggles my mind that someone actually wrote something so stupid and people went "Okay, sounds good, let's film that".

    What label (if any) are these guys on anyways? Do other bands on that label have similarly hectic schedules or are they really just overactive?

    marder suitcase. The only other band I can think of is yazzmad, and obviously they're not very active. I don't know if they even have any other labelmates at this point?

     

    Maybe they're just putting all their energy into promoting LIPHLICH now since they're the only active band left?


  5. My Japanese still sucks, but this looked simple so I took a shot at it. I feel like I probably still missed the mark on at least a few of those starred lines though.

     

    If you have any corrections, feel free to let me know. :)

    Uhh, what did you eat yesterday?

    Even if you had some really bad pasta, that’s fine

    Uhh, yesterday I discovered a girl that was really my type - Do!! Do!! Do!!*

    High tension

     

    Love lala chu chu chu love lala

    Yes lover, I’m totally losing myself in you

    Love lala chu chu chu love lala

    Yes lover days

     

    It’s not even in the Daijirin**

    Won’t you teach me the meaning of true love?

     

    Love is a surprise in this world

    There’s not enough love to go around

    I’m drying up and withering

    So, aim it at my heart

     

    It’s a surprise in this world

    Hey, there’s a love shortage

    Now, that heart-pounding, fluttering feeling

    I’ll aim it at you

     

    It’s like the Milano-style doria from Saizeriya***

    Somehow, it’s burning a little today, isn’t it?****

    But it’s fine, the girl that came to see me with it

    That girl is just so incredibly cute

    High tension

     

    Love lala chu chu chu love lala

    Yes lover, I’m totally losing myself in you

    Love lala chu chu chu love lala

    Yes lover days

     

    It’s not on Wikipedia either

    Won’t you teach me the meaning of true love?

     

    Love is a surprise in this world

    There’s not enough love to go around

    I’m drying up and withering

    So, aim it at my heart

     

    It’s a surprise in this world

    Hey, there’s a love shortage

    Now, that heart-pounding, fluttering feeling

    I’ll aim it at you

     

    It’s not in the textbook, but

    I know what love means

    Do you remember the note I added?

    The meaning of love

    It’s you, now as well*****

     

    The world is going mad

    Look, there’s a shortage of love, isn’t there?

    Sometimes, I get so sick and worried from the darkness that I can’t sleep

     

    The news is depressing

    Look, there’s a shortage of love

    People who don’t know the meaning of pain

    Are bearing scars and being hurt******

     

    Give the world love +

    Look, love makes it go round

    Still, I’ll give it to you

    Love + music, yeah!!

     

    Notes:

    *, ****, *****, ******Not sure about these lines,

    **A dictionary

    ***Apparently a doria is like a casserole dish, and Saizeriya is an Italian restaurant chain

  6. None of these bands are really the type I would usually go for, but Oshimai was catchy so I've been keeping an eye on Kizu.

     

    I'm not into the wrist-cutting emo kid aesthetic, but Lime is exactly the kind of frontman I can't get enough of (short, with a sort of bratty onstage persona - ex. Daishi from PLC and Noah from Avanchick), and I love his voice, so I'm hoping they do well. I think they mentioned that they're going to drop the white facepaint after their one-man (or maybe I read that wrong?), so I'm curious to see if their concept will change a bit in the future.


  7. I was a little nervous after the video tracks, but the previews for the rest of Bentham's new album sound so good. Chicago has grown on me a lot too after hearing it separated from that weird MV.

    I was actually thinking about buying the cheap version (Type C) because I really like that first song.

    In a weird coincidence, I was actually just getting around to listening to it yesterday and yeah, the new Megamasso is pretty good.

    ^English statement: 

     

    "Dear all of our fans

    We were very excited to perform at ANIMEX on the 15th Jul.
    However, due to the circumstances of the event sponsor, our appearance has been cancelled. We were just informed of this today.

    We wanted to meet all of our fans in Mexico, and we wanted all of you to see THE SOUND BEE HD perform, so we are very disappointed.

    But we have faith that we will have another chance to perform in Mexico someday. We truly apologize to all the fans who were looking forward to our appearance. 

    We will definitely see you all someday!

    Thank you and Gracias.

    THE SOUND BEE HD"

    Nah, I don't buy it at all. at least they didn't bring up any terrorist attacks and shit

     

    I can't see them having as much of a following like Misaruka etc, so I'm pretty sure they didn't sell well.

    It was at a convention though? I don't know if this one is different, but you usually don't need to sell any tickets at a convention because the concert is included with admission. 

     

    I know some of the bigger cons hold concerts with separate tickets, but I can't imagine them doing that for bands like Misaruka and Rose Noire. I mean, I've seen like half the Starwave roster live because my local conventions had their bands (Rose Noire, umbrella, the fool, marlee, lix., etc.) playing for free and I already had the pass.


  13. I'm not much of a singer and I don't go to karaoke often, but I did okay with L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Blurry Eyes" once. I sang along to it so many times in my teens that the words are firmly embedded in my mind, so it didn't really matter that I couldn't read the kanji on the screen. I also sang ELLEGARDEN's "Jamie" that time, but it's not VK and it's in English, so I guess that doesn't really count.

    Oh that's too bad!  I initially only had a saturday pass but bought a sunday one just for the q&a, lol.  I heard somewhere that j-rock north was gonna release footage of the panel, but I haven't seen anything yet so maybe it's not true?  (I did snag a few brief shaky vids of sharaku if that's something you're interested in tho?)  But yeah, the show was great!  I kind of wish I'd been less of a nervous nerd when I was in line tho because it turns out everyone was really cool, ahah

    Haha, I do love Sharaku, but it's okay. I'm not really big on meeting bands (I'm too shy to say anything other than "Thank you!" most of the time), so missing the Q&A wasn't a huge loss. It's just kind of annoying that I've been to almost all the AN band Q&As and I dropped the ball when a band I actually like was there. Still, I randomly saw them in different parts of the convention on both Friday and Sunday, so I still ended up with plenty of awkward metronome memories over the course of the weekend. :grin:

     

    Parts of the Q&A usually end up getting posted online, and sometimes it gets transcribed by VK websites, but I didn't see anything in the days after the event. I'm really surprised by how little coverage there was this year.

    Newb question: how do they get away with a name like this? Dio, if you don't know, was the name of the band for a legendary metal singer named Ronnie James Dio. When you say "Dio" to an American metal fan they instantly think Ronnie James Dio and no one else. And he toured Japan many times so they know his name, too.

     

    Along with the association there's trademark issues. Bands with an existing trademarked name in the US have to come up with a new name. Testament is probably the best known case. They were known as Legacy and signed to a record deal under that name. When they went to trademark it, they saw another band had the name and had to change theirs.

     

    Granted this Dio will likely never set foot in the U.S. but isn't there still potential overlap with the U.S. Dio in Japan as well? Or is Japan so completely isolated musically they can get away with it?

    Technically they are called "Dio - distraught overlord", and they're not really famous enough for the average metal fan to even come across them online, so I don't think it's ever really been an issue?

    They went to the US in 2009: http://www.jame-world.com/us/articles-6668-dio-distraught-overlord-interview-in-houston-texas.html

    And they've been to Europe multiple times, seemingly without any issues.

     

    I know Pentagon performed under the name "Pentagon Japan" during their recent convention appearance in the US, since they didn't want to be confused with a Korean group with the same name, but I think that had a lot more to do with the fact that either group could have logically been performing there. Plus they had exactly the same name. "Dio - distraught overlord" is probably different enough for them to get away with it?


  16. Just watched Havenhurst, and it was terrible. Not even bad in a so bad it's good kind of way, just horribly unsatisfying and pointless. I mean, they had the budget, concept and the cast to make a predictable, yet still kinda cool movie, but they totally blew it with the plot.
