So I guess Japanese people are equally confused by the fact that it's not "rotten graffiti".

^I know, I didn't realize there was a G4 III either - apparently G4 III was the single with BLEEZE on it. They've been releasing so much stuff recently and I mean, more GLAY definitely isn't something to complain about, but it's getting really hard to keep up. I listened to MUSIC LIFE once or twice a while ago. I really need to give it a few more spins. Most of their slower songs usually take a few listens to grow on me, so I feel like I haven't given it a fair shot.

Was bored and curious about what he was saying so I also did this song.

I'm a big fan of Dragon Ash, but somehow I completely forgot Kj released a solo album this year. Really need to get around the listening to that eventually. "Vocals similar to GALNERYUS" has me feeling a little scared though... Nice to see GMA on your list as well. I watched the videos they released, but I still haven't gotten around to the rest of that album yet either, so it's good to hear that it's worth checking out.

I made an attempt at translating this into English, but there are too many lines I don't get so here's just the romaji.

High hopes for the new single, even though I already have like two years worth of GLAY releases to catch up on.

DaizyStripper have announced a bunch of 10th anniversary plans for 2016-2017, so it seems pretty unlikely that they'll be the next to go.

Something about Bed.In is just so charming.

GLAY EXPO '99.

God, the new POT song is adorable.

Add "Ring My Hell" to the list of names that suck.

^Oh wow, thanks for posting those! <3 Cool to see them doing DNA desu and Ai no meiwaku in the second one. The sassy hand gestures always make me smile.

I'm partially with you on that. New Glay can be hit or miss, but almost everything up to Love Is Beautiful is gold IMO.

I'm really not surprised. There are so many bands with the exact same look and sound, and they just seemed so middle of the road.

the telephones going on "indefinite hiatus" right when I started listening to them Wasn't thrilled with the album "Bye Bye Hello" either. Most of it just felt so flat after the sexy, over the top 80s vibe of "SUPER HIGH TENSION".

Pocky and Yuu from NOA's new band finally posted a full song on Youtube as a Christmas present, and it's adorable. God, that engrish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6IN7RckMBo Weird seeing Pocky's voice coming out of Yuu's mouth, but I guess this makes more sense than filming him drumming since the video is only going to be up for two days.

^Yep, that was them. For some reason all of the members of Suck a Stew Dry are really generous with things like live performances and demos. Lots of bands seem to be getting into doing Twitcasts, but they're one of the few I can think of where the members actually do full performances and leave them recorded so you can watch them later.

yorunitokeru did an acoustic performance on their Twitcast today. The video quality is pretty bad, but it's free and cute, and they recorded it, so I'm not complaining. http://us.twitcasting.tv/yorunitokeru_/movie/226313869 ^The songs start around 5:55, 17:00, 34:50, 51:30, 1:09:55. 1. 地下室の夏 / Chikashitsu no natsu 2. プールサイドの幻 / Poolside no maboroshi 3. 寄生 / Kisei 4. a day u me 5. dilemma (only mine)

I wonder why they decided the remake the songs from Bloodsucker so soon after the album release though? Were they so bad that they wanted another shot at recording them, or so good that they were like "We need more people to hear these"? This will be already be the third time Wonderwall has been featured on a release in like a year and a half. Hirosuke must really love that song.

You mean it's not "vee-new"? I never would have guessed. Then again, I still read xTRiPx as "ekks trip" in my head. Even though there's clearly a second x at the end and I know it's just "trip", I can't see it any other way for some reason.

The Lion King, Aladdin + The Aristocats for me.

^That "We are fighting dreamers!" song is glorious though

【新宿ReNYワンマン連動企画】 WING WORKS過去リリース作品全曲公開！！ ※ワンマン翌日までの期間限定！！ ^It says on his website that it's only going to be up for a limited time. This is apparently to promote WING WORKS' one-man at Shinjuku ReNY on Dec. 20th, so it looks like it will be taken down the day after. It's still a nice thing to do though.

I kind of love how nasal their singer's voice gets.
