Mihenno 4195 Posted January 2, 2016 Disclaimer: I'm ass at writing, so expect nothing at all to a couple incoherent sentences. --- アンフィル - LUNAR PHASE Honestly...fuck. This whole album is Shogo's vocals make me feel like I'm being twirled around in a sea of erotic whispers. --- AvelCain - 片想い This song gets me with the fucking piano. I blast this shit on repeat whenever it comes on. --- CLØWD - #夏の微熱 I thought their フィクションØ album was atrocious honestly, but this single saved CLØWD for me. I normally don't like short songs that are like 2mins long but Take_53 was a banger. Obviously the title track was fucking amazing too. --- DADAROMA - 「dadaism#1」 I'm all for jazz kei and this blew me away. I really enjoy MONEY and モルヒネ#2 --- Develop One’s Faculties - 「reincarnation」 I couldn't care less if some of their songs sound similar to each other. These guys are brilliant with their catchy compositions. "insert memory" more like "insert this awesome 3-songs-in-1 into my fucking ears" --- DIV - イケナイKISS Holy shit did I hate the cheesy music video for this single but the song delivered. They kept the catchiness of SECRET NIGHT and made a banger with イケナイKISS. I miss how DIV used to sound but they pull off space-club-electro-rock flawlessly. --- the GazettE - DOGMA --- グリモア - ぼくとタルパ I miss PIECE so much, but I'm starting to really get into Grimoire. This release blows their 1st one right out of the water. Hot spooky carnival kei --- Kra - 次の物語 Hands down probably my favorite album of 2015. Kra never disappoints. For such an amazing album, the artwork is horrendously ugly. A hat on a white background? Same. --- L'Arc~en~Ciel - Wings Flap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- 凛 -the end of corruption world- - Memento-Mori UGHHH!HH!!!!!!!!!! --- the LOTUS - Providence of BIONIC This was one of my favorite surprises. I had no idea how often I'd listen to this. All 4 tracks are fucking bangin' --- Lycaon - Camera obscura FUCKING HOT --- My Fairytale - 鳥籠トロイメライ Kate's fucking voice tho... Sing me to sleep and trap me in a fucking birdcage made out of my dreams. --- Purple Stone - アオイヤミ THIS SONG IS FUCKIN POPPIN!!!!!!!!!!!! --- Rides in ReVellion - -CHAIN- --- 少年記 - 最果てのドール Kou my fucking queen never disappoints. --- Sick² - マーチング・アント This is so unbelievably catchy it should be illegal. --- TRA TRA TRA - 「所詮、女宿り」 WASURENAIDEEEEEEEE --- VANIRU - MASQUERADE OF COSMIC VANIRU puzzles me. They deliver this fantastic album and then their next 2 releases are subpar as fuck? Memory of Mayfly --- vistlip - LAYOUT My bbies. I was so blown away by REM SLEEP that I got goosebumps and started shaking. Spectacular!! --- FoLLoW - プラネタリウム OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD I CANT STOP AND WONT STOP LISTENING TO THIS ON REPEAT. --- Thanks for reading!!! 15 doombox, CAT5, Delkmiroph and 12 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted January 2, 2016 Cool to see VANIRU mentioned finally (even tho I was kinda disappointed with the actual content/production of the album). And now you reminded me that I totally forgot about Sick2's existence for the past year, lol. Gonna check out what they released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yakihiko 1480 Posted January 2, 2016 Really cool list, I have the 少年記 and anfiel's album on my PC, but I forgot to but on xD now I feel like I need to get it to my ears, now. Is super nice to see how much LAYOUT touched people, and REM SLEEP is such an extraordinary song that won me as best song this year. 2 Tetora and Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted January 2, 2016 YES! アンフィル, Dadaroma, Kra, My Fairytale, Purple Stone, and Vaniru were doing it for me this year too. Awesome list! 2 Tetora and Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sing me to sleep and trap me in a fucking birdcage made out of my dreams. 少年記 - 最果てのドール Kou my fucking queen never disappoints. YASSS, @Mi'ihen-core! GRIMOIRE is one of my favorite VK surprises this year. Glad to see a fellow fan! I agree about DIV's single; awful PV, but pretty great song! Not sure about the b-sides though... Shounenki is also growing on me! Can't deny Kou's vocals! I wanted to like Anfiel's album a lot more, because I loved their first single, but for some reason I can't get into their arrangements. They sound a bit too midi or something. Although, I recall the closing track being really nice! I don't know how you can say you're ass at writing when "Sing me to sleep and trap me in a fucking birdcage out of my dreams" is more accurate (and hilarious) than anything I ever wrote about them, haha. I swear, My Fairytale better return from their hiatus... Great list, bruh! 1 Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chi 2624 Posted January 4, 2016 That L'arc song is pretty good, isn't it? I don't really listen to them very often but when I was shown the PV i really liked the song! I've seen VANIRU everywhere so I feel like i should definitely check them out. Plus, VISTLIP love <3 Thanks for sharing your list!! 1 Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted January 5, 2016 DIV - イケナイKISS Lycaon - Camera obscura vistlip - LAYOUT I can vouch for these! And pshh, your writing is fun to read! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lestat 2167 Posted January 6, 2016 There are quite a lot of personal favourites on this list that I wouldn't have thought would have made it to other people's collections besides my very own. Those include (but are not limited to) 凛 -the end of corruption world-, VANIRU, My Fairytale and Rides In ReVellion. I do enjoy it when I see others who are not solely focusing on the heavy releases that came out in the last year, but seem to entertain a more subtle and clear sound. 1 Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
