JMusicFriday's theme is songs from 2023 and... I can't possibly go down to just 3. Almost an entire year's worth of songs, so I'll pick 6. Even that's hard!
Luckily, ThePop already chose Bae's Boom and Ado's Show, so that makes it a liiitle bit easier to narrow down.
I generally don't like covers but this one is so well executed, with an orchestra!
ofc I expect nothing less from Hazuki who is the #1 LUNA SEA fanboy. I also appreciate his choice to cover Forever & Ever bc it's not really a "popular" ballad in terms of LS lore, most people would default to I For You or Gravity.
SUGIZO of LUNA SEA appeared on Mie TV yesterday to talk about his musical roots, his encounter with rock, the path to his major debut, and the charm of jazz!
LUNA SEA will be holding their DUAL ARENA TOUR 2023 in Japan, where they will play MOTHER and STYLE for 2 nights in each city!
This is a throwback to TOUR 1995 MOTHER OF LOVE, MOTHER OF HATE TOUR and TOUR 1996 UN ENDING STYLE!
October 7-8: K-Arena Yokohama
November 4-5: Marine Messe Fukuoka
December 2-3: Xebio Arena Sendai
December 16-17: Nippon Gaishi Hall Nagoya
December 30-31: Osaka-jō Hall
This is a late post but hopefully people will remember them for their contributions to the Japanese electronic music scene. Thank you Akira Complex....
I could never bring myself to like GLAY though I know they're a much, much more popular band and I grew out of Laruku too. I'm just really into LUNA SEA's atmospheric vibe that they still retain despite fans complaining not liking their newer output. To them I always say, you're the one who have to grow up to appreciate their new songs!
I have to say...
I'm a little worried about a Japanese singer... I've seen some weird change of moods...
I hope I'm wrong, but I pray God that nothing happens to that person. #Japan#JapaneseMusic#Prayers
This JMusicFriday's theme is idols and the person organizing it said we can choose more than 1 and went for 3. I'll also go for three. I could go for more, but if I do, I'd just spam a bunch of Vtuber and BanG Dream songs :GuiltyChuckle:.
Hopefully BanG Dream counts just fine. It's more bands than idols though, I guess?
So while I was on Calckey, I made this one post that I'm still curious to hear answers to. Since I didn't have my followers there, and I assume they haven't seen it unless they follow one of the hashtags I used, I only got one answer. As such, I'll be copy pasting that post here below:
What is everyone's favorite song from this current season of anime?
For me, while there are songs from Summer 2023 that I have to listen still, so far my favorite is definitely the ending to It's MyGO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuUZjdiUCj0
It's so good! Up there with my favorite Bandori songs!
Thanking Gawr Gura for introducing me to this song!
As a note, it seems like this song in particular doesn't stay up for long on Youtube, as this video, too, was only uploaded last month. And there's no official version as far as I could see. So if you happened to find this post at a later time, the link might lead nowhere, but surely by that point there's going to be yet another reupload.
Finished the second cour of #eightysix the other day, because I was reminded on here that it had a second cour :blobfoxcrylaugh: (Split cours are still the worst.) The ending song "Alchemilla" introduced me to Regal Lily, who I'm liking a lot! I've been listening to them all day :mmikudance2:
