Have you heard of Matenrou Opera?
Matenrou Opera (meaning "skyscraper opera") was formed in 2007. Musically, their style consists of the combination of beautiful melancholic melodies and hard-edged metal riffs.. seriously, they are so cool! I recommend checking them out~
I can't wait for their new single to be released on the 12th of December! That's in a few days~~~
Here's one of their PV's.. seriously, i love both their music and visual aesthetics~ and sono's voice is absolutely gorgeous!! *fangirls over his voice XD*
And D'espairsRay recently released their single, HORIZON. The PV is not bad, and i quite like the song itself too! With this song, you can really feel how much despa's style has evolved over the years, or rather changed.. The sound has become somewhat more.. mainstream? I guess it's up to the preference of the listener to decide whether its good or bad.. I personally quite like the change. The second track of the single is Bullet. This song however brings back the feelings of the old despa, in my opinion. However, though more refined, and also featuring a bit of despa's new sound. I think it's interesting and also quite like this song. It's heavy and for me, quite reminiscent of their old days ^__^ The third track on the single was a classical white version of yami ni furu kiseki.. though i was interested to hear it at first, when i heard it i guess i was a bit disappointed. I found this version of the song a bit boring, and not anywhere near as beautiful as the original piece was.. =[
Here is the PV for HORIZON:
And lastly, i am looking forward to the release of vidoll's newest single "maimu". It comes out in a few days too~ (i think it was the 10th of december?? wait thats tomorrow isnt it =O) and will be released in 3 versions... theres a christmas version haha XD anyway, i am looking forward to this release, and i hope it doesnt let me down XD
edit: ah~ i made a mistake on the date of release for matenrou opera.. their new single LAST SCENE will be released on the 17th~ so thats a few more days of waiting =[ but, look forward to it!!
Well.. instead of studying like I should be doing... because of our stupid tenant who won't let me play piano until after lunch =__=;;.. i ended up looking for videos and finding jrock.. etc... And, I found the PV for D'espairs Ray's kamikaze (their newest single)!! Honestly, i had no idea they had a pv for this song.. so i was quite surprised, in a good way ^_^ I'm quite glad that it's not like their last pv, brilliant, where all it was was a live performance of that song =___=;;
This pv has some pretty cool effects, hizumi looks very very cool~ although, i think he might dance around a bit too excessively? oh well, all good! as long as i get to see him XD they also had lots of parts where you can only see the silhouette of his profile when he's singing.. and gosh..hes so hot.............. ^_^V
And might i add, that karyu's hair looks so fricken cool!! I don't really know why tho.. I love his guitar and guitar playing.. and his clothes are nice (i always love the clothes he wears ^_^;; )
And tsukasa's twirling of his drum stick was really cool~ I mean, some drummers do it but it doesnt look good, or it looks kinda strange or out of it.. but tsukasa made it look real pro ^.~
And zero's bass playing... is it enough to say its ALWAYS cool?!
Well.. i ended up saying the whole band is cool =_=;; which they are, so it doesnt really matter~
Although the pv isn't really that great for a pv... its still very nice to watch just to see the band members, (heck isnt that why we all watch pv's in the first place?) and i think it goes quite nicely with the song~
Like, in the beginning the pv has all these chaotic special effects that go with the song's title "kamikaze".. cuz it realy looks like there could be a kamikaze happening XD haha.. well anyway.. since im no good at writing reviews or anything, im gonna stop trying to make this a review, and just let you watch the pv for yourself ^_^
Hey hey! I havnt posted much lately, that it will be hard to keep track of my recent music choices...(i dont have a clue whether my sentence actually made any sense.. but hopefully you will understand??).. anyway, my favourite band at the moment will HAVE to be d'espairs ray.. i am in love with them!! their music is just.. so overwhelming yet beautiful (although.. beautiful may not be the correct word for describing metal bands is it..? but their music is beautiful to me ^___^;;; ).. Their recent album "mirror" was awesome~
Here are some d'espairs ray pvs:
My favourite.. SQUALL (its a beautiful song with a beautiful pv to go with it.. and hizumi looks absolutely beautiful~ and hot~ but yea... thats not the point.. tsukasa looks pretty damn good too haha.. well the point was, i love this pv!!)
A new vidoll song i discovered is also pretty nice.. and damn jui's looks cool in white xD its a very nice song.. i loved it from the first time i listened to it ^___^.. but.. im not really sure what to say about it haha.. im not so obsessed with vidoll as i am with d'espa >____<;;; anyway, here:
And that concludes my post today.. enjoy the videos.. and sorry for the..... uhh... fangirly comments on the videos haha~
edit: i just realized that i'd already posted squall a few posts back.. ohwell, its a good song, so im not gonna take it off this post haha~
Okay, my computer wasnt working rite, and now ive got a new cpu and motherboard, and now my computer works!! Im so happy!! Actually, i got the parts on thursday, and my brother and father put it together, and so i was able to use my computer yesterday! but since i had to load stuff from my back-up discs onto the computer, and also install programs, and then later got caught up in saving jrock scans.. i didnt exactly have the time to update my blog... Ohwell..
Today, I went to watch "Copying Beethoven" with my parents.. It was screened at the rialto, my first time watching a movie there.They're so fancy!! They have such comfy seats... but yea thats not the reason why i went there... Anyway, it was a good movie, i liked it!!
RUKA cosplaying Mello
I found these scans of RUKA (Nightmare) cosplaying as Mello (DeathNote) its really.. quite interesting!! When I saw them, i was like omg.. o.O?! Well, there were 3 pics, the third one really did look like mello, not so much the other two... anyway, here:
Death Note's Licensing
A few days ago, news came out that death note was getting licensed.. wen i heard that i was like.. NOOOOOooooooo~~ this means that i wont be able to watch it!! I hope i'll still be able to tho... just like how naruto and bleach are licensed yet still being subbed.. COME ON!! Keep those subs coming!! lol.. i shouldnt get too caught up in this.. its just anime....
YOSHIKI and Gackt and SUGIZO band..
Well, its past New Years and still have not gotten any update news about the bands status.. yet! I am still waiting, and will continue to keep waiting... Well, they did mention in the article that i read that they'd announce the band name and the remaining 2 members.. *getting anxious ><* Well.. there has been rumours in the jrock communities, about the 2nd guitarist being MIyavi. Now, from what i have heard it would not surprise me if he was. I did just a little bit of extra reading to fill in some of the blanks (in my head).... It seems that, Miyavi had recently just come back from a 4month stay in LA, and has announced on his video message (which has been translated by people.. and can be viewed on his site and youtube also) that he found an amazing guy and that he would like to try screaming in the background again.. (be in a band again, playing guitar, as well as continue his solo work). What makes this news very suspicious, is firstly, the fact that YOSHIKI LIVES in Las Angeles. Secondly, YOSHIKI IS an amazing guy. Thirdly, YOSHIKI is forming a new BAND. Fourthly, this band that YOSHIKI is forming, is currently needing another GUITARIST. And also!!! More info about this band is said to be revealed around New Years, (the band name, and the line-up), Miyavi mentioned that he cannot say who the other band members are... That is, what i think, super suspicious... Anyway, whoever the remaining members are, i sooo cannot wait!! this band will be debuting in america.. they're gonna be big, huge!! already are 3 legendary vk/jrock super stars...they're gonna be the ultimate jrock band!!
D - a good band to listen to if you havent yet already
Well, i listened to D for the first time, because from what i have seen of them in jrock scans, and what i have read about them from other peoples blog entries or comments, etc... they seem like a really good band. Well, i watched 2 pvs on youtube, and i have to say, yes they are good!! asagi (the vocalist) has a really good, deep, strong voice!! (thats always good to know, in my case) I only found out a while ago, that the "ASAGI" that was in the little magazine that i got with my nightmare dvd, is this ASAGI that im talking about. Aparently he has a solo project... i was just a little shocked at first, because wen i saw it, im like.. is asagi a band? they're not japanese *pointing at everyone except for the guy in the middle.. which now that i think back, is asagi...* gah.. im so stupid.. ohwell, atleast i know now! Anyway, ive kept on playing "Taiyou wo Okuru Hi " on youtube, over and over again.. i just love that song!! My favourite part is the guitar solo, i think its Ruiza that plays it? (not too sure.. but Ruiza is hot!!! and maybe hide-zou too?) Its a really nice nice nice guitar solo!! Here is the video:
It is a really nice PV, and an AWESOME song. I recommend this to anyone looking for new jrock music to add to their collection~ Well speaking of music collection, i need to update mine, i lost all my nightmare stuff except for 2 songs (the world and alumina) wen i got my new cpu and motherboard, because the hard drive wudnt work.. and so had to reformat the hard drive.. therefore lost everything i had downloaded within the last 2 weeks that i had the computer working (before it stopped working completely)..
Anyway, this has been a pretty long journal entry.. Its time to go, ja~
