Alright, let's do this.... Thread of videos from the yama concert with my brother and @ojou last night, incoming.

BAND-MAID-"Daydreaming"

BAND-MAID shows a slightly softer edge, but still powerful

Well, @ojou came in BIG with the clutch move today: wanted to see yama live but it required a Japanese phone number, and phone (eTickets only). He answered the call and holy shit I'm so thankful for it because this concert was AMAZING.

Even got a good laugh from nearby audience when, during a brief downtime, I yelled out "この外人はヤマが大好きだ" ("Kono gaijin wa yama ga daisuki" - "This foreigner loves yama!")

Videos will be uploaded when I'm back on wifi, but here's a pic to whet your appetites :D

EDIT: Also I should add he's just a cool dude. Had dinner after, chatted a bunch, shared his knowledge of Japan, and more. Tonight was just all around fantastic.

This week's JMusic Friday has a theme of Summertime!

A bit early, but all right

Here's a great one.

Hanabie - Be The Gal (Early Summer Version) https://song.link/us/i/1695679182

This is probably the best sounding and most professionally filmed live version of this song that I have seen.

My favorite song of theirs, totally epic!

No one cares, but i need brain dump.
Last week, Kizu (キズ) published their new song 「R/E/D」. First as live video and then yesterday the MV. It's so heavy in it's meaning, that i actually cannot even grasp ALL the messaging. If Kizus attempt is successful, this might shape Visual Kei as a milestone.
So i am gonna make a very long thread about it. Analyzing whatever comes to mind.

Kizu's new MV is out
If you watch, i recommend to sit down.

Alright, where are my Tokyo-local #JPop / #JRock fans???

I want to attend the yama concert on Friday the 25th and need a) people to go with, and b) help securing tickets without a Tokyo phone number or address of my own.

I would go see Ado that night if I could but I figure that's a tall order since it's her world-tour kickoff and already sold out long ago haha
