[@AFLO-INU]

DOLL＄BOXXは、PVひと目見たら 「もう活動してないなんて勿体無いんだ！」と誰しも思ってしまうバンドだと思うんだよ スゲーカッコイイとやっぱり思ってしまう

[@user-ci8hx9hr3u]

最近毎日聞いてる！！

[@yukipodo2381]

とても企画ものとは思えないレベルのPVだなー。すごいイイ！

[@farcry5692]

最後のギターソロ大好き！ フレージングもトーンも完璧！

[@8moryan251]

やっぱり全部揃ってるよなー。すべてのパーツが揃ってる。後は活動するだけ。

[@ikoumv]

Fukiの声ってインパクトあるなーーーー。スゴイ！引き込まれる~

[@loodkoods6]

アルバムに入ってる曲がことごとく突き刺さる

[@barryfox8464]

Love the contrast between Hana and Fuki vocals - great song

[@pillowy2177]

PLUS PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY!!!!

[@malikon6953]

Still in love with this era of the group. I wish I could get this album on vinyl instead of CD

[@actuallynotsteve]

how is this 10 years old, and we're just now finding out about it? The Japanese ladies have been killing it for a decade and us dudes in the west are still thinking Babymetal is as deep as it goes. I love me the Fox Gods, but there's so much more going on over there.

[@coleman707]

J-ROCK has been around for a while but I think the moment has passed. I hope I'm wrong but I think the peak moment was around 8 years ago. A lot of these bands have started breaking up and reorganizing and retiring and not a lot of new groups are coming on the scene.

[@MrChadbag]

@@coleman707 They're just coming into their own. Band Maid has been creatingt success after success. I've not looked recently but I think DOLL$BOXX have a relatively recent new album and Gacharic Spin as well? (Been out of it for a while with some heavy personal stress but revisiting and taking the time)

[@Jay-qh6uv]

The bassist is adorable "haha yay watch me kill it on the bass!"

[@rikspanks4074]

Jaylie Piatt She's one of the best bass players I've ever heard, and I've listened to a lot of them. I grew up on Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Joey DeMaio ... I've been playing bass for 30+ years, and Koga kicks my ass.

[@AnvilMAn603]

Rik Spanks she does slap bass as well which is bonus points in my book

[@opwave79]

That's F Chopper Koga! You're right, she totally kills it on the bass.

[@AnvilMAn603]

opwave79 somebody once told me shes known as flea of japan or japan's flea because of how good she is at slap bass dunno how true that is

[@opwave79]

AnvilMAn603 Cool!

[@biawa8726]

歌うますぎ！

[@餅たゃん]

復活して欲しいなあ😥

[@赤いツナギのさぢぃ]

ガチャ＋FUKI=最強布陣

[@rikspanks4074]

This is sincerely the BEST band I have discovered in a long time. F Chopper Koga! What a BEAST on bass!

[@anotherworldanothertime7717]

So, Sailor Mercury became a drummer.

[@DJUniMekaju]

Instead of a doctor. XD

[@kengrubiak1691]

Sailor Mercury wishes she was this drummer.

[@scottnichols6810]

I can listen to this album non stop. Any one of these girls could carry an entire band on their talent alone but all five together is pure awesome. Now, PLEASE do another album!

[@elkmaadn4007]

Scott Nichols Hey, check out their new album, titled "High $pec"...there are also some videos on VictorEnt.'s channel!

[@mylearningaccount]

Fuki (lead vocals) is amazing. Hana (drums) is beautiful and a great drummer/singer, But I'm totally in love with Michiko "F chopper" Koga. Not only an incredible, versatile, bass player but also drop dead gorgeous!

[@jones19968]

They all are..lol. And don't forget tommo on guitar. That smile while playing complex runs is infectious

[@Philson]

I NEED MORE DOLL$BOXX!!!!!

[@sonoriuxo2437]

Search for Fuki Fes 2017 in Fuki's website,

[@maartenotten7033]

Seriously one of the best songs i've heard in my life. These vocals are not of this world!!

[@Dreamachineries]

I think I'm in love with Hana (drummer). ;A;

[@murciavitoria]

Me too~

[@MoruganKodi]

She my favorite too =)

[@tiny.tuyaxiv]

Same.

[@pleasewatchdumbdumbbyredve24]

[@dianelysmartinez4763]

[@jinenji]

Hana ( drummer ) is such a babe. I'm in love.

[@nadia2883]

all are kawaii and kakkoi :)

[@Syou0n]

ガールズメタルバンドたくさんあるけど、Fukiのボーカルが凄く聞きやすい。バンドの実力あるしこの路線も続けてほしいな・・・

[@thatjkoguy]

I found out about DOLL $ BOXX two days ago. After reading up on them, I'm pissed I'll never see these girls in concert...because holy shit they are all amazing. Every last one of them.

[@1WEareBUFO1]

japanese bands are going to take over the world . you just watch.

[@dontaskhazel]

One of THE best songs in the whole world. Love this group, I wish they were on apple music or Spotify 💕💕😭

[@rikosborne1212]

After watching the full suite of videos for this album, in the correct order, multiple times, it became pretty obvious that these ladies were trying to tell a story and make a point via the videos. (I can't really speak for the lyrics, as I don't speak Japanese, and reading English translations of the lyrics doesn't make the lyrics match up very well with most of the videos). I've had some fun "interpreting" the "story", via watching the videos. Of course, musical interpretation can be a very personal thing, and everybody is going to interpret things in their own way. But here is my interpretation, how I see the "story". Based solely on the content of the videos, and the packaging of the CD (which I own), I have come to the conclusion that the band is making a satirical criticism of the way women and girls are portrayed and treated in the media/entertainment business. i.e. as sex objects whose only purpose is to generate money. They do this by showing a band going through various stages of its existence, and how the record company/the media manipulates everything into "more money" at the expense of the actual people who are making that money. Since I am commenting on this particular video, I'll forgo presenting my entire interpretation and focus on this single chapter in the larger story. "Monopoly" (incidentally my favorite song in the collection) depicts that point in a band's career where the singer's ego gets a little too big, and the "artistic differences" start to kick in. In the context of the larger story, I suspect that the singer's ego has been stroked by the record company. (I remember watching the "The Doors" movie years ago, and a scene where a record company rep pulled Jim Morrison aside and tried to convince him to dump the band and go solo.) While I mentioned above that the lyrics (at least in English translation) don't really match up with the videos, this particular song is the exception. The lyrics are about pure selfishness and ego. This video is a depiction of the lead singer clashing with her bandmates over "artistic differences" and deciding to "go solo". The video shows this by the four instrumentalists displaying "King" playing cards - they're all equally important members of the group. The singer pulls out and proudly displays a "Queen" ... and the end of the video show her alone and removing her Queen card from the pile of cards on the table.

[@brockenjr5706]

Hello, Sherlock

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

Dude don't bogart that joint. Your Mom told you not to do drugs. Sounds like you're not enjoying the music. Lmao.

[@capi1lope]

I'm actually glad that you described the theme of this album, Rik. I was never really clear on all the continuation notices between the videos. Some were fairly apparent, such as Fuki bringing the band together on the 5th track. A song and video that I didn't fully appreciate at first until I really took notice of Fuki's amazing vocals. My favorite track, Karakuri Town, obviously shows the girls under control of some power that they eventually attack with Tomo-Zo's guitar. Not really sure how Fragrance fits into the whole theme. Seems to be about either a lost love, or a girl very sad that her perfume is running out. Wish I had a translation for the whole album.

[@chaosmaxtcg]

Wow thank you

[@YoukaiFofo]

J-Rock vs Idols at this point

[@t1aoDC]

Every last one of these lovely ladies is amazingly talented and beautiful.

[@ろくろうた-d2j]

ひたすら全てがゴージャスで圧倒的ですよね

[@levonlangaigne8889]

Still in love with the drummer

[@samuelmangara1613]

Such a hair, such a voice, such a scream, such a Drummer.. I think i've been fallen for her style and voice..

[@overlyexcitedvegan]

Oh my god I am absolutely blown away by her vocals

[@kafeen8704]

She's singing in Unlucky Morpheus now

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

I am in love with Koga, the bass player!

[@BunBun299]

Not often you see the drummer as the secondary singer in a band.

[@kengrubiak1691]

I don't think I've ever developed a crush as quickly as I did for that drummer.

[@dustbunnyentllc5317]

their lead guitarist and the pianist are so gorgeous

[@locojazz5770]

I'm in love with the drummer!

[@YourGodStalin]

Yep, I'm literally in love with Hana...

[@Rollermonkey1]

New Doll$Boxx is FINALLY coming! It's being released this Fall.

[@ちゆ-p6q]

Bメロが好き！2:21　FUKIがカメラ目線になるとこ超イイ！！

[@DigitalFumino]

I have to say.... I'm an American Male, and this is the second song I've ever heard of them and was absolutely blown away by the first one I watched (take my chance), and now here I am again, blown away by their voices again, so good!

[@DigitalFumino]

I've never hit a subscribe button so fast!

[@cbilljones]

Im in the same boat, heard Take my chance then this. Now im listening to their other various projects... could be a long night lol

[@andyy2857]

+Mack Eroni if you like metal the main vocalist Fuki is in 2 other bands light bringer and unlucky morpheus

[@colmcq]

they broke up years ago, alas. The lead singer was also in Lightbringer who you might like

[@Greendog2401]

Youre not the only one, they're mind blowing dude

[@dollppelganger]

THIS IS INSANELY GOOD

[@Frellyouall]

I'm in love with the drummer, Hana.

[@user-blackcat101]

ぜひドル箱を続けてほしいです！

[@kakkoishonen]

Damn the lead vocal has an incredible voice.

[@wafiyudin6718]

That double pedal action tho😍

[@drop2881]

I generally identify as straight but damn Hana got me swerving

[@rickyfreeman8799]

She plays the mess out if that piano that's why she's my favorite

[@Trippy72Spore]

As much as I admire Hana and Fuki and the rest, the coolest member of this band has to be Koga!

[@origais]

Hana is just wow ! (as usual !)

[@RileyCurrie]

How do they manage to be that kawaii and that punk at the same time It's not fair

[@chaosmaxtcg]

Im a little late on this band 😥

[@officialpearlblock5964]

Same here haha

[@heavymetal.syndrome]

Likewise mate. 😂

[@willounet]

I think that's how everyone feels about this band. They're so unique and life-changing.

[@NothingLeft96]

This music just SCREAMS anime opening.

[@rmp0708]

the bass player is so happy its infectious

[@garnetz1731]

They know their cards. Love the melodic song. So cool.

[@karlacg6662]

Años que no escuchaba esta joya. La encontré buscando monopoly doll perfume (por fragance)... Jajajaja recuerdos bien guardados

[@ta2crew90]

ugh i can't.. pick a favorite.. i love them all for different reasons :'D

[@GuineaPigWWE]

A singing drummer? I've seen everything.

[@kattykattykat123]

GuineaPigWWE shes also the lead singer/drummer of the band Gacharic, you should check out their song spin.

[@GuineaPigWWE]

i saw it recently. Crazy huh

[@eugenewu1614]

GuineaPigWWE drummer and vocalist? two words: Shishido Kavka

[@sammumoo8186]

+GuineaPigWWE Skillet

[@saldiven2009]

+GuineaPigWWE Really isn't that much of a rarity. Phil Collins, George Harrison, and Dave Grohl were all drummers who did vocals.

[@Nurulain-vt2fq]

And now 2019 still in love with the drummer🙊❤️

[@Dtagcity]

Initially I didn't quite like their sound as its neither a consistent metal or even the raw grit of hard rock, nor is it consistently funky enough to make for an easy listen. But since I really liked Fuki's vocals I gave them a few more listens and weirdly enoigh, its starting to grow on me almost like a whole new area of my musical tastebuds has been activated specifically for these unusual blend of sounds. I'm starting to understand why some people are crazy about babymetal

[@DavidInSomnia]

My 2nd favorite song next to Take My Chance. Like this concept so much!

[@lghths]

dollsboxx is my second favorite band now!

[@KakashiHatake-dt5gk]

what's that supposed to mean

[@lghths]

What do you mean?

[@KakashiHatake-dt5gk]

lol that guy deleted his reply, nevermind

[@Greanock]

The Drummer is so beautiful a real dream girl!

[@HolyCrossCrusader777]

The lead singer is badass in this vid .....however, everyone here seems to like the drummer more

[@HolyCrossCrusader777]

Koga is my favorite too. I've been following her since her Pink Panda days

[@HolyCrossCrusader777]

Yep, the other girls from PP have all grown up (BLiSTAR) but Koga still has that youthful looks

[@dustbunnyentllc5317]

SamCrusader1 the lead singer is actually the drummer.

[@HolyCrossCrusader777]

Dustbunny ENT Yep in Gacharic Spin Hana (the drummer) is the lead singer, but in Doll$boxx, I'd say Fuki would be the lead, with Hana the second-lead

[@rikspanks4074]

SamCrusader1 There's just something awesome about a drummer who can also sing lead. People like it because it's so unusual. It doesn't hurt that Hana is a totally kick-ass drummer! HOLY F**K (self-censored) she's good!

[@rowdygrigsby1363]

I have the BIGGEST crush (I'm 27) on Sato Hana! I will learn Japanese and then start to make a wish to meet this amazing band! I am a huge fan

[@DrEisenhower]

I just came across this band 10 minutes ago and I can't remember what other music sound like. That's how good they are.

[@6hs2]

OMG, I'm in love

[@TristanTradgedy]

h8r grl Just... lol

[@dorandragon]

h8r grl asian fetishist gonna fetish. blue haired one with glasses is best because glasses

[@donkorte80]

dorandragon I miss geeky hana sometimes, esp the silly, crack koga up hana, but the glasses were never real. at least one pair had no lenses at all but they perfectly matched the high squeaky voice she was using back then to create the ultimate cute nerd,

[@mikewilson8054]

wow,' they are good and beautiful.

[@betternew4749]

1:29 they knew about china 7 years before we did

[@Yumerifter]

THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING they even have a clock that looks like the virus.......

[@officialpearlblock5964]

BWHAHAHAHAH EXACTLY

[@tRyOCKNROLL]

I just can't get over how amazing this song and video is. Its just so good i can't even contain my excitement! I love dollsboxx so much! aahhhh!

[@AlznP]

I have the album on CD, since it came out almost 10 years ago, nya nya

[@andyy2857]

damn I usually listen to death metal but this is actually pretty good I'm especially digging the vocal work

[@mikewilson8054]

GOD BLESS THESE SINGERS THEY ARE AWESOME.

[@jady5555555]

神バンドなんだが　復活しないかな・・・

[@小川健太-o7t]

最近、このバンドを知った者ですがもうすでに解散してる事にとても残念です 復活して欲しいものですね！

[@OCHI_TNH3...Twitter]

7年後から失礼します。私も今現在復活を待ちわびてますね。。 はなさんとFUKIさんのボーカル兼ね合いを生で見たいです。。

[@lindapolin6049]

the drummer rocks

[@holykrapya]

if the video was just about 2 frames earlier, the audio would match much better. Love this song

[@강태성-k1q]

i love you DOLL＄BOXX . it's nice metal rock band

[@LuluBanzai]

omg! Light Bringer is Fuki's old/main band and the other girls in this band has a main band called Gacharic Spin. This band was a temporary one if i heard correctly. check their other bands too you might love them though this band is the best of them all imo ^^

[@akMetallic]

Nicely done. Great sounding band!

[@anthonyjohnson8624]

You never record the video live, the mastered song is played over the top. Hell, even the live gigs get edited to sound better. This is true for almost every band releasing a video with very few exceptions.

[@MrLeeJiGun]

I fall in love with the drumer XD

[@Miwako_vklolita]

this is my fav of all the album. i love all of them

[@tomfriendly9422]

+Little Kumi Crafts mine too, Hana and Fuki's voices both sound amazing, can listen to them all day. XD

[@maxmillyenthelevitaterandf8048]

they are gonna be touring the U.S. in 2018 so yeah don't worry. you'll have your chance to see them in concert on American soil. them and a few other girl band's from Japan.

[@andyy2857]

link to this info or its not true

[@chaoticeiris]

Hana!~

[@EmmaOtero]

theyre soooo cool i love the synth and it all just meshes together so well! keeep it up ladies (: youre an inspiration for us all

[@donkorte80]

this is one of my favorite dollboxx songs though i like GS Winner even more. i play these two albums plus army's pure sex song ben.jan.dhan along with some favorite american stuff for 4-6 hours a day while i m driving my truck. after nine moths,,hasn't gotten old yet. also.. love the symbolism in the vids on this one: check out the cards; suits, colors and ranks heres a hint...koga's suit color on her closeup should be yellow not green.

[@warmonger8799]

IM IN LOVE

[@capitanokoizo3904]

このアルバムは奇跡的名盤。 ガチャピンはこういう音楽ばかりは出来ないし、FUKI嬢がガチャピンにメインで加入、てのも違う。 想い出のおもちゃ箱として俺の胸の中でずっと残っていく✨
