@Tokage I hate that I actually enjoy this. @少女椿 I like puzzle. 😀

Yes, since then i never found her stuff to download, and yes, she has the yukiko vibe

And one last recommendation, from what would be on my "best of 80s idol" mix tape

Always

when did this happen?

@Zeus

Oh I guess it's temporary for some reason I was thinking they disbanded. Maybe they'll be back soon. 

I went to lives in Tokyo and they only had a handful of fans who came to (almost) every gig.

But hopefully both will be on stage together again.

cursed

so good

h̶o̶m̶u̶r̶a̶ izumi did nothing wrong

Yeah it's not like anyone who posted here has any say on finnish culture or memes or anything of the sort when no one can even speak the language enough to know that this is a local celebrity who was a fortune teller, an alcoholic satanist and generally a joke and a meme to this day due to his appearances on public television. Imagine if I went googling some completely obscure Kenyan figure and then went on telling people how to feel about it.  

Okay so you're not a nazi. Just making sure. Happy birthday bro! Though there was that time you called for the eradication of all jews in the Naziploitation in Visual-kei thread. Just a (((joke))) I know. Jk. 

cut the bullshit everyone.

@Disposable has had this avatar for as long as I've known him and for as long as many of you have too. He probably has had the header photo for just as long. No one noticed any nazi connections until just today, and now people are getting indignant as if you knew all along? are you fucking serious?

no but like are you fucking serious? cut the public shaming.

maybe you can assassinate character everywhere else on the internet where you can still remain relatively anonymous without fear of repercussions, but not here. not as long as my name is green. use your brains people. disposable has been nothing but a good member on the forum and he has contributed far more to MH than 95% of the people reading this update. sometimes he is polemic but this is the internet, who is not? he has more than explained himself, he has not spouted nazi and/or pedo gibberish like some troublesome incel trolls we have had in the past, and i know disposable on a personal level better than most of you do. the staff is fine with both the profile picture and the banner. you see one nazi symbol and a meme and suddenly that erases 8+ years of activity? getting to know people on this forum actually means something. life is not so cut and dry. people are not so easily reduced to 140 character text bytes. learn to see the grays between the black and white.

some of you in here got twitter fingers like you're gonna go off and actually do something about it. you don't even have the ban hammer at your disposal. use the moderator function or send a PM next time if something bothers you.

and I told you people to also keep politics off this site. continue to categorize people into political parties and i will start jettisoning people off the site. try me.

@IGM_Oficial They did once with the rerecording of all the Gianizm songs. And a kinda sub-par cover of Jishou Shounen Terrorist.

Yes, but I'm talking about the real old songs, from their tapes and early Speed disk singles.

Oh right. Yeah it seems as if those will also never see any attention

He sounded his best during noble and jubilee

You're right, can't find them either... strange.

WTF?? 

Agree... i found the song itself generic too, the chorus kinda saves it for me and ecstasy is just lame lol

I'm listening to it on YT. I wish Kamijo relied more on guitars and bass and not so much on those cheap synthetic symphonic sounds. They're exhausting after a time and they don't really add quality to his music.

Japanese has its charm; no need for English; even less if he can't pronounce it decently. Part of the charm in listening to Japanese music is the language itself.

This CM is from 2015 

Really confusing... I thought I was on some Mandela effect type shit... 

I forgot it's a cover of another song but even the original doesn't have that part that is so obviously taken from Je Te Veux by Malice Mizer. 

Lol you are right the intro is basically the same

That version was arranged by Kozi, so I guess he was just feeling lazy that day lol

MH is NOT ready for me to slay the house down boots covering miyoshi seiji's miren bashi. 

a fave for sure especially after that full length 

I hope they can maintain it after jaki's departure, though.

I love love love them. One of my current faves no doubt. Agreed with the point above, though - hope they can keep the quality up.

Agreed

be careful because some people here think we have to "understand their side" and "respect their opinions" because free speech

seth's enka career is really taking off

but srsly tho I love this! ♥ we need more enka drag queens!

I love them I don’t care what anyone says.

I COMPLETELY AGREE!

They have TOO many bangers not to be. Sad to see how they've diminished over time though...

I think they are of a pretty high "Legend Status", so to speak, at least based on their success in Japan. They probably get a little less praise then you'd proportionally expect in the western fan world.

Every time I revisit Nightmare, I'm impressed at how good a lot of their songwriting is. Particularly, from like 2004-2008 I find, every album is full of really dense, but easy to listen to, tunes. I listened to Killer Show for the first time in ages a few days ago and I was amazed how much of a melodic contribution the bass was. Great bass lines and total earworm guitar solos on every track, it's crazy. Only thing that got a little annoying was how formulaic every track felt on that album, but you've got an album like anima, in contrast, which is full of some really varied and progressive tracks.

+1

I'm actually disappointed by Immortal Verses. I think it's only marginally better than Recurrence Of Hallucination because even though we get five "new" songs, they still sound recycled and partly copied & pasted from older SS or Hora's solo material 😔 Also, Kaya is a great singer but the vocals sound a little strange in the mix at times. Vocals should never invoke the image of "guy in small room singing loudly into a mic", at least not with such persistence as is the case with this mini. Where's Schwarz Stein's ethereal vibe? It's like they lost touch with themselves. Wachtraum is the only song I didn't want to skip on first listen 😕 

Hora's RESONANT on the other hand really surprised me. I was expecting the same old but he actually seems to have progressed a little sonically with this one. It's a very somber, moody, and atmospheric album. He seems to have borrowed a little from movie soundtracks and put his own spin on it which I really like (I was getting strong Disasterpiece ["It follows" soundtrack] vibes for example).

I kind of agree with you. My girlfriend is a big fan and didn't seem to be blown away either.  I agree about the mixing and everything. I don't feel like this album really makes up for the awful Kaya solo singles we've dealt with recently. 😔

I'll give hora's new album a try tomorrow. 

I wish...
