Topic: Foreign Music...

[TheouAegis]

Hirasawa's style is very simplistic. I like his instrumentals he composed for Satoshi Kon more than his actual songs. His music has a nifty sound, but once you've listened to 95% of his music over and over, you realize he has no variety in his music. He's great for soundtracks because the individual phrases are so great. If he just included more phrases instead of repeating the same three over and over, I would like him even more. And I'm referring to P-Model as well. P-Model and Hirasawa's solo projects suffer from the same repetition that so many other modern songs suffer. AABABCABB is so overused, these days.

Now, this is a real foreign music:

Good sir I one up you with this


テイルズオブイノセンス　主題歌　「Follow　the　Nightingale」






and ( since my mother is from belize these kinds of dances and forms of music should be second nature the only problem is that this happens once in a blue moon in the US if my memory serves me correct.This is a very special occasion and I remember it being so long I believe it's called carib settlement day I have only experienced it once. One thing I like for instance are the colors their wearing yellow but other colors are worn for instance my family wore blue in fact I still wear my blue headband around the house and if it is really hot I would wear the shirt I wore on that day it is in my closet somewhere I think it fell of my hanger.  I need to know more about my belizian heritage heck all of my heritage like learning garifuna)

I see Moi Dix Mois was mentioned.

personally I dont like Mana's Moi Dix Mois work that much anymore. It all starts sounding the same after a while... He really isnt that good at metal. He should stick to the kind of music he made in Malice Mizer.

For example, on Moi Dix Mois' recent album, D+Sect, this is the best track of the entire album for me.

Moi Dix Mois D+Sect In Paradisum

and its only a few seconds long.

Personally, I think Moi Dix Mois lost a bit of its touch after the whole band roster was changed. Whatsis name, Juka, had a far better singing voice than Seth. but he decided to leave, what can you do there.

Speaking of Malice Mizer though-

Malice Mizer - Beast of Blood

Malice Mizer~Bara ni Irodorareta~Seinaru Toki Eien no Inori

Malice Mizer (Live) Rondo of Love and Sadness

Malice Mizer- Gensou Rakuen

I mostly listen to music in english, hardly ever in italian and latin.

Actually, I find the whole Juka Seth thing pretty funny.
Juka Left M10M to work with Hizaki with both Hizaki's band (before Versailles) and on his solo Project, eventually he has his own band now named VII-Sense

Seth, Still with M10M also Vocals for Art Cube.

It makes full circle now that Art Cube and VII-Sense made a Collab mini- album call Art Sensation featuring a song from each Band.


Personally, Kozi From MM carried over the feel from MM in his solo project.

I always thought mana was really channeling Malice Mizer into Moi Dix Mois with the first lineup. Juka especially was really reminding me of Klaha.

Speaking of which, Klaha hasnt really done anything since what, 2004?

oh yeah, the Juka Lineup was awesome, it really did feel like a sorta evolved Klaha era Malice Mizer.
I just Wish one day I could get an evolved Gackt era sound...


Klaha, It's a real shame he hasn't done much since I really dig his solo albums.

[Flame]

He has an AMAZING voice. Its actually somewhat of a shame that his solo work doesnt utilize too much of his operatic voice.

There are only 2 singers that I consider to have sexy ass voices. (no homo)

One is Atsushi Sakurai of BUCK-TICK, and the other is Klaha.

Hanoi Rocks - Tragedy

Hanoi Rocks is a pretty good Finnish glam metal band. Think of them as the Visual Kei band of Finland!

[Abnormal Freak]

I guess right now I'm listening to some "foreign music." ;) My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. Love this album, EXCEPT for "I Only Said". That obnoxious piece of shit can go to hell.

This is the obvious fave:

MY BLOODY VALENTINE - When You Sleep (lyrics included, 1991)

Actually, "I Only Said" really only sucks in a room filled with all sorts of other loud noises, like when I'm working. It's a pretty cool headphones song.
