I've gone to all of them since vol. 5 and it's become a bit of a tradition for my friends and I - especially because it's so cheap - but I'm not sure I'm feeling it this year.

I don't know if he still has the connection now that they're not on UK Project anymore. You can always suggest them whenever he makes one of those posts asking for input, though. 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably know better than me then, because I've never spoken to him. I'm just going from a vague memory of what I've read on the NMFT blog. He definitely mentioned them as an option, so I assume he likes them well enough, but the thing that makes me feel like he's not super into them is that he always seems to just kind of throw them in as a last resort. For example, he mentioned them as an option for NMFT 9: http://www.nextmusicfromtokyo.com/?p=6168, but it just seems like he was saying "Well, I can get them, but I'd rather have Ame no Parade, or any other band on this list" He brought Kinoko Teikoku, who were on the same label as THE NOVEMBERS at the time, so I don't think the label is the issue. He also wrote that he held two NMFT events in one year mainly so he could bring Maison Book Girl before their major debut, so I feel like if he really wanted to bring them he would make it happen, you know? Regardless, I think it's actually more fun if you don't know anything about the bands before you go, because the acts he brings are usually much better live than the recordings suggest. otori didn't sound like the type of thing I would be into at all from the samples on the website, but they killed it. 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
