  1. I find it so interesting how dividing this look is

    I'm on the side of not liking it at all but I'm really curious why people do like it. 

     

    Either way, quite interested to see what the album is like. I know someone was giving them shit for the 入口 (entrance) and 出口 (exit) songs in the news section but I like it considering it considering it's title is literally like sorrowful maze/labyrinth. 

     

     

    I wonder if tomorrow at Haru's free birthday oneman they'll be wearing the new outfits

  3. i went to in stores or if they're wandering around in the live house i talk to them etc 

     

    ryo's pretty nice??? we finally were able to have a conversation yesterday (normally he just nopes out of the convo because he doesnt know how to deal with us lollll) but oops i think i promised him that i'd go to the shellmy anniversary oneman??

    idk much about yuga i've barely talked to him but he always makes sure to throw me candy during that one song that they throw candy so he's grown on me a lot!!! 

    but the votes are in and kaoru is SO CUTE according to me and everyone i know

     

    well yuga was in high school during the first shellmy so yuga is really young yeah. but yeah early to mid twenties. 

    i bought the newest minialbum finally but i didnt really listen to it

    oh man 放課後の凶室 is great you should get it


  4. After the RAGING STORM TOUR 2017 with INCEPTION OF GENOCIDE, KENTA will leave HONE YOUR SENSE for personal reasons.

     

    Tour dates are as follows:

    • 2017/1/29 @ Shinjuku MARZ
    • 2017/02/11 @ Shinsakae RAD SEVEN
    • 2017/02/12 @  Amemura DROP
    • 2017/03/04 @ Yokohama F.A.D
    • 2017.03.05 @ Sendai Flying Son

     

    HONE YOUR SENSE is accepting applications for a new guitarist here.


  5. i feel like a broken record at times like these....

     

    Oshare kei is a mistake by whoever tried to write it at first. It's osare kei. 

     

    Secondly, the global community is the only community who still has a deathgrip on the "~~~kei" description. In +4 years and ~200 vk concerts I've almost never heard anyone use these classifications. which is why you cant really put the label on most of the bands these days. Not to mention the terms the global community itself came up with.

     

    also as an ensoku fan I've gotta point out--you used the band name for everything else but when it came to ensoku you wrote the song name this is a pen. 

     

    When describing bands these days we describe the atmosphere because very few bands are strictly one way or the other. "abare" "kirakira" (I've never said or heard kirakira kei) are the two main ways to describe bands besides "futsuu." Sometimes, we do say "kote/kotekote."

     

    you're looking at modern vk through a very dated system 


  6.  

    -真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ

    • 繋がりたい
    • 悪いのはバンドマン
    • 仕切りが嫌い
    • オキニ

    ZigZag just kind of (mostly) killed it this year for me. I really enjoyed most of their releases. While their songs are enjoyable without any Japanese, I think they're better enjoyed with knowledge of bangya culture & knowing the terms etc. I worry that they're going to run out of jokes soon though lol

     

    シェルミィ

    It's hard to say an entire release for them was great, and I still haven't gotten their newest mini (oops) but they had a lot of songs this year that are my jams. So here's my fav songs of theirs from this year

    • 平成メンヘラセオリー
    • 放課後の凶室
    • 絶交
    • and that one song where they throw candy live I forgot what it's called because in my head it's just 飴玉を頂戴

    ザアザア

    • 雨に殺される

    No doubt about it, I enjoyed XAA-XAA's releases way more last year than this year. However, 雨に殺される is probably my favorite release of this year. 

     

    ZETSURIN HAGUKI

    • 若者離れが止まらない!

    It was interesting seeing the transition from their substage acoustic act into a real band. I'm glad they put both versions of the songs on the CD, too. I've always enjoyed 絶リン☆ハグキ so it's not that surprising I enjoyed them as ZETSURIN HAGUKI. It's a shame they haven't done more as a full band but I'm not that surprised they went back to just doing stuff as the acoustic act.

     

    ReVision of Sence

    • 八面楚歌

    It just has a lot of my ReVision jams on it like Yeah! めっちゃナンマイダ,  ヨノナカカオ & 幸せの殺し方 and I mean there's a love song to broccoli so what more do you need

     

    プロキシオン

    • ▲:再生

    My fav of the bleep bloops rock tbh. 続・ルル, キラキラ,  and あいのうた are some of my fav songs on the album. It's not my fav release of theirs but it's really solid and I love them

     

    Last Day Dream

    • Another Dimension
    • VoDvsLDD

    I just love LDD so much you guys :') Another Dimension is such a great song though. I love Saimotic's screams and like wowee three guitars and some of the best crabcore Osaka has to offer 

     

    HONE YOUR SENSE

    • PHONOMENA

    I love Broken Toys in Attic so much. I love HYS so much. what a great band.

     

    ヒステリックパニック

    • シンデレラ・シンドローム

    I want to say Big Issue too but I can't remember what songs are even on the CD. Cinderella Syndrome has a great DVD attached too.

     

     

     

    I think my list of CDs I bought and then forgot about is as long as the list of CDs I enjoyed this year so as a bonus here's that list too

     

     
    • ザアザア -- したいだけでしょ?   When thinking about XAA-XAA's releases I often forget about this one
    • サウイフモノ -- GAME OVER  What a bad way to go out..........
    • -真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ  -- オキラ  Unlike every other release from ZigZag it just doesn't grab me
    • えんそく --  アリス・エクス・マキナ  I almost completely forgot about this CD.
    • Every Minus Jin-Say Orchestra release from this year. 
    • ギガマウス -- GIGAGAIN & 僕のCARICATURE、壊して燃やす。  GIGAGAIN's rerecordings of old songs are subpar--the older versions were better. And CARICATURE is just not memorable.
    • GARAK'S -- ガラクタヒーロー  I like them I just never listen to them. This is probably my fav release out of the ones in this list.
    • Those 白日ノ夢 live house only CDs. I think I listened to them for two days and then forgot about them.
    • That 黒姫の夢遊病 distribute CD
    • That 甘い暴力 distribute CD

     

     

    Some of my favorite purchases this year were older CDs from bands that were new to me--Proxyon and Cosmo-Shiki for example--or that I finally bothered to really check out--HONE YOUR SENSE and Las Day Dream for example. 

     

    By the end of this year, I was going to non-VK lives just as much (or more?) than visual kei lives and it's reflected in my CD list too. Next year I'll pretty much be done with VK, tbh. 


  7. i havent talked much to ryo tbh but i do have his pick...

    hyo's my homeboy though. I've talked to him the most out of any of the members.

     

    they'd certainly be delighted if you were able to see them :)
    yeah if they play a certain song (I forgot which one) they throw A LOT of candy...

    Last time hyo was walking back from the merch table and just randomly handed me more candy?? thanks bro...

     

    hmm i mean less that they're crazy and more that they need parental supervision.

    They've made some really catchy songs that I love but.... very often they remind me of a high school garage band that you wanna support but at the same time cringe a little while watching...


  8. I'll probably always have a soft spot for hyo. he's a big goofball. A lot of times we run into each other we just noises at each other lol..

     

    平成メンヘラセオリー、放課後の凶室、絶交 are all my jams
    I also like that one song where they throw candy into the crowd (half because of the candy, half because i like the song itself) but if you ever see them do that one be careful... hyo is merciless when he chucks the candy into the crowd LOL (on the other hand yuga daintily throws it lmao)

     

    but this band is honestly a H O T  M E S S

    add xaa-xaa in this, note tho that their short band life skewes how prolific they are

    they've definitely been coming out with more than an albums worth for 2015 and 2016

    scapegoat and gossip have been really busy this year too

    yeah i was about to say the same about XAA-XAA

     

    years: 2 years
    unique songs: 41
    time it takes to listen: 2 hours, 38 minutes
    productivity rate: ~20 songs / year

     

    it is worth mentioning they made 12 songs in about a 2 month time frame before forming.

    I really like the single 雪時計 released in 2015.

     

    i've come to appreciate yukidoke a lot more than i used to. the song is great...i just like never listen to ballads

    Slowly getting back into this band... I'm so behind.

    The last release I bought was "Yukitokei" :/ lol

     

    if you're looking for recommendations from this year's releases i'd say 雨に殺される

    but it seems that the overseas fans didn't like it as much as the foreign fans that go to see them in Japan did
    out of the three singles they released recently i'd say どす黒い is my fav then カミソリ

     

    I have an extra copy of yomei (type A) & shitai dake desho (type B, I actually have like 3? extras) if anyone's interested in getting a copy of those w


  11. I think dosuguroi is my fav of the three singles

     

    btw Junko has officially left the band. We asked at an in store and they were like yep she quit.

    I have in store stuff written up here actually if you're curious about the sort of things they talked about. I've even written for the most recent two at little HEARTS. on the 4th.

    I also have live reports written up on there too.

     

    Anyway I guess Roji has chosen the translation of 中毒者 as addict rather than junkie 

     

    Interestingly enough, they're starting a fanclub in January that's only 423yen a month. 
    For those who join early, they're having free birthday onemans for Haru and Kazuki.

    Haru's is "oharu no hi" (oharu's day) and Kauzki's is called "mayu sagari kinenbi" (drooping eyebrows' anniversary/holiday). So, yeah, they make fun of Kazuki's eyebrows too if you were wondering

     

    They'll have an important announcement @ LOFT

    Everyone is expecting it to be "we're going up to Tokyo!"

    Why tho the band is doing so well!

    they were just doing OK tbh

    they've plateaued and interest has been waning for a while imo. I've never seen them get more than a few rows getting into it at event lives. Most of their songs people just don't even bother with--they just wait for them to play kangoku rockmen.

    They really have never been able to get past being the The Kangoku Rockmen Band.

     

    The recording quality has really suffered since they left badegg box and the newest single was forgettable.

     

    they were pretty fun live (well, for the most part). I enjoyed seeing them whenever I did and hope I make it in time on Friday. live was way better than CDs imo. but I'm also in the camp that I just kind of accepted shiki's vocals. I hope they get a new vocalist but remember N@H is technically on hiatus too. So, I wonder if GIGAMOUS will come back at all.


  13. 猫と月と何も起きない魔法の夜

    ハローハロー ひとりきり夜は
    皆がいなくなったみたい
    僕だけ残されて

     

    真っ白いあなたの孤独も
    真っ黒い誰かの笑顔も
    いまただ沈むだけ

     

    なんでかな 寂しいや
    ひとりでも平気さ
    生きることやめたいな
    だけどいま死ぬ勇気もないし

     

    ハローハロー いま夜の隅で
    静かに魔法の言葉を歌う
    ただ響くだけ

     

    この坂登ればあなたに
    曲がり角曲がればあなたに
    会える そんなの嘘だ

     

    もしかして僕だけ
    なにかしらおかしいの
    一つだけ願いが叶うなら
    そんなのもないし

     

    もういいかい? まーだだよ
    もういいかい? まーだだよ
    もういいかい? まーだだよ
    もういいかい? もういいよ

     

    もういいや

     

    ハローハロー ここが僕の世界
    魔法じゃないありのままのこと歌う
    ただ生きるだけ


  14. デスピアノ

    壊れかけ僕の亡霊が 踊り出すとループ
    そして嫌になって 空想の君に話す 現実なんて嘘
    繰り返される声で 暗いイメージ連想して

    夜になって 空想の淡い夢の中

     

    ゆらゆら 痺れる 聴こえる デスピアノ

     

    壊れかけ理性の防衛線 顔の無い顔がループ
    そして嫌になって 幻想の世界に逃げる 現実なんて嘘
    繰り返される毎日で 狂い出した僕なんで
    涙腺すらゲシュタルト崩壊だ もう闇の中

     

    くらくら 縺れる 鳴り響く デスピアノ

     

    ゆらゆら  痺れる 聴こえる デスピアノ
    くらくら 縺れる 鳴り響く デスピアノ


  15. 孤独論

    僕は別に一人でいいし
    むしろ誰ともいたくないし
    何をしても気楽でいいし
    避けられるなんて慣れてるし

     

    人としゃべるの得意じゃないし
    むしろ時間のムダになるし
    何を話しても疲れちゃうし
    興味ないし 俗っぽいし

     

    だけど夜になったら
    なんでだろ 不安になる
    君に何してるかな
    なんてこと思うよ

     

    どうせいつか死ぬのなら 一人のままでいい
    寂しい時は 星見上げ 楽しい孤独論

     

    僕は別に一人でいいし
    君の気持ちがわからないし
    周りの目とかどーでもいいし
    笑われるなんて慣れてるし

     

    人としゃべるの得意じゃないし
    ねこと話す方が楽しいし
    話合わすとかくだらないし
    つまらないし バカっぽいし

     

    だけど今のままなのは
    少しだけ 不安になる
    僕は何になるかな
    なんてこと思うよ

     

    どうせいつか嫌われる 一人のままでいい
    虚しい時は 本を読み 楽しい孤独論

     

    寂しいなんて思ってないし
    悲しいなんて感じないし
    僕は君のこと好きじゃないし
    興味ないし 俗っぽいし

     

    どうせいつか死ぬのなら 一人のままでいい
    悲しい時は ほら歌え 楽しい孤独論

     

    僕は別に一人でいいし
    実はちょっとだけ寂しいし


  16. 僕の歌を総て君にあげたい

    あれ? ちょっと僕なんかおかしくない?
    部屋の中 あなた探し 手をのべて
    誰だっけ? あなたって誰だっけ?
    僕の中 あなた探し 目を閉じて

     

    好きなんて言えないで死んでっていいや

    ひとりきり終わればいい え!? なのに今

     

    会いたくて気づいた あなたのためなら歌えるよ
    愛の歌ないけど 狂った歌ならいつでも歌うしそばにいて

     

    あぁ... ちょっとそろそろやばいかも
    僕の中 あなたばっか 住んでいて
    少しだけひとりに慣れたのに
    街の中 あなたばっか 探してて

     

    あー そうか そもそも違うよね
    昔から 僕は僕を嫌ってて
    なんだっけ? 僕っていったいなんだっけ?
    ぼらごらん ソレは押し寄せて

     

    最期まで君のこと想えばいいや
    ひとりきり終わればいい え!? だけど今

     

    会えなくて気づいた あなたのためなら笑えるよ
    愛の歌ないけど 狂った歌ならいつでも歌うしすばにいて

     

    何を思い君は生きる? 君がほしい総て 今
    何もないが総てあげる 歌をあげる総て ほら

     

    最期までひとりきり死んでっていいや
    でも実は君がいない毎日はイヤだ
    君のため何もかもなくしてもいいや
    僕の歌全部あげるね だから今

     

    会いたくて気づいた あなたのためなら歌えるよ
    愛の歌ないけど 狂った歌ならいつでも歌うしそばにいて
    愛されて気づいた あなたのためなら生きれるよ
    愛の歌ないけど 狂った歌でもよければあげるし笑ってよね


  17. Null

    何かできるとか 才能があるとか
    ああそう 妄想 路傍の石
    錆びる 錆びる 生きる意志

     

    幸せがあるとか 友達がいるとか
    あっそう 空想 孤高な日々
    夜が白い

     

    狂いそな私だけ見てくれるのは誰
    空っぽな毎日は もうイヤだ
    もうイヤだ 

     

    愛してくれるとか 私を好きだとか
    ああそう 妄想 ただの嘘
    揺れる 揺れる 残る希望

     

    誰かを救うとか そのため歌うとか
    あっそう 空想 だって無謀
    夜が白い

     

    狂いそな夜の果て 抱き締めてほしいだけ
    一人きり泣くだけは もうイヤだ
    もうイヤだ

     

    中傷 重症 嘲笑い声
    シーソー 街灯 赤い月
    涙 枯れた 蒼い傷
    ピアノ ピエロ 地下の雨

     

    ハロー ハロー 全部消えてしまえばいいのに

     

    狂いそな私だけ見てくれるのは誰
    空っぽな毎日は もうイヤだ
    もうイヤだ


  18. I've always liked Shotaro's lyrics so I figured I'd start typing them up up my tumblr.

    I'll just basically dump them in this thread too. If you want romaji I can type that up too upon request.

    I'm starting with LOSER STRIKES BACK because it has a lot of my fav songs on it. 

     

     

     

     

    冷たい雨

    ねぇ明日になったら
    もう僕はいないんだろう?
    このままどこか消えれたら なんて 目をつぶるだけ

     

    雨が降っても傘はないから
    冷たい悲しみでこのまま僕が

     

    壊れてくなら 今すぐ消えたい
    いつか変われるのかな 今は眠るだけ

     

    ねぇ明日になっても
    何も変わらないだろう?

    この日々から抜け出せたら なんて 目をつぶるだけ

     

    雨が降ったら思い出すから
    冷たい悲しみでこのまま僕が

     

    戻らないなら 今すぐ消えたい
    いつか笑えるのかな 今は濡れるだけ

     

    しとしと 冷たい雨が心に穴を空けた
    ぽたぽた  赤い雨が心の穴を埋めた

     

    もう明日はないから
    もう僕は消えて透き通る

     

    雨が降っても傘はないから
    冷たい悲しみでこのまま僕が 

     

    壊れてくなら 今すぐ消えたい
    いつか変われるのかな 今は眠るだけ 

     

    しとしと 冷たい雨が心に穴を空けた
    ぽたぽた  赤い雨が心の穴を埋めた
