The Reverend 3566 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Nice thread! Geez, the 'scraps of Pierrot' bands have been around for a decade now!?! Shame Earl Grey didn't really do much, that look in the thumbnail is A+ Didn't know Sleep My Dear would've been 25... they should've done something for the reunion!

aetarna 69 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) If we want to include late October too, then 30 years ago, on 1986.10.21, Buck-Tick released their first single To-Search which later landed number 6 on the Japanese Indie Singles chart 12 minutes ago, The Reverend said: Geez, the 'scraps of Pierrot' bands have been around for a decade now!?! ...that shocked me too....

Pretsy 1343 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I remember enjoying Jessica hardcore when it came out during November (yup, still saying it - my first VK song) and sorta cringing when I heard "Cocoon" by Pierrot a bit later on (I think it was a november single too) - meh. Also, how can one dismiss these obvious new romantic Glay fanboys? (1996/11) also http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4104707 Penicillin! Lovely song too. edit: herpes likes gokusai?

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) That L'arc song is blocked in the US Found it live though. It's amazing that everyone, in the US at least, only knows them as the band that did the FMA opening and not when they were actually talented Edited November 17, 2016 by Peace Heavy mk II Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
