Kouteka2's Lala is today's Daily LoGiRL, looking cute

is it too early to predict Paruru the senbatsu winner? I really can't see anyone else taking it

Bingo! Tokyo Jihen. Unfortunately that video is blocked in the US
Are there any good shows I should be looking out for in Tokyo around April 28-May 10? I don't know how popular Tofubeats is on this thread but I really like him. My buddy and I might go catch him when we get in but we were looking for more of a rock show.
Granted, the last time I ever listened to J-Rock was Asian Kung Fu Generation (Are they still a thing?) and the Pillows... Recently heard of Tricot as well.

oh jeez, that sounds miles and miles better than that last song they put out. not sure what they were thinking making that their lead single.
Dayum at Hello Sleepwalkers's new album, it's goooooooooooooooooood. Didn't expect much from it but I love every second of it.

A TRACK-BY-TRACK GUIDE TO THE NEW BABYMETAL ALBUM
high quality writing here. apparently some tracks are fast, except the ones that aren't. some songs are loud, but have quiet parts. some are quiet with loud parts.
I was at least hoping for a writing credit breakdown but I guess I hope too hard

Gotta ride on the Hoshino Gen wave
I'm not the only who thought about that apparently given the thumbs up I got!
That being said the whole album sounds great.

Sounds like a nice album. I will try to pick it up soon! Part of that preview was awkward to watch at work...

ヒラノノゾミ from BILLIE IDLE® - "どうせ消えてしまう命なら..." feat. ファーストサマーウイカ、カミヤサキ、テンテンコ、ミチバヤシリオ
kind of funny they started off with Nozoshan's track. I wonder if they'll do videos for all four members? Mitchel <3. actually the whole video is pretty cute, tugging at my BiS heartstrings... :')
is this the first music thing Mitchel's done since leaving? Also I have to revise my predictions for best track on this EP, I wasn't expecting Non to bring in a bunch of ringers.

hah
and welcome to the club, Jintor. I've given myself too many headaches hunched over a magazine, scribbling kanji into my phone
awesome
e: lol @ having a conversation with Nana
Oh god Mitchel and Tenten and Uipon and Saki as well <3 <3 <3
Also I have weakness for those melancholic piano-led rockers BiS used to do like Hide Out Cut and Odd Future so this song is really making me wish BiS were still together and hitting me right in dem feels ;_;

Thanks for the recommendations...now if only most of those videos weren't blocked in my country >.>
i finally came to the realisation there's no point where i'm magically going to be able to read articles... i've got to go out and target them
though i should probably be trying to cram n3 vocab but also like i don't remember any of it without context, so meh

crappy situation all around. I kind of feel bad for them because they're seeing some real garbage parts of America, lol. I considered going to the Baltimore show, but it's at a dump dive bar above a korean market in a crappy part of town (tbf, all of baltimore is a crappy part of town)
it's kind of funny if you're a punk band or something but I feel bad for the girls
also here's an actual google street view capture down the street from the venue. :\

Nah, she made it. Are you going to her final show in Richmond stump sock? Be sure to give her a good send-off on my behalf too.

that's good. she must have traveled separately or the other members are avoiding her or some combination of the two. yeah, the Richmond show. I assume Hijokaidan are the headliners so it's going to be a late night. just realized that's the Trash-Up!! lady there too. maybe I can snag some merch at reasonable prices.
I'm guessing I missed the performance part on account of being asleep :\
Good to know Nayuta's there and that I can indeed read.
They're performing now, not sure if they played anything before I posted the link.

the extended 10 minute laptop improv half-spoken word nonsense (incl. something about twitter?), Pika walking around playing with stuffed animals, etc. they looked like they were having fun, which you don't really see from a lot of reunions. and then they pulled out the real instruments just long enough for Oni to hand the guitar to an audience member.
Oh right, I missed the stuffed animals, saw most of it though.

Koutei Camera Girl 2 instrumental demo
KCG2 have a new member btw.
Saw tricot last night in Berlin and they are a-mazing. I had so much fun. They are really awesome live. They played in a really crappy venue, but the stage was like 50cm high and I stood right in front of it. ヒロヒロ was literally right in my face lol
ヒロヒロ and イッキュウ came out again after almost everybody left, so I talked a tiny bit with them, bought 2 shirts, got the signature of both and a picture with them :3
This was way better than Kyary's show in Cologne two years ago.
I became a big fan after only knowing them for a few weeks now.

please be on the noisy side... they have a lot of potential. their sister group isn't half bad either
is the new Kouteka2 girl Warme or did they pick up another one too?
Philly.
e: goes to Philadelphia, eats miso soup and a banana
e2: okay, now they're getting pizza, that's better
I hope so too, I love ShitEndプラシーボ but the rest of the album was a bit underwhelming. Yeah, their sister group are good as well.

I like the dresses. that's pretty much the best thing I can say about that.
That FLASH PV reminds me of Sweet Refrain in that it is technically very impressive, but visually underwhelming.
I guess that's what we get for a single right before an album.

Namie's doing the NHK theme song for the '16 Rio Olympics, Hero. Sounds like another Contrail-style anthem pop song. Stoked for new Namie.
