I really like it. My favourite tracks so far are Michi and Boukyaku. Manatsu no Tooriame has grown on me too.

Happiness track killed me, the beat drop for the chorus damn
Happiness is part of E-girls, (the female ver of EXILE). There are dedicated dancers and then dedicated singers in the groups.

Gojira (BiS) interview. not super interesting, she seems really level-headed. Quit her job before the audition apparently to show her dedication. studied karate for 13 years. she is, however, adorable.

e: wait, did we know that Chelmico has an album coming out 10/19?

That's how it is with all the EXILE groups, where it is 1-2 vocalists and the rest being dancers. That's why they have such intricate choreograph because they can focus on dancing. The vocalists don't dance as much unless the song reaches the hook or an instrumental break between verses.
It's not a concept that I like all that much, but I've gotten used to it.
The LITE/mouse on the keys split is on Soundcloud: http://natalie.mu/music/news/203653
I really like the motk cover of Echolocation.

Speaking of LITE they have a new album coming on November 16
The French record label Specific who previously put out vinyl of Suiyobi No Campanella, Charisma.com, BishKaidan etc. have a new release and it's ... the Necronomidol LP?!?

I get why they chose the album, but I'd be much more interested in a vinyl copy of From Chaos Born.
there's a radio rip of the new Sakanaction song floating around and it's awesome.

Oh shit, Higashide Masahiro (hottest dude in Japan tbh) is starring in the new MOROHA music video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AanfKNatAqk
Pretty huge for this indie duo, dude is one of the most popular actors in Japan right now. Very happy for them. Masahiro is a big fan of these guys. He was in the popular variety show Shabekuri 007 a while ago, and he said he wanted to meet them. They came on the set and performed a song, he was moved to tears. That was a very touching thing to see.

Whatever happened to Natsume Mito? Wasn't she supposed to release an album?
Great news, I´ve been pathetically downloading their songs from soundcloud since I knew about them on the Lovely Summer-chan´s"Favorite", glad to be able to pay for their songs.
Her last single wasn't that long ago.
She's active doing live shows and on Music Town. No album was ever announced.--

They didn't lie when they said it was like a sequel to RPG. Great song and video.

I reserved my ticket for the VMO album release party, and then I got a couple tickets to the tricot, Pimp and "Soil" Sessions, and Polysics show that's on my birthday. Pretty excited for those!!!
She was interesting live.

The melody in the chorus is exactly the same as some idol song I don't remember the name of and it's going to bug me until I figure it out.

it's your fault i watched a sekai no owari video, so you're on my bad list for today
i don't know what song you're thinking of

That's probably one of the better songs Sekai no Owari has done, but still, they took a bunch of interesting instrumentation and turned it into overproduced, drowned out boredom. I'd take a voiceless and remastered version! The bridge was cool to see in a song for a band that's as popular as them.
I have unfair bias because my first band in Tokyo played a Sekai no Owari cover that I had to play lead guitar for.

I wonder if they'll release both an english and japanese album in 2017.

Gave a listen to the latest Sakanaction, dope song. The new album can't come soon enough, it'll be their best one, I can feel it.
中田ヤスタカ 「NANIMONO (feat. 米津玄師」MV Trailer
Nakata x Yonezu Kenshi isn't a collab I expected but at the same time I'm like "Of course!". Song is great, their styles go well together!
Speaking of Yonezu, his newest single is some good stuff. LOSER is a killer tune, ナンバーナイン a sweet midtempo song while Amen sounds like a track from Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak.

still feel like defending that greasy turtle-looking motherfucker?
FFS Enon.
And, as far as I understand, they suspended the release: http://natalie.mu/music/news/204133
I love his music but God why does he have to be like that ;-;

on the one hand, you're right. on the other, LOL Enon.

also it's more than drinking I guess.
From the way it's written it seems to me it was her fault, as in she went to "P" of her own volition, and met him there. Though, of course he didn't stop her. I don't know enough
but I think the living together thing is fine.
What boggles my mind is how the fuck not only he married, but got Becky and this girl to like him?

Well that puts to rest the idea that he hasn't had to face any consequences for his actions. Sucks for the other band members though. I'd like to see them continue without him honestly.
Rhymeberry - Bring It On Down
It's not quite Last Glasgow but they tried, and that's all I really need.
ONIGAWARA - Shutter Chance '93
They're evolving from city pop to Shibuya-kei.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPZuXWb_CyY
These new Angerme songs are great, maybe the best music to come from H!P all year. Meanwhile the new Juice=Juice just sort of awkwardly follows current pop trends.

bad chorus and unnecessary non-Miri vocals aside, this is great. Mochi works surprisingly well as "aloof weirdo who chips in occasionally"

Boy, me too. They deserve better.
It's weird to me how Japanese celebrity scandals always seem to be "oh my god an 18-year-old was caught DRINKING" or "holy shit that woman is HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH A MARRIED MAN" and meanwhile you have that bizarre end-of-BiS documentary people were talking about a few days ago where guys were trying to sleazeball the idols for literal points, and apparently that's cool.
