Recommended Tracks: May 2016 Welcome back to our monthly digest of rockin' new tunes. Our review team has been hard at work trying to bring you the best of the best this month. We hope you enjoy! Now onto the picks! Note that not all videos may be available in your area. @doombox's picks: "Dandadan" by HEY-SMITH I couldn't help but to get swept up in the energy of this track. Even though the song is about ending a toxic relationship it's hard not to jump around and dance to this one. The video also drives the point home with the entire band attempting to woo a girl who in the end wasn't worth all the effort. The song is typical ska-punk fare those familiar with HEY-SMITH have come to expect through the band's 10 year career, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. The band spits out consistently great tunes! The dual vocal call-back style chorus of "Let it go! Go away!" I find especially catchy. If you haven't given HEY-SMITH a spin yet, this is the perfect time! "NOISE" by Beyond Her Words It's exciting to see the metalcore and post-hardcore scenes in Japan continue to pick up steam. There are still a new crop of fresh faces showing up every year and a lot of surprisingly good releases coming from them. Beyond Her Words got on my radar with their previous single earlier this year, but this time around "Noise" really showcases how solid they are. The clean vocals are a major plus since they don't need a second vocalist to handle them alongside the screams (like far far too many bands these days), and Taku's singing voice is on the deeper side in contrast to most of his peers. On top of their high-octane djent-heavy style, this has put them on the fast track to popularity. @beni's picks: "あぶく(abuku)" by 辻林美穂 (Miho Tsujibayashi) Tsujibayashi isn't just new to myself, but also to almost everyone else, surely. With only mentions/credits in her discography that goes to other artists' tracks in releases, such as Lovely Summer-Chan and Aoi Yuuki, Tsujibayashi comes out with her first full length album and what seems to be her only original source of material, "Clarté". It easily being one of my favourite albums of this year already, this spot was instantly taken just for her. The simplicity of the lullaby track, with splashes of synths to add a slight dreamy touch with the piano and orchestral interludes paints a beautifully tranquil scene, that similar to the almighty brilliance of the late, popular Ritsuko Okazaki and recent favourite from last year, Nasu Asaco. If you're also a fan of other soft, similar artists such as those I've stated, definitely be sure to check this delightful treat of a sweetheart out too to add to your collection! "堂々巡リ(doudoujunri)" by イトヲカシ (Itowokashi) This super exhilarating song is your typical Utaite dish, served to impress. It really is as it comprises of popular Utaite singer Itou Kashitarou, and his long time friend and well known Vocaloid producer LeftyMonster-P. Kashitarou already has plenty of brilliant covers and original songs/releases under his belt, but with this new collaboration between these two well established Vocaloid contributors, it's more than a welcome and deserving unity. On his own, Kashitarou has always provided a distinctive voice, with a quavering vibrato while LeftyMonster-P has given us original Vocaloid material from "START" and "さよならのかわりに ". Against the rocking quick pace of the song, it certainly ends all too soon and leaves you wanting more. No need to worry on that though, since you can already purchase their first mini-album 捲土重来 for five other songs completely their own! -Silver lining- by SWANKY OCEAN ACOUSTIX I thought the name was familiar, and in fact, this band is a side project of SWANKY DANK, a pop punk/rock band who are already distinguished in the scene. SWANKY OCEAN ACOUSTIX has been around since only 2015, and from the brief listens I've given to SWANKY DANK in the past, SWANKY OCEAN ACOUSTIX's existence is greatly appreciated since I adore how clear and appropriate Koji sounds against the chilling tune instead of their more hard hitting material in SWANKY DANK. Their English lyrics flow effortlessly in "-Silver lining-", and the whole sound is a joyful vibe to treat your ears to again, and again, and again. "woman's Rib" by 岩崎愛 (Ai Iwasaki) In just one play of "woman's Rib", the infectious tune continued to play in my head throughout the day. This little gem of a pleasantry is gifted to us by a rather little singer-songwriter herself, called Ai Iwasaki. The name is new to me but definitely not to our resident indie King @CAT5, who confirmed my suspicious of her being a long running obscurity; specifically in the indie scene. She plays the acoustic guitar and her first album was released a good ten years ago, back in 2006. While this is definitely on the poppier side of her work, you can discover her previous music such as another recent song she released this year here. If this sounds like its up your alley, or if you're more of a simple acoustic lover, anything Iwasaki is sure to be worth your attention! @fitear1590's picks: "She'll Never Forgive To Be Insulted." by a crowd of rebellion a crowd of rebellion are gearing up to release their latest album, Xanthium. If the "M1917" PV from March played it a bit too safe for you, "She'll Never Forgive to Be Insulted." brings back the crazy in full force. This song is a blazing mess, in the best way. As I've written in previous blurbs, there's something uncannily VK about acor's creative take on post-hardcore composition. In this track, they mix NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST levels of harsh vocal brutality with Kiryu-esque traditional Japanese kookiness. And somehow, it works! It's always neat to see bands with crossover potential and I think acor has what it takes to reach out to a certain sect of VK fans. "夜を抜ければ (yoru wo nukereba)" by odol Mellow indie rockers odol just released their second album YEARS. As much as I dig their music--their light piano style makes them sound surprisingly similar to ねごと (NEGOTO)--their vocalist occasionally has an annoying squawky delivery. I guess it only makes sense that I'm recommending quasi-instrumental closing track, "夜を抜ければ." Following a slow buildup, his vocals chime in near the halfway point of the song and actually, this is his best performance on the whole release! If you aren't so picky with j-indie vocals, then I highly recommend giving the rest of the album a spin as well. @emmny's picks: "おはよう(ohayo)" by DEZERT Ah, DEZERT and their love of trolling with live-distributes. If DEZERT have demonstrated anything during the past year, it's their ability to morph their sound with ease, pulling off every style that they try. This isn't anything different with "Ohayou", as they don a heavy newer-Girugamesh and western metalcore influence, twisting it into their own perverted creation. The creepy children on backing vocals and the eerie chord progression keep the signature DEZERT sourness and tension intact. It's not much of a coincidence that they're dropping their most accessible and catchy track to date on June 5th, the night of their Zepp Tokyo Oneman, but there's nothing contrived about it; it's pure DEZERT crack from start to finish. DEZERT are pretty much the underground success story of the indies circuit, and if you've yet to join the bandwagon, take a look at the banner at the top of the page and take the hint \m/. "faraway" by …。【サイレンス】(Silence) Silence isn't a new name in the scene, being around since 2011 as a side project of emmurée vocalist Sou, but they're still quite low-profile given the slow rate at which they release new material. Given the goth-rock pedigree of the members, that influence is still quite strong but Silence have lightened up considerably throughout the years, sharpening their older, more experimental sound to a more easily digestible and catchy alt/indie rock template with a thick gothic rock and nagoya kei leaning. psycho:lens, their first full-length album is a love letter to the 90's in that respect; think of shoegazey melodies and arrangements but with a bellowing vocalist and more shrill guitars. "faraway" represents Silence at the most hypnotic intersection of their sound; the rays of light piercing through blackened clouds, knowing full well it's for a brief second until the rain falls again. "after the addle apple" by the god and death stars After tracking aie's work throughout the years, we've all come to expect a certain sound from the amazing guitarist and singer-songwriter. Cue after the addle apple, a track-for-track remake of the (fantastic) god and death stars' 2011 debut mini album addle apple. Since his work with deadman, aie's known to play a lot with the concept of a remake but with after the addle apple, the remakes are borderline unrecognizable from their predecessors. The arrangements are uncharacteristically lush and adventurous, especially in the case of the title track, taking on an oddly funky turn with the addition of synths over a rhythmic backing track. The verses contrast with a beautifully delicate chorus, and the rest of the track flows effortlessly, ending with the opening line of the original song--a sly gesture, considering that's the only nod to the original. @Original Saku's picks: "ダンボール彼女(danbouru kanojo)" by ぼくたちのいるところ。 (Bokutachi no Iru Tokoro.) Great song by one of my newest loves, Bokutachi no Iru Tokoro. They play a really dirty indie rock style that just punches you in the gut from first listen, very enjoyable stuff for indie rock fans. The song "Danbooru Kanojo" starts off with some spoken words singing style from the vocalist Jinsei Dame Ko that I've fallen for hook, line, and sinker. Jinsei commands this song with her vocal style and she is the driving force throughout the song. I would also like to take a minute and talk about the production as a whole on this song and the rest of the album for that matter... It's good, like really fucking good. You may not be able to tell from the YouTube video below but the mixing and production is great here. It delivers a very explosive sound that doesn't lose any momentum from bad mixing and can be cranked up loud while just enjoying the tune. All in all a great song and a great album with lots of variety and catchiness from this up and coming indie group. "DON'T WORRY BOYS" by Homecomings Next up we calm down with the indie pop sounds of Homecomings and their song "DON'T WORRY BOYS" from their new album SALE OF BROKEN DREAMS. This song is the definition of chill out feel good music that this band is known for, while this sound and type of music is a dime a dozen among the Japanese music scene, you won't find better execution of the genre anywhere else. At the core this song delivers a up-tempo progression with swift verses and delicious hooks. All in all the perfect song and album to just relax and let the good mood vibes flow into you. "卒業(sotsugyou)" by My Hair is Bad Okay now we'll go for a change from the last two songs and introduce the newly major debuted band My Hair is Bad who plays a alternative rock style that has really got me excited for what they have in store for the future. "Sotsugyou" is the ending song of their new single Jidaio Atsumete so it's a bit less in your face as the first three song on the single but it overall showcases the band's strengths. In particular the vocalist Shiinoki TomoHitoshi (椎木知仁) really impressed me with his range and ability to switch between spoken word vocalization seamlessly into the more traditional singing you might expect, I also just really dig his voice. The song has its fair share of low and high points throughout that really does a great job of closing the single out, I particularly enjoyed the acoustic guitar strumming sections of the song and it paired up quite nicely to the vocals for a almost folk-y atmosphere. "勇気を持ってグッドバイ(yuuki wo motte goodbye)" by イロメガネ (Iromegane) Now we come to another new discovery for me this month in Iromegane and their/her new album 37.2℃. In particular the opening song "Yuuki wo Motte Goodbye" captured me from the first moment I listened to the album. Immediately I was delighted by acoustic guitar strumming that lead into the wonderful and serene voice of Higashi Ayu. As the song progresses it ramps up and turns into a fun rock ballad that makes you want to dance with the tune, then starts to die back down at the end. Truly a fun and catchy song, which also like the rest of the album has some amazingly clear production and mixing. Speaking of, the album itself is also just as praiseworthy and I would say has a really nice variation in styles and influences, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the variety of different sounds used in the album. "overground" by cinema staff It's no secret that I'm a really big cinema staff fan, hell I've bought most of their albums and they are probably one of my most listened to bands. Eve is their 5th overall album and their 4th major album. Most indie fans would say this is the point where good bands lose their way, but surprisingly that has not applied to cinema staff and I've only grown to enjoy their music more with each release since their major debut, this album is no exception to that either. "Overground" is quite possibly one of my favorite songs from them in quite some time and has quickly infected me with its insanely catchy chorus and instrumentation, along with snappy verses that pound on your ear drums. It's worth mentioning that it is also the last song on the album and closes it out, and by god I couldn't think of a better way to end a album. cinema staff has delivered again with extreme precision and knocked away any doubts in my mind that they might be 'losing their way', here's to another five albums! "時間は告ぐ(jikan wa tsugu)" by Siraph Siraph is a band that seemingly came out of nowhere for me, but I'm sure glad they did. Consisting of members from School Food Punishment, ハイスイノナサ (Haisuinonasa), mop of head, and the delightful Annabel on vocals. Siraph took me by surprise this last week with their self titled debut EP and I've not been able to stop listening since. It's no big surprise honestly when you consider the members who make up the group. "Jikan wa Tsugu" is just one of the six tracks that make up the debut release but by far it is the one that most reminds me of SFP while also treading new ground and making it their own. Annabel on vocals is just sublime and really sets the song off on a one way track to my heart. Combine that with the great performance from Masayuki Hasuo on keyboard and Yoshimasa Terui on guitar and you can just tell something really special is happening here. "atom" by jizue The wait is over and we finally have another jizue album to sink our teeth into, fans of the instrumental piano driven group know all too well what a new album means and the delights that it brings along. It was a long wait this time around since they skipped 2015 as a whole but let me assure you that it was every bit worth the wait. If "atom" is any indication the band has delivered again that piano driven post rock sound that we all love; they are in top form in this track too. From the first second of the track the piano just explodes in a flurry of keys and you can really tell that Kie Katagi is really enjoying herself here. The song as a whole is just one wild piano driven ride that is backed up masterfully by the other instruments, all to come together at the end for a huge bang. The name of the album is Story and after listening to it in it's entirety I can say that it's one hell of a tale. That's all for this month, see you next time!~

My hand-wronging.

http://www.vox.com/2016/6/1/11787262/blade-runner-neural-network-encoding Awesome facts from this article: It makes me wonder...if you can train A.I. to recognize video can you do the same for audio?

I'll be reporting to the best of my abilities from the second leg of the vulgar tour, osaka and forward. So please look forward to that!

best satsuki solo moment ever tbh

Hello, fuckers...

changes.

New preview. I'm working in a full cover of SINK, by 9GOATS BLACK OUT. Inst and Vocals XD

dynamite tommy: won't retire gracefully

All these comments and no "bar mitzavla"? Have huge hopes for the first jewish-kei band.

BERSERKER was my least favorite song on the album already. This video is maaaaybe the worst thing I've ever seen Satsuki do..

That Berseker video is fucking awful it's embarrassing. It actually makes me cringe. Did he just cram a bunch of Europeans in a warehouse and get up on stage with no band behind him? Really? And he's not even making an effort to look like he's doing the growling parts.

This is how I reacted: When I watched the preview, I was like: "Holy shit, this sounds promising, look at this perfect lip sync, those awesome facial expressions, this voice and lyrics." When I finished the whole song: "Why did I tried them?..."

Weren't Athena's Slaughter terrible? That being said, cornering a girl in a tunnel and then burping "wewewewewewewwewe" at her is some MOMA-tier performance art

This band should be renamed to "Qeddeshit".

Post up a pic of your handwriting on a piece of paper, or a wall, or someone's arm, I don't care. Anything to show it off! Feel free to share whether you love the way you write, or if you wish you could chop off your hands lol. What do you write down? Hmmm..... How about "I love Monochrome Heaven!" I'm curious to see how everyone's handwriting looks like. I'll start. I was told I had impressive handwriting for a guy. Lol.

welp. it's been awhile. happy to be back on track. I think all legs of this tour should belong in one thread no matter the gaps. also band's newest single, Utafumi is expected to be premiered live. let's see if the tour brings any surprises. tour schedule: TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of VULGAR] 2016/06/03 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2016/06/04 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2016/06/11 【宮城県】 仙台PIT 2016/06/12 【宮城県】 仙台PIT 2016/06/16 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2016/06/17 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2016/06/19 【岡山県】 倉敷市芸文館 2016/07/01 【東京都】 新木場STUDIO COAST 2016/07/02 【東京都】 新木場STUDIO COAST + 2016/07/04 【東京都】Zepp Tokyo (Additional Show) TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of DUM SPIRO SPERO]台湾 2016/09/08 Legacy Taipei, Taiwan 2016/09/09 Legacy Taipei, Taiwan TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of DUM SPIRO SPERO] 2016/09/16 【京都府】 KBSホール 2016/09/17 【京都府】 KBSホール 2016/09/20 【東京都】 中野サンプラザ 2016/09/21 【東京都】 中野サンプラザ 2016/09/23 【長野県】 ホクト文化ホール 2016/09/28 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2016/09/29 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2016/10/02 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2016/10/03 【大阪府】 なんばHatch TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of 鬼葬] 香港公演 2016/10/28 KITEC, Rotunda Hall 3, HONG KONG TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of 鬼葬] + 2016/11/07 【神奈川県】 CLUB CITTA' [MALE LIMITED] -｢a knot｣ & ONLINE only- (Additional Show) 2016/11/08 【神奈川県】 CLUB CITTA' [FEMALE LIMITED] -｢a knot｣ & ONLINE only- (Additional Show) 2016/11/10 【埼玉県】 大宮ソニックシティ 大ホール 2016/11/13 【北海道】 Zepp Sapporo 2016/11/17 【香川県】 サンポートホール高松 大ホール 2016/11/20 【福岡県】 福岡国際会議場 メインホール 2016/11/22 【愛知県】 名古屋市公会堂 2016/11/23 【滋賀県】 滋賀県立芸術劇場びわ湖ホール 大ホール 2016/11/26 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2016/11/27 【大阪府】 なんばHatch + 2016/12/05【東京都】新木場STUDIO COAST 2016/12/06【東京都】新木場STUDIO COAST ROTTENGRAFFTY presents “ポルノ超特急2016” 2016/12/25 Kyoto Pulse Plaza TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of UROBOROS] 2017/01/13 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2017/01/14 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2017/01/20 【兵庫県】 あましんアルカイックホール 2017/01/24 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2017/01/25 【大阪府】 なんばHatch 2017/01/29 【静岡県】 静岡市民文化会館 2017/02/03 【広島県】 はつかいち文化ホールさくらぴあ 2017/02/05 【山口県】 スターピアくだまつ 2017/02/10 【東京都】 東京国際フォーラム・ホールA TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [Mode Of THE MARROW OF A BONE] 2017/04/05 【宮城県】 仙台PIT 2017/04/06 【宮城県】 仙台PIT 2017/04/08 【北海道】 Zepp Sapporo 2017/04/11 【大阪府】 Zepp Osaka Bayside 2017/04/12 【大阪府】 Zepp Osaka Bayside 2017/04/14 【石川県】 金沢市文化ホール 2017/04/18 【愛知県】 Zepp Nagoya 2017/04/21 【東京都】 新木場STUDIO COAST 2017/04/22 【東京都】 新木場STUDIO COAST 2017/04/26 【大分県】 大分T.O.P.S Bitts HALL 2017/04/29 【沖縄県】 沖縄ミュージックタウン音市場 THE GREAT ROCK'N'ROLL SEKIGAHARA 2017 2017/04/15 【CHIBA】 MAKUHARI MESSE International Convention Complex ANDROGYNOS 2017/07/07 -A View Of The Megiddo- (DIR EN GREY / PIERROT) 2017/07/08 -A View Of The Acro- (PIERROT / DIR EN GREY) TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [Mode Of MACABRE] 2017/07/15 【高知県】高知県立県民文化ホール・オレンジホール 2017/07/17 【大阪府】グランキューブ大阪 2017/07/18 【大阪府】グランキューブ大阪 2017/07/21 【愛知県】Zepp Nagoya 2017/07/22 【愛知県】Zepp Nagoya 2017/07/25 【東京都】中野サンプラザ 2017/07/26 【東京都】中野サンプラザ 2017/07/31 【東京都】Zepp Tokyo (Additional Show) 2017/08/03 【福岡県】BARKUP FUKUOKA 2017/08/05 【三重県】伊賀市文化会館 TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [Mode Of Withering To Death.] 2017/09/02【京都府】ロームシアター京都メインホール 2017/09/03【京都府】ロームシアター京都メインホール 2017/09/08【宮城県】トークネットホール仙台(仙台市民会館) 2017/09/10【北海道】Zepp Sapporo 2017/09/15【愛知県】Zepp Nagoya 2017/09/16【愛知県】Zepp Nagoya 2017/09/18【大阪府】枚方市市民会館 2017/09/23【大阪府】なんばHatch 2017/09/24【大阪府】なんばHatch 2017/09/30【岡山県】岡山市民会館 2017/10/03【東京都】新木場STUDIO COAST 2017/10/04【東京都】新木場STUDIO COAST 2017/10/12【東京都】Zepp Tokyo -｢a knot｣ & ONLINE only- (追加公演)

if you could pm me then it would be appreciated, good luck with the rest of the cover ^>^

IT WAS (sorry) FUCKING HARD TO FIGURE IT OUT. I was playing Versailles and then, I did a chord that resembled Sink and I was like "WAIT, WHAT IS THIS?....." Then, I discovered this song is played a half-tone down (eb Bb Gb Db Ab EB) and I listened the beginning several times until I could find the notes. I already have the tab until the first chorus, if you want it, I can send to you~ Just need to add the guitars/bass

Well, since it's just a preview, there's A LOT to work yet XD...didn't liked this clean tone at all, I will re-record the guitars... 'Bout the tab, I'm doing one for the drums and effects, but I could add the guitar/bass as well. Can't say it'll be 100% since I'm learning by ear, haha

oh my god I'm crying at him making a living nowadays by scamming plus sized lolis

Dem covers: A-type: B-type: C-type: I'm late, I know that

i love these forums...deg thread friends UNITE

Just leaving this here as a staple of any DT thread.

SPAM AS FUCK

the new dir en grey song sounds amazing

nice lyric.................. and great facial expression

Jesus Christ. I posted this review to encourage people to fucking buy it because it's a good single worth buying. And if you like the band but aren't going to buy it, here's a heads up: the new release is good. It was like ten bucks at the zoisite online shop. They ship overseas. Everyone does have the same access. Are you seriously asserting that someone would write a review to brag about having ten dollars?

According to tanuki this is the guy who is doing support drums atm https://twitter.com/Haruka_Drums and the latest gossip is that Kuura (ex GOKIBURI) will take the place as 2nd guitarist https://twitter.com/loxonin_bassmen i dont know if this is only backed up by the fact that he did attend their live some days ago or not, i guess time will tell

ユナイト(UNiTE.) & ALIVE 2-man live "結空(yuisora)" at Shibuya REX at 2016/04/25:

haha this will be fun. one sec.

Bumping this dead topic with some new goodies from @Minami. The vocalist isn't even holding a microphone...

About the blackface thing: seeing how tsuzuku’s and Ryoga’s make up are executed I wouldn’t call it blackface at all. Blackface is a very well defined term (even though some oversensitive “everything offends me!”-yelling people disagree) and comes with certain characteristics. Just slapping some black paint onto your face is not blackface. Blackface is meant to make fun of black people. so it comes with the wearer exhibiting manierism, that are ignorantly associated with being black, such as painting very large, red lips, wearing clothes of a jazz musician or hip-hopper and using a specific body language. None of this applies to these two. I agree though, that this happened a few times with K-Pop musicians who dressed up as rappers.
