So when is Leda gonna stop fucking around and reform DELUHI? Aside from his BABYMETAL gigs, it's his most successful project to date. He has no problem dabbling in anniversary releases of DELUHI content if it nabs an extra buck, and he still occasionally works with the ex-members of the band who are also not doing anything as interesting as DELUHI. Juri's solo career? ARKHELISM? LMFAO. No one gives a fuck about any of that. DELUHI come back and record the debut album you were always meant to. -

Their mixes always had the electronics and vocals so loud in the mix, that the guitar and rhythm sections - which were the best aspect of their sound - drowned out. Their recordings really took away from their potential. While I love the talent Leda has, and with Sujk behind the kit and Keita holding his own - they should have executed better - but they never seemed to compose a record that really took off. At this point, I just want Leda to keep making heavy music with solid heavy vocals. I hope that he ends up back in a band with a heavier theme. -

1 pointZZZoo is a super-group comprising of members from indie bands such as Z.O.A., Zeni geva, dip, Redrum, and Bacteria. Their first album was just released on bandcamp after having been only available with a download code when buying a t-shirt at their concert. https://thezzzoo.bandcamp.com/ This is definitely an album for fans of space-and-krautrock circa the 60s and 70s. Here are the liner notes from the bandcamp page: HUMAN ZZZoo 人間動物園(にんげんどうぶつえん、「民族学的展示」「人間の展示」とも)とは、19世紀から20世紀にかけて行われた、社会進化論や人種差別、進化主義、植民地主義に根ざした、野蛮・未開とされた人間の文化・生態展示のことである。。みたいなw wikiより HUMAN ZZZoo Human zoos, also called ethnological expositions, were 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century public exhibitions of humans, usually in a so-called natural or primitive state. It became of theme for this album...maybe lol ZZZoo "HUMAN ZZZoo" 1.Henry(music : Kazuya Wakabayash) 2.Oscar(music&lyrics : Kazuhide Yamaji) 3.Reynard(music&lyrics : Kazuhide Yamaji) 4.Tereshkova(music : Kazuhide Yamaji) All Arranged by ZZZoo Kazuhide Yamaji : Gtr Seiichirou Morikawa : Ba&Vo DEN : Per KAZI : Dr Mitsuru Tabata : Gtr Kazuya Wakabayashi : Sax Recorded by ZZZoo at Studio Noah, Takadanobaba, Tokyo 5th January 2019 Mixed by ZZZoo at Mr.T-ST,Kodaira, Tokyo 11th January 2019 Thanks to Kiyohiro Takada

"Inspiration" - where does music find it?
Jigsaw9 reacted to Peace Heavy mk II for a post in a topic
Hide - Dice This song has probably influenced dozens of other artists, but two examples I noticed almost immediately: Candy - GIRU Namely the outro-guitar riff, which matches up with the introductory riff of "Dice." (between 0:02 and through the first verse. It's a little hard to notice at first, as Hide sings over it) Penicillin - Nightmare Before Christmas The next one is a bit less direct, but I do not think accidental either. The main chorus of "Nightmare Before Christmas" is comprised of two melodies, and the latter has an extremely similar vocal rhythm and progression to "Dice's." Compare the snippet I start the following video with with 1:04~1:12 of the first video. What I think is most interesting about this example is that they didn't actually write this song -- it was composed by Media Youth's vocalist for them because they were besties in the mid-90's. Someone set them up the bomb -

Songs that make you want to twerk or dance
ajisaii052 reacted to Gesu for a post in a topic
L'oiseau Bleu by Moran! It makes you want to dance more if you watch the video, because Hitomi shows off his (actually really bloody good) dance moves. Song is until 4:17; the rest is just some promotional stuff with spots of the PV. Also, I made the current GIF in my signature from this video~ -
1 pointWell, duh. This disband better mean DELUHI is getting back together.
-
1 pointYeah, I love me some Hate Forest. Criminally underrated band with the band's entire discography being really good. Purity and Sorrow's my favorite albums by the band. Never really though of Darkthrone while listening to the band, but I always got a strong Immortal-feeling from the majority of the releases, and especially Battles in the North. Kinda sounds a bit like Battles in The North mixed with several of the the BlazeBirth Hall bands like Branikald, Forest, Rundagor, Raven Dark and Vargleide.

1 pointI could be speaking out of my ass, but I really don’t know that Justin Bieber or One Direction is really a fitting comparison. I think the jist of what you’re going for is right, but I’d say it’s less because they don’t care about the lyrics at all and more because they can literally just go out to the lives pretty much whenever or go sing at karaoke. Yes, it’s about pretty faces, but a lot of the music really taps into teenage angst, too, and that is very deliberate. Very pretty, unorthodox men that are singing and saying the things that I’m not supposed to say about myself - at least that’s my experience with gya in a nutshell. One size doesn’t fit all, of course, but...

1 pointI wouldn't say "despicable"... Considering VK is marketed in Japan, the type of audience, the importance seemingly irrelevant stuff like Furitsuke plays in VK culture, the whole hierarchy systems implemented among fans, it doesn't surprise me much. VK bands are marketed as somewhat exotic boy-bands and aimed towards teen girls (remember Kizu's first teaser messages). When was the last time you saw teen girls in the west go into deep analysis over Justin Bieber, One Direction or whatever boy-band's musical prowess? Nah, they care about the lyrics being relatable and the music "dance-able". It is us foreigners who care deeply about the music. And I am sure plenty of Japanese fans too, but probably they won't discuss it where it won't really matter, since social media seems to focus on more shallow discussions. I can't say these are facts, my experience in Japan is limited and I do not live there, though I know many people who do and I've heard from many that most gyas don't care about the music. I've even encountered foreign gya who didn't seem to care about the music either so it wouldn't be exclusive to Japanese fans.
