Did you see her last year when she performed at the Japan Expo in Paris? They even had Momoclo there last year.

Speaking of Kyary, her Kohaku outfit lived up to her promise
Guess she didn't learn from Koda Kumi when she tried to do a quick costume change with sleeves :lol
I did not see her since I was not a big fan at the time.
I saw Man With A Mission during Japan Expo though! That was intense (can't really see it in the video though, but it was!).

Their lead singer being from an idol group is the only connection that they have from that world. And he was only in that group for a year. The actual band was started because some high school friends wanted to start a band. Taka (the leader singer) was one of the last additions to the band.
In general idol groups are creations. Whether that be through a competition or a company setting out to find a group or singer with a very specific look and image. Most pop groups and singers that you see are idols. It doesn't matter if they're from the US, UK, Japan or Korea. They're almost all created with a factory-like mentality.

Kumi's incident was the same mic thing, same arm, same stage at the 2010 Kouhaku :lol
Fair enough. However, I did hear that they do have some status with in the female demography which other band don't just because of that connection.
Speaking of which, anyone have listened to THEATRE BROOK? I am just listening to thier best collection and its a bit too funk for me and not in groovy way. But I'll keep listening to it hoping that it would grow on me.
And Q&A by Owarikara is awesome and one of the best Album of 2012.

Zenky Reference was very mellow and went felt like they were heading to a different direction. \yes, there were couple of solid songs, but there were a lot fillers in that Album. Pierce is such a shit song. While half of that Album is just weak, instrumental wise.
Deeper and Deepe have a lot Deftone influence which I don't like. I suppose different strokes for different people I guess.

It's a bit different but I still like it. Video is kinda creepy.

New GODFUME single "Mirai no Museum" a tie-in with the new Doraemon movie, releasing 27/2/2013 *o*
Here's a 1 minute preview aired at the end of the anime.
I know everyone's been waiting for a new "edge", but I'm absolutely loving this cutesy side of Perfume (except communication).

Siiiis it's true *.* debutfume is so flawless I just can't. ~Complete Best~ might be my most played album by them.
Haha it may take away but Luminous Orange was uploading some new demos to their soundcloud over the summer so an album might be here sooner than later from them.

I meant their indie vintage days * . * back in 03
Before Yasutaka Nakata * . *
Don't really know what to think about the new Perfume...
Will wait for the full song but so far I'm not that hyped. It's still decent.
I've been listening to some "oldies" lately like The Yellow Monkey and The Blue Hearts. No wonder why they were so popular, they are awesome.
Barairo No Hibi might be one of the greatest japanese songs ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbvlx2S5gLs
And so is Linda Linda.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUab1kM2Rmc
Also... God damn, Suneohair is also a wonderful artist.
Can't stop listening to Pinto. This song is just so... I dunno. It's perfect!

Yo you should totally check out My Dear Dead Girlfriend's - Underdrawing for Three Forms of Unhappiness at the State of Existence for that shoegaze fix
Those are great picks, too. Ave Materia might be my favorite album by the band so far.
Yeah, I have heard great things about this band. I will definitely check them out, Speaking of Shoegaze, I'll do Introduction to this band (Perhaps you have heard of them, but I'll do the introduction nevertheless.
Heavenstamp
What happens when you combine a heavy guitar driven New-wave music with Shoegazing? Well this band Just shows how you can combine those two genres that seem to be on the opposite end of tempo and technique. Shoegazing have been having a great revival for the past decade. Since its sudden demise, for being ''pretentious'',''Boring'' and ''unimaginative'', in spite of great releases from My bloody Valantine, Lush and The Jesus and Mary Chain, The underground scene have been attached to its technique and start to fuse with genres, Like Supercar with Electronica, COLD KITCHEN with Alternative, Lillies and Remains with Post Punk, and now you have it combined with New-wave.
So Who are Heavenstamp? Well for over a year, they have been hyped up to be the next band that could very well have an impact on the indie scene in Japan as well as break into the international scene. It started as a side project of the very own Russel Lissack of Bloc Party's fame. Russel is a well known Japanophile and having been heavily interested into Animes such Evangelion, he started to wonder about working with minor Japanese underground Music scene. This band is one of them and he contributed to the guitar play of their first EP ''Hype'' as well as producing many remixes for all of the other EPs as well.
Thier music is cross between the riff of The white Stripes, with Electronica of LCD Soundsystem drenched in Shoegaze of Ringo Deathstarr. Echo Guitar sounds and slick production gives this band an edge over other bands as well as the groove of their songs.
Some of thier other songs have some psychedelic feel of the 70s while other have just the wall of sound the shoegaze is known for.
They have been active as well. They have released a whopping 4 EPs in a year and just when we thought they are one of those bands, they release album last year (Self-titled) which had a whopping 15 songs. Although they have released 7 PVs (a whopping 7, WTF?), the Album have still meat to it, since the songs are varied and somehow addictive. Even though I have been listening to some of their EPs for so long, their Album remains one of the best releases last year. During that process, their Count have shrunk from 4 to 3, but, they still crank music so no fear. Head to their official website for some info about them and their album is Itunes (the american and the English)
Some of their songs:
Hype - Stand by you - 80KIDZ remix - Waterfall - Decadance - Dreaming about You
It's funny because my expectations were not very high but this album completely set me straight.
Heavenstamp is pretty cool. I found out about them because their producer's wife teaches graphic design at my college.
I never heard of Sekaitekinaband prior to this post. They're pretty cool!
I'll check that whole album out though
They are great. I wanted to get their Album, but I don't have any more money to spend on Music. They came to London a(Touring with Bo nIngen) and I got to talk to them for a while. Seem like a coool bunch and they do tours regularly with Lillies and Remains a as well they have the same producer and promoter. They have similar style (Post-Punk, Gothic Rock) but they have this zist of Punk in their music which adds to the atmosphere
And guess what, their main vocalist is the Drummer. How freaking cool is that?
You should get their release if you can, I have this joint album and their songs are fantastic (as the whole album)
That's awesome. You should ask her if she can arrange a meeting.
By the way, That HINTO song is great and the video is even better. Another band I have to check
And speaking of PVs, my PV of the year goes to: HOLIDAYS OF SEVENTEEN - Boyz and Girlz
can you figure out why?
All thier PVs are awesome and thier album is great as well.

BLESS I wish I was that hardcore I only use like two songs pre-Nakata lol, but it's so inspiring to see where they have come from and how much they have accomplished.

Lawd their sync is so perfect *o* they truly were the best.
