Chi 2624 Posted December 31, 2015 ^Oh wow, thanks for posting those! <3 Cool to see them doing DNA desu and Ai no meiwaku in the second one. The sassy hand gestures always make me smile. I will wait till someone uploads this year's COUNTDOWN JAPAN in a smaller size and will upload Frederic's part (and some other bands) they sang Hello Goodbye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted January 12, 2016 The new EVERLONG song is so cute <3 Really happy to see them starting to find their style. There's just such a sweet, playful feel to everything they release. I will wait till someone uploads this year's COUNTDOWN JAPAN in a smaller size and will upload Frederic's part (and some other bands) they sang Hello Goodbye Cool, I really like Hello Goodbye. I downloaded the small version of CDJ from 2014 last year and the video was crystal clear, but the sound was really bad. Haven't had the heart to download a big file like that since.

Original Saku 1593 Posted January 26, 2016 recently discovered this band and I'm really digging them atm they just released their 2nd mini album last week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amoz 34 Posted January 26, 2016 ^ It was actually released November 30th. Tho that was only from their site and lives. The release last week was web release of it. And Vertigo hasn't been on a release yet, so there might be new EP or album soon. 1 Original Saku reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enyx 903 Posted January 26, 2016 New 雨のパレード is pretty nice. I tend to find this band rather "meh" overall but they have some solid tracks here and there. This is probably my favourite song by them since ペトリコール. Hopefully the b sides are good too. 2 saishuu and CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted January 26, 2016 ^ I came here just to post this! I'm so infatuated by this song and video. Never thought their vocalist could be this charismatic on video, heh. I can get behind them sounding like this as a major band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted January 26, 2016 Have they gone major now? Kohei's vocals are great btw. I really like the chorus on this song, but the music is perhaps just a bit too subtle for my tastes. Good stuff either way, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chi 2624 Posted January 26, 2016 Yes, this will be their last release under Zankyo i think.. and then they will release their album in march i like the music video itself. kohei is indeed very charismatic there. one of the main reasons i fell for ame no parade when i watched 揺らぎ巡る君の中のそれ for the first time was because of his expressions on camera. but now he looks less awkward. lolz unfortunately i didnt like the new song very much. 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted January 26, 2016 oh wow, I see. Can't say that I'm surprised with them going major, as they've always been pretty pop in sound. I just hope they don't become your average, nondescript major label pop band. If anything, I just hope they get better because I think they've got all the right ingredients.

saishuu 3220 Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, they've been hyping their major debut on their Facebook page for a while now. I agree they have all the right ingredients to do well in some sort of mainstream alternative pop niche, which is why I'm not too worried yet. Most of the time I'm actually a fan of the subtlety of the pop elements in their songs (which were so prominent in this new track), but I wouldn't be exactly mad if they stopped doing those under a major contract.

saishuu 3220 Posted January 27, 2016 ohhh, this new Grape is lovely might be one of my favorite songs from them in quite a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted January 28, 2016 A bit sad to see how this band has dwindled from a 4 piece in 2007, to a trio in recent years, and now they're just a duo since a year or two ago. Just the bassist/keyboardist, and the guitarist/vocalist (who seems to be filling in for their lack of a drummer as well): The recorded "camel walk" they did in 2012: and a random favorite from their early days: I'm glad that they're still active, though. They've always been one of my favorite underground discoveries. Hopefully they'll get more members again and keep moving forward. 1 Original Saku reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitegrey 115 Posted January 31, 2016 POP CHOCOLAT - two way It's from earlier this month but somehow I've missed the news... Really love this band - even seen them live back in 2008 in Tokyo. They are around for quite some time now - one of my 'secret-love-things' when it comes to girl-driven indie stuff to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted February 5, 2016 I know many here weren't too excited about their first release, but it looks like そこに鳴る (sokoninaru) is releasing a second mini, YAMINABE. エメラルドグリーン (emerald green) 1 colorful人生 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted February 5, 2016 I know many here weren't too excited about their first release, but it looks like そこに鳴る (sokoninaru) is releasing a second mini, YAMINABE. エメラルドグリーン (emerald green) I think they'd work better as an instrumental band Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colorful人生 2777 Posted February 5, 2016 I know many here weren't too excited about their first release, but it looks like そこに鳴る (sokoninaru) is releasing a second mini, YAMINABE. エメラルドグリーン (emerald green) That actually sounds quite nice. I went ahead and listened to "pirorhythm stabilizer 〜only your world〜" (prev. release you mentioned) and actually ended up liking that too. (the high drum vol. audio distortion was a bit jarring to the ears at high volume, but that was only a brief 3 sec. insert at the beginning) To provide something of my own, Egw Eimi released a new MV two months ago. I bought their Palette - EP early last year after finding them on one of my Audioleaf binges. 1 fitear1590 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chi 2624 Posted February 5, 2016 another MV from koochewsen's new EP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colorful人生 2777 Posted February 14, 2016 Quint just uploaded their MV for Moratorium -モラトリアム -, off of their first mini-album. Kinda irksome that it was only sold in one store in Shinjuku as a limited release. Hopefully they do an official release and/or put it on itunes/indiesmusic. I like the projection lighting they do at the latter end of the MV. Reminds me of the shikisai puzzle - shikijitsu MV a bit. 1 TheStoic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted February 23, 2016 sokoninaru just released a new trailer for their upcoming mini album. I was actually vaguely hopeful for this, but listening to these samples, it sounds like it's more of the same lukewarm ling/9mm hybrid pop-rock - Which is fine if you're into that, but I can't seem to get behind these guys.
