morning whisper

La’cryma Christi – “Morning Whisper” (live). Beautiful acoustic opening followed by such wistful longing in the main verses. I couldn’t for the life of me remember the title of this song for the past five years! Till I saw the track list for their upcoming 4 disc compilation (argh, should I get it?) and my [...]

PV spam

Gackt’s Setsugetsuka. It’s a gorgeous PV of midnight blue and flying snow. Gackt is putting his voice to excellent use here, even if he’s having a bad hair day. Main reason why I got to this video is because the drummer is Tsukasa from D’espairsRay. The rest: YOU (ex-Cains:feel) on guitar/violin (some really pretty violin [...]

MUCC – Freesia

MUCC’s Freesia single is, as usual, a solid production.

Freesia, the title song, is usual epic MUCC; but very slick and probably sounds a lot more rousing live. The PV is astounding, with that giant wheel and the puppets on the instruments.
Freesia -Rhodesian Ridgeback ver. is a gorgeous, haunting piano adaption that I am [...]

single spams!

MUCC – Freesia.
The song is usual epic MUCC, but the PV is really astounding! Really love that giant wheel of time contraption, and the puppets on the instruments. Yukke’s styling is LOVE in this, and he’s on the upright bass XD
(p.s. the production is by ken of L’arc en ciel, hence the song sounds really, [...]

quarter of a century.

I woke up late on 24 October 2009, a Saturday for once. I was born on a Wesdnesday, child full of woe, which probably accounts for my melancholic song choices. Feeling rather headache-y and flu-ish, I only dragged myself out of bed to watch the Visual Rock Festival online. OMG. I’m ecstatic they actually managed [...]

almost forgotten.

Post call. I picked up my X Japan piano book (because the X Japan and DBSK piano scores are lying on top of my piano), flipped to a random page and met this song.
“Voiceless Screaming” – probably the only ballad by X that wasn’t written by Yoshiki. Music by Taiji (the previous bassist) and lyrics [...]

Plastic Tree: TENT concert

So I attended my first Plastic Tree concert: Tent at Nippon Budokan on 30 August 2009. The reason why I’m even in Japan at this time of year. It was rather nervewracking getting the tickets; shuui had to help me enter three ballots before I finally got one.
Headed out for the concert at 3pm. [...]

yasashii uso

Acid Black Cherry – Yasashii Uso [PV]Uploaded by _meg. – Explore more music videos.
Yasashii Uso. Another melodramatic offering from acid black cherry (ONLY Yasu gets away with such mush!), but it’s an absolutely beautiful PV nevertheless. The puppets just broke my heart, especially the boy puppet.
I’m leaving soon. Hope all goes well, and see [...]
