ROTATION #27
New layout, new header, new icons, new update, new songs. Fukai no Yami is back and shines in all it's glory now!
Yes, we're back and bringing you a brand new music update with lots of delicious stuff.
One would think it's easy to update a monthly rotation, but it's not always, believe me. We plan to keep this rotation alive as long as we both are listening to Jrock. So hopefully forever |D; Even though we're letting you wait sometimes.
Well, let's see. 14 uploads hide under these cuts and... wait, no requests? I know it always takes ages a while until you guys get your stuff, because we're so lame, but... but... D:
Anywaaaaay~ I'll do us all a favor and shut up now.
Please grab as much as you can from this rotation. ...and then run! ♥
This thing has started counting on 2008-12-23.

1]]
Artist: school food punishment
Song: egoist
12MB || 5:17 min || 10/10
Comment: I'm currently absolutely in love with this band and especially with this song. I love, love, love the acoustic guitar and the the soft beat, the drums, the keyboards, the whole electronic arrangement mixed with Yumi's amazing voice. This song has such a special feeling, such a gentle yet slightly sad atmosphere. The chorus is so damn addicting. I just can't get enough of this ♥ I can only recommend this band.

Artist: RADWIMPS
Song: me me she (live)
4,9MB || 5:21 min || 10/10
Comment: me me she is such a beautiful song about eternal love and how life goes on after a break up. I love Noda's soft vocals and his clear voice. Gooseflesh-feeling. The whole melody is so utterly pretty and since this is a live there is so much emotion in it, it always makes me sigh. Towards the end there is a small break where you can only hear the soft waves of the ocean and then song goes on even more touching. It's beautiful <3

Artist: ensoku
Song: This is a pen. (ALBUM Ver.)
10,8MB || 4:44 min || 9/10
Comment: Some of you might have seen this around already. It's one of the most hilarious songs I've ever heard. This is a pen is actually the one and only line he repeats during the whole song, sometimes even so full of emotion that it's breath-taking XD (well except the little rap and talking towards the middle.) The music is actually pretty good too. You definitely shouldn't miss this, if you haven't heard this before!

Artist: THE KIDDIE
Song: Sayonara Setsuna
9,1MB || 4:00 min || 10/10
Comment: In my humble opinion THE KIDDIE is a lot better than most of the new bands that are floating around currently. Yusa has a very good voice and he's actually able to sing very well - without sounding like he's doing karaoke - but still has his very own singing style. Their music is pretty upbeat and makes me happy, because it's so easy to listen to and just sets you into a good mood. I picked Sayonara Setsuna, because I think it's good song to being with. It's this kind of music you would listen to while driving or while riding a bike in summer <3

Artist: SHINee
Song: The SHINee World (doo-bop)
9,1MB || 3:56 min || 7/10
Comment: Because a lot of guys liked KAT-TUN in the past rotation, I'm gonna throw something similar at you today 8D It's time for SHINee! I know like... nothing about them, but who cares? The song is a lot of fun to listen to and really sexy, even though it's not really exciting to be honest. Since it's a Korean band they sing in Korean too (and sometimes in English). So, if you want some hot boy-band power, here's your download link!

Artist: the studs
Song: ano oto
10,7MB || 4:42 min || 9/10
Comment: Ever since Kagerou disbanded I was feeling a little empty, since they were one of my favorite bands. But I'm so happy now that Daisuke is still singing for a band and still sings to this kind of music like did before. ano oto is one of these songs in which his voice simply gives me gooseflesh. It's a pretty calm song; reminds me of wandering through the night... The guitars sound amazing and everything is very well arranged.

Artist: Dir en grey
Song: Toguro (live in studio)
7,1MB || 3:51 min || 10/10
Comment: Last but never least... Dir en grey. Oh yes. I finally listened to their new album now (4 months after the release!) and found out that all my fears were childish, because the album is too awesome, amazing, incredible to put it into words. A lot of rotations probably already uploaded songs from the album, and I'm pretty sure I know which songs they chose, so I'm gonna swim against the stream once again. I ripped the rehearsal live of Toguro, Dir en grey did in their studio for their UROBOROS DVD, because it's just amazing. In every single way. Kyo's voice is breath-taking. It's so capturing, so... clear. I love it when he sings these high notes without really screaming and does these mystic noises now and then. The guitars are hypnotizing, the bass feels like it's your very own heart that's pounding in your head. I love how this is a fast song without any growls, screaming and so on. It's so pure, so catchy, so addicting.

Artist: the GazettE
Song: HOLE
8,03MB || 3:13 min || 8/10
Comment: Ah, Gazette. I've heard some people liking their 'older' style better, but I rather like both! :D Although I do miss songs like 'LINDA' and 'BEST FRIENDS', at least they still perform the former sometimes, yes? :x Anyway, I think HOLE kind of shows off how diverse Ruki's voice can be, he starts off a bit... nasal(? I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, I fails), kind of like a drawl (I love how clearly you can hear Kai's drumming in the background), then launches into his rougher and screamier tones, alternating between those, and then finishes off rather smoothly. |3 The guitars are also rather awesome! \m/ (This comment made absolutely no sense.)

Artist: ACIDMAN
Song: Zouka ga Warau
4,2MB || 3:40 min || 7/10
Comment: One of my recent discoveries during a late night in the studio. Honestly, it takes me a while to actually look up stuff about artists, music first, then further information later. XD; The vocalist's a bit different from a lot of the artists I listen to, I think this is off of one of their older albums, I'm not entirely sure. *does a quick check* 2002, wow. XD Some older music. Catchy in its own way.

Artist: D'espairsRay
Song: HORIZON
8,5MB || 4:08 min || 9/10
Comment: And then we switch to newer music. I rather like the intro to HORIZON, the guitar is pretty, and it comes back up in little interludes of the song, and then it finishes up the song rather nicely. :D Good solid music, and Hizumi's voice amuses me at the little 'rappish'-sounding bits that come up. XD

Artist: alice nine.
Song: Kiss twice, kiss me deadly
10,1MB || 4:01 min || 8/10
Comment: I should really start to find different artists to put up, but I really haven't been paying all that much attention to what I've been listening to these last few months. ^^; But the song title amused me enough, considering how many things of late I've seen/heard with the phrase 'Kiss me' in it, generally followed by 'Kill me', but 'kiss me deadly' works too I suppose. XD; Sexy Shou voice and guitar, mmm. <3 The female backing-vocals are also a nice touch. ^^

Artist: SID
Song: Monochrome no Kiss
9,1MB || 4:00 min || 10/10
Comment: Preeeeeetty! *_* That's what I think of this song, a very nice major debut single for SID. ^^b (...it was their major debut single right? >>; I swear it is, but I could easily be wrong.) I'm still trying to figure out what that extra instrument/sound they're using to add to the background is though, sounds like a string instrument of some kind, but maybe not quite a violin? Either way, very pretty, good listen, I recommend it, especially if you haven't gotten into SID yet.

Artist: BREAKERZ
Song: Sentimental Scrap
5MB || 3:40 min || 10/10
Comment: Another recent discovery! I'd known about DAIGO's band for a while, just never got around to listening to them until I saw DAIGO in the Love Shuffle drama. XD; *SHOT* And then I kept seeing a lot of uploads of the band so I figured that they must definitely be good, and they are! :D It starts off with some rather catchy guitar work, and then DAIGO! On some days, his voice sounds kind of weird to me, but he can still sing! (Wtf, woman? This really doesn't make sense...) I think his stuff's considered more pop-rock, but that's okay! It's seriously quite catchy.

Artist: Girugamesh
Song: enishi
7,4MB || 3:14min || 10/10
Comment: GIRUGAMESH! Whose name I really, really don't want to say outloud, or in my mind, for a while after hearing it in a horrific SakuraCon commercial. *shudders* Anyway, super catchy song, my most favorite on their MUSIC album! \8D/ Whenever this comes up, I have it on repeat for at least three more times, it's just that good! Maybe a little different from their usual style (so I've heard), but music is music, bands are allowed to try new things right? Seems kind of danceable, or at least it would be a very enjoyable song at a live. \8D/
