IQ

The name of the band itself gave a very pretentious impression. “This is intelligent music!” Well, there is some depth to it, I must give them that, but I still couldn’t grow to like it.

A clown in Roppongi

I only found out about Slipknot’s percussionist Clown coming to Tokyo on “an emergency visit to Japan”. I figure he had to come to sort out some details about their November Knotfest in Makuhari (an event I’ll be very sure to attend). There was a “talk show” with him in Roppongi this night, but it was quite the letdown.

Something fishy

I never heard anything from Fish before this album. I looked into what and who Fish is, and listened to a few songs he did as the vocalist of Marillion back in the ’80s (and I wasn’t impressed). That was a bit of a surprise, because A Feast of Consequences is very different.

Into the Maelstrom

Bigelf’s new release, while not a concept album, focuses on the central element of sci-fi, with space and time travel showing up at every corner.

Straight out of hell

Last year I wasn’t really paying attention to anything music, so I must admit I didn’t realize that Helloween released a new album. While Straight From Hell didn’t impress me much at first, it’s by no means bad.

Tücctücc

Volt egy idő, amikor el nem tudtam volna képzelni, hogy önként és vidáman “tücctücc” zenéket hallgassak. Aztán közbejött Japán, és közbejött egy shibuyai egész éjszakás diszkózás.


Pentakill

I might be on pretty bad terms with League in general, but the Pentakill original album Riot released a while ago is a whole different thing.

Underline media franchises

The other day I was riding the train to the suburbs of Tokyo with a colleague to pick up some cuts for the show in production, and on the train I saw this (maybe junior high?) girl reading a book.

Now, I thought, what can make a kid read nowadays? I can rely on my own experiences in the matter even less that with other stuff, since when I was junior high age, my favorite book was (drums, please) Tolkien’s Silmarillion. Note that wouldn’t change until I discovered Neil Gaiman after I entered university.


力強い勇気で

今日研修中いつの間にか鼻歌で「力強い勇気で」を歌いだした。実は何の歌詞かもわからなくて、帰り道でクグッたら氷菓のOPだってわかった。帰ってからYTからずっとその一曲だけを流している。

手を伸ばそう いつよりも力強い勇気で!
