Gonna see her next month so I'm pretty excited :D

Did you pick up any merch if they had any? Curious on what they got and want to see if I have to line early.

I actually did come with 200 Euro to buy stuff, but in the end did not. The main tour T shirt is totally fine. I didn't feel like grabbing that. There are the scarves which also I think were tour themed. Some accessories.

What I really wanted was to buy her physical albums, but she is not selling any music at the shows. It's all clothing/accessory related.

Covers for Hiragana Keyakizaka46's album. Looks like a Nogizaka cover haha.

Lead track


Still wonder if they'll include old Hiragana songs that were already on the Keyakizaka album last year. Guess not tho since a lot of them had Neru so.

I guess I need to subscribe here. Found this by looking up if anything was posted about the new Babymetal single which I love to hell and want to play a game set in that universe now.

Is anyone here listening to the band "Born" and has heard anything regarding new music? Their last songs are from 2015 if I am not mistaken.

Life is beautiful is the good stuff. Aina's voice during the chorus, oh yis.
That ending though, goddamn onions.

Kinda wonder if they're gonna release an album this year since they already have two singles.

It was Shiina Ringo's 20th anniversary yesterday, to mark the occasion her discography is now available on Spotify and Apple Music. She also announced Ringo Expo 18 tour starting October, hopefully there'll be an album by then.

Finally (hey Aiii )


9mm Parabellum Bullet's vocalist's solo album is looking good. This first song is super neat. I'm actually surprised to see that it's composed by 9mm's guitarist and the lyrics are by Supercar's Ishiwatari, thought he'd do it alone.

Video is pretty funny with the homage to 80s music shows. It's directed by the guy who did Nogizaka46's Nigemizu and Hoshino Gen's Doraemon, starring Trendy Angel's Saitou.

This thread moves too fast for me. Japan needs to release music slower. Thanks. :P

Kana-Boon's latest mini-album is ridiculously good. The whole theme is summer but it's not really a joyful album despite some upbeat melodies. The lyrics are mostly about reminiscing your past summer days, not being able to see the one you loved etc... Classic stuff when it comes to Japanese songs about summer, and it always works. Excellent. I kinda hope they're gonna do more concept albums like this.
Highly recommend it even to people not familiar with them, it's a good way to get into the band.

This is almost a question for a general music thread, but I'll ask anyway, I can't figure something out and it's bugging me so much...


This song. Is clearly a copycat of a some really famous score or pop song, especially the refrain. But. I can't figure it out!




I love the lyrics, the complete song could definitely be better, low production values, too much filler. Though that's bedsides the point.

Anyone know where it's "inspired" by?

A mountain in the US


someone pointed this out on twitter and I just about lost my shit, but apparently Shinsei Kamattechan is doing the intro music to the new ThunderCats reboot that the internet hasn't been able to shut up about the last few days. it's an old song, drugs, ねー子 err I mean Thunder Neko (lmao). fucking bizarre.
the downside is that I've now been extra exposed to the discourse around this cartoon for children and want to die.


Meant to reply to this earlier. That show looks pretty cool, and so insane they're using Shinsei Kamattechan <3

Kinda funny that it's a tie-up with Sony headphones since they spent 2 years in major with Sony back in the day and weren't happy lol


Goddamn Takuya crying at 2:10 while 10k+ people are singing together. Chills.

Dunno if it's a record or anything, but 720 000 people entered the lottery to get a ticket for Ellegarden's comeback show at Studio Coast. That's 300 times the amount of available tickets. This is nuts LMAO. Warms my heart to see all that love even 10 years later.
They might as well do several Tokyo Dome shows in a row at this point.

I guess I'm posting here from now on because I've been listening to a decent amount of (alt-)idol music among other things lately.
Here's the new MV from Shiina Pikarin:
