I know people have an immediate knee-jerk for anything "AI"-assisted (they used an image gen and I think they're using a synth for the singing though it seems they've come a long way from the days of the original Vocaloids being the best!) but darn it, some of this producer's music is really good and this one lives rent free in my head almost every day:

CW: Kind of bloody imagery I guess? Not really any injuries or anything, just sort of there.

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.

Anyone in the #Seattle / #Tacoma area planning to see #Ado in July???

For #MoodMusicMonday I don't have a great one for a theme of "clarity" but I sort of felt like sharing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtvy9-PTy6k

The animation is really neat, the song is really catching, and, hey, the song's theme is basically "don't forget about me when the sky clears up." (Clarity, hah! Get it?)

I'm not quite 100% sure how to answer this #JMusicFriday theme of #ForTheNoob since the only thing I can think of to answer someone new to Japanese music would be to try to figure out what style music they like and suggest something I know of with that style.

I guess I'll go with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bNpHADFGTY

Many people who don't know much about Japanese music assume it's all the stuff they know about in pop. Especially they might think of the super silly stuff like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (who even made it into Simpsons...) I might like to introduce some people to the fact that there are all kinds out there, including this nice, somewhat grungy sounding rock, so I might introduce someone to something like this just to say "hey, it's not all silly pop!"

It's sunday, we need some happy stuff. Let's share some music.

For some weeks now i am absolutely obsessed with this song. I wanted to have this kind of music the past 4 years ever since i started yearning for old school city pop. It's not exactly old school city pop, but it's #vkei with city pop vibes. It's also the Ex-Plunklock singer (color me surprised) and the band has the most beautiful album covers ever.
