- Question -

My last post was about a Korean pop/hip-hop group... And got plenty of comments saying they prefered the Japanese-bands posts...

So wat do you say? Should I post more Korean bands or more Japanese ones?

Thanks for all the support and comments so far! I finally reached 3000 views by the way, and it's all thanks to you guy! ^^



Another one of my wife's drawings ^^ please say something about it, will you?

Band - GD & TOP

Alright, from now on I'll also start posting Korean bands/artists.

As you probably know, Korean leading music-genre is Pop so be ready for some pop groups xD

First song I'll post is from GD & TOP titled "Baby, Good night"

GD & TOP was a collaboration album released by G-Dragon and TOP from the Korean band BigBang.
G-Dragon is the leader and vocalist of the band while TOP is the main-rapper.

Enjoy the video and chill up, it's a calming and slow song!
(GD is the black-haired one thats fixing the blanket for the girl right in the begining! isnt he adorable? ^^)

Band - The GazettE

Well, this is not the first time I post The GazettE, so I won't talk too much about them.

This is one of their 2007 PVs titled "Chizuru" which was also featured in the OST of some drama/horror Japanese film..if I'm not mistaken

The song is slow and emotional, pretty cool for what I'm feeling right now, so here you go guys, and hope you enjoy it too!

Band - Dir en Grey

Dir en Grey are a Japanese rock/metal band formed in 1997, Japan.

This time I'll share two songs, they're from their latest album Uroboros (2008) and they're titled "Glass Skin" & "Toguro".

So the members are Kyo (Vocals), Kaoru (Guitar), Die (Guitar), Toshiya (Bass) & Shinya (Drums)

If you have read this far, it means you are somehow interested so did ya know that Kyo is pretty well known for his vocal-range?

He REALLY has a ridiculous vocal-range, you might wanna check more of their songs. (Cause in these, he doesn't "show" his complete potential)
 

Band - Coldrain

Coldrain are an Alternative J-rock band formed in Nagoya, Japan 2008.

Their style is a bit different than the other bands I've been posting, they're a more "hardcore" approach and their looks are more punk-ish, to say so.

Now, you're probably wondering "lol is this japanese?"
Yes it is xD they were formed and live in Japan, but the Vocalist is half-american ^^ (living in Japan too)

You guys should totally check them out, cause it's worth it!

Masato (Vocals), Y.K.C. (Guitar), Sugi (Guitar), RxYxO (Bass) & Katsuma (Drums)

This song is named "Rescue Me" and the PV is just delicious :3 Enjoy!

Vivid are a band formed in 2009, Japan. (JAPAN AGAIN, I know..xD)

They're a pretty cool band with a pretty addicting sound but they're still pretty recent so I wonder how they'll "grow up", for now they seem to be doing pretty well ^^

They have plenty of songs that I like, but this one seems to be the most appropriate to share since it has a PV in HD on youtube!
