Tetora

[-Abnormal Head Machine-] was a masterpiece in the indie era , especially ケミカルロマンス !!!!!!

RENNY AMY > D&L > born > BORN > ? (don't think they are actually disbanding , maybe just another name change... LOL)

i hadn't seen that new look!!!! loving it!!!

So basically are there band/s that you were like holy shit this song and few/some others "are like some of the best songs I've herd" and you were thinking they have so much potential, but unfortunately they didn't stick to great songs and had a bunch of of stuff you don't care for?
 
The band i can think of is D'uAl.
1. the guitaring had this unique crispy freaking sound that i wanted to eat it up like bacon. It also those dudes could shred really well without being an ass like "hey look at me shred this guitar." Sure some of them were traditional style hard vk metal but they had their own thing. Also other elements of the good songs instrumental were on point, like drumming and synths(?). And their breakdowns were always fun

2 the vocalist freaking unique, kind of soft and beautiful. But he could let out some nasty scream(unfortunately he forgot them in butterfly, if you listen to it above), and also nice air whisper growls that added to the song instead of taking away

 
Also the vocalist could rock a crop-top

Oh, I am so looking forward for all the beautiful pictures that will surface from that day.

Honestly I am hoping Kisaki opens another label, I personally thought he chose interesting bands to join his labels. Like looking back, he had variety and there wasn't a band I didn't dislike.

If you are broke you have bigger issues than being entertained, especially being spoonfed every single piece of entertainment that you demand when there is already an endless supply of free entertainment available to you.
It's clear that this whole viewpoint on not 'sharing' (a term used to put some kind of bs feel good spin on giving out other people's hard work for free) being 'selfish' (because you are entitled to the labor of other people while you sit at home) is a load of crap solely fabricated to rationalize taking as much as you can from others while not giving back.
And give us a break with the whole theory that a band dies because not enough people got their work for free, especially with a live DVD. It's not up to 'fans' with no experience in the record industry and possibly no work experience what-so-ever to decide what marketing plan should be used.
It is far from elite to buy a cd or dvd, and if you don't care about the opinion's of others then ignore them, they didn't exactly insult you, but you sure are condescending to them.
Lately you post very frequent negative comments and conspiracy theories over and over in different topics but the second someone disagrees with you or has another point of view you snap.
Nobody is trying to stop you from believing that downloading is helping a band stay alive, or that the Earth is flat or whatever equally believable thing you want to post, so give other people the same respect and let them say what they want on a site that is based on discussion. If you want to argue then do it in a civil manner and don't post rhetoric theories and act like everyone who doesn't agree with you is an elitist jerk killing the record industry.
Just my opinion.
Anyway, to pretend to be on topic:
Cool band, hope to see what they come up with next.

I don't know much about Starwave but I will say that I absolutely love the band Nue, so there's that I guess.

You just aptly described how I view your music taste Our music tastes are just so different, even though we seemingly like the same genre.
 
I think I recall listening to something by Luzmelt, but as I don't remember anything about them I probably didn't like them.

lol,
so Qual, Tokami and Sound Bee are shit bands?
For me those are starwave best.
and still have their own typical sound.
Livert wasn't that bad too, they did sound live prety good, even better live than on CD.
but, this topic isn't for to diss the bands and saying that all suck. because its just a matter of taste. I think many other bands suck which you 3 think are amazing. but it isn't about dissing bands. because SW does have bands which enough people love.
however maybe the dislike of SW bands is because people simple hate kiwamu... so whatever band would join people simple going to dislike it no matter what.

I know that I actually want to be a silent lucker on this forum, BUT sometimes I read things which I think need to be discussed or something like that....
 
 
Starwave Records, so many people here seem to hate it because so many bands did disband or did drop off the label. However I still wonder if we really can blame Kiwamu for it or if its just the own stupid mind of bands. not reading contracts good, sighing up a label and then just thinking ah its not what we are looking for. Not standing strong in their own shoes, not having an own strong opinion etc.
I still think that we cannot blame everything on Kiwamu, Kiwamu still makes it good possible for us oversea fans to buy the music of his band labels beside the live limited only goodies. But we can buy lots of music we can listen free to music at spotify. He writes fake price on all parcels and send it as a gift. So yes there are also enough positive things about this label. Don't forget that Kiwamu also creates all MV himself now days. Kinda boring to watch because its always the same but beside that the quality is good. Of course a band should deliver music and if a band is great then a band can also deliver over again and again good music even if they should RELEASE a lot in a short while. Still bands have the choice in how fast they want to release, I'm sure if a band tells Kiwamu, WE cannot, we need more time, that Kiwamu will agree with it as so long the end product will be good and that people will buy it. We all know that Kiwamu is a money wolf. So... everything can be bought with money. 
 
People also said, yeah nobody does share Starwave live DVD/PV DVD. Don't forget that Kiwamu only adds 10 copies EACH time. and often only 1 or a few people did BOUGHT a DVD. And it would be pretty shit if someone would share a DVD and that Kiwamu never ever would sell a DVD in the oversea store anymore, because someone did SHARE it in public. And we know that he could be such person. So better be careful what we share of his shop and not. 100% if we talking about DVD which he burned himself on DVD. Of course its SHIT for those in shitty country who cannot buy something EASY. But that's life, you cannot get everything. And such thing has nothing to do with ELITE people who don't wanna share, sometimes it's to dangerous to share, and it could be the end of be able to buy music easy from this label and that's also not what we want, or does someone want to take that risk? well I won't take that risk. Don't wanna mess it up for everyone.
 
 
Back to the more past of Starwave, of course Starwave has also bad feedback in Japan himself, there are lots of bands who don't like this label too. Or who did drop of the label because of the attitude of Kiwamu. Of course bands broke down too because of Kiwamu. Yet,... a band decide themselves to join this label, they could check out bands who were under this label, bands who will leave the label etc. and if they still join, well its their own decision. A good band creates good music over and over and Starwave Records wasn't bad for all bands. Look up to Sound Bee and Tokami, both bands even created great music which got better and better. Then we still have Misaruka and synk;yet, both are most selling SW bands. Nüe is also doing good under starwave records. Umbrella did leave the label but didn't disband. SaTaN also left the label didn't disband and so few more bands didn't disband.  I also think that bands often DON'T read the CONTRACT they need to sign and talk about it good with Kiwamu. So then yeah stuff can happen that it all looks its all Kiwamu fault.
Of course I don't wanna protect Kiwamu, but it's somehow a pity that everyone blames a label who gives bands SO much. CD, DVD, MV, Flyers, GIGS ,Promotion etc.
Sometimes I also got the feeling that bands who did join in the past were not serious enough and sometimes bands simple decide to disband, happens under other labels too or if they don't have a label at all.
Of course it's kinda WTF if you see bands go from one label.  but if you look around there are more labels were bands come and go.
 
This year
LIV'ERT
MAJOLICA
Calmando Qual
band member "1000" from Tokami
 
Did gave up the label. But somehow I already thought that LIV'ERT kinda losed the spirit in going on at the start of SW because one original member left.
Majolica, they way they looked, somehow I already felt from the beginning that they wouldn't be a long term band.
Calmando Qual, truly did struggle when Kenka left the band and they are already so long around... so one day they would disband anyway... sad to see go but yeah... shit happens.
Tokami 1000, I still wonder the real reason why he will leave the band, lately he wrote good songs for Tokami too. But still popular with woman..
Magistina Saga will be on a break? because one member will leave the band. can have so many reasons.
 
Feels like the label has kind of disband spell.
 
 
Of course there are bands who maybe not sound that great anymore. But can we blame kiwamu for that?
Our can we just say that those bands are simple not that GOOD musicians. Because they kinda mess in creativity if they should write more than 1 song in a while.
 
 
Band who join a label, well....smart people read contracts carefully. Which I think not always did happen. Also, Kiwamu maybe he simple picked up the wrong bands.
 
 
 
After all I'm pretty shocked how many people say they dislike this label.
So what are your real own thoughts about this label? do you really dislike it so much because it broke some bands?
 

they have opened their special webpage for their one-man live "新宿で大騒ぎ！！ " at Shinjuku BLAZE at 2016/04/10...it appears that their new CD will be released at that live
