[Aizo]

Oh, I actually have liked them for years! I didn't see they were playing. Thanks!

 

[stump sock]

I'd probably just try to go see zenbu kimi no sei da because I'm lame

 

[Aizo]

I kinda wanna see 夏の魔物, Hyadain's group, because they are silly and pro wrestling is one of their gimmicks haha. They play at the same time as exist trace, though...

 

[stump sock]

I guess they have kind of turned into "Hyadain's group" haven't they. To me they're more "goddammit, this is what Mizuta Mari spends her time on these days"

Meanwhile, the music video for it is still hot

Guess no one in Japan will beat that this year lol

 

[stump sock]

I got a twitter alert for this for some reason, so someone here is probably interested. Hashimoto is the center for the new Nogizaka46 single.

the actually important news is Takayama being in the front row, of course.

Listening to Fantome today for the first time. Michi and Nijikan Dake no Vacance are so fucking good. I have no interest in any of the other songs. I just want to listen to these two for hours at a time.

The whole album is great.

I'm so into Goose house right now; just bought their compilation album. Too bad there's no youtube videos up for the actual songs however, just previews on amazon and whatnot.

Kouhei from 04 Limited Sazabys being randomly interviewed by a variety show LMAO. It was about a dentist singing for to his patients or something, I guess he just happened to be there.

"Watching &#26376;&#26332;&#12363;&#12425;&#22812;&#12405;&#12363;&#12375;, a member of 04 Limited Sazabys, who will soon play at the Budokan, and perform with the legendary Hi-STANDARD, was on screen as a regular dude."

Reminds me of Ace, a somewhat popular rapper right now, who appeared on &#23478;&#12289;&#12388;&#12356;&#12390;&#34892;&#12387;&#12390;&#12452;&#12452;&#12391;&#12377;&#12363;&#65311;

Namie Amuro - Dear Diary short MV

It's beautiful, I thought the whole beach was CGI but it's an actual location where they used drones to film. I'm really hoping she delivers with the Fighter PV too.

My Hair is Bad - &#38899;&#27005;&#23478;&#12395;&#12394;&#12426;&#12383;&#12367;&#12390;

Speaking of My Hair is Bad, I bought their newest album. Welp, it's fantastic. Exactly what I want from a band like this. Fast-paced songs as well as more emotional ones. Sounds like a prime ELLEGARDEN album tbh. Really really good stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR0KgP7OrSw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KVdWZyM6EU

Also bought &#12501;&#12524;&#12487;&#12522;&#12483;&#12463;'s first full album. 15 songs, definitely a good way to discover them cause it has a few old songs on it too. Some fresh ideas on it, I really like all the trumpets, saxophones... etc they included this time. Definitely fits their psychedelic and funky universe. Highly recommend it.

seriously besides buying cds off amazon jp and waiting two weeks for them to arrive and pay an extra 4000y on top of that what's the best way for me to buy digital music from outside of japan/us

really like this new Billie Idle song, wish more of their stuff sounded like this.

yeah I feel like they have the potential to be one of the best WACK acts but their output is so inconsistent. good song though.

Song is dope. It's the first time they do a "serious" PV, but it ends up feeling like a parody of every emotional/not weird music video ever because it's them lol
That's the point I guess haha

Billie Idle
have

songs.

Best of the post-BiS groups tbh.

 

[stump sock]

notice how you posted all the singles/ones that got videos

the albums are nowhere near as consistent

e: and as much as this kind of pains me to say, when it comes to sheer volume of good songs, BiSH might be in the lead, even if they've basically brute-forced their way into that position.

 

[Peru]

Albums are dead!

Seriously though you don't really need good albums if you deliver on every single.

 

[stump sock]

oh god, what has kpop done to you

I'm so sorry

 

[Kurita]

Having good singles doesn't mean much if your albums are mediocre

 

[Peru]

Depends. Not all artists are the same, and shouldn't be. Some work magic as singles artists, exist for the thrill of the three minute pop explosion, others come into their own on long plays.

Totally agree, their setlist at Music Circus was great, a three-minute pop-punk-new wave-hit after another (and they left out Be-bop... or Humanoid). And their albums are not so bad, I loved the first one, from the Matsukuma formula. The second was a bit of a letdown with at least four of five good singles. And I loved the EP. This new song is good, but the budget for this MV marks a new low on their career of low budget videos.

This Ichigo Aoba MV is gorgeous. Reminds me of early Nobuhiko Obayashi films.

This is BEAUTIFUL, thank you.

 

[stump sock]

they keep blowing their budgets on pairs of mom jeans.

Be-Bop Tu-Tu looks downright professional by comparison

 

[broz0rs]

I think it's different for pop and idol acts because they focus a lot more on dance performance. There's really no point in having so many b-sides when the act will need choreography for it and will rarely get seen. This is also why I believe it takes so long for pop groups to have major concerts unlike bands that can start touring right away after an album or so. I think Johnnys are the only J-pop acts that have full albums, but then again everything Johnnys does is archaic as fuck anyway.

As a followup to this she's graduating in Feb 2017 and sounds like she's quitting the industry.
Is this the first major Nogizaka46 graduation, can't remember one before?

 

[Aizo]

Fuck that. Soil and Pimp Sessions canceled their appearance at the show with tricot on my birthday. That's never happened to a show I was going to before. Big part of the reason why I bought the tickets :/
I still love tricot and Polysics, but it was such an amazing lineup before. I don't know scenario art nearly as well.

You probably know, and that was just a typo, but her name is Ichiko.
She's wonderful. I saw her play a small show with a Taiwanese folk artist recently. She signed my CD with a cute drawing

Maimai was probably the first major one. also apparently they've had 3 people named Seira graduate...

by quitting the industry does that mean she's not acting anymore either? that'd be too bad.

Ah yeh forgot about Mai already lol.
Hashimoto could have a decent acting career but apparently she has some serious health problems which won't get better any time soon, poor girl.

 

[vincenzogrubb]

I think Billie Idle's albums are generally pretty solid. Some of their best songs are album tracks.

Ugh.. Now I feel bad for wondering why she seems like a low energy robot model. She only seemed enthusiastic when she's talking about baseball. I wish she can have a full recovery.
