Every year since the 2011 tragedy in Japan RADWIMPS release a song on 3.11. Sweet and emotional song as usual.

Despite how much I like the new KOTO I can't shake the feeling I'd like it even more if it was Recoride performing it...
^ yeah I was listening to Platonic Planet earlier today and all I could think was I would rather just listen to Recoride. So I ended up listening to a bunch of Recoride, which was a good reminder of how fun they are. Tatta's slighly unhinged vocals are so much more interesting to me.
Going back to it now, I kinda feel guilty for leaving FRESHLESS of my 2015 top 10 list.

Top favourites would be; Namie, Perfume, Itano Tomomi, WEAVER, Kana Nishino (she's on thin ice), Flower, NANAKA
Tbh, they've all either just released something or have announced an upcoming release. I think reading all the news in the thread just leaves me wanting something new asap.
See, I'm liking the instrumental but the off beat(?) singing puts me off a bit.
Yoshiki is doing a reddit AMA at 19:40 UTC Sunday. Hopefully he doesn't just use it to promote the X Japan movie and we get some interesting stuff.

OP is back!
haha, i think i hear that every time i come here
it makes me sad that ayu has become so irrelevant
finding her in 2003 was a game changer for me
but i guess her strange lifestyle didnt help either
all these random marriages with random foreigners haha
Yeeeees, even the longest track Dance in the rain is dancey as hell

My favorite new discovery recently has been Hana Tsuruuchi, who released the single I You Any this week. The obvious comparison I think most people would make would be Seiko Oomori, almost to the point that some might accuse her of being a rip-off, except it turns out that Hana has been doing this sort of thing years longer than Seiko has, plus after looking at a live performance I think a closer comparison would be Akiko Yano. The three songs on her new single are actually a few years old, but they've been given new and improved arrangements by Jiro Sasaki aka teoremaa, best known as Avandoned's music producer. It also turns out that she's written at least one yet-to-be-released song for them too. Other acts she's composed for include Hauptharmonie, ex-SDN48 member Chaki, and JAV idol group Marshmallow 3D. I need to track down her old albums now.
Also, people should check out Utae's debut mini album. It is very good.

^ that's some good shit.
mostly I've been digging through live videos of Kuroneko no Yuuutsu because I'm mildly obsessed with them right now
someone uploaded their set from that niconico stream
I'd be surprised if they aren't just drunk all the time.
here's Oyasumi Hologram's set

I have a lot of respect for acts like Kuroneko no Yuutsu who produce all their own music but decide to forego the higher respectability of being a band and just be idols instead. But I guess that way they don't have to lug amps around either.

the kind of weird indictment about the scene there is that they'll actually get more exposure doing it as idols than performing live music. plus it's just Kuriko who does the music so it'd be pretty funny if she was behind a desk or holding a guitar while Sayunashi flailed around onstage. but this way they get to komanechi their way through the songs, which is great in it's own right
but yeah mad respect to the DYI goofballs out there
and I like the trend of producers like Ogawa and Sasaki Kissa being onstage with their acts, makes it seem a little more lively

as I was scrolling past, I thought these Aira Mitsuki covers were pretty cool, and then I actually looked at them for real
Saoriiiii「チャップリン・オーケストラ」
Every song on the mini sounds good apart from this one so of course she made a video for it.

haha what
are the rest of the songs electropop at least? at this rate, Aira's comeback is going to be rap or something

it's sounds nice.... but maybe i'm a bit shallow w/ my tastes. if it's bright sounding, i tend to like it.

it's inoffensive, but it's a far cry from what one would expect from Saori, and not necessarily in the right direction. this is what she used to sound like, before the hiatus. I mean it's a little dated sounding now, but that's the kind of stuff I was expecting.
ok phew

yeah, i was listening to those previews before and was about to link it but the date was January old so i figured it was in here somewhere. so that's her normal sound? it's good.
Not yet. She's doing the theme songs for two shows that air on April 4th though, there should be an album announcement any day now.
What a great day for fans of the telephones.
We finally got details about Nobu and Akira's new band. The name is lovefilm. No album or single announced yet but they'll perform at this year's Metrock and unveiled their artist picture.
Meanwhile, the bassist Ryouhei announced the creation of the band フレンズ (Friends).
Okamoto Emi（Vocals from 科楽特奏隊、ex.THEラブ人間）
Hirose Hirose（Vocals and Keyboard from nicoten）
Miura Tarou（Guitar and Chorus, ex.HOLIDAYS OF SEVENTEEN）
Nagashima Ryouhei（Bass from the telephones）
Sekiguchi Louie（Drums, ex.The Mirraz）
Some songs are already on Soundcloud. Poppy/funky music lovers will dig it.

Their first show was today and according to live reports their sound ranges from rock'n'roll to guitar pop, melocore-ish and shoegaze. Looking forward to a release.

Thanks to reddit, today I discovered ゆだち. Sounds like slow THE NOVEMBERS with female vocals.
Sounds promising.

Oh, shit. Did stump sock get perma-banned? I've never seen him banned before, so that's surprising. What did he do?
wait what??????

I don't think it's a perma, at least I hope not
The only thing I saw in his post history that might be close is this one, but even then it's not much.

The 'disappearing avatar' permaban thing is just a myth, thankfully. I doubt Stump's gonna be out of the game for too long. If I were to take a guess, it'd be for this post, which would classify under 'thread whining'.

Huh. I don't see why that really deserved a ban, but dang.
Oh, good! I was sad there for a moment!
Awesome, Dali is such a hot beat! Very curious to hear what else they have.

i like 'em =)
i guess it functions more like temp mute/cool down button. it's strange... i see this happen for many various reasons. i'm wondering if it's just normal practice on here.
i just stay in retroGAF mostly and peek in here a bit.
New Sakanaction live Blu-ray/DVD out May 25th http://natalie.mu/music/news/179872
Nice! Really looking forward to it. All their live releases are fucking fantastic, especially their last few.

Everybody owes it to themselves to check out the FOGPAK compilations. They have been going for a few years now. They are collections of amazing electronic music from (mostly) japanese producers. The 15th one just released with the theme of "Games". They are also free!
