Anyone else find covers of songs to be better than the original? Then again I might just have a thing for soft acoustics.

Nishino Kana - No. 1 - Cover by Kobasolo and Lefty Hand Cream

Most of the time I'd prefer the original but in some cases, like this one, the cover has a unique take that is more appealing.

That cover has 14 mil views now, but I'm surprised by the amount of English comments, especially considering the song is not anime related.

Mhmm, it was my first time hearing the song and when I looked up the original I was a little disappointed. The original is good imo but lacks the charm/appeal this cover did.

Anyways another cover I enjoyed more that the original but lacks the production values of the the other one I posted.

Nissy - Mada Kimi wa Shiranai MY PRETTIEST GIRL - Cover by Goose house
 
This is pretty cool.

TOKYO CULTURE STORY|今夜はブギー・バック(smooth rap) in 40 YEARS OF TOKYO FASHION & MUSIC

Includes a rare Jun Togawa appearance. I think this is the first time she's been on video since 2007? Also on Monday Vampillia are going to be on Dommune and she's going to phone in.

this is awesome. even has a mini-Supercar reunion. <3

hopefully I'm up early enough to catch Vampillia

Yeeeees, I saw that video too, I absolutely love it. As someone who loves music and fashion it's perfect lol And they took a dope song, it's from &#12473;&#12481;&#12515;&#12480;&#12521;&#12497;&#12540; and Kenji Ozawa originally. That cover is great stuff.

I've really been into LILI LIMIT lately, their first major album is coming out in 3 three days so I think I'll grab it. Excellent electro-pop rock band.

That's a really nice cover, but I still prefer the original a lot more because of Kana's voice

That cover has 14 mil views now, but I'm surprised by the amount of English comments, especially considering the song is not anime related.

It was the ending song for the live action 'Okitegami Kyouko no Bibouroku'

So I have three concerts I'm going to in November so far. VMO album release party, tricot/Polysics show, and now Nothing's Carved in Stone.

Been a while since I met up with the singer, but he put me on the guest list for another show soon :D He hangs out with one of my favorite bands, so I really hope he will introduce me some time.

Edit: Listening to the VMO album makes me even more excited for the album release party. Should be crazy.

Who was it that had some sweet side project? Somebody from Matryoshka? arai tasuku? &#22818;&#20013;&#22818;? I don't think it's magdala that I'm thinking of... Dammit. Who was it?

What is &#22818;&#20013;&#22818; even doing nowadays? I feel like I'm forgetting some important connection here.

Aaah I love MONOEYES's new single
The b-sides are freaking amazing. One is a very Ken Yokohama/Hi-STANDARD ish song while the other has that epic ELLEGARDEN sound they sometimes had. Great stuff. Can't wait for a new full album.
Hosomi is still the GOAT, I'll never be let down by this guy. Two months until their live show, yeeeeeees.

EDIT : oh Scott is actually the one who wrote the b-sides. Now it makes sense that he's the one singing.

LILI LIMIT's first full album is also pretty great, as expected.

The last bit of news from them was that they were recording demos for a new album in 2013. Their Twitter is still very active though.
