    Drop's are fun if you like bands like The Birthday and that sort of old school rock n' roll vibe. Their sound is more pop-rock, but the singer has a lovely voice, and they're going for cool instead of cute, which is kind of refreshing.

    I wish The Birthday would get Imai back. Fujii is okay, but Imai just brought so much more personality and showmanship to the band. Plus all that hilarious random English. "Rock n' roll Jesus!...Chiba Yusuke."
  3. 2006. I was posting on a glam metal forum and someone had started a thread about VK with a bunch of pictures and videos from some of the more popular bands. I was instantly drawn in by X Japan and L'Arc~en~Ciel.

    ^Thanks sai, they seem cool and the catchiness I'm looking for is definitely there, but I think what I'm looking for is vocals that are a bit more towards the opposite extreme. I mean a really noticeable deep/low voice. Like tezya-level deep, or just above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=F1HwEFTpJhU#t=569

    Can someone recommend me a rock band with a vocalist with a deep voice? Preferably non-VK, but something towards the lighter, catchier end of VK would be cool too. I find I usually go for higher pitched vocalists and I want to try to branch out a bit.

    Yes, I really don't see a problem here. On one of the forums I used to post on there was an entire board dedicated to hating on other posters. There were people stalking posters they didn't like from thread to thread to bait them into arguments or to bring up stupid things they said in the past - completely derailing new discussions with pages and pages of repetitive bickering, there were people making horrible photoshops using pictures from the show yourself thread, people trying to find out the names and addresses of posters so they could harass them IRL and looking through their other accounts (facebook, myspace, online reviews, and even things like shopping wishlists) to try to dig up any sort of info they could use to make them look bad. Those are the type of things that make a forum feel like an unsafe place to express yourself, IMO. While it was never directed at me, the creepiness of some of the regular posters got so intense a few years ago that I just couldn't enjoy posting there anymore. A little swearing and name-calling during an internet argument is really nothing to get worked up about - you just click on another thread and it goes away. Unless someone is following you around the board or spamming you with PMs, I really don't think you need to call in a mod to intervene.
  7. The Marrow of a Bone ruined them for me - I just can't will myself to listen to any of their new material since that album, so my favourite is probably always going to be Macabre.

    My Japanese still sucks, so there are probably mistakes, but I think these are some of the better attempts I've made at translating andymori lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTmV5Yc0Ks8 彼女 / She Music and Lyrics: Oyamada Souhei What should I do if that girl opens her heart to her friends about her relationship troubles? That girl calling out my name is just the stuff of dreams, isn’t it? Still, every night when I’m about to fall asleep, I end up thinking about her I even think about things like sneaking into her room and hiding in the closet These wild ideas just keep growing Even the way she writes is beautiful And somehow the way she walks is pretty too Lalalalalala…Her voice is wonderful too And there’s absolutely no doubt that she’s a kind-hearted person as well I’ll go to the park with that girl, to the sea, to the mountains, to the river, to the street corners of foreign countries, to the very centre of the desert And ten years later, when it’s become affordable, we’ll travel through space These fantasies just keep growing We’ll be gazing at the blue, blue earth together She'll smile just for me She’s taken flight in my heart These fantasies just keep growing 彼女 / Kanojo Kanojo ga koi no nayami o tomodachi ni uchiakete itara dou shiyou Kanojo ga boku no namae o yonde-kureru nante yume no hanashi sa Soredemo maiban nemuri ni tsuku koro ni kanojo no koto o kangaete-shimau n da Kanojo no heya ni nantoka shinobikonde awatete KUROOZETTO ni kakuretari nanka shite Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa Kanojo no kakuji wa totemo kirei de Aruki-kata mo nandaka kirei de RARARARARARARARA…koe mo subarashikute kitto kokoro mo yasashii hito ni chigainai Kanojo to kouen ni umi ni yama ni kawa ni shiranai kuni no machikado ni sabaku no domannaka ni yuku Juu-nen-go ni wa o-tegaru ni natta uchuuryokou ni yuku Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa Aoi aoi chikyuu o futari de nagameru n da Kanojo ga warau Boku no tame ni Kanojo ga tobikonde-kuru Boku no mune ni Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa Kanji: http://j-lyric.net/artist/a050bf1/l02896a.html 愛してやまない音楽を / The Music I Can't Stop Loving* Music and Lyrics: Oyamada Souhei The music I can’t stop loving Seems to ring out anywhere I go, brother If I start to take it too seriously, I get in fights about it too, And sometimes things get ugly Still, since your eyes always call out to me like a little boy’s In those tough moments too, I can keep going with an honest heart The music I can’t stop loving Seems to ring out anywhere I go, brother Let me hear that wonderful melody Lalalala… While I was heading down the road to the station, carrying my guitar case under my arm, I looked back with a smile on my face Time flows by, and even if my dream is destroyed, I want to sing with unwavering passion The music I can’t stop loving Seems to ring out anywhere I go, brother Let me hear it Play it for me now Lalalala… Notes: *Or maybe "The Music I'll Love Forever"?

    Psycho le Cemu, since the 15th anniversary concerts are happening next year and whatnot. That, and I love seek's new costume. It's so amazingly impractical. http://psycholecemu.com/images/main_photo02.jpg

    Oh no, I'm not saying that the discussion here is bad or mean-spirited - quite the opposite in fact. I think the discussions in this thread are pretty civil, and they're some of the more interesting ones on the site. I'm just saying that if you feel like everyone is arguing against your point in this thread you're probably doing something right.
  11. violetchain

    Yes, in the end, if a bunch of people disagree with your opinion in this thread then it really is an unpopular one and it should be here. But it also means that tons of people are going to gang up to try to convince you you're wrong. Just comes with the territory.

    So Kiwamu posted the Starwave Records online shop rankings for the end of the year. https://www.facebook.com/kiwamu.kai/posts/10153014390485712?pnref=story Was pleasantly surprised to see THE SOUND BEE HD's live DVD on both the international and Japan lists. I thought only like three other people bought it. Then again, there are only supposed to be 100 copies of it, and it's not sold out, so maybe they just sold three copies of everything below it.

    Once Zess ate beans that tasted like shit, thinking, "what the dick?", so threw them at the cat cause he is such a crazy little bastard. After drycleaning vigorously, everything bursted into some form of hypergalactic flames and the couch started transforming into something sexy like boobs which performed lap dances which seemed

    Two more songs from their Paper Hearts mini-album. It's such a shame that Pocky doesn't get someone to look his English over. His pronunciation is so good, but his lyrics are such nonsense sometimes. 3days of April You are gone Turn on lights and watch the BTV shows Finding page of comic, see me low Burn on pans and making cheap cereals Drinking juice then sending me to go I know it’s my selfish thoughts I was calling in a sec I can’t wait to see you You had come Take ‘em away Time had taken you away You are gone, and then you are gone And you are gone Time had taken you away Moon and Ark If we were friends, then things would not turn out like this way anyway If we had met, when things had went turn out fine with pay It’s time to decide how to say That I love you But I have to more than To say it for you and me “It’s goodbye. How can I die?” I’m painting to my palette, making my ideal future’s color But I notice not to use these blue paints so far I’m saying to my palette these won’t mixed like ill deepest lover* Throw the blue to garbage here It’s goodbye, bye for now And see you again If I were you, I’ll never ever make fun of those Rudolph and so If I hate you, I’ll never ever want talk to you It’s time to decide what to do What I want to And I have to more than To say it for you and me “It’s goodbye now” I’m painting to my palette, making my ideal future’s color But I notice not to use these blue paints so far I’m saying to my palette these won’t mixed like ill deepest lover Throw the blue to garbage here It’s goodbye, bye for now Tell me bless you, I miss you, and hold you Bye for now Goodbye my third love Goodbye my third love I’ll miss you forever Goodnight my third love Till the time Goodbye my third love I’ll miss you forever Goodnight my third love Till the time Till the time *It says lover in the booklet, but is it just me or does it sound more like "mother"?

    Sad to hear the telephones are going on hiatus. I loved their last two singles. "Don't Stop the Move, Keep on Dancing" is such gold.

    ^Well to be fair, the second one didn't seem like he wanted to leave - it was supposedly a family emergency or something, and the first one stuck around for a pretty long time and seems to still be friends with them.

    AA= DVD came. Seems like it's definitely worth the extra $2 for air mail. I think this is the fastest I've ever received something from CDJapan. Everything I ordered with SAL took 2-3 months. It also came with a "live flag", which I have no idea what to do with. It was a nice surprise though. I thought the only bonus with this edition was extra footage.

    I just realized that the video for LEGO BIG MORL's song "Wait?" is about the other band members waiting for the guitarist's fractured wrist to recover. Which is why he's just standing there looking angsty and flexing his wrist while everyone else is playing until the last minute. Wow I'm slow. I thought he was just supposed to be the good looking one or something.

    Ordered the limited edition of AA='s new live DVD, since it was on sale for cheaper than the regular on CDJapan. I still need to get around to buying the rest of #4 off iTunes, though...

    I'd go with embryo since I don't listen to any of the other bands. 1. New York Dolls - Subway Train 2. BUCK-TICK - Spider 3. DJ OZMA - Good Night 4. Souls of We - Gandhi's Got a Gun 5. Tackey & Tsubasa - LOVE & TOUGH 6. GLAY - GROOVY TOUR 7. ADAPTER. - Hajime no Ippo 8. Domoto Tsuyoshi - Yasashisa o mune ni daite 9. GLAY - Mugen no deja vu kara ~Peaceful Session~ 10. DJ OZMA - DRINKIN' BOYS This is kind of a boring one. I like all these artists, but most of these songs don't really stand out too much. Hajime no Ippo is a fun song, though.
  22. The video for To overflow evidence's "Fune o amu" is up.
  23. Sure, if I met someone that really felt like the right person, I definitely would. No kids, though.
