Split BoB formed up in high school in 2011, and celebrated graduation by releasing their first album, which went to number 1 on the Tower Records charts immediately. The first track here is from that album, 2012s forget-me-not, followed by I can not become a star, also from their debut. They currently have released 3 mini-albums, 3 EPs, and 4 ablbums, which you can find in all the usual places.
It has been a while since I last posted tunes by My First Story, but they have a new mini-album called LET IT DIE coming out. They just posted REVIVER, which is the second song from it this past Wednesday, and it has already crossed the 300,000 views mark and keeps heading up. The title track from the mini-album is the theme song for a game of the same name which is coming out for the PSP4. I also threw in last Decembers hit Last Call, from their 4th album ANTITHESE.
Vivid Undress is a J-Pop band who just put out their 3rd mini-album, and the first song is I’m Not Menhera from that release, posted online on June 15th. The 2nd track, Urala, was posted on March 31st, while the third is Coelacanth Dance from mid-2016. These give you a place to start, but they have many more tunes worth checking out.
Or perhaps the new track from Fukuoka prefecture Art-Rock band Polkadotstingray might be called Synchro-Nishika, but however it translates it is the title track from their first mini-album and was just posted online last week. I am also re-posting Electric Public which hit the web in February, both excellent songs.
It came as something of a surprise to me when I realized I have never done a post on Man With A Mission, the famous wolf-headed J-Rock band. Today I am going to correct that by posting a few tracks, but if you like what you hear be aware there is a lot more to listen to. The first track was posted two days ago, Dog Days and was produced by MWAM and Masayuki Nakano of BOOM BOOM SATELLITES fame. The second track is Dead End In Tokyo from January of this year, and the third is their killer 2015 hit Raise Your Flag. Normally I stop at 3 tunes from any one band per posting, but the bonus track tonight has two bands; Man With A Mission share the ring with American rockers Zebrahead for this 2015 rock anthem Out Of Control.
It has been a while since I have featured Bump Of Chicken here, so I thought I would share a few tracks released since my last posting. The first track this time around is called Answer the theme song for the anime Sangatsu no Lion, AKA March Comes in like a Lion. The second is called Ribbon, both were posted this April, while the final track is Go from their Stadium Tour 2016, recently released on DVD.
