Pikarin as Pikachu is a goddamned nightmare
it's a fine album, just not as distinctly 'megumi wata' as the first one. the songs tend to melt into ambience rather than blossom whimsically which, again, is fine just not as original
also, the interludes worked way better in the debut album which felt conceptually 'complete'
it's the definition of a nebenwerk so i can't be too harsh on it
Fired up the proxy this morning to watch KANA-BOON's new PV as well as the album trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhzF3HYAzhc

Not easy to take the temperature with short extracts like that. The couple of new songs from the album we can hear (3 out of 8) in the trailer sound promising but haven't really caught my attention that much. But it was the same last year when ダイバー's 30sec version was released and it ended up being one of their best tracks so yeah, I'll just wait for the album! We'll see if they can top TIME (kinda expect it to be a TIME 1.5 though).

I just keep up with whatever Flau records puts out. Well them and Qrion cause of her collabs with Ryan Hemsworth in the past.
Put Boris at 90%, Merzbow at 60% volume. Actually quite good, which is surprising to me because I don't enjoy much of them when they're by themselves.
Well, actually, some time ago, after I discovered XINLISUPREME through I am not Shinzo Abe, I was curious to see what Noise was, so I decided to check Merzbow. I listened to Requiem (which later I found out is a cover), and i actually liked it. It has kinda the same noise "aesthetics" of XINLISUPREME's noise, and it has a structure. I listened to some other songs by he, but didn't like them as much. I imagine Noise in general is more like these, which don't have much of a structure. I whish it was more like XINLI tho, love the noise with structure and vocals.
And speaking of XINLISUPREME, I literally just checked them again and they just uploaded I am not Shinzo Abe (a new version) on a new channel. The Seaside Voice Guitar (with english lyrics) is still nowhere to be seen, and they're still missing from VB's Bandcamp.

wtf is up with this version. not a fan.
I halfway suspect that the only reason it's different is because they don't have the rights to the original version or something anymore, whatever fallout they had with Virgin Babylon
and yeah I thought Boris at 100, Merzbow at around 40 worked pretty well.
dammit why do these have to be blocked in the U.S. ;_;

I think Enon was on the cover of at least two magazines since the scandal, and these were both music magazines that didn't mention the scandal within their pages.
If you're in the US you'll be happy to hear that Suiyoubi no Campanella will perform at SXSW in March.

I kind of was? the time's about right for her or SR or both to put out new material.
I mean the song. I was expecting something like RADIO ONSEN EUTOPIA.

04 Limited Sazabys「midnight cruising」LIVE(2015.12.10@Zepp Nagoya)
The band will release their first live DVD on March 23rd. Already ordered MONOEYES and KEYTALK's DVDs also out next month so I'll have to wait a little bit before buying it.

Latest Maru Maru Baito with Paruru has some subs. They do a little comedy routine and she talks about seeing Star Wars.
Nothing special but it's alright

The thing with something like Live Aid is that in theory everyone at least cares about the reason for everyone getting together in a room and recording a song. What's the reason here, soft drinks? No one gives a shit and it shows.

Coke has definitely been on the forefront of "who gives a shit" songs recently
It's for the 5th anniversary of the label (and a bonus tie-up)
EMI Japan did something similar when one of their historic studios closed.

Dun dun dun, another one bites the dust!
Well, I hope plenty of American fans get the chance to send Kanon off at the concert later this month.

Why is 龍源一郎 listening to Momokuro? Is he known to be a fan or something?
stump sock
Member
two reasons, probably; Kawakami is a huge wrestling nerd and probably knows him that way. second, Tenryu seems to have at least a vague interest in idols. he was on Ebichu's variety show (Hinata is a huge fan), and he's definitely made the tv rounds in his post-retirement/tarento adventures lately.
Yoru no Honki Dance's major debut PV is finally here. I might be crazy but I think that they also filmed some Kamen Rider Gaim at the same location.

Soooo good. They're gonna be one of the big bands of 2016.

Interesting that her agency was the one that requested the contract cancellations. "We don't want your money, she has defiled our reputation!"
RIP her monthly music program that highlights lesser-known artists
