radwimps doing the new theme for shinkais new movie

is this gonna be emo :O

Actually they're doing the entire soundtrack of the movie + the theme song, 20 tracks in total. I don't know if the soundtrack itself will just be instrumental though.

The Flickers are breaking up. Sad but hey, seems like they have creative differences, combined with the fact that they never managed to be that popular and there you go.

My first impression of Cosmic Explorer was pretty underwhelming, it's not like the songs are bad or anything, but the whole "album" feels incredible disjointed. The ups and downs are crazy, even if this was meant to be a compilation.

Hey!

Just thought I hadn't seen any of the "AKB good enough subs" videos in my subscriptions for a while and checked an old one from history and saw the account was removed for copyright. Found the new account.

they should really stop uploading the live performance clips, they're just asking to get copyright strikes. I just want my Sashikita clips... now that Paruru's show is over

e: lol Sakura is vicious

e2: oh, Sashikita is over now too

 

[Kurita]

My Hair is Bad joining EMI on May 11th with their 3rd single. They've been quite popular in the indie circuit so hopefully going major will give them a nice boost. So happy to hear that.

Just found out that The Flickers are breaking up



BRAKING MY HEART!

 

[Kurita]

Posted about like 6 messages earlier :lol Honestly I kinda felt like it would happen soon so heh, I'm not that surprised.
Haven't listened to their latest (well, last) album, I need to check it soon.

THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS also announced today that they'll stop their activities indefinitely since the vocalist is leaving the band. Sad day.

Not as painful as Galileo Galilei's dissolution though as far as sad music news in 2016 go.

Cosmic Explorer #1 on the charts... on their way to five consecutive #1 albums!

They picked a strategic release date :lol J Soul Brothers released something last week so that way they can beat it since it'll be in its second week. Next week Tokunaga Hideaki is releasing a best-of which will be big, too.

 

[Tain]

oh neat, this came in today

 

[vanty]

e2: oh, Sashikita is over now too

Hopefully it gets replaced by NeopiiBoss starring Yamada Noe and Tanaka Natsumi.

Hey Jpop-gaf,
So I've been pretty much only been listening to Perfume (jpop wise) for..probably the last 5 years. Recommend me something? Y'know, if you like Perfume then trrryy...?

I actually just started listening to galileo galilei cos of the Haikyuu end too so...

Any help?

I actually find Perfumes a great help on my depression/anxiety bouts so ..yeah, nothing dark and moody

 

[plasmawave]

If you like Perfume check out Capsule. Their early stuff is really jolly.

that was the first release of theirs that did much for me, they've come a long way.

Nice!
Just noticed that the French label who released the Campanella, Bis Kaidan and Passepied LPs recently released a vinyl LP of Hatsune Kaidan, including a cover version of Perfume's 'Electro World'(!). The artwork is a parody of that infamous Scorpions LP cover too, yikes.

Automatically superior to other Hijokaidan side projects with the lack of Junko's vocals, heh.

Yeah, capsule makes the most sense - the songs are written and produced by the same person yeah? Will give it a shot. Thanks!

yeah it's still a little weird having known about them since they were "Sakura Gakuin spinoff" to see them now

they worked their asses off though, good for them

Well she's a drummer

The Momose Momo track on the new Billie Idle ep is sooo good. The ep as a whole is way more interesting than the samey and boring new Maison Book Girl ep.

 

[stump sock]

The Momose Momo track on the new Billie Idle ep is sooo good.

it is but it almost sounds like she's singing against a karaoke backing track which is kind of funny. I really like that MBG EP, partially because I'm a nerd who likes weird time signatures and complex syncopation but even I'll agree that their next release better be something different.

Bed is pretty good though.

Bed is fantastic

 

[Larsa]

The repetitve and droning beat on the verse parts of lost AGE on the MBG ep drives me crazy. I kinda actively hate that song because of it. Bed is pretty good though.

Oh wow they made the Sun, good for them.

Take note Perfume's team, please? they should've had them on some late night show with a STORY-esque performance already.

Won't happen but Jools should do a Japanese music special just like The Tube did in the 80s: https://youtu.be/m8Tk03uT2MQ Probably the only time Togawa, YMO and Sandii have been on British TV.

I could see Tricot and Babymetal being on Jools actually, not Perfume though.
