Becca's PV Corner Volume 2
So I've been meaning to post another volume of this... I guess since I've been talking up MUCC's ageha single, now is as good a time as any. ;D
BECCA'S PV CORNER Volume 2
a/k/a ROCK, Inc.
Artist: MUCC / ムック
Song: ageha

Comments: I LOVE THIS SONG. This is from their newest single of the same name. I highly recommend the ageha Limited Edition version of the single, where ageha is paired with the equally killer song Aoi Mori. Even being only two songs...and even not being the biggest MUCC fan...I think it is one of the best singles I have ever heard from any band. For real.
The song starts out slow (and makes me want to grab a guitar) but quickly turns loud and driving (wanting me to grab a guitar even more - or bash the hell out of some drums!). Tatsurou's voice is AMAZING. The playing is AMAZING. Overall - consensus says AMAZING. The PV isn't action-packed, but it doesn't need to be - it still fits the mood of the song nicely. I really don't have a whole lot to say about it other than watch it, WATCH IT, WATCH IT. (Big if you can, because Steph is right - the Internet versions just do NOT do it justice, especially with the loud parts.) LOL
Mini-Profile: Formed in 1997, MUCC (pronounced mukku, and occasionally referred to as 69, which can be pronounced muku in Japanese) has debuted in Europe as of 2001. The band currently consists of four members: Tatsurou on vocals and harmonica, Miya on guitar (electric & acoustic) and backing vocals, Yukke on bass (bass guitar, double bass, & electric upright bass), and SATOchi on drums.

Comments: The PV is not my favorite visual-wise (though it is still very good) - it was more for the song that I decided to post it. It took me awhile to get used to HIZUMI's voice, honestly. There is a lot of screeching and growling throughout many of their songs. Plus...Sara and I always say they have scary death-makeup. LMAO
The white chick in this PV freaks me out a little. She seems like she might be a bit...off - she looks like she's dressed for the prom, sitting in an alley or something...and gets this sweet-but-creepy smile at totally inappropriate times. LOL Anyway. The song is excellent - after 2 listens, it became one of my favorite D'espa songs.
Mini-Profile: Formed way back in 1999, and boasting no lineup changes since then (which is damn impressive in the VK world where people skip from band to band all the time), D'espa has recently started touring not only Europe, but also the US. They also offer domestic releases (for example, you can find their album MIRROR at Best Buy - FTW!) The lineup features the uniquely-voiced HIZUMI on vocals, Karyu on guitar, ZERO on bass, and TSUKASA on drums.

Artist: Dio (distraught overlord) / ディオ
Song: CARRY DAWN

Comments: mikaru has vampire teeth for part of this PV. XDDD OK. Dio is still fairly new, but I will say they get better with every release. This song is from their latest single CARRY DAWN, and is my favorite by them so far. mikaru's vocals are so much better than on their previous releases (IMO). Dio is another of those groups that I only looked up because I kept seeing them over and over again in Cure. It's not a super-flashy PV, but again, I chose it mostly for the song. I especially love the parts where he screams in the background. XDD Makes me want to headbang.
Mini-Profile: Formed in 2006, Dio (full name "distraught overlord", but the shortened form is the pronunciation of the katakana used to write the band's initials "d. o." - ディオ, hence "Dio" - whew) is still relatively new. The band consists of mikaru on vocals, kei on lead guitar, erina on rhythm guitar, ivy on bass, and denka on drums.
