    Hey Lyaiera, you ever listen to The Pillows?

    And on a different note, something that's fascinated me for quite a while is the whole vocaloid thing, synthesized voice softwear developed in Japan, and some clever folks have been doing some vocaloid metal that is surprisingly good. :D

    No. Any recommendations on where to start with their stuff?

    I just put it on. I'm two minutes into the first track, The Pillows - Ride on Shooting Star. It really makes me think about how Japan has incorporated pop music into a huge amount of their music.

    I do love Abingdon Boy's School, they're quite cheesy and poppy, but they've got some fantastic songs :D

    Incredible guitarist alright, but did you ever hear Teru's band pre-Versailles, Aikaryu? Not the best quality, but:

    Loving Minus Jin-Say Orchestra (マイナス人生オーケストラ)

    Saw them performing with Girugamesh a few months ago and decided to go see them myself. Unfortunately, their studio recordings are lacking, since they're not properly signed. Their lives are ridiculously fun, though.:D

    Yeah, it's a great song. I think they've forgotten to release the full version video for The Unraveling though :pac:. Only 27 days to go, have it preordered :D

    Wow that main riff in the NB track is sweet!
    I just wish the screaming was a bit more audible and a bit less guttural but thats personal preference i guess :o
