I was in fear not to get this rotation up this time, cause I thought I wouldn't see my internet for a while.... Uhhh... >.> My brain is empty. (And my picks suck way too much this time. Sorry for that... I just got too much to do @.@;;)
I made it and here I am with music and news! :D
First good news is:
I have a partner! :D Someone who will help me with the rotations.
kagechii is her name and from now on we're a team. We will have three categories: My picks, her picks and the requests. Means: More good music for everyone! :D
Besides
kagechii brings a huge mp3 and PV list with her! *hehehehe* XD So, if you like to request something and it isn't in my playlist you should definiately have a look at hers, cause she has some bands I don't have a single song from ^^;; (I think that's because I don't like bands like Merry....*cough* *cough*)
You will love her... cause her picks are much better, much more than mine XD I feel sick...
Second good news:
It's December :D ..................... and just two months to go till the new Dir en grey album! Which will come out on the 7th of February ;D I'm no one who postes whole albums, I guess you can figure that out... but I will may post a song or two (the one/sI like the most) :) If you really like to have the album go to the internet-pages I gave the links to in my profile and buy it! :D
Okay... besides I finally threw some new bands in the rotation! xD Let's have a look what
kagechii and me will give to you~

1]]
Artist: Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Song: Kimi to Iu Hana
8:58MB // 6:19min // 9/10
Translation over here *wink wink*Comment: It got the beat. And you have to follow it. And you just HAVE to move. And even if it's just a finger XD The amazing thing about AKFG is that you can always hear each intrument. You feel it everywhere. You can hear the bass and you hear the guitars, the drums which give you a kick and you hear his voice. If this is you first AKFG song (what is actually impossible when you wathched Naruto, cause AKFG also gave an opening song for that anime (and since they get more popular ^^;;)) you should be careful. His voice is something you have to get used to. He has a very strange, but adorable way to sing. It's a bit rough, hoarse and he pronounces a lot of his words different then other singers o.O;
Besides their music is more western. But not in the way Ellegarden is. The have a good mix. But I would call this rather Jrock than Jrock which tries to be US-Rock XD Kimi to Iu Hana is the kind of the song you can listen to a billion times when you put your player on repeat XD I don't get tired of this song :)
In a color like yours... 2]]
Artist: Kaggra
Song: Satsuki
3,22MB // 3:30min // 8/10
Comment: We continue the strange voices! :D Satsuki was my first Kaggra song and when I heard it I felt a bit in love with them. I don't know how, but they are one of the bands who make it to bring two completely diffrent styles of music together! The traditional japanese music and of course rock.This mix is something you can desribe. It fits. It fits to Ishis strange voice. And it makes you happy with the floating music. Plus: It's catchy. Plus: This song includes a piano which is the third musicstyle! May the best Kaggra song to start listening to them :)

Artist: Dir en grey
Song: Marmalade Chainsaw
5,79 MB // 4:13 // 10/10
LyricsComment: One of my favorite songs from the first J-rock CD I ever got! For which I made a total ass of myself when I saw it in the mail. XD; Having pre-ordered the limited edition and picked for it to be shipped as fast as possible, I was not warned of the…interesting PV that the CD came with. o_o; *coughs* Getting back on track, not only does Kyo sing amazingly in this song, but he also makes many of the awesome noises we all know and love him for! And if you do not love them, I keel you dead. :D
Let’s play with a chainsaw! 4]]
Artist: Angelo
Song: DARK SNOW
7,51 MB // 5:28 min // 10/10
Comment: On a different note, a song from my most recent CD purchase, Angelo’s REBORN single. For those of you who don’t know, this is the band that Kirito, Kohta, and Takeo of Pierrot have formed. I miss Pierrot. ;o; Angelo’s pretty good though, I love all the songs on the single and thought this would be a nice one to put up. After all, it’s snowing! ^W^ Where I am anyway. But really, it’s the kind of song to listen to when you’re really stressed out. It calms you down, but doesn’t put you to sleep. =) Just download and listen to it because it is great! XP
The creature reborn out of Hades beckons you to download! 5]]
Artist:SADS
Song:Feeling High & Satisfied
3,20 MB // 3:29 // 9/10
Comment: This song is so fun! ^^ It starts off with a great drum intro before the guitars come in and Kiyoharu starts singing! I really like Kiyoharu in SADS and Kuroyume, but his solo works I’m not so sure about. =\ Either way, if you haven’t heard anything of Kiyoharu (or even of him, for which I would be shocked since he’s inspired quite a few popular bands, Dir en grey and Merry to name two :P), I think this’d be good song to start with.
Drugs is bad for you, unless J-rock is a drug. Then you can never have too much. 6]]
Artist:Dollis Marry
Song: Kakera ~Kakera~
5,35 MB // 5:50 // 10/10
Comment:I really like Dollis Marry and it doesn’t seem like they get much mention in the J-rock world. D: Which makes me really sad so I thought I’d let everyone (or at least whoever happens to stop by here) give them a try. ^^ This is an interesting song, it starts off kind of hard then goes…bouncy? XD; But I like weird songs like that. :P Highly recommended download.
Download now dammit! XD 7]]
Artist:HYDE
Song: Sweet Vanilla
5,50 MB // 4:00 // 9/10
LyricsComment: This song was on repeat in my i-Tunes for the longest time when I first heard it. ^^ It hasn’t been recently though, but it’s still a pretty good song. I like pretty much all if HYDE’s songs (except for the ones where he hits really high notes that seem like they can shatter glass), but I usually like his harder songs better which this one is. :D Although I’m bound to change my mind about what kind of songs I like everyday. I can go from really loud and screamy, like Dir en grey’s Agitated Screams of Maggots, to really happy and cutesy, like An Café’s Maple Gunman. ^^; *complicated*
"There’s so much for you to know" like how this song sounds. 8]]
Artist: Miyavi
Video: Kimi ni Negai wo
39,5 MB // 5:07 // 10/10
Comment: Not only do I love this song, but the graphics are amusing as well. XD The background’s all sketchy and flat, yet Miyavi’s in his PJ’s sitting on the house roof playing his guitar…and he’s blue! O.o; Meev’s become a Smurf! Also look out for the orchestra people, the piano player’s my favorite. ^^ I know that everyone’s probably already seen this video, but it’s very good so if you don’t have it, start downloading!
Wishes and fishes and Miyavi in pajamas! REQUESTS!

Artist: The GazettE
Song: Filth in the Beauty
5,86 MB // 4:16 // 9/10
Requested by: ???
Comment:
kagechii says: Like many others who have heard this song, I thought it was strange that this song started with female vocals and soft, but then the guitars start and everything is better! Until Ruki starts singing and it’s all soft and fuzzy again. O_o; The whole song kind of goes back and forth between hard rock and, I guess, R&B-ish (I basically only listen to rock so I’m only going by what other comments I’ve read here). Around 2:07, there’s an amazing guitar solo where in the video the whole band starts head-banging (except Kai since he’s too busy drumming). Also in said video is a scary fat dude! @o@; Anyway, anonymous requester and those who may not have this song yet, enjoy! =D
in_monochrome says: The first thing I did while hearing this was giggle XD I was listening to this, my mom came in said: "Oh... cool." just when then whole song started to freak out XD And she was like: "Out of hereeeee!" Omg.... I love my anti-jrock-mother XDDDD I just can repeat what my friend said x) This mix is so weird that it fits perfectly! And it's so typical GazettE! ^^ (and Ruki... you're English still sucks XD)

Artist: Dir en grey
Song: Ryoujoku no Ame
5,29MB // 4:08min // 9/10
Requested by: ???
Comment:
in_monochrome says: Ryoujoku no Ame was one of the songs I needed about 20 play to begin to like it. And 40 plays to absolutely love it XD One of the Diru songs I really thought: "WTF?!" But if you compare this song to the new single... this song is MUCH MORE Dir en grey than the ASoM!! I can still feel them here. Though it's it's hard to say I really love Kyos new style of screaming. But RnA had everything a good Diru song needs: Whispered lyrics, sang lyrics and a good screaming part. Besides the music great. An other great composition x) And I can hear Toshiyas bass~ ;____; I wanna hear Toshiyas bass more *cries* But that's an other story XD If you don't have this already: DOWNLOAD!!!! *_____*
kagechii says: It also took me a few plays to like this song, it's not as good as some of their older songs like Marmalade Chainsaw (and I'm not saying this to get you to download the Diru song I put up of course *shifty eyes*), but I do like Ryoujoku no Ame a lot better than Clever Sleazoid. However, the PV for that song does somewhat validate my use of the word 'moran'. XDD The music's great, there's even some fun digitized effects along with a nice combination of Kyo's screaming and singing and chanty bits.
It is then the proof of sadness, caused by absolute justice. In the lukewarm rain which does not stop So... that's our music for this time.
"Welcome
kagechii!!" (Who of you think I should stop that Leader-sama shit?! XD *raises hand*)
Please leave a comment if you take something!! Or just tell us how amazing we are! XD
