Atreides 454 Posted March 16, 2016 Hm, I can't really stand Lycaon, but MeteoroiD and DIAURA are really great. I also enjoyed the Nokubura song you posted as well. For me: 1. Marvelous Maiden - Another Warfare 2. Crowley - Sword of Madness 3. Pierrot - Vanity Dance 4. Zi:Kill - TOUCH ME 5. Verbal - Dope Boy Fresh 6. Dead End - The Damned Thing 7. THE MORTAL - The Mortal 8. KA.F.KA - Labiera Beladen 9. Tokyo Brass Style - Cruel Angel's Thesis 10. Malice Mizer - Baroque KA.F.KA is amazing, I really hope they put out more. Any band with Ken Morioka kicks ass though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lestat 2167 Posted March 22, 2016 A lot of great bands on there. PIERROT, ZI÷KILL, DEAD END, THE MORTAL, KA.F.KA and MALICE MIZER are all excellent. It's hard to choose a favourite. KISS - "Modern Day Delilah" SilhouetteNewRomance - "Pinkhz Radio Wave" 幻覚アレルギー (Genkaku Allergy) - "Rafty" Van Halen - "Hear About It Later" BUCK-TICK - "Hyper Love" Mötley Crüe - "Flush" 12012 - "DEICIDA OF SILENCE" DELUHI - "Orion Once Again" deadman - "blut" PIERROT - "LANDSCAPE" Enough things on here that stand out for me. This pretty much shows the core of my tastes nowadays too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted May 10, 2016 Nice list of bands, but I only know "blut" by deadman. Love that band! I haven't listened to my music on shuffle in a while so let's gooo~ 1. dip - DmDmDm 2. DADAROMA - 最終電車 3. DISH - SNOW EMOTION 4. 浜崎あゆみ - kiss o'kill 5. LM.C - DOUBLE DRAGON 6. 秋葉原少年団☆電脳ロメオ - Extended7. MEJIBRAY - 悲哀 8. Tommy heavenly6 - LCDD 9. Guniw Tools - DISTORTION 10. UVERworld - -forecast map 1955- Hmm, a mix of old and recent stuff...Going with MEJIBRAY on this one. I love that ballad and it's definitely going on my song of the year list.

peffy 3568 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I know I really like "kiss o'kill", though I can't remember what it sounds like right now. Kind of feel like blasting some Ayumi classics now, lol. I did like what MEJIBRAY was going for with "Hiai", but I felt like it should've been twice as long. Currently at work, can't type Japanese. Shuffling my iPhone, which currently has a bunch of songs I liked that I haven't heard in a while. 1. And - Suicidal dance 2. Dolly - Ryuuseigun -Shooting Star- 3. AYABIE - Paradise Paradox 4. Sid - Rain 5. amber gris - ugly crawler 6. Wakeshima Kanon - Shoujo jikake no Libretto ~Storytelling by solita~ 7. DIAURA - Whiteness 8. LM.C - Loud_Mucker_Complex 9. And - Tokage 10. D'espairsRay - MAZE As much as like some of those other songs, I'm going with MAZE. That TSUKASA drumming combined with .. something that sounds like a hand drum? I dunno. Drums are not typically my favourite instrument but I really loved how they were used in this song. Edited May 10, 2016 by peffy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chi 2624 Posted May 10, 2016 I know a lot of the bands in your list but I haven't checked their stuff in a while LOL but +1 D'espa 1. GRAPEVINE - BABEL 2. Arctic Monkeys - The Jeweller's Hands 3. The GazettE - バレッタ 4. The Black Skirts - Love Shine 5. ONE OK ROCK - Take me to the top 6. HaKU - Everything but the love 7. Tempalay - LOVE MY CAR 8. Charisma.com - お局ロック 9. AvelCain - 踏切少女 10. Kiryu - 宵月 imma go with gazette's baretta because it is one of my favorite songs by them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
togz 2004 Posted May 10, 2016 Okay so like real shit.... the black skirts... if that's the korean black skirts.... my friend was super in that band at one point in time. BUT HEY THAT BARETTA THOUGH. That was my favorite GazettE song for my whole GazettE fanning career. Probably because each instrument has a chance to shine in that song. 1. PLASTIC GIRL IN CLOSET - ERROR 2. LAST CALIX - Anenome 3. Hands Like Houses - Lion Skin 4. Death From Above 1979 - Always On 5. wrong city - Blood Libel 6. HER NAME IN BLOOD - HALO 7. fox capture plan - With Wind 8. Animals as Leaders - Tooth and Claw 9. THE NOVEMBERS - Blood Music.1985 10. The Plot in You - Take Me Away A lot of the stuff in this one I don't want to think about... but SHRUUUUG 1 The Reverend reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Reverend 3566 Posted May 10, 2016 That Animals as Leaders song is pretty sick (and Tosin looked super handsome in the video I just watched of them playing it.) I checked out Hands Like Houses because you highlighted their track (and because their name reminded me of Curse These Metal Hands) but everything about them was just a little too slick/polished. Here's mine from my entire music library on shuffle: 1. D'espairs Ray - Tatoeba kimi... ga... shinda... ra 2. St. Vincent - The Strangers 3. Jyakura - Sara to karen 4. Hybrid-Zombiez - 異電子 5. Nirvana - Breed 6. Slinger - セイヴィア 7. Robyn - Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do 8. Planetarium - 激情Revival 9. Armor for Sleep - Very Invisible 10. Mitochondrion - Rift / Apex Whoa I listened to some awesome tracks in the last hour. I really like that Armor for Sleep song... but that D'espairs Ray is an all time great VK song! Hands down my favorite of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peffy 3568 Posted May 11, 2016 Heh, that D'espairsRay song is the only one I'm familiar with. I don't like many of their earlier releases, but that song is an exception, it is really good! I will go again, because I wanted to do it with my full library. 1. 加藤ミリヤ - LALALA feat. 若旦那 (湘南乃風) 2. 快進のICHIGEKI - サンキューバイバイ (acoustic version) 3. ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - ループ&ループ 4. R指定 - 包帯男 5. 川田まみ - Going back to square one 6. Awake - 革命⇒Eruizm 7. 王菲 - 但願人長久 8. 中田裕二 - スローモーション 9. 陳小春 - 該我的愛 10. ACIDMAN - swayed The two Chinese songs (7 and 9) are very nice ballads.. The ACIDMAN song is pretty good too, I think.. but I'm gonna go with AKFG.. I don't like many of their songs because they all kind of run together, but this song stands out because it was in an Ouendan game. Those were good times!

plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I don't really know those bands/artists, sorry. >.< Part of the chorus in that AKFG song sounds soooo familiar. Sounds like some THE KIDDIE song, but I'm not sure which one. I've heard some good songs by ACIDMAN, but I don't know that one... 1. baroque - モノドラマ 2. √eight - 名も亡き神の行進3. World's End Girlfriend - Give Me Shadow,Put On My Crown. 4. My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND - REAPER MIMIC 5. THE BLUE HEARTS - 星をください 6. ハルカトミユキ - 絶望ごっこ 7. REALies - あの影の中で 8. STELLA... - 禊祓ヱ-misogiharae- 9. √eight - Bonus Track 10. LM.C - Shibuya Cantabile The WEG track was one of my favorites back then. The ハルカトミユキ(haruka to miyuki) song is pretty good too. Also, I only have that REALies song because it was in a trio release with Arlequin and Pentagon. xD Edited May 11, 2016 by plastic_rainbow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted May 11, 2016 One of those times I know all of the names and even have some music from a few of those artists but don't recognize a single song.... Sorry. 1. Don't Cry - 신화 2. 虚言NEUROSE - MY FIRST STORY 3. 欠落の欠片 - THE BLACK SWAN 4. 月影 -GEKKOH- - the Underneath 5. START OVER (feat. MY FIRST STORY) - ナノ 6. White Light - Geri X 7. Sayounara - Peelander-Z 8. 激東京 - 激楽隊 9. Carat - abstracts 10. 失踪FLAME - MY FIRST STORY So shuffle feels like I've been ignoring MFS for too long and spammed me with them..... I'm going with Gekigakutai since everything about that side project still makes me happy. I wish they'd put something new out one of these days. The Geri X song is a close second. She's a brilliant local artist that deserves a lot more attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwampMan 222 Posted May 11, 2016 Haven't done one these in quite some time. I'm familiar with only 4 artists/bands from your list. Can't go wrong with Nano and MFS if you want catchy stuff xD. 01. ポルノグラフィティ - アニマロッサ (Porno Graffitti - Anima Rossa) 02. ギルガメッシュ - patchwork (LIVE BEST ver.) 03. MONOEYES - Just A Little More Time 04. UPLIFT SPICE - 掌 (Tenohira) 05. AvelCain - いろはにほへと (Iroha ni hoheto) 06. the GazettE - RAGE 07. TK from 凛として時雨 - flower 08. 洲崎綾 - ねぐせ (Aya Suzaki - Neguse) 09. れをる - 極彩色 (Reol - Gokusaishiki) 10. Aimer - Ophelia Nothing much to say, some unexpected gazette in there that usually doesn't come up. I wasn't sure which to choose between patchwork and flower but in the end TK won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakuran 1216 Posted May 13, 2016 Unfortunately I don't listen to most of the things on your list, but it does at least remind me that I've been meaning to check out more 凛として時雨, since I liked their songs for Psycho-Pass quite a bit. 1. Kajiura Yuki - Cyber-Slum 2. Kaze no Orchestra - Gray Witch 3. BLOOD - DANSE MACABRE (Virgins O.R. Pigeons mix) 4. Animetal - Star Children 5. -OZ- - Butterfly6. Origa - Rise 7. Onmyouza - 黒衣の天女 8. Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No.9 in D Minor, II. Molto Vivace - Presto - Molto 9. Kiryuu - Tsurezuregusa 10. Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away Quite the random mix of things again, which is unsurprising with what's on my hard drive. I didn't even remember that I had the Lodoss soundtracks but apparently I do. Not gonna lie, for me choosing a favorite was between Rise and Pushing Me Away... Hybrid Theory is still one of my favorite things ever, fight me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted May 27, 2016 Uh... there's not a whole lot there that I recognise. I didn't even recognise the 己龍 song (mainly because I don't read romaji), but I haven't listened to the album that song is from. I just couldn't let this thread stay on Page 2 (lol). 01. 蜉蝣 - 摩擦信仰 02. the GazettE - Red 03. AUGUST BURNS RED - Mosley 04. Para:noir - 刈ルベキ華ヨ刻キタレリ 05. Plastic Tree - 静脈 06. Like Thieves - Picture Perfect 07. UNDEAD CORPORATION - かへりはこわい 08. darkest hour - LOVE AS A WEAPON 09. a crowd of rebellion - Black Philosophy Bomb 10. D'espairsRay - 幻-genshoku-触 My first time hearing Like Thieves, despite the fact that their mini-album "Autumn's Twilight" has been on my hard drive for centuries. The darkest hour song made me so sad, because it's a pretty awful song. John Henry ruined their last two albums (THE HUMAN ROMANCE and self-titled). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiroki 5521 Posted May 27, 2016 ^ definitely 静脈 for me too! i remember hearing this song live before its release and i was blown away. i really should revisit pura's discography soon... i dunno if i was supposed to shuffle my entire library or just 1 playlist. but i did the former anyway and got a really weird assortment of tracks o.o 1. Renny Lily - MARIAの涙 2. XIBALBA - LOST IRIS 3. -真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ - 彼ノ夢、幻。 4. 崎元仁 - 迫る脅威 5. LOVE JUNKIE - NO... 6. 霧澤タクト (CV.宮野真守) & 無月ヒジリ (CV.KENN) - STARDUST LOVERS 7. Maria Callas - Norma: "Casta Diva" (Bellini) 8. 松下優也 - Bird 9. 小宇 - 過渡期10. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Vocalise, Op. 34 No. 14 (Anna Moffo, cond. Leopold Stokowski, American Symphonic Orchestra) the vk bands that popped up i don't even listen to that much. if i had to select a vk song it will probably be the zigzag one. otherwise i'm going for moffo's 'vocalise' - it's one of the most beautiful renditions of rachmaninoff's masterpiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frayed 404 Posted May 27, 2016 Admittedly not too familiar with the stuff above, although Moffo's Vocalise was in fact a treat. Definitely something I could see myself enjoying in the right mood, so thanks for that! 1. Mejibray - Tori wa oyogikata o shirazu obore nakigara 2. Dir en grey - AMON 3. hide - Pink Spider 4. Malisend - 閃 5. Mejibray - Divergence 6. Mejibray - Baby Crossing 7. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours 8. the GazettE - Burial Applicant 9. Nirvana - You Know You're Right 10. Dir en grey - Lotus Special shout-out to Jason Mraz for breaking that up a little! I went with the first song because I'm a sucker for the bass in it, I love the lyrics, etc. Honestly, my taste with this band kind of changes from week to week since I'm still a relatively new fan and keep finding new favorites, but this one's stuck with me.

AliceParanoid 292 Posted May 27, 2016 Divergence! It's one of my favourite Mejibray Songs - Also Meto looks really nice in the PV 1: Do What U Want Ft. R.Kelly - Lady Gaga2: Believe - Cher 3: Untouched - The Veronicas 4: Big Fat Bass Ft. will.i.am - Britney Spears 5: Fall In Love Ft. will.i.am - Rita Ora 6: Elastic Heart - Leroey Sanchez [Cover] 7: Higher - RIhanna 8: Lucifer - The Gallo 9: Bubble Pop - HyunA10: Cannibal - Kesha So....uhm yeah I can't decide between this 3. Believe is just a classy af song - Lucifer's instruemntal & Jojo's voice are just insane & Cannibals Beat is just so nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haido 13 Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Too bad, I don't know most of the artists or their songs from your list ^^' 1. Queen of the Damned (movie soundtrack) - Forsaken 2. GACKT - Future 3. DIAURA - RUIN 4. MEJIBRAY - メサイア (mesaia) 5. D - Dark wings 6. DIAURA - Menace 7. MORRIGAN - Devil Parede 8. MORRIGAN - Everlasting 9. MEJIBRAY - DECADANCE -Counting Goats if I can't be yours- 10. Kingdom hearts (soundtrack) - Dearly Beloved Wow, DECADANCE is one of my over the top favorites. I just love how the music kicks in from the beginning and the energy lasts until the end. Edited May 29, 2016 by haido Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted May 29, 2016 Familiar with Gackt, D, Diaura, and Mejibray on your list but I'm probably more into the Kingdom Hearts song more than any of them. So many good memories for me with that game. <3 D'erlanger - dancin'g with Lilly vistlip - IDEA back number - エンディング 40 Below Summer - Still Life NoGoD - 桃源郷へようこそ MUCC - 1R The 3rd Birthday - DEADMAN'S SHOW Ill Niño - Bleed Like You Dropkick Murphys - Thick Skin of Defiance シド - 恋におちて I was digging this mix, it's hard to pick a favorite, actually. I'm kind of trapped between old songs I love and new songs I love haha. Sooo maybe the new NoGoD gets top with Ill Niño at a very close second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Mostly familiar with vistlip, NoGoD, and MUCC from that list, but I'm wayyy behind on their releases. >_< 1. SCISSOR - 理想street 2. 北出菜奈 - 私は時限爆弾 3. Akira Yamaoka - Sickness Unto Foolish Death (Silent Hill 3) 4. Ruvie - Parfait 5. 朝倉紀行 - 夜明け (Tenchu 3) 6. Psysalia Psysalis Psyche - Lemon Pop 7. Guniw Tools - From the Inside 8. Clavier~クラビア~ - Love Story 9. cali≠gari - Yakouressha 10. Plastic Tree - エとセとラ This is a surprisingly good list. But once Plastic Tree came on it instantly took over everything. Definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I remember listening to it a lot once their Dona Dona album came out. (Also, the cali≠gari song is in romaji because I haven't had time fixing their tags yet...) Edited June 2, 2016 by plastic_rainbow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted June 8, 2016 ^ Psysalia Psysalis Psyche is/was great! I thought they were really heading somewhere special, especially with "Matin Brun" and the subsequent singles. The final album seemed a bit rushed in comparison. Not especially familiar with the other music listed. (Also, @plastic_rainbow - I will get back to you on your mix. I still need to listen to it some more!) 01. midori hirano - night wish 02. ううじん - むりしない 03. Coupie - 雪解けへ 04. 石橋英子 - shortcircuit 05. Hiatus Kaiyote - Breathing Underwater 06. Serph - never end 07. フリーボ - どしゃぶりのこの雨は・・・ 08. 大村みさこ - この川を渡って 09. Aureole - The Sea, The Room 10. 嶺川貴子 - Klaxon! (a new type) (remix by buffalo daughter) gahhhhh, this is easily one of my favorite tracks of 2015, and in recent years! I love everything about it! 1 plastic_rainbow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo 389 Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Tbh I'm only somewhat familiar with Hiatus Kaiyote and Aureole, the rest don't ring a bell but I'm bad with japanese names anyway 01. 地盤沈下 - 世も末だ 02. Annabyss Coast - 鳥籠 03. ミドリ - 愛って悲しいね 04. ギルガメッシュ - イシュタル 05. 黒夢 - CANDY 06. Envy - Farewell to Words 07. LÄ-PPISCH - 美代ちゃんの××× 08. Rosso - サキソフォン・ベイビー 09. バックドロップシンデレラ - ペットショップボーイ 10.

CAT5 9075 Posted August 4, 2016 I know some of those artists (Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls, Miley, Meabel, and Aliene Ma'riage), but I'm not familiar with any of those songs! 01. Meme (ミーム) - Cploop 02. Chouchou - SUPERNOVA (cold rouge mix) 03. LOW-PASS - Nitro 04. THE BACK HORN - 白い日記帳 05. pegmap - サイレン 06. Wool Strings - Clock in the Snow 07. ESNO - S.Y.L.M. 08. immi - Swimmer 09. Land of Talk - Some Are Lakes 10. Akira Kosemura - Embraced Time Mf math-rock ftw. Definitely one of the more memorable songs by the band. I would have went with Land of Talk, but that version of "Some Are Lakes" is the short, acoustic one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peffy 3568 Posted August 4, 2016 ^ The only band I ever even HEARD of is THE BACK HORN. I remember checking them out when I was first getting into Japanese music. Can't say I liked them very much, haha. I listened to that LOW-PASS song on Youtube, sounds pretty cool but I really prefer music with vocals. Here's my shuffle (using my ENTIRE iTunes library) 01 NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST - Rise above 02 ACO - 真正ロマンティシスト (Shinsei Romanticist) 03 ゴールデンボンバー (Golden Bomber) - Please!×3 04 中島卓偉 (Nakajima Takui) - さらけだす (Sarakedasu) 05 JASMINE - #AGARU 06 ALI PROJECT - LOST CHILD 07 畠山美由紀 (Hatakeyama Miyuki) - Dream a little dream of me 08 Jay-Z - Streets is Watching 09 己龍 (Kiryu) - 蹲 (Tsukubai) 10 三浦大知 (Miura Daichi) - Super Star Man, this is a pretty tough call. I SUUUPER love those 3 highlighted songs. It's a surprisingly good mix, considering it was shuffling ~20000 songs... (lol @ surprise 90s Jay-Z appearing in between all the Japanese stuff) Ended up disqualifying JASMINE because of her usage of a hashtag in the title T_T but it's a really good pop/dance song. Tsukubai is one of my all-time fave Kiryu songs, but Kiryu is really popular in this forum so I went with the one people would be less familiar with... ACO. I LOVE this period of ACO's career. Her genres went like.. pop/soul -> trip-hop -> Bjorkish -> mellow stuff? adult contemporary? acoustic pop? i dunno Shinsei Romanticist is from the trip-hop period, and is one of the best examples of her ethereal voice and wide range. 2 CAT5 and doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
