MYSTIFY SAI

[sai 868]

Basically the same as Zess' thread, but this time you're going to have to recommend good ol' me releases. I've been suffering from a lack of new music lately, so I'm going to give you guys a change to impress me with good stuff. Why am I doing this as well?

1. I think I'm more hilarious than Zess and I need to prove this.
2. I will probably get zero responses to this so please do not make me look like a douche.
3. I always have to smile when I see people being all passionate about artists/releases they like so I decided that it's perhaps nice to join people in this.

Same rules: the first five people here who recommend me full length-albums that I do not already know will get a review by me in the review thread. I promise it will not include any silly gifs as in my usual reviews.

 

- One release per person.

- Must be Japanese.

- No metalcore. I really really do not like metalcore, recommending me metalcore albums will not get you anywhere because I won't be able to listen to it and give an objective opinion.

- It would be appreciated if you could send me a link to the release through PM.

 

For the reast, there are no limitations!

 

[CAT5 9075]

AM I ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE?

 

[sai 868]

I SAID NO FURTHER LIMITATIONS CAN'T YOU FUCKING READ OH MY GOD CAT

[CAT5 9075]

AWW SNAP! YOU DUN LET THE CAT IN.
 

 
IMMMA RECOMMEND YOU DA COOLEST SHIT NOW. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Pretsy 1343]

I suppose you haven't caught up on La'cryma Christi yet, Sai? In terms of that, if you like MOTHER-era Luna Sea - but with more poppy/exotic (a la Caribbean-ish? idk) vibes. You should try out their debut full-length, Sculpture of Time

 

PM'ing you soon.

[Champ213 1858]

Not participating because it doesn't rhyme like "Impress Zess " does!

 

It should have been "Mystify Sai" or something!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though, not sure if I can up with something, but if I do, you will hear from me.

[Zeus 7997]

EVERYBODY WATCH OUT MYSTIFYING SAI IS HARDER THAN COOKING 30 MINUTE BROWNIES IN 20 MINUTES!
 
But I actually do have something for you. Depending on your mood, you might actually dig this a lot.

 

Antikaruna


 

Antikaruna is a alternative metal band with progressive and pop-rock elements formed by guitarist Satoshi in Toronto, Canada in 2002, then under the name Ladybug Thrusts. However, due to member and activity inconsistency, the band did not truly take shape until Satoshi returned to Japan in 2008, where female vocalist Haruka was recruited.

The band eventually changed their name and held their first live as Antikaruna in 2009; they released their first mini-album entitled «a false distinction» in the summer of the same year. The band is currently on hiatus.

Antikaruna is
vocals: Matsumoto Haruka
guitar, manipulator: Ogawa Satoshi
drums: Maeta Yuya
support bass: Nomaguchi Hiroshi

DISCOGRAPHY
2009.08.07 ► a false distinction (mini-album)
2009.05.15 ► Mind Cage (single)
2009.XX.XX ► hide me above (single)

 

So clearly since they only have one obtainable release this is what I'll be sending to you via PM.

[Original Saku 1593]

Okay let's see, I think you might enjoy this.. maybe xD I want you to listen to 有形ランペイジ (sasakure.UK) - 有形世界リコンストラクション album from last year. The genre is something described as fusion jazz and progressive rock mixed together. This is another one of my favorite discoveries from last year. I hope this will impress you xD

Tokyo, Japan (2006 – present)

相対性理論 (Sotaisei Riron) is a Japanese pop group that formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2006. Currenty signed to Mirai Records.

some of the most beautiful music that my hardrive ever had the honor to waste its 0's and 1's on. everything on it, the instruments, the vocals the sound are like played and performed in the softest way possible, only touched or whispered, it's really not something you hear everyday, its gorgeous! (and they're named after the theory of relativity, i mean how cool is that?)

oh, one of the best albums EVER =)

[Miasma 162]

Have you received 5 albums already? I only count 4 in this thread, so I'm posting my recommendation anyway. U BETTER LISTEN TO IT CUZ I DIDNT UPLOAD THIS 4 NOTHIN

 

 

I'm sending you j-rock-jazz-pop gods Tokyo Jihen's sophomore album Adult. I love the way this band tackles rock and pop tunes with a fresh sounding jazzier edge. Their first album and the albums after Adult all play with a certain smoky lounge atmosphere, but it's this album that truly embraces it. It's the perfect place to start if you haven't listened to them yet; there is a lot to love here.

[sai 868]

Alright, I have received five albums! I will get to these asap, then once I've finished I will take on the next bunch of five, so don't be afraid to keep posting here! I'll get to them too later.

this album is a masterpiece *nods vigorously*

Hey Sai, hopefully this album makes your second round of "Mystify Sai!"

I know we don't often "hear ear to ear" when it comes to music, but I'd like you to check out ねごと's (NEGOTO) debut album "ex Negoto".

ねごと is a major-label, all-female, keyboard-led pop-rock group.  The thing that fascinates me about ねごと is their ability to tread the line perfectly between mainstream "accessibility" and quirky/creative indie-rock influences.  They fit in well in the indie pop/rock world, just as well as they do performing on Japan's most popular music TV shows.  The songs are catchy and feature great composition, all the while taking you through a number of different, yet cohesive moods and styles.  When you really listen, all of the girls are able to shine and it's apparent they are VERY talented musicians; I must say, the drumming in particular comes off particularly strong!  I hope you'll enjoy!

PM incoming!

I DEMAND SILLY GIFS THO!

[sai 868]

I'll get to these albums as soon as I can, I'm currently really really busy with college because apparently they thought it fun to give me an extra course on top of the one I'm doing now =____=

[ficsci 50]

Saw these guys live the other day. Pretty awesome energy, some people got in a trance (in a jazz show-like way). Also, 2 bassists and 2 drummers, hey!
