3776 did a live chat stream earlier. It's just Chiyono (and I assume Ishida off-screen) chatting and some b-roll, dance clips, old footage, etc. I wish I understood more of it because Chiyono's pretty funny.

CDJapan shipment came in!
New Especia: it feels like half of it is basically Amarga pt. 2, which is okay but not that exciting. The drum and bass vibe on Interstellar is nice, and the "after dark" versions of Boogie Aroma and Aviator are better than the originals, but otherwise this is kind of a mixed farewell to the band. I don't know what Haruka and Erika are going to do on their own, but right now I don't have high hopes for them recapturing that Gusto magic. Also: I think I was secretly holding out for a Maltine Girls Wave-level set from the remixes, but half of them are kind of bad. oh god what did they do to my precious Security Lucy.
New Charisma.com: HOT GODDAMNED FIRE. There have been better singles, but this is easily my favourite release of theirs. I know other people were complaining about the more poppy direction, but OLest actually sounds poppier and more straightforward to me.
Also finally got Capsule's CAPS LOCK because I'm now convinced it'll be their last interesting album, and everything from now on will just be tepid eurotrash EDM.

you can import any music into itunes, unless they've done some stupid changes since I used it last.
Matsui Jurina joined twitter
Not verified yet even though members you've never heard of get the tick within a couple hours of signing up. Maybe it's because her username has 38G instead of 48G ahah

New Moe and ghosts (with another group) album in april. Kinda thought they were dead since their previous album was in 2012.
Same here. This is from a new live EP out soon btw.

like the guitarist and vocals. has nice emo sound and feel=)
the drummer is skilled but a bit weak for this genre style. imo
So, the new ScenarioArt.
It's fairly different from their usual style. Tracks 3 and 4 are in the style of track 2 (that MV), track 5 is like a mix of new and old, and track 6 sounds a lot like Ame no Parade x ScenarioArt (the instrumentals sounds something straight out of New generations).
I'm not sure I like it, but man this band is all over the place.

Hanae album preview: https://youtu.be/XLwdyfKVAtg Some songs sound alright but going by this it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as her others.
Yeah, runner-ups for the CD Shop Award (won by Hoshino Gen). Not surprised, WANIMA and Suiyoubi no Campanella are the two biggest indie acts of 2015.
Their popularity shot up at the same time.
Full preview of SiM's new album, sounds pretty great

Best ELLEGARDEN album is either Pepperoni Quattro or Eleven Fire Crackers imo First one is one of the classic Japanese pop-punk albums while Eleven Fire Crackers was their most elaborate release, pretty close to what the HIATUS's first album ended up being actually.
As far as best album by an Hosomi band heeeeh, it's a tie between Pepperoni Quattro and Keeper of The Flame (the HIATUS's 4th album) for me.
i just have a preference for bring your boards sound, it sounded like my teenage years, But my top 3 are definitely bring your board, eleven fire crackers and as you said keeper of the flame by the hiatus.
my favorite tracks on eleven fire crackers are space sonic, アッシュ, marie, acropolis and alternative plans
actually fuck it i loved that whole album

i took a listen to a few tracks of the groups you mentioned (whatever's avail on youtube in US) pretty good stuff.
they need some killer drums though =P
Bought Yoru no Honki Dance's major debut album, it's soooooo good.

Plus, the drummer has a stache
Perfect album to listen to after a boring/tiring day of school. Just hit play and move your body. It's short, 10 songs, 36 minutes, the ideal length for an energetic album, it stops before becoming repetitive. Can't recommend these guys enough. Hope they'll become super popular, they have the skills and the style to.

rules, but the product placement/sponsorship is maybe getting a liiiiiittle too blatant for my tastes. which is a shame because the video is fantastic otherwise.

My friend saw 科楽特奏隊 live. Looks like a fun show. It reminds me of the kind of stuff The Aquabats do at concerts, and their shows are great fun.
This same friend is really into Japanese indie groups—so much so that he invited some of the bands he likes to play a concert with him and his band to celebrate his birthday, and they rented out a livehouse for the event. So cool. I've played at two livehouses in Shimokitazawa, but his event is way more impressive! haha.
Dope song
yes, awesome
Did they just rename everything from the Japanese name to WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA today? I guess that's their "let's sell music outside of Japan now" name? All the MV titles and everything have replaced 水曜日のカンパネラ with WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA . Being used for SXSW as well.

new Passcode album 5/25. sorry girls but moe and ghosts beat you to "CG spiky metal ball" art a couple years ago

the guy who puts on the underground idol streams in odd settings had one earlier today that I missed. at a survival game field, hah.

ft. Oyasumi Hologram, Avandoned, Maison Book Girl, Kuroneko no Yuuutsu, Electric Ribbon, etc
e: I've never heard of Eco Kaiju before but this performance is absolutely slaying me. this second song, fuck. cornball performance, solid music.
e2: not really feeling this steampunk group, but the girls are basically model-pretty. odd.
e3: Nayuta is missing from Avandoned, Beni singing her lines with her chain-smoker voice is cracking me up
e4: Eribon was unremarkable. Kuroneko no Yuuutsu spent half the set trying to crack each other up. 70% of the lyrics in Shounen A were changed to chants of CHINKO CHINKO CHINKO. I love these gals.
e5: Neutrino Onsen is a good name. One girl is wearing a mask, the other a panda puppet. no music is performed. I'm confused. also this is the shortest time period of "hidden face artist" to reveal in history?
e6: MBG still rule. new outfits are an improvement. Rin still looks like a rectangle. get that poor girl some clothes that fit. new song? good shit.
e7:
status quo at OyaHolo camp. new song still sounds great. lol @ calling Ogawa "DJ-sama" as he sprints off stage
e8: it's already been archived on certain sites, worth it
Yaaaaay, new Straightener album on May 18th, same day as ART-SCHOOL's and cinema staff's new albums, hype
The promo pic for their upcoming single is cool as fuck
EDIT :
Well, as far as Youtube is concerned it looks like they reverted back to the original name instead of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA

They also announced a pretty long tour so I absolutely need to go to one of their shows in September or November.

Not for me right now unless they did switch back and then quickly back again ahah.
