It's simple, but I've always really liked the cover of THE BACK HORN's "Ikiru Sainou" album.

I love the guy, but this barely even sounds like his voice. It sounds like some generic radio rock band started by a bunch of guys in their mid-twenties wearing all black and studded belts like ten years ago.

This is an award worthy stupid VK band name. Good to know Michi is still out there doing things though.

I'm not wild about every single thing they've released, but I think Kizu definitely have potential because it seems like they've managed to draw in both "dark" visual kei fans and people into the more accessible stuff. Whoever is managing them also clearly knows what they're doing, which seems to be pretty rare these days. Plus they've got Lime, who is basically exactly the type of singer I like, so I can't not pay attention to them.
 
I don't see them revolutionizing VK or anything, but I feel like Asty has the potential to be a really solid band if they keep going long enough. The songs are catchy, Takeru's voice stands out a bit, and their looks seem to be getting more polished with each release.

Are they trying to get that guy from THE ALFEE's attention or something?

The Kiyoharu photoshoot everyone knows

 
Wataru from LIPHLICH's "Beauty Calendar" that was mostly shots of his ass.

Saw Aquaman earlier tonight because the movie my family wanted to see was sold out and it was on at the same time. It was pretty goofy in places, but I definitely went into it expecting that. Some cool action scenes though, and some of the settings were really pretty. I agree that Jason Momoa seemed uncomfortable during the comedic bits and the jokes mostly fell flat, but he looked great. That first wet hairflip when he appears on the submarine was majestic.
 
Saw it for free, and I was entertained, even if I laughed more at the serious bits than the intentional jokes, so I can't complain. Good enough as a backup plan.

never found a name with a wetter mouth-feel than 
 
 

Looks like they're not going on hiatus or anything - they announced that they're playing monthly shows at Takadanobaba AREA from April to December. I wonder if they're going to have a support bassist or if they already found someone new?

Paralyzed gecko realness

This is an award worthy stupid VK band name. Good to know Michi is still out there doing things though.

04 Limited Sazabys is actually a fairly direct name. Gen mentioned a while back on Twitter that it comes from this:
 

 
The original drummer was a big Gundam fan, but apparently he misspelled "Sazabi" and I guess it was too late to change it when they noticed.

I thought Sadie was fine until I found out it was pronounced "saddy", not like the girls' name, which is dumb on many different levels.
