推し活ご苦労さまです

GG GG GG! just listed to Lament by Magistina Saga really well played but not for me.

Hi sll cant beilieve i missed th zepp shows.

W8 until u see the live one 😊😊

Sorry guys if I'll write in italian cause my english is too poor to explain what I want to say. You can use google tramslate, anyway... Questa non è una canzone facile al primo ascolto. La struttura è molto complessa, e ascoltando Ryan che parlava dell'intervista a Kanami, non ho potuto fare a meno di paragonarla a Beethoven. Non sto scherzando. Il suo cervello lavora esattamente in quella direzione. Se prendete per esempio il primo movimento della quinta sinfonia, Beethoven ha un "riff" facilissimo di 2 note "TA-TA-TA-TAAA" e un tempo ancora più banale. Poi, sembra che il riff sparisca del tutto quando il brano si sviluppa. In realtà rimbalza come su uno specchio e torna rovesciato all'ascoltatore, per rimanere poi nascosto nei bassi (infatti solo i contrabbassi lo eseguono in maniera molto sottile, quasi impercettibile). Kanami lavora così. Grazie per l'attenzione e Buon Natale a tutti.

I love you guys❤ Greetings from Florence, Italy

a letter worth reading again !

Regarding voice acting: she has perfectly mimicked machine voice (like from mailbox or automated hotlines where you press buttons) on her radio show before

Dih is high quality and the singer is off the charts

Great reactions, thank you. Actually, Girl's Talk was released between Otaku (early 2024) and Metamorphosis, but was not included on the EP released Dec. 4th.

🤘🇺🇦❤️ Hanabie 🥶🌸

In 2025, Hanabie will go on a joint tour of the USA and Canada with Kim Dracula and Crystal Lake. 25 cities.

Wakazaemon has been a studio musician for years and basically always has been a hired gun. She even plays live in Marty Friedmans band and has been for years. Her joining East Of Eden was an anomaly. She recorded with Koiai and played for them live, but that doesn't mean she is joining them. That said, I would love to see her play more with Kanade Sato. As far as Rolling Quartz goes, my biggest issue with them is that it always looked in their videos that they cared more about the looks than the actual music. They look/act like Pop musicians, not rock musicians. I heard they are good live though and from the little footage I have seen I agree, but the music videos and behind the scene stuff always looked to me like a K-Pop band playing rock instruments constantly looking into the camera so that it doesn't even look like they are actually playing. I will check out their newest track though, because while I can not say I am a huge fan of what I have heard before, I have always thought the growth of their band is a very good thing for both Korean Rock scene as for Japanese Rock and Japanese Pop in the West. The more people are used to the idea of listening to bands from outside English speaking countries, the better. I honestly believe that both Japanese pop/rock and Korean pop/rock can change that idea, there are also a couple of Chinese bands that I have seen pass by as well, so who knows. As far as Korean rock bands go, I have always prefered DIH who unfortunately had to quit/split because of money issues. A couple of other very good Korean rock (punk) bands include "Rumkicks" and "Drinking Boys And Girls Choir" who are labelmates of Otoboke Beaver.

La teoría de que ado es una del grupo de Phantom sita 🤯, es Genial!! Aunque ado es especial.

Hettsu Hettsu Hettsu!

I'm not one who usually comments on fashion. But gawd damn, those were some sick kimonos that they were wearing!

Champ's assumptions were correct about the backlash that the Beatles got, especially when the band was starting to rise & gain more fame, from their meager beginnings as a local pub band. The older generations did not like them, first starting with the haters in the UK & then also in the US & other parts. These people were even picketing. They preferred music genres from their own era & rock music was stirring things up. Being that Rock music was still new back then, originating in the late 1940s & earlier, it was considered rebellious & devil music (which I guess still applies today, heh), even earlier during the time of Elvis in the 1950's, where parents were concerned for their teens fangirling over Elvis when he shook his pelvis, i.e. Elvis Pelvis. The Beatles were also often associated with the hippies, beatniks & counter-culture movement of the 50's & 60's, which was a movement that also appalled many people. When the Beatles started growing their hair out by the early 1960s, called the moptop hair style, this also offended people who traditionally wanted men & boys to look neatly groomed. So the hate stemmed from the more traditional older generations & from competing fans of other rock bands of the time, something we still see today as new music artists continue to crop up & get their own group of haters, time & time again. Even if you have only 2 fans but you still have 1 hater, or if you have over 100 millions fans (like BTS, for example, the biggest band in the world these past few years & also coming up soon), yet you still have 1 hater, that is 1 hater too much in both situations (BTS has tons of haters themselves due to jealousy & xenophobia). To paraphrase an old saying from 6 centuries ago, "You can't please everyone". I grew up listening to the Beatles early on due to my parents as fans & I have since inherited the Beatles vinyl albums from my Dad (RIP). 12/15/24

Champs friend had to have seen them with Jinjer. Jinjer is my favorite band followed by Hanabie. Jinjer fans gave universal praise to Hanabie. For those that do not know Jinjer is an extreme, djenty, progressive band. Hanabie crosses borders.

I have the everything VIP ticket for Toronto for Rolling Quartz. Looking forward to meeting them again and seeing a full concert. Hoping to see Bridear next summer too. I also have Ado tickets.

Dude, I'm one of those nasty dudes touching Mayu. 😉

To think how young they still are too. Yukina 25, Hettsu, Matsuri, and Chika 24. Though Hettsu & Matsuri are turning 25 in about 10 days. 🎉🥳

Wakazaemon has a big tour coming up with Marty Friedman

Agreed that Hanabie. have incredibly wide appeal. From old geezer metalheads like me to "kids these days." Matsuri is a genius of a composer/arranger. Her edge-of-chaos arrangements are unreal. A lesser composer could try mixing in all those change-ups, tempo shifts, instrumentation, and more...and it would all dissolve into an unlistenable mess. Matsuri's land every single time.

I've read an interview with Rolling Quartz's manager Han where he said they could for sure go heavier and have the talent to do it, but are aiming for a sound that can still have crossover appeal in a K-pop-saturated market. They are doing super-impressive tours for a young band operating out of a tiny basement studio in Seoul. I'm a huge RQ fan (seen them live once and already have tix for two shows next year) but they are far from the only Korean rock band worth checking out. Ryan knows, I've requested a few on livestreams. For example: Walking After U, Touched, Kardi, Yudabinband (YdBB), Guckkasten, Danggisio, Vincit, DIH (currently on hiatus), Jaurim, SynSnake, Audios Audio, Messgram. K-rock often emphasizes skilled vocals, groove and melody more than sheer heaviness and breakdowns, which is right in my wheelhouse.

🤘🤘

She did kick someone's phone out of their hand BUT the guy was being a creep and trying to take video up her shorts.

Thank you for the video, it's impossible to keep track of all these bands. I really appreciate you guys!

Junna was totally overplaying in Trident. Hagane proves they can match her intensity. This new song seemed tailor made for Junna and also has some of the best guitar solos I've heard in years.

A very creative band, easily my favorite song from HANABIE.!

The GG guys seem to have underestimated the amount of content from Phantom Siita. They have released 6 MVs in the last five months and have an EP out right now with 7 songs. Just to show how big they are already; they have a world tour scheduled including six dates in the US, one in Canada, and a bunch in Europe. That's not bad for a group that has only been around for five months.

Sometime within the last year Yukina figured out how to project and put power behind her harsh vocals. If you even check out Hanabie's interview on Roomic she has to pretty much eat the mic to get her harsh vocals heard. Compare that to what she did in the interview shown here it's pretty apparent. With Roomic if she could actually project like she can now she would have just used the lapel mic instead of bringing in a dedicated one. Emily used a lapel mic when doing interviews and demos with Japanese harsh vocalist coaches so I would Yukina would have used one if she was able.

Alao the production of the video from costume design, cinematography and choreagraphy is stellar. For me it makes me hear the song dfferently.

Shout out to the band for requesting more reactions from Alan.

“Doesn’t follow any kind of norms, and maybe that’s what people are liking” I like the contrast they add, between the different vocals, the distinct changes in the music within the song, and just having something cute get balanced with something different, all of which keeps things from feeling monotonous. My interest is then maintained, and I think this explains part of what I’m liking from it. This degree of variation isn’t really the norm either, which can then help them stand out more.

I agree, this is one of their best songs. Great production. Cool riffs. Changing up the vocals to keep it interesting. Hanabie doing Hanabie, basically. Y'all need to react to the new Hagane, Start Our Journey. They threw down the gauntlet with that one. It is in contention for song of the year with KOIAI's A New Picture and Nek!'s Get Over, in my opinion.

load of shit

This band just keeps getting better 🤘

omg!! You interviewd them!! Thanks!

LOL Champ... those are some thic drums! Sae was a good drummer but there was an obvious personality clash. Chika's personality seems to click with the band, so hopefully they're done looking for a permeant drummer. We Love Sweets was always my go to for introducing Hanabie to people but I think this is going to be the new go to song!

Me, seeing the title: the fcq you are! Didn't you learn not to mix red with white wine? (an hour and something later... this amazing song is gonna be your doom) 🤣

🤟

Is the vocalist leading?

The Japanese are very good at Horror!!

I loved her in the Daisuka Kurosawa Project X Japan covers. Just don't leer at her. She is a beautiful lady, plays left-handed. Unusual in Japan.

A trashy idea . BabyMetal sold out to commercial-ness when Yui left. And there is something fishy and something wrong about Yui getting pushed out of the picture. Something suspicious about the Amuse Corporation and its secretiveness re Yui. In any case,it is simplistic to the point of infantility to think that mixing all good things together would be a grand idea! ..Would you mix all the colours in your paintbox because you like each of them indivisually ? You;d get the muddy mess you'd deserve. Leave what's left of Babymetal in Vegas where it belongs.

It's pretty clear that she doesn’t quite fit in with East of Eden and has left the group. She seems to be enjoying herself more while working with Lisa X. Marty Friedman also seems to admire her bass-playing skills, which is awesome.🤘

As of yesterday Wakazaemon has officially "Withdrawn" from East Of Eden, presumably to concentrate on KOIAI. They have some new live dates coming up so plenty to rehearse- She was reading from a tablet in their first live Blu-ray.

That's dark af. I love it.

champ calling yukina, sukina.
