Cover art and tracklist for Frederic's first full album

M1. オンリーワンダー
M2. リリリピート
M3. レプリカパプリカ
M4. KITAKU BEATS
M5. サービスナーバス
M6. スピカの住み処
M7. バジルの宴
M8. ナイトステップ
M9. POOLSIDE DOG
M10. オドループ
M11. CYNICALTURE
M12. ふしだらフラミンゴ
M13. 音楽という名前の服
M14. オワラセナイト
M15. ハローグッバイ

They included the already two years old オドループ and オワラセナイト as well as ハローグッバイ from previous mini-albums. I guess they wanted this album to be like a good way to discover them so I understand. Still a lot of new songs so I'm ok with that.

DAOKO 『もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で』
ehhhhhh...

video's pretty dumb and the song's not as catchy as bang! but i'm digging it regardless. solid bridge.

 

[Kansoku]

DAOKO 『もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で』
ehhhhhh...

This sucks.
How can she go from ShibuyaK / さみしいかみさま to this?

 

[Rooster12]

Had no idea Daoko was that attractive.

Remember when she was an indie-rapper.....her best albums are still Gravity and DAOKO.

 

[llehuty]

Keyakizaka46 - Katarunara Miraiwo...
Safe but solid. I like this group's output.

They've had some alright b-sides even if they're not close to the a-sides https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zprAoJo4b00

DAOKO 『もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で』
ehhhhhh...

Pretty cool song. Not her best but still catchy.

 

[TGMIII]

DAOKO 『もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で』
ehhhhhh...

I wasn't as into ShibuyaK or Bang! as much as I was into her previous works but I can't get anything out of this one.

 

[daydream]

Pretty cool song. Not her best but still catchy.

glad i'm not the only one and can feel less crazy now

 

[Kurita]

glad i'm not the only one and can feel less crazy now

Why would you feel crazy for having your own opinion tho lol

New BUMP OF CHICKEN

[chrominance]

DAOKO 『もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で』
ehhhhhh...

I'm reserving judgement because I wasn't into Bang! at all until suddenly I was very into Bang! so maybe the same will happen here. The bridge is obviously the best part, though.

It does make me wonder if I should look into her pre-DAOKO stuff, though. Maybe worth giving Dimension a second shot (and Gravity a first?).

ONE OK ROCK to release a digital single on September 16th.

Here's 45 seconds from it : https://twitter.com/bakAeLZJHbOdtUg/status/774520505596456960
I really like it but yeah, if people didn't like the direction they took with 35xxxv then they won't come back lol Waiting for a full version but so far I'm pleased. Their previous digital single, Always coming back was also quite solid.

They also announced during their Nagisaen show today that their new album is coming next year.
This show looks pretty amazing. It's a two-day event with 50.000 people each day. Damn.

DEEP GIRL「Misery Business」Live Video

DEEP GIRL covered Paramore and I can't stop laughing

maybe they'll cover Marilyn Manson next since Mashilo loves them so much

 

[llehuty]

ShuuKaRen 『UNIVERSE』 【Beats by Dr.Dre「Show Your Color」CMソング】

There are some cool sections, but overall is missing some extra umph. In typical E-girls fashion, the dance breakdown is the highlight, but it's so damn short...

 

[Aizo]

What upcoming albums are you all most excited for? VMO's is probably what I'm looking forward to most right now.

This poster reminded me I haven't listened to Polysics in years, they were like the first Japanese band I got an album from

That seems like a good concert to go to on my birthday. I've been wanting to see Pimp play live.

for news, I just follow western blogggers such as Sparkplugged and MakeBelieve melodies for news. Oh and Spincoaster!

I just realized you said Sparkplugged. I write for them. haha

 

[Kurita]

04 Limited Sazabys (next week)
Aimer in two weeks (it will actually be my first album by her, thanks to the amazing collabs she got for this one)
androp, Frederic and My Hair is Bad next month
[Alexandros], RADWIMPS and Takahashi Yu in November

-----
Man, that Czecho No Republic concert was fucking amazing. It was their guys only show (they did girls only yesterday), so the members didn't hesitate to dive into the crowd. Setlist was on point. The guys talked about JAV when Takahashi was still in the dressing room to take a new outfit. Sunagawa was saying that picking up girls during Halloween was a bad idea cause you don't know what they really looked like... It's dumb but you know, in the context it was hilarious.
Definitely exceeded my expectations, I didn't know they were that funny and energetic during live shows. For the final song the guys took off their shirts, Takei said "it's weird that guys become so fired up when they take off their clothes" haha
Loved every second of this. Takahashi is too pure for this planet. What a beautiful and talented woman she is.

Oh hi, I'm on a pic from the show

 

[Kansoku]

Nice. Shiggy Jr. finally announced their first full length. http://natalie.mu/music/news/201459

What upcoming albums are you all most excited for? VMO's is probably what I'm looking forward to most right now.

I was really looking forward the new downy that came out this week, and it totally delivered.

Now the one I'm the most excited for is カラスは真っ白's 2nd full length, although I lost a bit of the excitement due to their latest MV. The new THE NOVEMBERS also comes out on the same day.

Speaking of that, they just put out another song from the album: https://soundcloud.com/the-novembers/beautiful-fire

 

[stump sock]

there's a whole string of singles scheduled that I'm interested in, but not a ton of albums that I know of. Which I guess puts VMO near the top by default. also whatever that BiS album ends up being, and Oyasumi Hologram have another one I think. Lovely Summer Chan in november.

 

[Aizo]

Did you guys already talk about the Downy guitarist, Aoki Yutaka, releasing a solo album with Virgin Babylon early next year? link to preview. What's also impressive is that he did the album art, which is beautiful and creepy. Natalie reported he has a colorful guest musician lineup, but no idea who yet.

Kurita, thanks for sharing about the show. I look forward to hearing about the next ones! Concerts are just about my favorite times I have in Japan, so I'm glad you're having so much fun!

I saw that yesterday. Sounded a lot like downy

Didn't know he did the art tho. Dude's talented.

Yeah this was a let down, I expected so much from more from it. Though tbh the song didn't sound special even in the first Beats CM so..

Flower is still delivering flawless lives and songs of course

I just saw that. Screaming internally like a crazy fangirl. 2016 best year ever.

Hype for new Gesu, but that single is quite boring.

Love the part that starts at 3:20, really nice song.
Dunno how Enon manages to release three full albums the same year haha And he seems to be thinking about releasing solo stuff apparently, he did a solo set at the Sweet Love Shower Festival and it was only new songs.

 

[stump sock]

it's only been like a week since Psybou Kanojo was declared officially dead, but Utena is already back (with Sari from Necronomidol). also, wow, this lineup.

happy 29th birthday to this beer-swilling, porn-loving, underwear-flashing, kojiharu-oshi'ing OL

here's something I wasn't expecting: Kuroneko no Yuuutsu are putting out a full album despite announcing their breakup like 3 months ago. I don't have a release date, but they're done on Oct. 23.

--

Karen's leaving NECRONOMIDOL. also, they're hiring.

 

[Kansoku]

Just realised that the new Gesu will drop on the same day as Negoto's new EP. Fantastic.

 

[Aizo]

Been wanting to see VMO play again, so maybe I should go to that show. I'm sure it'd be fun.

I should have read the location first. 心斎橋. Fuck.

Anybody know of weird shows around Halloween? I'm taking time off from work, because Halloween is my favorite holiday.

I'll let you know if I see anything. You'd think Vampillia would have something though, right?

 

[Aizo]

Random thought: would a JMusic LINE group be redundant?

I'll let you know if I see anything. You'd think Vampillia would have something though, right?

They might. I'll just go to the VMO release party on November 1st. Should be fucking insane.

I think if you'd told me two years ago that I'd be way more interested in new Negoto than Gesu, I'd have called you crazy. And yet, here we are.

(stupid Youtube region lock means I can't even see the EP teaser though)

Nicamoq did just announce that she'll quit being a DJ next month. Hopefully it's good news.

she also nuked a bunch of her old tweets recently so ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

anyway that single is in contention for most plays of any release this year for me, so I hope the announcement is "hey we're doing this full time now"

anyway billboard did a pretty extensive writeup/interview about the BiS audition, pretty good stuff. lots of pictures too.

Lute finally posted the first part of the BiSH Cannonball after teasing it like half a year ago.

Incidentally, I watched the full 5 hour BiS Cannonball a couple of days ago. That certainly was a thing. It mostly just made me uncomfortable, but there were parts of a good documentary about the last days of BiS buried in there.

Sooooooo good.

I bought their new album yesterday. To celebrate its release, they re-issued old goods and released new ones as well. Bought a shirt and a tote bag!

Excellent album, every pop-punk lover should give them a shot. They're the best right now.

Utada's Michi was played on the radio and is up on JPS. It's very Ultra Blue in a way. The beat is uplifting but I get the sense the lyrics are kind of sorrowful (which isn't all that unusual for Hikki).

I love BiS but I think that "unconfortable" is BiS´ second name. I remember the "BiS After All" documentary which gave me a difficult time. Someone from management harrassing the girls because the tour wasn´t going well, and Uika being restrained from attacking this management guy. Or when the girls complain about the constant recording of everything they do, even when they did not know they were filmed. I do think that TenTen or Uipon were really looking forward to the disbandment.


These girls are good;
