愛狂います (Aicle) has been active for a while now without their drummer 玲音 (Re[i]on). He left because of musical differences. Anyways... they aren't producing anything new as of right now... but their latest single 「Koutei Penguin」is quite good. The PV is really cool and, yeah they've toned down their style but their music still hasn't changed as much as others... ^_^
So you should check the PV out for yourself!!
Unfortunately... the only edition available right now is the Regular one which doesn't include a DVD...
Oh well! Cross our fingers that Aicle will release a DVD with all of their PV's on it!!!
Sooo
Here's the track list for this single:
#1 肯定ペンギン (Koutei Pengin)
#2 明日、地峡終わるなら．．． (Ashita, Chikyuu Owaru nara...)
#3 カンガエル(Kangaeru)
Ashita, Chikyuu Owarunara... is a diff song. I found a video on youtube but it isn't the best video by far. But it seems like the song isn't tampered with in there so it'll do. Well check out the song for yourself...
and i'm really sorry for not being able to find a better video with this song on it... ;(
カンガエル I actually can't find on youtube!! Dammmm. k well I don't know how it is... but all of aicle's latest songs are still well played and composed to me so it should also be good... I think.
Sorry guys,
I really thought that the song would be on there. Like really, it's an "extra song" on a single. That doesn't mean that I don't think highly of them tho...
Some CD's I would buy because of the extra songs since the title song isn't actually that good. So I do respect those songs and they are as important as the title song. I just thought that I would have more trouble finding the PV than this song because it isn't the title song.
Well...
Like I said before...
SORRY!!!!! ;( ごめんなさい！！ :'(
hope you guys can forgive me.
さぁ
またねぇ！！
Oh and I almost forgot!
A happy New Year to everyone in the world! And for those who's new year has already started... hope it is turning out WONDERFUL!!!! ^_^
Their latest single that has been out for a while!!!! (Since October 19th to be exact)
I honestly really, really, love this band. Sono (苑) the vocalist is one of the best! I love how different his vocals are compared to other vocalists. It seems to pull you in and keeps a hold of you for as long as possible.
Anyways, back to the song itself, and ultimately the single. 摩天楼オペラ definitely haven't given up their image or sound. Even though they have been major since Helios came out last July. That was also a really good song. (Check out my post about it here!) Anyways...
Their last single... right!
So here's the PV for it!!
Yeah, yeah, their image DID change a little... but not as much as some of the other VK groups that went major!! And, the most important thing is that their sound didn't change much either... that's probably what I love most about them! I find that most groups almost totally change their sounds once they go major.
And I find that down-right ANNOYING!!!!!!
Calm down...
Sorry for the outburst. I'm okay now... ^_^ ...or not ... ]:)
K. So they have two editions of this single:
The first edition is the limited edition and has:
[CD]
#1 落とし穴の底はこんな世界 「Otoshiana no Soko ha Kona Sekai」
#2 Sleeping Beauty
[DVD]
PV and "Director's Cut" for 落とし穴の底はこんな世界
Sleeping Beauty is only on the Limited Edition CD.
It is soo good. Slower than Otoshiana but still got the sound. I think it's Anzi's that has a solo. And it's deff not a disappointment. I just wonder who his back-up vocalist is... hmmmm. Anyways, a great song as ever by them.
Here's the PV so that you can check it out for yourself and decide what you think of it. ^_^
So the other Edition is the Regular Edition.
There are a few differences between this one and the limited one, but then that is to be expected...
[CD]
#1 落とし穴の底はこんな世界「Otoshiana no Soko ha Konna Sekai」
#2 Diorama Wonderland
and there is no DVD included in this edition ：’（
So Diorama Wonderland is slightly different. It has the same up-beatness and Otoshiana but it still has it's own arrangement of the famous 摩天楼オペラ sound. There does seem to be a tinge of synthetic sound to it, but if you listen closer it's just an incredible melding of 苑 and the back-up vocals.
Check it out for yourself... I deff don't think you'll be disappointed. ^_^
I really don't find disappointment in what 摩天楼オペラ has been releasing since they went major.
Can't wait for their first major full album available on March 3rd 2012!! I'll give an update on it when I'm able to decipher info as it comes ：Ｄ
シド (SID) is a really, really, cool group. This is the first song that I heard from them... and this is the song that got me into visual kei so it's quite special to me. シド モノクロのキス lyrics
The lyrics are really, really, nice as well. All シド songs that I listen to seem to have a really nice undertone to them. Like モノクロのキス seems to be about two lovers or something like that. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that there seems to always be a touching story behind every song like a ballad, but in rhythmic lyrics with a two-variation chorus. This song is deff not an exception to this "category." :-D
Sadly... PS company has taken down the PV's for this song and I haven't been able to find them since...
I mean, I can see why they would take the PV down in a way... most ly so that people don't illegally download it from youtube.... but still! :'(
sigh....
well I did find the song still tho! ：Ｄ
The whole reason I got into Visual Kei was because of this song. The whole reason I wanted to listen to this song is because... it's both openings for Black Butler. Black Butler really is a good anime (even if I haven't seen all of the second season...) But before I go onto a tangent on Black Butler and totally get off topic... I give you...
THE SONG!!!
sigh.... I really do like this song. And... it takes me back a year ago when I started my journey into the whole world of Visual Kei. I'll never regret that day as long as I live.
and the TV spot!
Well... support the band. SID really is a good band and I owe them for getting me into Visual Kei... even tho they don't even know me... Oh well... lol ；Ｐ
Again, sadly, the only CD not out of print is the regular one with just the CD,,, ：’（
So the tracks are:
#1 モノクロのキス (Monokuro no Kisu)
#2 Season
#3 And Boyfriend (Live Version)
Season isn't a bad song at all! I actually really like it! It's got a jazzy feel to it and Mao's voice really fits the mood created by the music. A little slow, but really good.
From what I remember seeing on youtube from their lives, Mao is really funny and his voice isn't fixed at all for their CD's!!I also know that And Boyfriend is a really up-beat good song... so even though I haven't heard this live version... it should be really, reeally good. Check out this version of it and see for yourself!!
Well there you have it! The three songs on the CD that I most want to get!! Even though there is no PV version of it... :'(
DaizyStripper is a really cool band. I especially love their song 月に銃声 (Tsuki ni Jyuusei) Now I'm not sure what it translates to but I think it loosely translates to "Hearing the Moon" or "Shotgun to the Moon". I'm asking a friend of mine what it translates to. Anyways... I really like this song and it's really intense. My Japanese isn't that great but there is something mysterious about this song and it's meaning. I don't trust translators that much especially when it comes to lyrics so that's why I won't just translate this song through them...
It's also a really great PV. I love the mystery that is seen here and the SFX are very similar to ダウト D=OUT's 明星オリオン(Myoujou Orion) or 愛狂います Aicle's Ｃとソプラノ. (I already have a blog post on Aicle check it out here! 明星オリオン I'm going to be making a blog post on shortly)
Well here's the PV so that you can decide for yourself how good it is :D
Sadly the only type of the single 「月に銃声」 that had the PV on it is out of print... :'(
But the regular version is still around! :D
So the track list is as followed:
#1 月に銃声 (Tsuki ni Jyuusei)
#2 雨音のワルツ (Amaoto no Warutsu)
#3 Under The Sun
雨音のワルツ is a really good song as well. I really like the up-beat but still sort of slow beat and the equally confusing rhythm of the vocals as well. It actually has a Oriental feel to it... I know that it's bad to say that but it's really cool! I just totally fell in love with this song the second I started listening to it!
Under the Sun has a different take compared to the other two songs on this CD. It has a more rockish sound to it. But it's still a very good song. The rap isn't even that bad and ususally rapping gets on my nerves so it really can't be that bad. :D I really like the dimension for the vocals/ lyrics in Under the Sun. I can't really say anything else about it because there isn't anything else to say without repeating myself (which is something that I really do wayyy to much.)
Well support DaizyStripper because they have been a group since March 2007. They deserve to be supported. :D
I am currently listening to GazettE's newest album Toxic. It has 14 songs and 10 of them are new. The 4 older songs are some of my favorites!!!!
The first song is more of a intro into their actual CD. But there really isn't much to it, to me anyways...
Oh right, only one of these songs has a PV to it (The Suicide Circus) besides those that were past songs with PVs to them.
The next song is called Venomous Spider's Web and is also quite intersting... but not really my type of song for some reason...
Well I have to say that Sludgy Cult was an okay song, I don't mind listening to this one more than once...
Hmmmmm well Red I've listened to more than once, since this is one of their past songs, so I LOVE it!!!!! The beats, the lyrics, everything about this song is just SO good!!!!
Now this next song is a new song... and it's one of my fave's from this album!!! If you really listen to this song and look at the lyrics it's quite interesting and meaningful when you get down to it. The techno parts in Ruki's voice also adds a touch of impact to the whole song.
Haha well Shiver is another past song from GazettE that really ROCKS!!!! It was used as one of the openings for Black Butler II. I also really really do like the lyrics and the whole music and lyrical beats of Shiver. It's a deff good song!
The 7th song on Toxic (My Devil on the Bed) is really confusing me in a way. It has a really, really, catchy beat and I do like the whole composition of the song... I just don't like what the lyrics are about. Like yeah, society is raging about sex right now so it would make sense that artists would compose songs incorporating it... but still!!! GazettE has many good songs that aren't as explicit about sex as this one is!!!
The next song is actually called Untitled. I found this neat. The song itself is a deff winner. There's no SFX added to it, the music is calming but has a good beat so it's not boring. Of course, Ruki's voice is superb in this song! Anything added would actually ruin the beauty and simplicity of this song. It's just really beautiful...
Pledge, is another song by GazettE that has already been released... it's also another one of my favorites! The lyrics are quite touching and the PV is pretty good. Like yeah, they don't show much of the band besides Ruki and the girl isn't the best actress... but the main point does get across. Therefore, it's a really good all around production in my books! :D
The 10th song on this album is Ruthless Deed. The song is really cool. The first couple seconds had me doubting, but I decided to keep listening to it... and I'm glad that I did. It has a new type of musical composition to it than what I'm used to hearing from GazettE. Unlike some of the other songs also on this album, I actually liked this new type of composition. It has a similar beat to My Devil on the Bed, but it doesn't have the same confusing feeling to it... :D
Hmmmmmm Psychopath ... isn't a song that I really like. There's just a little too much screaming for my taste. Everything else is okay... like the beats are good, but I can't get anything else from it. There isn't really any singing except for the middle, but that isn't enough for me to actually want to listen to this song more than once...
Vortex... now there's a song! Love the hard edged rock, the techno adds to the song, and I sincerely love it! I actually already have a post about this song because it's just that good!!!
Sigh... #13 Tomorrow Never Dies is a really cool song. It just sounds really cool and gives me a cool feeling. If that even makes sense... :D
I can deff listen to this song more than once. ;D
Omega on the other hand... not so much. But then it is a short song and more of a completion song for the album. Like it is okay... but not really my type.
Anyways... that's GazettE's latest album Toxic. Over all pretty good actually. I would buy this album once I get the money for it. It might not be my next CD to buy, but it's one of the next CDs on my GOT TO BUY list.
<-- PV
for The Suicide Circus
and it's making of (LE)
-->
This one is the RE and is just the album of 14 songs
さぁ
Well it is a really good album, I would buy it. And the one i'd buy is the one with the <--- DVD since my laptop seems to be able to play Region 2 DVD's!!!
Hey just listened to the single Toy Soldier and accompanying songs.
Pretty good I suppose...
Toy Soldier was different, like in the way that it had a really good beat and it was catchy. But I'm not sure about the lyrics or really how they were toned. Here:
Really interesting...
Anyways, きらきら (Kira Kira) was the best song in this single. :D I really did like it. It had a nice beat, the lyrical tone was good, and the whole song just had an overall good feeling to it.
So yeah....
The last song on this single (#9 Garbage) was also interesting.
I'm not quite sure if I liked it or not... :|
But it was good in a way...
Well the whole single is interesting and I'm not really sure if this is a good buy or not. I, myself, might not buy it before some other CD's but then this is just me. I have friends that will buy all SuG CD's that they can get their hands on!
So, if you really did like these songs support the artist!!
Honestly me myself and I would buy Type A because it's the most appealing with the regular PV of Toy Soldier aswell as the song きらきら. That's just my opinion tho... :D
This is definitely one of my favourtie songs by Aicle. The lyrics are quite interesting and deep if you think about it. Take a look...
anyways. It's a really good song. I love the lyrics and the whole musical entertainment of the song. Like it may sound kind of chessey in a way... but it's really really good. :D
Please support the band... they lost their drummer Rei （れい） I'm pretty sure because of musical differences... :'(
Kaya is releasing his new single "Vampire Requiem" on January 25th 2012. This single is special since Hizaki from Versailles (one of my favorite bands) composed the song with the single's title. Kaya still composed the lyrics, but he worked with "his dear friend" (Kaya official site) to do the music.
I've listened to a couple of his songs and I must say that they are pretty good. Even if he is a little crazier than some of the J-Rockers that I listen too.
His single Ophelia is pretty good. I especially like "Rose Kingdom" from there.
yeah... it is a little techno for my taste. But it's still a good song to listen to every now and then.
Ophelia was the first song I listened to and it was good. After, I listened to Transmigration...
...
...
what can I say...
...
...
it's quite interesting, that's when I knew that he was deff different from the rest of the J-Rockers that I know.
Take a look for yourself:
I still listen to him... he's just an over the top J-Rocker, that's all. :D
Any ways, from these and a couple other songs that I listened to, I think Vampire Requiem will deff be an interesting CD.
I'm totally obsessed with this song by Gackt!!
It's a really good song that seems to be showing a good message... maybe about how the world is...
Maybe, this is just my opinion, the video has something to do with the ugly realities of life... Like I'm thinking of the woman that keeps popping up throughout the whole video. Here it is... maybe you have a diff take on it. I'd like to hear it if you do. : D
Any ways... support Gackt. He was in Malice Mizere and I'm not sure what happened with the band... maybe someone could explain what happened.
kk
I need to do some more homework and then i'm off to bed...
I found a new Visual Kei band... but it's from Mongolia!! I do like the visual effect that they are going for... and I do like the music (even though NEO is quite synthetic). I guess the dilemma is that the band is a branch off of J-Rock Visual Kei. Really it's that I don't have a lot of time to learn the Japanese or polish language. I don't want to be learning another language on top of that!
Woow... this rant seemed to help... I'm just going to enjoy the music and not learn the language until I've mastered either Polish or Japanese. I love that Visual Kei is branching of to different countries and languages.
Here's the PV of Visual Moon's song NEO.
Maybe there will be a Canadian Visual Kei band... hmmmm.
Anyone want to be apart of one???
lol
Leave a comment if so.
kk
also if you're interested in learning Japanese I can start a blog for "students" and try to explain things as I learn them; I also have some helpful sites that I can reference from and give you the links for so that you can get more info from them.
I finally had some extra money!!!
"Had" being the operative word...
I used most of it on the Visual Kei CD produced by Blue Planet Japan. This is a combination CD where many bands come together and sing one song. Part of the funds from this CD will go to "Red Cross Japan" (I'm pretty sure that's the name of the organization) to help with the rebuilding of Japan after the March 11th tsunami. That's the biggest reason for picking this Cd as my first purchase.
My second reason would be because I listen to some of the bands that are participating in this collaboration of musical talent. I also found some new bands that I really like to listen now. Therefore, I figured that this is a first good purchase for me.
One thing to remember when buying something from CD Japan:
Make sure you have the right mailing address!!!!
It might be a given, but I moved for university and slightly forgot my address. I thought that it was right though!!! Oh well, I should be getting a refund (before taxes) when the first CD I purchased (with the wrong address) gets sent back to them. In the meantime... I'll have my CD that I bought again. I sure hopes that it works out like that anyways. I can keep you updated with the progress.
I'm soo excited about getting this CD! I'm able to start "expecting" it either this Friday or next Monday. I'll be checking my mail box everyday starting Friday!
Here's the live video of the full song for you guys if you want to check it out:
Some of the singers weren't there when they did this (Ricky - Rin; Riku - Dansei; JUN ? - Hero; etc) so there are some lyrics being sung by different vocalists during the actual song. The music video was online at one point, but it isn't there anymore.
Here's a clip of the music video for the first half of the song:
It's really cool!!
(If I haven't made myself clear enough... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!) It'll also be interesting if I'll be able to play the video on my computer. Hmmmm hopefully Windows Media Player will suggest a free download so that I can watch Region 2 coded videos. Oh well I'll find out sometime after Friday!!!
KK I should be going to bed since it's now waayy after midnight.
お休み!!!!
アマンダ (パンダ) Amanda (Panda)
P.S. here's the link if you would like to buy the CD:
This is another one of my favorite songs from 摩天楼オペラ. I'm actually studying Greek/ Roman Mythology right now, the reference is that Helios is the name of the Titan Sun God before Apollo took over that job. The actual lyrics are beautiful and seem to really go with the Greek Sun God theme. I usually have this song on repeat right now because it's just that amazing to me. Here's the music video so that you can see for yourself how good (or bad :( maybe) this song really is.
This is one of the best songs ever!!!! I really like this song from ダウト. It's a really up-beat song that I really like listening to. I really do like their old songs better, the new stuff is good. I just prefer the older stuff... like this one! lol
There isn't a misuc video to it... but the song itself is veeerrrry veeerrryy good!!!
You guys should deff check it out comment your thoughts if you want.
Remember.... support the bands and singers because it's important for them to know that they do have fans... especially out of country fans!
I have to say... this song ROCKS!!! I really was suprised, first when I liked this song (I thought this band was like totally hard-metal), and that I could hear two vocalists... Sometimes you can hear the back-up singer really well but Monolith actually has TWO vocalists!! I've never heard/ seen that before!!! It was such a shocker to me!!! But I loved them in this song. I also listen to other songs by them, but this is one of my favourites... and this is the first song that I heard by them aswell. There's such a sweet not to their voices in this song... and the music video goes really well with the mood that the song gives. I must say that this song is a great pick. Here, listen for yourself:
I think it's good anyways...
SUPPORT the artists... they need to know how much we like thier songs!!! Unitll then, Youtube has FREE accounts where you can listen to their music.
I'm going to be talking about the song Alkaloid Showcase by 摩天楼オペラ (Matenrou Opera). I really do like this song. The music video is really cool and I like the beat of the song. The vocalists Sono is really, really, good in this song. Honestly, I just really like this song and wanted to share it with all of you...
As you all know... SUPPORT the artists!!!!! Youtube is available for those who can't afford the music... including myself... can't wait till I have some extra cash!!!!
This is the first song that I heard from L.M.C. and I really did like them with this song. It's soo fun to listen to and it's just totally awesome to me. I really do like this song a lot. Although, it isn't my favourite from them... but it's deff one of them. I love the black-pink look of the video and how "punky" everyone looks there. I just found the whole PV cool and awesome.
As always... support the artists and buy the albums and singles.
Youtube is good untill you're able to afford the music....
The group V[Neu] has had atleast two vocalists since they began... June and みつ (Mitsu). This song was while the band had June as a vocalist. I really do like it. It's upbeat and really, really, fun to listen to... It is really hard to find stuff about them though... don't you think?? Like, the band with みつ is easy to find stuff for... but when you are looking for V[Neu] stuff with June... it's virtually impossible!!
Anyways... here's the video:
As always, even though this band is different now... support it!!! I don't know what happened to June because I can't find anything on him... but I hope he is feeling better, since I'm preety sure he left because of illness. So I hope he has been healed and is still living and singing and I just don't seem to recognize him. That's what I hope anyways... So yeah!!!
Oh, I found out they're songs don't seem to be in print anymore... SUCKY!!!!!
I really, really wanted to buy them when I was able to...
Oh well i guess.
Hey guys...
I'll explain why i've decided to do two different songs in a minute. Right now I just want to introduce the songs:
ドレミ團- 蝶 (Doremidan- Chou --> Butterfly)
This is a really good, really catchy song that I just love soo much!! I have some other songs by ドレミ團 but almost none of them compare to this one in beat and music video. This is also one of the last songs that I found from them. I really really do like them.
Here, take a look:
Dolly- 雨降りの映画館 (A Rainy Theatre)
This was the first song that I heard from Dolly... and I loved them. That is... after I found out that it was a different band. Meaning that doesn't Dolly's vocalist look A LOT like ドレミ團's vocalist?? Like really... I've always gotten this song mixed up as being either Dolly's song or ドレミ團's because of the similar looks!!!
Anyways, the band is lovely and I have a bunch of their other songs that I also listen to... I really do like the misuc video for this one (eventhough it has me confused with the vocalists...). And the song itself is quite catchy... but maybe not as catchy as ドレミ團's 蝶.
As always... support the artists by buying their songs. If you can't buy them yet... then get a FREE youtube account to watch them online untill you have the money. :) :D
I wasn't really sure about this band at first... mostly because it is 彩冷える but without Aoi (葵) as the vocal. Yumehito (夢人) is the new vocalist. He used to be one of the 2 guitar players. So now they only have one guitar player, a base, and a drummer, aswell as the vocalist.
After listening to their first song... I was liking them with and without 葵。Sometimes I feel like a traitorer... but I can't help it. Both bands sound soo good, and 葵 is doing well on his own aswell. (As far as I know anyways...) so I don't feel that bad about it.
Anyways... Melody was the first song I heard from them and I totally loved the beat and all that. The second music video (with some scenes from Enishi) was also quite cool. Like I haven't watched the movie yet... but I do want to just to see how well their acting skills are, since their music skills are really "rocking!!"
As always... support the singers... and get a FREE youtube account to listen to their songs on unitll you are able to buy them...
OMG!!!!! This song is one of the first that I fell in love with when I first started listening to Visual Kei back in 2010... The band is sooo cool-looking in this video. I must admit that this wasn't the first song by Ayabie that i've heard... it was actually the second. The first one was 会いたくて (Aitakute --> Just want to meat you [maybe]) Not quite sure on the translation there. But anyways 会いたくて was recorded much later after 君の声と約束 and when I went into this song at first... I wasn't even looking at the video. Hoestly... I was doing something else (FB Fish Wrangler maybe) and then I decided to see what the video looked like from where I was in the song.
I was like "What the heck!!!" But I loved the song... and I did recognize the vocalist 葵 (Aoi) not too long after I watched it a second time. I guess this happens to most VK bands... they start out very, very, extravagant in their clothing and make-up choices, and then they seem to go major and loose most of their Visual effect. It really saddens me because I love the visual effect just as much as their music.
Don't get me wrong. I don't just listen to the music with corresponding vids. I do admit that about 80-90% may be with video... but the rest are songs that have no video to go with them. And I like those songs just as much and sometimes even better.
Anyways... here's the video:
So... SUPPORT the bands!!!! Listen to the music on Youtube with a FREE account. If you want... I have all the music that I listen to on their in playlists. my id is sugarmidnight02. I usually don't replace the videos that are taken down... But I should start doing that.
Hey guys! I just wanted to recommend another song that I just absolutely can't get enough of. The song is called Blindness and it's by アンド & Eccentric Agent (And & Eccentric Agent)... I didn't realize how beautiful the lyrics really were before I came across a translation of it. From what I remember, since this was a while back and my schedule has been sooo hectic this past week, the song talks about how blind people can be when it comes to war. I can't quite remember but I do know that the stanza after the refrain starts with something like "Kono sekai ga ima koe wo kyookine koete hanatsunara higari ha iranai koe wo iranai chibuusae iranai."
I cant remember exactly how it was translated... but it had something to do with, "In this world... I don't want to hear your voice right now..." Anyways, this really hits me hard for some reason... it was always... way before I found the translation it seemed to really get me going in a way... I really don't know how to explain it. Anyways... I'm new at this blog thing... so I finally tried something new. (I will be updating my other blog-posts with this aswell...) Here's the video of this wonderful song...
As always... support the singers and buy their albums and singles.
Or enjoy the vast amount of available videos on Youtube for FREE while you save up for them.
Oh also... I do have to say that CD Japan is the dealer that I plan to go with when I finally come across some extra money to pay for these CD's. But, as always, it's your choice as to how you get them.
さぁ。。。それじゃ、また!! (Saa... sorejya, mata!! --> Sooo, seya later!!)
Ricky might not be a Visual Kei artist anymore... but I do still put him under this genre because he was in some Visual Kei bands. R*A*P being one of them. He's also in Dansei. Anyways this is one of his solo songs and I really do like it. It's soo up-beat and fun. The music video is also pretty good. I love the hand movements and little dances that he's rocking in it...
Anyways, as always, support the artists and buy their songs. Also, if you can't... there is Youtube. A FREE account gives you the right to make playlists and listen to music that way...
I love this song!!! This is the first song from Riku's newest band that I've heard. I loved Riku in Phantasmagoria and both he and Kisaki are together again in 凛!! I'm soo happy. They really do make good music together. Anyways... there is alot of English in this song but it's woth it. Riku does such a good job with the english words that I don't care how much english is in it. The beat is perfect, the lyrics go well with the music... and I haven't found the translation of them yet. I'd do it myself... if I knew more Japanese that is.
The video is quite interesting with mostly special FX but it seems to work well with the song.
Well that's all for today... I'm not feeling that well.
Support the artists because they aren't as popular as foreign fans seem to believe they are. Believe me I was one of them...
The song "Vortex" by Gazette is an amazing song.
There is English laced throught this song, and most of it is swearing... but it adds to the depth that this song is able to portray. I sort of get the music video but not really. Like... the song is basically about a person that can't stay with this other person because of what he/she does. Including muder, and just being "garbage" in general.
Anyways the whole video is set in a room covered with those huge sound stereo systems. There are two of them... one of them is red and black, while the other is white and black. In the red room is where Gazette plays and such. The white one is occupied by this crazy guy in a straight-jacket. I figure that this guy is supposed to personify the individual whos actions Ruki sings about.
Anyways... I love this song. The whole intesity that is has aswell as the lyrics itself and the use of the English language to get the point across.
As usual... support the singers because their lives are much tougher than they show their fans. And I still haven't found that link... I'll get it to you guys asap.
Hey everyone,
as you might've guessed... I love Visual Kei/ Scene Music.
I'm going to pick a song from one of my favorite artists and just blab about them each day. I will be putting the original title (kanji included) and the romanji and the translated version aswell. I will also do this for the artists if I'm able to find them.
Today's song is:
優しい嘘 (Yasashii Uso --> Gentle Lies) --> Acid Black Cherry
I must say that this song is wonderful. The lead singer looks downright hot in the music video. I don't quite understand the video but it has two puppets controled by a girl and then the girl's father comes and she drops them. They seem to be alive tho because the male puppet wants to touch hands with the female one but isn't able to... All I do know is that this song is very powerful even though I don't know the meaning of the lyrics.
Anyways.. Good song and I hope that you get to listen to it.
As always... support the artists and buy the songs.
I know that there will be some of you that can't afford them for various reasons... the same with me. But I also know that Youtube has playlists that you can make once you get a FREE account. So enjoy the music that way before you can afford it. There are also ways to download the songs but I've stopped doing that when I found out how tough the life of a Scene artist is in Japan.
I honestly didn't realize before I read an article about it. I can't find the link right now... but i'll find it and post it with the next song recommendation.
Thanks for reading and I hope that everyone is able to afford the cd's at a future point in their lives if not right now.
