Would see: plenty, miwa, BRADIO
Maybe: SCANDAL, BIGMAMA, [Alexandros], 夜の本気ダンス

IMO, day 2 > day 4 > day 1 > day 3.

You'll Melt More! - 夢なんて MV

Underwhelming tbh.

Beaten again.

I like the song okay and it fits in with a number of their other songs but it's one of the least interesting singles and videos they've done in ages. I like that the members on hiatus came back for the song and video though.

Looking forward to the rest of the ep though. Half the time their b-sides are the best anyway.

Speaking of Hashida Kazuma though, I was watching the izukoneko DVD yesterday (finally) and he was part of the live band. Dude loves his idols I guess :)

A couple new things from Base Ball Bear today.

「それって、for 誰？」part.1　（ミュージックビデオShort Ver.）
https://youtu.be/5Ovg2ntmOvw
Its an excerpt from the new PV and a different minute and a half of the song than released before. This time it has the guitar solo too.

They also have a livestream starting about 19 hours from this post.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv229487629

Im not really sure what it is exactly but is but it seems to be 24 hours. I remember back in 2011 watching a lot of their 25 hour livestream for their 10th anniversary. This one should have some nice stuff too leading up to the 3 new singles.

Sekai no Owari is releasing a Double A-Side single on September 25th.
S.O.S is the theme for Attack on Titan: End of the World and Promise is the song they did for NHK.

Also included will be acoustic versions of Snow Magic Fantasy and Pierrot

Hope it'll be as good as the new one.
The b-side is great, too. Sounds like a track from the album ENTERTAINMENT.

Nothing's Carved In Stone「Out of Control (Live from Monthly Live at QUATTRO Vol.2 "感触" 2015.04.08)」
Hyped for the live album <3

Dunno if this already got covered in this thread, but it turns out Passepied's last album got released on vinyl by a label from France. There's three copies left on Bandcamp. CDJapan happens to have some copies too, possibly other Japanese stores, but it'll probably be cheaper for most people through Bandcamp (plus you get immediate FLAC/MP3/whatever downloads, I <3 Bandcamp).

If vinyl's not your thing, it's also a convenient way to buy the album digitally, so that's cool too.

EDIT: Also the first Charisma.com album. Weird. Or hell, here's their full catalog, you guys probably have a better idea of what's relevant than I do!

New video for &#26241;&#12494;&#31992; by Wagakki Band. Aka that band that makes me want to play Samurai Warriors. Don't really follow them and I haven't watched any videos of theirs since Ikusa earlier this year, so it was nice to see something new.

Edit: Shot in the dark... anyone watch J-dramas? I finally finished Season 2 of Mozu and have to say the soundtrack is pretty good. Some of the ambient tracks are downright spooky. Plus, Yoko Maki.

I'll at least watch whatever Sakamoto Yuji puts out each year. Whether it's good or bad ...

Have you seen Double Face? Infernal Affairs remake/adaption from basically the same team as Mozu. It's damn good.

I finished Mondai no Aru Restaurant on Monday. It was the perfect balance of cheese and drama. I felt the same way about Sakou No Rikon. Although that one was a bit more drama heavy. The special felt like 30mins straight of tears.

No, sadly! I missed quite a bit from 2012. I enjoyed the Infernal Affairs trilogy, so I must check this out.

Haha. I freaking love Saikou No Rikon and its OST. I stole the name of one of their cats for my GAF and PSN username haha.

Yeah, do give Double Face a go. Only 2 parts :)

You must! The ending is really sweet.

Also, it looks like the new Perfume single is called Star Train and releases alongside the World Tour 3 Document.

I just got back from Rock in Japan. Holy shit. What a day. I'm beat. I'll post about it tomorrow, but really great show. My one regret is that my friend was too tired to stay for Alexandros. Laaaaame.

Some small notes... Shiina Ringo played my favorite song, &#27578;&#12375;&#23627;&#21361;&#27231;&#19968;&#39658;, but without Soil and Pimp :( Also, she ripped off her dress during the last song.

indigo la End played a new song, and it was radical.

Perfume are like androids on stage. Also, they love Thai Ramen and Okkusenman, apparently. They wouldn't shut up about the Thai Ramen that used to be at Rock in Japan two years ago. They even made up a chant for the audience about it.
