No they're in Japan.

Then I'm mistaking them for another band. I know there's a Japanese band that lives on the UK. I tough it was LITE, but I probably thought that because they tour a lot there.

EDIT: I *think* there is a band. Went do some "research" but couldn't find anything, and now I think I'm crazy.

Yeah you're right but I completely forgot who that was.

 

[Kurita]

Received my SAKANAMON CDs, huzzah!

 

[Desmond]

I love the artwork.

 

[SKINNER!]

IDK, LITE?
As far as I know they're based on UK

?
No they're in Japan.

Man, wish I could help but my J-Rock knowledge is failing me right now haha

With the help of this page, I managed to the find that London/Japan band that was featured in the show. They're a Kobe band called The fin and the music video that was on the show was called Faded Light.

Again, thanks for the help guys

They'll delete it in 24 hours unfortunately. But yeah it's just awesome. This band is so consistent, their new album will blow my mind.

 

[Shiina]

Looks like 9mm Parabellum Bullet is coming out with a best of album in July.

Need to buy the two live blu-rays. Seems like their 10th anniversary shows were amazing, several other artists attended it. Still one of the top rock bands after all these years.

Awesome, I was just wondering yesteday what happened to those guys.

 

[Kurita]

They released an album in 2013 and still headline the major rock festivals. They also did two shows at the Budokan this week to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

And what an album that was, their best by far imo.

 

[Kurita]

Honestly it's hard for me to say which album is their best, I like them all a lot. Dawning was better than Movement (which was still great) imo though.

Anyway, I listened to my SAKANAMON CDs and they were all amazing. INSUROCK already secured a spot in my favorite albums of 2014 list. It's so fresh.

The new generation of rock bands (SAKANAMON, Keytalk, KANA-BOON, Gesu no Kiwami Otome, go!go!vanillas, OKAMOTO'S, [Champagne], CreepHyp...) will never cease to impress me.

thank you so much~

Did anyone spot Perfume in New York yesterday?

(@ One Ok Rock show) -- checking out future US tour venues?

 

[Kurita]

Couldn't believe it when I saw this in my Twitter feed. But since they're close friends with the band...
MiChi and SEKAI NO OWARI were also at the show.

 

[Aizo]

This is my kind of music. The bass and guitar timbres are awesome, and the acoustic riffs are tight. The singer's voice is pretty gorgeous. This is my first time hearing The Winking Owl, but I'm looking forward to more!

 

[Aizo]

How did I miss the new Lillies and Remains MV?!

 

[Kurita]

The new Hello Sleepwalkers PV is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dPpdvPM2FM
It's way more dynamic than their previous album so I can't wait to hear the new one.

I just discovered them because of Noragami's OP, so good.

 

[Kurita]

Oh, also bought the indies mini-album of Good Morning America along with their new single. It's so good. If you're into punk-pop-rock (that's a lot of genres stuck together) it's great. Their first major album released last year was a nice suprise.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is doing a new collab, this time with the ultra-famous rock band MONGOL800. The song is quite beautiful.

Off to the Lite gig now in Birmingham. I am really excited!

My friend saw them in Dublin on Monday. Annoyed I couldn't go.

 

[faridmon]

Just came back! The gig was fucking amazing. Not only them, but the supporting band all impressed me. I am too knackered to write anything now, but I will post my impression at a later date!

My friend saw them in Dublin on Monday. Annoyed I couldn't go.

Oh Pity. But they said they will come back to UK and Ireland for another tour, so you will see them
I am actually contemplating whether I should go to their gig again in Leicester tomorrow...

Actually, I am already going to see Speedy Ortiz tomorrow and the tickets are paid in advance, so....

 

[Kurita]

KANA-BOON's new PV is here. Two weeks until the single, I can't wait.

When it comes to importing physical Japanese albums, what is the best site to use? Cheers.

Edit - And before you say YesAsia, it appears they don't even have the album I want listed.

Oh well at least you'll be able to watch it on Youtube since Sony only likes people who live in Japan.

I'm digging Atsuko Maeda's upcoming song. I like her solo songs way more than AKB48, maybe because it's pop-rock oriented.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLiArygH3Kg
Plus, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant and the HIATUS's bassist was a support member at the latest Countdown Japan festival! How cool is that!

Takahashi Yu released his new PV. I think this guy is a genius, his entire discography is amazing.

I just find this really catchy at the end of every magi episode....

The acting is a bit scary though...

 

[Kurita]

Listened to FOLKS's major debut EP. It's really great! It's similar to Galileo Galilei but that's normal since two of the members were part of Galileo Galilei before.
If you're into pop-rock (I guess that's the term) you'll definitely enjoy it.

Their new artist picture also looks really nice...

It's been more than 2 years since the last one (it was released on November 2011 actually) so I'm really really excited. My most anticipated release of the year.

Discovered Hitorie (&#12498;&#12488;&#12522;&#12456 while watching the latest Countdown Japan festival. Formed by a vocaloid producer (wowaka, who is quite famous), their songs are for the most part fast-paced with crazy instrumentals. Love the voice of the frontman, too. They released their new EP today which is pretty damn good.

Huh. I didn't know wowaka originally did Rolling Girl. I always liked Aki Akane's cover, and that's the only version I'd ever heard. She's so cool...

When you say they were formed by wowaka, what exactly do you mean? Is wowaka in the band?
