    The song itself doesn't sound bad. Reminds me of VelBet. But it's not the sound we would expect from Mamireta. I think most of us boarded the Mamireta hype train because they had that sound that was lost after Kagerou (Or Dezert's earlier work). But this song sounds generic by comparison. I wonder if it will have any harsh vocals. That other song on Kushami "囚人番号07番は愛した" just had one line with harsh vocals so we also can't say we didn't see this coming. Anyway, they're free to take whatever musical direction they want, but people who began to stan because of the "congested and drunk" vocals can also rightfully decide to get off board.

    Welcome to the official tutorial to create a Japanese iTunes account! Before you get started, make sure you have all of the following: ✅ An E-mail Address That Is Not Registered To An iTunes Account Something like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. I would not recommend that you attempt to use your iCloud e-mail address (if you have one). ✅ A Valid Japanese Billing Address From what I’ve read around, iTunes requires a valid Japanese billing address and they have a system that will check. While it’s probably against Apple’s terms of service, you can use public/business addresses. One user used J-list’s business address, for another account of mine, I used my Tenso mailbox. You could probably even use a Japanese Apple Store location. ✅ A Japanese Phone Number Requirement is debatable. Some people have claimed that they have used their own (non-Japanese) phone numbers, others have claimed to use a random string of numbers, or a 01 2345 6789 sequence… do whatever works! ✅ Japanese iTunes Gift Card I highly recommend that you use Japan Codes, because their cards are the cheapest, and they have a wide selection of cards for other stores, such as レコチョク. I also recommend OffGamers.com if you have multiple iTunes store accounts from many different countries. I use OffGamers to get cards for my UK iTunes account. One thing to keep in mind about gift code shops: Every single one of these shops claim to send out gift codes immediately. Some shops live up to this promise... sometimes. It really depends. Sometimes one shop will send out codes instantly, other times that same shop may make you wait a few days. Now that you have everything on that checklist, let’s get started… Open up iTunes and go to iTunes Store. If you’re logged into an iTunes account already, then log out. Then, scroll all the way down to the store homepage, and click on the flag in the bottom corner. It will take you to the region select page. When you're on the region select page, look for the Japanese flag and click it. Now you’re in the Japanese iTunes store. Some computers may display the store in Japanese. If that’s the case, then... 続ける = continue キャンセル = cancel 戻る = back 同意する = agree Click the Sign In button, then click the Create Apple ID button. You’ll get some Welcome to iTunes screen. Click Continue. Then there will be a Terms and Conditions page, check the box at the bottom, and click the agree button. Now, let’s enter some basic account information: Here’s where we begin to have some fun! Many people have trouble with this part. Don’t worry, you actually can skip the Payment Type part with all the credit cards, and just enter your gift card code below that. Enter the Billing address. I used From Japan’s headquarters in the picture above, and you could probably get away with using it, too. Click Create Apple ID and buy some Japanese music! Feel free to PM me with any questions or feedback.

    ジグソウ (Jigsaw)

    Making a thread for these guys since one hadn't been made yet, Vo.ブキミ (Bukimi) (it's Hiduki from fuckin dispina) Gt.マル (Maru) (Is also from Dispina, cause why not) ex-Ba.智依 (Tomoe) (Was in Dispina too but..Is no longer in the band causa some shit he did with a wallet) Dr.詩季 (Shiki) (Is Dispina's old drummer i think?????) They started out as とびおりくん (Tobiori Kun) which actually turned out to be ジグソウ who is secretly Dispina. PLOT TWIST. Basically this band is Dispina with a new concept and a new drummer and I love it. While not much has changed from their previous sound, it's more old school as in early 2000's visual kei and it's the shit honestly. Bukimi seems to be the "puppeteer" of the band, pulling the strings while they preform and I love it. I feel like they wanted to re-invent their stage presence but not completely change their nu-metal/ aggressive style. Funny thing is that the drums in Dispina and Jigsaw are the same if not similar drum sets? I'm thinking shiki may be their old drummer but then again I could be wrong. I wonder if Tomoe is gonna be back for that Joint Dispina live or is he fired from Dispina too? Lmao. So far they only have one Proper release, with about 10 live dist singles already. These 8 out of the 10 released, are all pieces to a Jigsaw puzzle. They are released on the consecutive numbers of each month following their Tour concept, DAY OF SHOWING THE SAME NUMBER. That tour title in mind, each and every CD contains a instrumental of the following months track so you can in short piece together the puzzle. Which is cool but fuckin extra. (example) (Far Left)少女TYPE /(Center) オレンジ / 痣(Right end ) 少女TYPE_B (06.06) ブリキのオモチャ (07.07) 痣 (08.08) SEAMLESS_SUICIDE (09.09) オレンジ (10.10) 無差別に降る雨は灰色 (11.11) 「もういーかい?」「まーだだよ」(12.12) GODLESS JUVENIL VEIN (01.01) (The ones in Italic have already been collected, please help me find THE REST SO I CAN BUY EM)

    #112: 覇道明王by 陰陽座

    | How does a band that delivers the same music for over 15 years defy expectations? Like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is that type of band that sticks to their guns and delivers the same style of music with each release. Also like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is the kind of the band that won't do much to change your mind, no matter how many times they come knocking at your door with a new sales pitch. When I was a J-music novice, I thought being one-dimensional was a bad thing because I rated diversity much more highly than I probably should have, mostly due to the way many visual kei bands use diversity as a musical condiment. What is more important to me now is that a band delivers every time they announce a new song or album. While the two visual kei bands I mentioned earlier haven't been the paragons of consistency, 陰陽座 definitely is. There's not an album in their catalog that I would consider sub par - this is impressive with a career spanning almost twenty years and fifteen albums - and their newest album, 覇道明王, continues that trend. I'll take the time now and say that if what you've heard in the past has done nothing for you, just listen to the first track "覇王". If that does nothing for you, you are free to go. I have nothing to say that will change your mind. If, however, you have never heard of this band before or "覇王" actually caught your interest, then welcome to what is perhaps the most metal album ever. This feels like, but also far outstrips, 2007's 魔王戴天 (Maoutaiten). 覇道明王 has zero chill, and from the opening piano chords of "覇王" to the fading guitar of "無礼講", 覇道明王 has the potential to keep you hooked without wanting a pause. Unlike past albums, there's no token seven minute ballad to bore you to sleep, or attempts at infusing disparate genres like pop punk and classic rock into their distinct brand of heavy metal. It's straightforward, punishing, rewarding, and everything I never knew I really wanted from this band. Whenever I finish the intoxicating experience of listening to a new 陰陽座 album for the first time, I always wonder how the next one will surpass this one. They don't always manage to raise the bar, but they never completely shit the bed either. The last four albums in a row have consistently impressed me, but I don't think there's an album of theirs that's clicked as quickly as this one. Unfortunately, I cannot give it a perfect score because I believe it's a tad overwhelming for an initiate to sit through without wanting a breather. However, I'm confident in recommending this album to anyone that likes metal with subtle Japanese flair, dual female and male vocals, or just wants something new to listen to. This is as good of a place as any to jump in if you are unfamiliar with this band.

    The mini album will cost 2700 yen and will be limited to 666 copies. Moreover, this is not a new look but one that they used for ENDLESS DEAD. 転化 is translated as tenka.

    I like the ethereal vibe in kyo's vocals but all those synths and effects kinda ruin the track for me, especially in the percussion department. I'm all for experimentation but a more organic sound suits them far more. I mean, they're very capable musicians after all.

    I started Ys 8 on the switch last week and it's really addicting. I love how well easily combat flows, exploration is fun(not overwhelming like a lot of modern games) and while it won't win any awards, the writing is decent to passable; anime tropes are present for sure, thankfully there's more to it the characters and they're mostly tolerable so far. There's a decent variety of things to do and it all gels really well and feels cohesive. I don't have a lot of negative to say about this game, graphics will be an issue for some as they are late ps2/early ps3 quality but personally I find them serviceable when in handheld mode. I tried playing docked for an hour and all of the games graphical issues are exacerbated, shading in certain areas has those blocky ps1 textures that looked bad in the 90's and slowdown becomes a problem. I've heard that the switch port is the worst in that regard though, so it's probably less of an issue on ps4/steam. I'm not too far into it, so who knows it could fall apart, but so far this is the best arpg I've played in a long time.

    #112: 覇道明王by 陰陽座

    Couldn't agree with you more. New Onmyou-za is always a treat and I thoroughly enjoy both their consistency and each of their releases. I remember hearing Kouga Ninpuchou way back when I was an un-learned weaboo and it blew my nerdy socks off. This album is no different – It's got plenty of power, and a lot more Matatabi than usual. Whereas I can get a little 'sick' of Kuroneko's vocals after repeated listening, he never gets old for me. There's just something about his very samurai-esque voice that works so well with the music they make.
