Tower Records is the shit. I can spend hours at Shibuya's store. It's a big store but it really feels "warm", I love that the staff takes time to write recommendations, do nice displays...
And you often get bonus stuff when you buy CDs!
Best news of the day, Frederic announced their second major mini-album, OWARASE NIGHT! May 6th, save the date.

ONE OK ROCK finally announced the release date of their new live DVD/BR, it'll be out on April 29.

Managed to watch the TV version and it was a preeetty epic show. Can't wait for the full version.

that's just the standard song and it's on both versions. I have the same version that was posted there and the track listing is
1. Good Bye, Good Girl
2. Hot Pants
3. Good Bye, Good Girl (pellycolo remix)
Hot Pants is kind of underwhelming.
e: now that I'm reading the back of the single, I guess GBGG wasn't actually self-produced, it was by "papico" with lyrics by Ten Tenko
That's on both versions, one CD has a remix of the Good Bye, Good Girl and the other has a Hot Pants remix.

Cool. I've been wanting to order it but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Just listening to it now, Hot Pants is indeed underwhelming as heck.
This is the pellycolo mix of Good Bye, Good Girl. I was trying to decide earlier if this was a legit video posted specifically to DailyMotion to play up its bootleg aesthetic, which would be kind of great.
tell yourself.

ゆるめるモ! have a new single coming out 3/25, 「Hamidasumo!」. No info on what's actually on it though.
They also have a live dvd coming out this upcoming week which is only about ￥2500, incredibly. cost me $28 after shipping to the US.
e: they just updated their website. 3 new songs, title track is by someone in POLYSICS, instrumental version, and a bonus track that corresponds with which member's cover you pick
also that live dvd has 28 songs...
The new Suiyoubi no Campanella video is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_gPdGgbrNg
Really good. Pretty different sound for them, or should I say her, as the usual producer isn't involved in this one. The song is produced by all the same people who do Wata Megumi's songs. The single is out April 15.

this is obscenely good. nearly unrecognizable though.
Kind of begs the question of what actually defines Suiyobi no Campanella? just KOM_I?
She's always said Hidefumi and Dir.f are members, and that she's the face of the group. But neither of them have credits on the song or MV so I dunno. Will be interesting to see who the other two songs are produced by.

くりたさん、かんそくさん、本当にありがとうございました!
From what you've shared, I like at least 3/4 of these and love about half of them. It looks like I've got some serious discographies to explore (not to mention a lot of money to blow next time I'm in Tower Records).
I also really enjoyed the album 大発見 by 東京事変 (Daihakken by Tokyo Jihen) though I heard they disbanded and I haven't checked out anything else of theirs yet.
A common theme I enjoy in several of the bands you two shared is the sort of blending and bleeding of genres. I love it when I can hear jazz, pop, metal, funk, punk, rap, classical or ska influences in an otherwise "rock" song
Seriously, you two just made my day, thank you

You're very welcome.
Out of curiosity, what did you enjoy the most?
That's going to take more than a single listen at work to determine
On first impression, I enjoyed these five the most (in no particular order):
Ellegarden
Alexandros
Hitorie
Gesu no Kiwami Otome
Tricot
Then I had a ten way tie for second, haha.
I'll need to hear more of everyone's work before I can form an honest opinion though. That'll take me a few weeks

Ellegarden is my favorite band ever so I'm glad you like them
It's the same vocalist as the HIATUS (Ellegarden have been inactive since 2008)stump sock

reading over some of the marketing materials is amusing. a low-carb, scented, "relaxation" beer aimed at women.

Sounds great. I've certainly heard good things about them before. I suspect I'll really enjoy them, so I'm excited.
I couldn't play Straightener or 9mm Parabellum Bullet (video was not available in my country) but I'll check them out on my own
That got a chuckle out of me too.

I am scared it might go down like GLITTER where the cm was aired and the single not announced until months after, hopefully it doesn't.

BiSH members revealed. The name stands for Brand new idol shit haha, album out May 27th.

BiSH unveiled their members. Clockwise from lower left: エンド、ユカコラブデラックス、セントチヒロ・チッチ、モモコグミカンパニー、ハグ・ミィ。
End(o?), Yukako Love Deluxe, Sentochihiro ・ Chitchi, Momoko Gumi (Gummy?) Company, Hug ・Mii.
First album 「Brand-new idol SHiT」out 5/27, produced by Matsukuma Kenta
...cautiously optimistic about this one. BiS were consistently awesome and the only thing different here is the girls themselves.
Momoko Gummy Company is some next-level dumbass idol naming
e: beaten to the punch but that's what I get for trying to decode that nightmare of katakana
chrominance
Member
Oh, that explains the Tokyo Recordings mention in the video description, maybe? Anyways, it's neat, if not what I normally expect from the band. Not nearly as distinctive as their usual stuff but I might like it more regardless? Not sure.
Yep.
Didn't like Suiyobi no Campanella that much at first but I think I'm getting used to the girl's voice, and I like the instrumentals a lot.
And they're friends with a lot of bands I love (like Kyuso Nekokami) so knowing that helps haha
Also... I'm a bit disturbed when I watched their videos cause she kinda looks like Kankaku Piero's vocalist.
Anyway, Uminote announced the release of a new full album in May! It's been two years since the last one so I'm preeeeeeetty hyped.
Their new picture is also pretty cool.
A couple of songs in case you don't know them.

Well.. I'm curious for sure, and I'll be paying attention, but 'more of the same' doesn't really work with BiS as a template - BiS constantly surprised us, from start to finish, in an increasingly diverse idol scene they still managed to take left turns all the way through to the end. That's part of the reason why it felt so poignant that they quit on top. If this stuff is just going to copy BiS then it's worthless.
