Saosin - It's Far Better to Learn american alternative rock
♥ Anthony Green's voice is great, you have to hear him in Circa Survive, his amazing experimental band. And I love Saosin too. I still think Bury Your Head is their best song but thanks to MTV it has gotten its popularity.
YUI - Cherry japanese pop rock
Yui initially got my approval because she used 14/15-year-old Hongo Kanata in her Tomorrow's Way music video. *feels like I'm forgetting something* Oh and because her voice is really clear-sounding and refreshing. 8D
Shimono Hiro & Fukuyama Jun - Sora ni Ikeba Kimiga Iru japanese boy pop/ballad
CLUSTER EDGE!!! I'm not afraid to say I watch it. I love the chorus. If you don't watch the anime, the voice actors do some of the OP and ED themes as a group called "Cluster'S". ps I just realized Fukuyama Jun is literally in every other anime I've ever watched. Holy crap man! I have to do one of those "Did you know he voiced this?" posts for him and several other seiyuu I like.
Imago - Sundo opm ballad
woohoo Filipino music. I would probably like this more if the chorus wasn't repeated so much towards the end
Giant Drag - Kevin is Gay american indie rock
One of the old music blogs I used to follow years ago always had some type of disturbing but gorgeous Giant Drag song in its rotation. Funny though but I came across this song which was posted on death_eyes for a Death Note fanmix. It's supposed to represent Misa so I listened to it immediately... and holy crap, this song cannot fit Misa any better. The disturbing love obsession and the meowing at the end. It's psychotic.
Tommy February6 - Love is Forever japanese bubblegum pop
If you don't like Tomoko Kawase you don't belong in this world. Her music videos can be pre~tty out there. This song is so full of sugar you can feel it in your brain.
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Zetsubou Billy japanese hardcore rock
aka Death Note ED2. \m/ \m/ lul. Now that I have the full versions I've been listening to the new themes too often
Bulldog Mansion - Destiny korean indie/pop rock
Bulldog Mansion is crazygood, there's just no other word to substitute. You're going to be singing "LOVE ME~" in a desperate voice by the end of this song, just like I am right now 8D!
LM.C - Rock the LMC japanese visual-kei/alternative
I always used to skip this (it's the ED for Red Garden) since I didn't like the "ROCK ROCK THE LMC!" part, but today I let it run through while I was typing something up and I think around 1:57, Aiji's vocals change to melodic & pretty~ Then I watched the MV on Youtube and BAM new fan. The LJ community almost has 1,000 members already
ELLEGARDEN - Salamander japanese emo/pop rock
I've run out of commentary. I don't remember if this song was half-english or completely english, either way I remember it's very catchy.
