So here's the thing (considering that MH can be used as a platform for not-so-music-related things (we have Tanuki threads too, after all): As curious fanatics and so on, we are usually intrigued not only about J-musicians (or basically any other musician), but we are also interested in seeing how their offsprings would showcase themselves in the public (not necessarily appliable to every monochromium here but hey - tanuki-tier stuff shouldn't be boring, right?). Not expecting this thread to progress further, but post any pics you could find about children of those popular J-musicians we might have heard of etc. - vk or non-vk, doesn't matter really! (ps. feel free to move this to the gallery section in case this deserves no place around here, I had no idea where to shoehorn this lol). Kiyoharu: Sugizo CORNELIUS

Most music enthusiasts and even casual listeners are more likely to pinpoint their favorite albums from artists' "first steps" - like you'd normally seeing someone e.g. placing Despa's debut on a pedestal and getting zealous over it and etc. But are there any best bits that came out from artists after many years - or even decades of experience? List a few - or many (if you want) fav albums of your fav artists when their experience spanned for a long time. Example: Feel free to mention your fav late-career albums!

Let's see if I manage to ignite some buzz in the section that I rarely visit (not that I expect any responses) Here's something that I'd love to muster with my guitar/bass aficionado colleagues out there: can you guys think of a few instances in VK and/or non-VK stuff (J-music) where odd/unusual tunings were utilized in guitars/bass (seeing as I am getting rather intrigued about freaky tunings lately)? My examples (my sources are from their official song/tab books btw): Dir en grey - DOZING GREEN (Die's part - guitar) Tuning: DADADD + half step down (C#G#C#G#C#C#) (a variation of Open C# tuning) Most musicians cringe upon this due to stigmas laid down by Creed/Alter Bridge and their unfortunate alt. fame. In this case Die managed to express its folkier side (what you'd normally expect from DADGAD) without eventually resorting to stigmatic Christian rockage, heh the GazettE - songs with dropped tunings (Reita - bass) Tuning: various variations of BDGC (low B from standard 5-string tuning + DGC strings from one step down tuning) I find composing on such tuning a bit freaky to begin with (at least from theoretical perspective, like adapting to certain scales for instance and so on), so kudos to Reita for being somewhat innovative on that matter, I guess? I have heard that its frequent use would kill strings pretty quickly though :/ Feel free to come up with stuff you have
