Lol, somehow I never realized that Avu sang those high-pitched "Yah-ah-ah" parts during the chorus as well until I saw this.
 
 

The first one that came to mind when I saw the title was Backdrop Cinderella, but since they've been mentioned I'll throw a few other names in.
 
Yellow Studs
 
 
If you like raspy vocals like Chiba Yusuke (TMGE, The Birthday, etc.), Yellow Studs is probably one of the first bands that will come up when you look for bands with a similar singer. Their music has a similar sort of retro vibe, but it's generally much more jazzy. The vocalist also plays the piano, accordion, banjo, and some other stuff, so their sound goes in a bit of a folk-y/country direction sometimes. They have an acoustic side project called "Team Garakuta" or "Yellow Studs Acoustic Band" where you can hear more of that sort of thing.

I'm still just puzzled by the fact that no one told SHIN to take the jacket off. Like, who let him try to look sexy indoors in a down jacket?

Started 20th Century Boys yesterday since my library has like 20 volumes of it, and I've been reading Kakegurui online.

Well, the gimmick is that they are still trying to become human, right? I think the idea with the illustrations is that the "transformation" is only temporary and once they officially "become human" then they'll probably show more regular pics?
 
Still Team Dinosaur over here, btw. Whether it's boy bands or dating sims, I've always gotta pick the edgy one or the rapper.
 
Disappointed that Jake talks normally in their latest cartoon video though. Was hoping he'd awkwardly keep the incoherent grunting going even in human form.
 
 
In this video, I believe it says that they've gathered enough karma for a quick transformation, but then they turn back because they don't have enough. However, "Kami-sama" tells them that the camera will magically turn any cheki they take into pictures of them in human form, so I guess you can buy cheki of the actual guys from now on?

^It's actually supposed to read "zanbara". The Visunavi article about them said it comes from "ざんばら髪"

I think we've been getting pretty much the same amount - there just haven't been very many recently with members that overseas fans have actually heard of, so I think there's just not as much of that hype going around on all the VK blogs, sites, etc.

I'm generally a t-shirt girl when it comes to buying band merch, but yeah... I'd go with the poster or tote bag from that set...

The "risutokatto" trope in general is a huge turnoff for me, tbh.

Pretty fun game if you ask me, also much moaning. Not in the mood to play it right now although I'll probably go back to it in a while and main Godo Tsukasa but lol hey

If it's written miscellaneous I pronounce it as that. If it's abbreviated to Misc. I always pronounce it as 'misk' 😅 I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. 

I'm not sure if this was a promo shot or just a release cover, but I liked this one of The Birthday from around the release of "Piano" a lot.
 

 
I like the one from around the release of "The Answer" and the matching album cover as well:
 

 

Man, his voice just keeps getting cuter.
