They just put out another song and video for it: Bite you

This one’s a bit heavier and more aggressive, but also still kind of fun. Really a band to keep an eye on!

That’s really a fun and catchy song!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the music video features SHELTER, the Shimokitazawa live house which gained fame as the IRL inspiration for Bocchi the Rock’s STARRY.

I didn’t know that one yet. It’s also great, thank you!

That band really seemed to have come out of nowhere with this song, at least according to their YouTube channel… It is a really catchy song though! Their subsequent releases didn’t become quite as successful, but they’re worth keeping an eye on!

This weekend is still going to be very busy, then it’s getting better. :)

I haven’t even fully watched the last concert BluRay I ordered (Band-Maid), so I’ve been putting off my next purchase. :D

I’m still slowly catching up with scandal so to speak, though to be honest mostly their “greatest hits”. It’s crazy how productive they’ve been through all those years. And altough not all songs are really my thing, they are definitely insanely versatile. And most importantly, they still seem to enjoy very much what they’re doing!
And that is actually one of the greatest appeals a band can have to me. Nothing worse than a veteran band where the members seem to be only in it out of habit or for the money but can’t seem to stand each other anymore.

Thanks for posting this! Actually I didn’t have a chance to properly listen to this until just now! The last weeks were just crazy busy for me, which is also why I wasn’t really active here recently…

But yeah, typically great song by Kaneyorimasaru I say! I wanted to write that it’s a repeating pattern with them to show young women going through heartbreak in their MVs, but after a quick scan through YouTube, the only other one I found is 26. That one just seems to have left a big impression on me. 😅

I just kind of want to post a MV with a happy couple to balance it out now 😁

Oh yeah, the whole idol business is pretty weird, and we won’t speak of K-pop here. 😆

But Babymetal is not typical of the idol industry, so that’s not my issue with them. It’s just that I somehow can’t really “connect” to music if its faces, the people on stage, are not the ones who actually play (and ideally also wrote) it. And idk, the dancing is just weird to me.

Musically, Babymetal is basically their backing band (Kami Band) IMO, and they are obviously very good. The idol/dancing aspect is why I personally could never get into Babymetal, that’s just not my thing.
