Another music post! Feel free to download any of this. :) I picked all j-rock this time, so beware if that's not your thing. Or you could be openminded and listen to it. :D
Glay - Winter Again
Glay is an excellent band with tons of talent, and one that has apparently been around for quite a while. This is a very laid back tune with a good beat that starts off calm, and escalates into an almost light-rock song; slightly folk-ey, slightly blues-ey.
Siam Shade - 1/3 Junjou na Kanjou
Included on the seventh Rurouni Kenshin Opening and Ending CD, is this sweet, though extremely sad song. Hideki's higher, nasal voice blended with his perfect pitch makes this an enjoyable song, and extremely fun to sing if you can find the lyrics. :) Just remember, despite the tune, it's not a happy song.
Duel Jewel - Anmaku
An indie-ish jrock band, Duel Jewel has a few good songs here and there, and this is one of them. Hayato has a lovely, rich voice with a flowing vibrado that performed this song beautifully. Despite being a visual kei band (because I think most VK bands have little to no talent), this is definitely a good song if you're willing to give it a good listen.
moi dix mois - Pessimiste
Combine Malice Mizer with dance music, add a Gackt sound-a-like, and you get moi dix mois. Once again Mana goes nuts with the whole Gothic Lolita thing, and even though I dislike the whole visual kei scene, this is an excellent song to listen to. The scary thing about this is that Mana seemed to really like Gackt's voice when Malice Mizer still existed, and to me, Juka sounds almost exactly, if not a dead ringer for, Gackt's voice. Organs, guitars, synth and keyboards create a gothic-techno-ish theme for this song.
hide - Lassie
How could I not include hide in all of this? It's blasphemy not to! This is a fast paced, fun song about the dog Lassie. hide does all the adorable barking too! The music is punkish bordering on noise rock; loud, but extremely fun to jump around to. His voice is filtered and nasal, adding even more to the noise rock-ish feel.
