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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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...
Click to expand...

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

EDIT: just listened to the new song. It's great!

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.

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.

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.

Random thought: would a JMusic LINE group be redundant?

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

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

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)

BiSHキャノンボール2016 Episode 1

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.

the short version is basically that. and yeah the Tentenko parts especially are pretty uncomfortable. Bebop is a sleazy dude.

I miss Hug Mii :(

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;
