iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	have some album recs for bands I like (albums are ones to start with usually rather than bands' best albums) ART-SCHOOL - LOVE/HATE (alt. / indie rock, my fav band) RADWIMPS - Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to (popular Japanese rock group with some really unique and jamming tunes) ELLEGARDEN - ELLEGARDEN BEST (1999-2008) (classic early 2000s pop punk / alt. rock group) THE NOVEMBERS - Rhapsody in beauty (shoegazey, sometimes super heavy sometimes super ballady band but they're always great. album is their latest and it's pretty abrasive but just really cool) LOSTAGE - DRAMA (alt. rock) Sakanaction - DocumentaLy (electronic rock. check their songs Endless and Sayonara wa Emotion first maybe, amazing tunes) the pillows - Fool on the planet (alt. rock, this best of album is amazing) World's End Girlfriend - The Lie Lay Land (electronic, experimental, neoclassical, pretty out there but I couldn't not include him) Ling Tosite Sigure - just A moment (indie rock, post-hardcore leanings kinda) SUPERCAR - HIGHVISION (electronic rock, album is a classic, check it out) downy - Mudai (1st) (experimental rock, amazing band, definitely check them out) Clammbon - Imagination (art pop?) OGRE YOU ASSHOLE - homely (prog. / alt. rock) toe (math rock, another one for you to definitely check out if you haven't already) i got a lot more if you want, hmu if you ever do
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	aw yeah I forgot Melt-Banana they're essential. their latest album was absolutely killer
treeqt. 01.27.15	could you not make your list ugly as fucking shit i mean it's partially sputniks fault for being an ugly as fuck site but damns on you gotta work with what you have
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	if you're talking about my post, i don't care at all
Supercoolguy64 01.27.15	"Kr/A/sH!" by Copass Grinderz is really good "Kocorono" by Bloodthirsty Butchers is also pretty sweet
Nikkolae 01.27.15	thanks space, i've listened to worlds end girlfriend before (dunno why i neglected them here) but everything else i have never heard of them, also is it me or do japanese bands have the funniest band names sometimes? haha
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	I also feel like someone else is gonna say this but also KASHIWA Daisuke - Program Music I
treeqt. 01.27.15	that's just you and it's just one guy
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	yeah they have great band names and capitalisation haha. also agree with the guy who rec'd Kocorono
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	@treeqt Program Music I is crazy popular on this site sorry
TalonsOfFire 01.27.15	Dir En Grey
treeqt. 01.27.15	man you're so slow honestly
Angelboros 01.27.15	Buck-Tick - Kurutta Taiyou, 13kai wa Gekkou The GazettE - Dim (the band's only album that's certainly worthwhile) Kanon Wakeshima - Lolitawork Libretto Miyavi - Miyavizm Luna Sea - Image Nightmare - The World RULER That's all I can think of at the moment. My throat's dry; my face is numb.
trve 01.27.15	intestine baalism - banquet in the darkness
Jasdevi087 01.27.15	Advantage Lucy - Anzu no Kisetsu Ling Tosite Sigure - just A moment Number Girl - School Girl Distortional Addict Buck-Tick [2] X Japan [2] Luna Sea [2] Nightmare [2] Supercell Advantage Lucy is the only one I can think of that sounds like anything on your list though.
Avagantamos 01.27.15	kashiwa daisuke - program music I [2]
AnimalsAsSummit 01.27.15	Luna Sea - Image [3] probably the best album from japan i've yet to hear
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	so people on sputnik really like vk or just in this thread? weird
Jasdevi087 01.27.15	There are a couple of us that enjoy a couple of bands that fall into the vk trend. Most of them are still awful though, but not all of them.
treeqt. 01.27.15	nah all of them
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	yeah i can feel that, im not into it at all but never delved deeper than listening to like one band during high school. vk isn't just like an image but a style of metal im guessing? though once friends of mine started singing this straight-up pop song in karaoke and the members were vk af just in a bright poppy way
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	Dir en grey are technically vk right? They're good
Jasdevi087 01.27.15	Dir En Grey are vk yeah. Vk isn't necessarily a distinct style of metal necessarily, it's more of a movement and there are a couple of sub-movements within it. Like Dir En Grey isn't Luna Sea isn't X Japan isn't Malice Mizer isn't Plastic Tree isn't Buck-Tick. However a lot of the newer wave of vk just rips off of Dir En Grey or Versailles which technically gives it a sound to some extent I suppose.
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	I listened to Plastic Tree before, not my thing but Nemureru Mori was a cool song
Ryus 01.27.15	fushitsusha [2]
iamamanfromspace 01.27.15	"droning psychedelic rock, with elements of space rock and noise rock mixed in at times" sound like it could be sweet
dimsim3478 01.27.15	the pillows the pillows the pillows the pillows the pillows
