Mamo 1172 Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Even though "gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy" are a newer band I think it's already safe to say they're one of the greatest vk bands of all time. Even if they were to disband tomorrow my opinion wouldn't change. Because their exitisting work I think is already enough to make this judgement. And they're line-up is fucking legendary kazuma (Merry Go Round), aie (deadman, the god and death stars, the studs), kazu (蜉蝣, DIMMDIVISION., the god and death stars, STEREO.C.K), sakura (L'Arc~en~Ciel ). Nagoya gods I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Are they even in the discussion after only 2 albums, 1 single, And 2 V.A appearances making for only a total of 24 songs? IMO I really do think so.

evenor 1655 Posted November 30, 2017 The problem I have with gibkiyx3 is that their lineup is TOO GOOD. I like all their releases but I can't lie and say I don't wish they would create sounds similar to their respective bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Himeaimichu 1535 Posted November 30, 2017 I say they might as well be. Also they're like best buds with my favourite band, so I may be biased. 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I love the Nagoya sound in general because all of their ex. bands are some of my favorites as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ito 2438 Posted November 30, 2017 I wouldn't put them in them as the GOAT of the Nagoya Kei genre, I think that has to go to Deadman, but I do really enjoy Gibkiy. If anything, that award should just be given to aie. 4 zaa_zaa, Mamo, Jigsaw9 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted November 30, 2017 Aie is def. the real, true & undisputed nagoya kei KING. No contest whatsoever. (also remember when people thought Nagoya Kei = heavy & brutal back in the days? fuck that era) 10 Mamo, amemiya_takumi, Jigsaw9 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvltic 1482 Posted December 1, 2017 what about their stuff as highfashionparalyze? (it's the same fucking band idc what vkdb tells you ok) this project got much better when they balanced improv/compositions further towards compositions imo the nagoya kei true fan initiation is going to see gibkiy live and having kazuma blast all the microscopic hairs out of your ear canal by blowing a whistle at full force into the mic 4 emmny, Tokage, Mamo and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tanishi 598 Posted December 1, 2017 Yeah it's cool that a bunch of 40+ year old men can release music that sounds more inspired then 99% of what the new younger crowd can put out. Similar to how Swans 2010s output is better then pretty much all modern rock music despite the man behind it all being 60 years old. Gibkiy give me Swans vibes as well. 6 Tokage, lichtlune, emmny and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mamo 1172 Posted December 2, 2017 I think "とある澄んだ春の朝に" is literally one of the greatest nagoya kei songs ever. And honestly "In incontinence" is probably also one of the best nagoya albums ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madygrain 515 Posted December 2, 2017 I really want to like them but, honestly, I can't think of the vocals as something that's not just... bad. Maybe it's an style I just don't get. If so, I would love to read how others find them likeable. Because as they're now I find them absolutely unappealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted December 3, 2017 I think the members are legendary rather than the music they make. It's not bad but there's definitely Nagoya bands I prefer over them. deadman, lamiel, kuroyume, silver~rose and laputa to name a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotaruFilth 397 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) I think the key point of ggg is their lives. There are no other japanese bands with such a unique atmosphere. They started with improvisation in highfashionparalyze, having no distinct lyrics and performing just the way they feel on that day, and even though ggg now have fixed melodies and texts every new performance is still sooooo different. I think it's just the type of music you will get into bit by bit. You may feel weird in the beginning of the live if you see them for the first time, but in the end of performance all your feelings will be inside out. Maybe it's the reason they are often the last to perform at few bands events, because after their show it's really hard to switch and listen to someone else. Unfortunately, they are not selling too well, but i am happy they are not going to stray from the path and are still full of motivation and ideas to try. Definitely the best active band for me.

I'd also like to add to your thought, look at how different they're take on MUCC's song 溺れる魚 is just for example.

HotaruFilth 397 Posted December 3, 2017 Surely members have many other projects and sometimes I see jp fans saying "oh, ggg is just a weird hobby band", but for Kazuma-san it's actually his life. He is so dedicated and excited about everything ggg, about new concepts and things he wants to try during the next recording or lives. He says the key point is to make people feel something and even if it's "wtf!" or "that's too scary!" then it's just enough. He, who is actually the sweetest person in the world, says "standing on the stage you gotta be a monster and make people shiver, otherwise it doesn't make sense, so I am not going to do something more appealing". And other members are so supportive to let him try whatever he wants. They are so unique and inspiring, I am really happy gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy happened to the Japanese music scene. 7 1 evenor, Anne Claire, hotcocoa and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
