hah, apparently a few months ago she finally broke kayfabe and announced that 2& Saki and Guso Drop Saki are the same person. GASP
I wonder if she's still doing gymnastics as part of her choreography
lol that was a thing? I guess that's why she has two twitter accounts?

definitely a thing. I mean she really had me fooled too, I would have never known.

So, I am listening to the latest Kinoko Teikoku jam, not thinking about much of it until track 5 hits and I am like...
I guess I wrote off their newest input initially because of the weak single (not the EP) they used to promote it.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't 桜が咲く前に a prequel song to Tokyo from their last album? and yeah, the piano intro adds a more punch to it.
Yeah, it's 10 years before.
Going to Tower Records (especially the one at Shibuya) changes a person's life, beware.
Man, staying a year will just destroy my bank account. There's nothing like grabbing a new single/album on its release day. I love the feel of those stores, with notes written by the staff on the displays, you can see they care about the music. And if you're lucky enough you can see the artists going to the stores when they've got new stuff out. It's like a tradition.

Watch as they try to hand out 50000 flyers.
Yeah but for 10000yen you can basically see every popular band live, best way to discover the scene.
Don't go just for one band yo, Metrock always has a small but sick line-up. There's not a single artist I don't like in the Osaka one on May 14th!
that's true but two problems
it's already may 16th
the 21st one is in tokyo
/edit motherfuck i could've seen shishamo again!!!!! fuck and i spent most of the 14th dicking around in osaka anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fuck my life
by the way i bought a radwimpz album and i'm sorry to say i don't like them as much as i was hoping
Which album?
Oh, well their very first albums aren't good at all. I mean there's a reason they rarely play songs from those.
RADWIMPS 3 is alright, RADWIMPS 4 is where they start coming into their own, and the 3 albums released between 2009 and 2013 are classics everybody should listen to once.

I was too curious as to what a NSFW Lovely Summer-chan video could be, and lol.
VMO are live now, so good. though their original name was funnier. (vampillia blackest ever black metal). I hope they actually release some music soon.
e: jesus christ this set is so good, was not expecting it to be this awesome. never underestimate Vampillia projects
Nice. I watched it with a shitty google cardboard kit. Finally i can live out my dream as a low res japanese lady with huge cleavage.
edit: VMO is fucking rad.
fucking lmao

good music!
Boris announced a new album, "Crossing Waltz", which will only be available at their merch table at an upcoming show.
Loving the cover. I'm sure it will sound nothing like what I expect it to!
Apparently it's a live album: https://www.discogs.com/Boris-Crossing-Waltz/release/8522428

huh, back when Michio was still with them. that cover's too good to be on a live album
fake edit: Habanai sure likes their microkorgs. I still don't know what Sawa actually plays. as far as I can tell she just holds down one key the entire time.
the e-drums are cracking me up
e: Pink Tokarev shirt
e2: did they cut Sawa's mic? lol

Looks like that Blood on the Moshpit documentary is finally coming out, they uploaded a 40+ minute "prologue," whatever that means, in advance of the theatrical release.
for backstory, Have a Nice Day! wanted to throw a cd release party for "Dystopia Romance" last year, so they started a crowdfunding campaign that was super successful. so they threw a show/party for like 1000 people with their regular cohorts (Oyasumi Hologram, Nature Danger Gang, more) and it was filmed by folks from Hamajim (AV production company who have hilariously branched out to documenting underground music as well, they did the BiS Cannonball doc).
video is probably partially NSFW for Nature Danger Gang reasons, but I haven't watched it all yet to confirm

New song from Un Amin is nice. Has a sort of Kindan no Tasuketsu feel.

Goto Mariko is quitting music and the music industry yet again. It does seem pretty final this time though. Her twitter timeline is killing me rn.

is she telling people to not come to her live show? hah. she sounds in a better state of mind this time around, though admittedly it's still hard to understand her tweets. hopefully she'll find something that brings her some kind of satisfaction.

The MIRI solo album rules. She should just say fuck it to Rhymeberry and go solo full-time (the most recent album with them just as a duo was my favorite release from them though).
Alternatively she should form a trio with GOMESS and Mao from SenoSister.

yeah I like it a lot. I almost don't know what the point of Rhymeberry is anymore. I liked Hime alright but she went to Lyrical School. I'd be fine with just a solo Miri career.
lol Mao did better than I expected. god Miri's so badass though

it's a Hyadain-ass Hyadain song, for better or worse

probably better, considering the quality of most of their songs
also Mari looks cute
That really is the most Hyadain. Parts of it sound like it's straight out of Kakakata Kataomoi-C (still a really cute music video). I miss his rad FF and DQ remixes.

Pretty rare to get split releases by major artists. Last one I can remember was KANA-BOON x Scenarioart.
