I guess I should give a better effort to uploading to this little, pathetic, weak, young rotation site. I wish I could. I solemnly vow to reduce my drama-watching time to only 1 hour a day and my homework tom 6 hours. (Not that I'd get anything done, but that's besides the point.)
It's almost midnight, and I shall get on with the music.
2. TRAIN
From Straightener's most recent album LINEAR, I bring you...TRAIN. It's a really good song, honestly. I started listening to Straightener when I found the whole Straightener-AKFG-ELLEGARDEN relationship. (Want to know about it? I'll talk about it some other day.) I vowed that I would dedicate myself to these three bands. If AKFG has the real Japan Rock sound, and Ellegarden's got the English Punk Rock sound, I don't know what Straightener has. Sometimes you can't make out Horie Atsushi's vocals (even if you know Japanese, honestly) but it sounds so good. If you see their performance of TRAIN on Music Station (where I first heard the song)....it's amazing. I like what they did with the camera.
In fact, I have some screencaps of the performance. I only took a few because...I like Horie-san. You should watch this episode. Perhaps if I can upload it to a nice file-sharing site, I shall share the love. It has いきものがかり (Ikimono-Gakari), NEWS, and a couple of other random people I forgot.
Woo, it's STRAIGHTENER. Hello! They had the coolest hair among all the guests. Haha. They also ended up looking pissed off half of the show. I dunno why. It's probably to maintain the rock image around those darn NEWS pretty boys.
Hello, Horie Atsushi. Those are cool sunglasses.
Another Horie Atsushi shot. Wooo. Look at the drummer in the back. That's some crazy hair.
And a note to hideki:
I found the more recent version of Fuyu No Sora and loved the stronger guitar at the beginning. A little loud, but fantastic. :D
Next update: Possibly March 23, this Friday.
