Pretty rare to have LGBT representation in a Japanese video (no matter how depressing that one is) so that was neat, on top of the beautiful cinematography.
I agree, it is quite rare - I know Lucky Tapes has featured LGBT representation recently too;Pretty rare to have LGBT representation in a Japanese video (no matter how depressing that one is) so that was neat, on top of the beautiful cinematography.
Solo Nakata work. This song sounds like it could have been from the same session as the new Kyary song. Well we know where he's at in terms of his musical headspace.
EDIT:Oh I guess this is going to be a start of a new solo girl project. Best of luck to Momo thenmmm... actually I'm not sure as I googled some article that is from 2 years ago
Well to be fair, he labeled the song as a solo project. Maybe you're correct that the featured artist's music will follow a similar blueprint, but this could just be a small test run or a way to get the singer's name out there before going forward with a full LP.it's fine I guess? a little sad I guess that it's not even remotely different from kyary or mito. like, maybe don't take on new projects if you're not going to do new things?
hmm... so this won't become anything bigger? I thought it was going to lead to a full partnership.She won an audition 2 years ago (I remember seeing the ads in Lawson back then) where the prize a song written by Nakata.
Actually she was on Nakata's solo album too, so it's their 2nd song together.Well to be fair, he labeled the song as a solo project.

(Though I kinda feel you're probably more correct that it will be similar to this sound in general)

it's somehow worse that he couldn't even write one song for her that didn't sound like a kyary b-side thenhmm... so this won't become anything bigger? I thought it was going to lead to a full partnership.
Acts I want to see (I know I'll only be able to see like half of them given the sheer size but still lol) : ORAL CIGARETTES, OKAMOTO'S, Official Higedandism, KOTORI, Satou Chiaki, SPECIAL OTHERS, SEKAI NO OWARI, Necry Talkie, the HIATUS, THE BACK HORN, LiSA, Aimer, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, SAKANAMON, SIX LOUNGE, SUPER BEAVER, Perfume, Haruka Mirai, Hump Back , Wasureranneyo
Yeah, the only big international fes in Japan are Fuji Rock and Summer SonicKurita
Very cool. I'm kinda surprised that I don't see (or at least assume I don't see) any international acts. Has this festival been always a domestic acts one?
Rock in Japan was the sweatiest day of my life. Have fun, and drink lots of water. People do pass out. It's hot as fuck.
Yeah, also hope it doesn't rain lol.Rock in Japan was the sweatiest day of my life. Have fun, and drink lots of water. People do pass out. It's hot as fuck.
That's a hell of a line-up.Got my ticket for the first week-end of Rock in Japan! Going with a friend, I'm so excited. Been waiting for this during 10 years ever since I first saw footage of that festival.
About half of the line-up is out so far, it's pretty much a Kurita Festival so no surprises :

Will be my fifth Japanese festival after Countdown Japan 16/17, Viva la Rock 2017, Crossing Carnival 2018 and Muro Festival 2018.
thumbs down for me. Just feels like Japanese karaoke. Never cared for the original. Seriously or ironically. I feel like I'm just drunk at a club when 80s night is going on.
Not angry or anything like that. Just doesn't do anything for me. Has me wondering if SY is going to make some covers EP or LP. Hmm...
Sucks to hear : Shinsei Kamattechan's bassist is leaving the band this year. He's got a second child on the way, and being a musician isn't enough to support his family.
Aaaah, the HIATUS are releasing their 6th album in july! Been waiting for 3 years.

Trailer for Mom's 2nd album coming out next week, aka my most anticipated release of the month
SIX LOUNGE are a great modern take on the genre.That reminds me how I tried to listen to The Hiatus because I'm a big fan of Ueno but the music style is not my cup of tea. Even went to a live last year, so I guess I'll try again once the new album comes out.
Can someone recommend me some japanese punk rock bands? These days I have been listening to old bands like The Stanlin, because Michiro died last month and it was a shock for me, and the Roosters.
