whoa, 絶叫する60度 (Screaming Sixties) actually put out a video

since probably nobody knows who they are, they're an idol group produced by punk band 6% Is Mine who you might have heard of.

what's not immediately obvious from the video is that they usually take to the stage in fetish gear and have a habit of going into the crowd and beating people up. if you get a cheki with Montero , something like this will probably happen

 

[Peru]

Woah

Crazy how legit big they got. Crazy how when I go to my local newsstand they're on two separate covers.

whaaaat.doubt it will sell out since it hold 50k+ people but still grats to them!

 

[MezzoForte]

Babymetal heil.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Never listened to Babymetal but impressive they're trying for Wembley arena, is their audience that big here?.

Why can't Perfume be doing this

 

[Kurita]

whaaaat.doubt it will sell out since it hold 50k+ people but still grats to them!

It's not the stadium, this venue is "only" 12.5k people.

 

[AdamT]

Why can't Perfume be doing this

Right?! I try and plug them as much as I can with friends and on other sites. Maybe they should do an Amuse tour to other countries with Babymetal, ONE OK ROCK, and Perfume together haha

Envy's latest album Atheist's cornea finally released on vinyl. Really nice blue-black coloring on the record. It sounds awesome.

Okay everyone, I need j-pop recommendations that'll cheer me up. Rough week! Perfume usually works, but I'm looking for something else.

Did you see my post about them from Rock in Japan? I don't know if you ever listened to American Metalcore, but there are maaannnnyyyy bands that sound exactly like them. That said, they were really fun live.

 

[stump sock]

my frame of reference for metalcore is stuff like Converge, Botch, Earth Crisis, etc, and I had forgotten what that term had turned into in the 2000s

...no thanks

 

[MezzoForte]

Japan had a nice little hardcore underground, but real metalcore, can't say I've heard it yet from Japan. It would be cool if there was a Japanese band that sounded like DEP on Calculating Infinity.

They are schedule to perform the same song next week on Music Station

 

[stump sock]

completely agree (only good DEP album as far as I'm concerned). primarily though Japan largely skipped over that and went with straight hardcore, crust/d-beat, and grindcore. which is still pretty ok by me. they're fucking good at it, anyway.

Nah, I don't know much about American music in general so this kind of sound is still new to my ears I guess. Plus they have some song where they sing in Japanese so that makes it more enjoyable than their overseas counterparts.

Latest tofubeats is quite nice, looking forward to his album.

easily the most commercial single they've released, even managed to de-squeakify Pinky
will be interesting to see if it brings in new fans while keeping the old ones.

I don't think it's too much of a departure from Kira Kira Tune or Lemon Iro, but I guess those were technically b-sides that happened to get videos.

but yeah I was thinking the same thing about Pinky

Spoiler

even though I kind of like her weird quacking voice

heck, I just like weird voices in general. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a huge part of the appeal of a lot of the j-music I listen to

there was a poll recently where people voted on the best singers in idol groups and Risa and Eitaso both ranked. actually, Eitaso higher than Risa, which surprised me.

A-chan and the 48g rankings seem artificially inflated (you can't tell me Takamina is the 5th best singer with a straight face), but as a whole it's a pretty good list.

 

[stump sock]

near 0% chance this movie will be any good (although hopefully better than the BiS movies) but I'm excited anyway

at the very least we get two new songs out of the deal

and the article does say that the dead girl is revived by a black metal band so there's that

It's different since there seems to be no part for shouting MIX's and it seems that it wasn't done with wotagei/MIX/calls in mind.

The song is great, but hopefully they don't make it a habit to omit fan interaction from their future songs. B-Side is bound to be more classic dempagumish upbeat song.

 

[stump sock]

I'm sure you'll still get the "MOOOO-GA MOOOO-GA" chants when she's failing at singing but yeah. the album version of Future Diver sounds weird after hearing it with fan interaction so many times.

Wait, you mean you don't do the chants by yourself while listening?

Seriously speaking, I'm sure there will be some part with fan interaction. It's just bad manners to yell over someone singing.
