Holy shit.

The band that got me into Japanese rock is back. It's been 10 years. Twitter is going crazy over this. All the artists I follow (especially the ones in their 20s) lost their collective shit lol
I can't fucking believe it. God is real.

Its weird i was like checking and looking for a comeback like two weeks ago and was listening to eleven fire crackers last night too, unreal.

I can't believe it too. Praise all thats holy.

I always thought the indefenite hiatus was just PR speak, i really cannot believe this.

The BOYS ARE DEFINITELY BACK

Edit: Wonder if a new EP is possible or in the cards, bless us believers who have waited for so long

this has to be the regal lily vocalist right?

Yeah it's a 100% her lol

Speaking of Shinsei Kamattechan, the theme song for the live-action adaptation of After the Rain is a neat cover of Front Memory by the up-and-coming singer Suzuki Emiko and Kameda Seiji. (Noko and mono, alongside with Shibata from Wasureranneyo and Sawabe from Skirt worked as musicians on the OST of the movie too)

God damn this is great

Hyped for the album


It's pretty damn good but Rei is my jam or at least will be. I had no clue it had already been out for 3 months on iTunes. I just previewed it and fell in love. I'm buying it the second I get some Yen in my account. Also anyone have any clue as to when BRATS song Kimarigoto will release on iTunes? I can't find if there's a release date for the song and it's really good.

The album might become their best one if all the songs are as strong as this one, Rei, One's Again... Can't wait.

Listened to Bunriha No Natsu from Nariaki Obukuro.

I don't think it's really up my ally. But I really enjoyed the close out for this record. The last 3 songs. Kadode? I'll dab to that haha

Enjoying DATS's major debut album quite a bit. They were alright before, but that album is on another level. I especially like the fact that they're starting to have lyrics in Japanese and not full English like before. Definitely adds something, they don't just sound like a random western band this way. A great mix of electro, dance pop...

(this song isn't the best example though, but since they're with Sony I can't find a MV available for all lol)

--
I'm absolutely stoked for Straightener's upcoming album. The band turns 20 this year and they still sound fresh as ever, mad respect for them, they might never move from my top 10 bands.


Also now that Ellegarden is back it means that they're definitely going to do shows together like in the early 2000s, damn.

Any forward thinking/positive Takahashi Yu song is a good song (actually any Takahashi Yu song is a good song)

Hope an album is coming this year, he's released a bunch of great singles.

Been on an Aimyon kick lately, no doubt she's going to be one of the great solo artists of this generation (also I have a tendency to like artists who are the same age as me)

I'm super happy with iTunes Japan right now. As a fan of most things relating to Tetsuya Komuro, I've looked for H Jungle with T songs on there for the longest time now and I decided to search for Wow War Tonight and bam, I find it and the other 2 singles. Now if only they could add 海とあなたの物語, which would be a real treat to own since it's a great song. Also sorry for writing what pretty much sounds like a blog post but I'm super happy.-

New singles from Chelmico and Inshow-ha out today, the Chelmico singles were meant to be out later but they released them early.

New BiS is looking good.
