..Unless you find you don't care for Koshi Miura's vocals, because then you'd only maybe like their instrumental tracks, possibly :( I honestly do not know/understand what is so unattractive about this group that my repeated promotion of them never sticks, and more people don't listen to them, but... You should totally check them out, if you've never heard them. There are two videos from their newest album up on their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/kuchiroro("ice cold summer madness" is stunning, and another song that makes me dislike Auto-Tune a little less), and then the UTubes has these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QurGBagOncY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vcWoapqfxQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuR6kJCIWZg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pohk7IEuKlc

Ah, I should have said that I was going to leave your shoutbox alone _for the rest of that day_, yesterday, because today? Totally planned on returning :D New day, fresh start, or something? Because your recommendation of The Miceteeth reminded me(why that was, exactly, is a story I could tell if you were curious enough, but trust me, it's better left unsaid).. or inspired me, rather? To say. You already actively listen to Quruli, and I just got done heaping some Great 3 on you, so to complete the Trio of Bands I Listen to Alot and Gush About Forever at the Slightest Prompting, I have to also mention the one I swore I'd never recommend to anyone ever again. But I'll make an exception here, because you're special ;) Have you heard of/do you listen to 口口口(kuchiroro)? They are such a great group. And their sound covers everything from pop, rock, hip-hop, dub and electronica(plus some other genres I'm forgetting..) that they have at least one song that could appeal to anyone, I think...

Okay, I have yet another reason to be grateful you mentioned "mahou".. listening to that song caused me to want an mp3 of it, which caused me to hunt down the "Love" album, and that led me to discovering they did a cover of a Haruomi Hosono song on there("恋は桃色") So that pretty much solidifies I could never have anything but good opinions about Sunny Day Service :D(because I am.. a little bit fanatical about Hosono. so this influences my behavior/opinions in all sorts of fun ways) ...I kind of questioned, at first, how they could have taken what was originally an under three minutes song and turn it into a seven minute affair, but the back end of their cover pretty much explained everything~ ...I'm officially going to leave your shoutbox alone now too, I promise.

..I think I may have found a song to upend my newly acquired habit of listening to "Oh Baby Plus" on repeat though :0 "mahou" is _wonderful_. Now I have a new mission, which is to track down a copy of that song in mp3 form so I can begin repetitive listening with that too :D Thank you so much for mentioning it! Man, we only just got to talking and already you've become one of the coolest people I know, by the strength of what you've been recommending I listen to alone ♥ Has it already been established that you have exceptional taste? It's true.

Um, while I have already posted way more than I intended to(I'm going to fill up the front page of your shoutbox in a second...), I have to include one more link. Because I just heard this song for the first time this week, and I'm completely smitten with it, so the love has to be spread.. Rei Harakami did a couple of remixes for Great 3, and this is the best one.. _gorgeous_ song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V73DhSpNfO4 And if listening to it doesn't immediately convert you to being a Great 3 fan, I'd be willing to wager nothing would :D ...Meaning maybe I should have linked it first? Pssh, displaying common sense? _I never will_.

"Metal Lunchbox" is also an _outstanding_ album, and while this song wasn't on it, exactly, and was instead a single only song released at around the same time "Metal Lunchbox" was released, it was included in the re-issue released in '07, so I'm counting it as an example of how good the songs from that album are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXElKq3LpCc But for a good song actually _on_ that album, there's also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G64b6e9RjZg ...You know, all of their albums are terrific, seriously, you truly could not go wrong with anything you find to listen to first. ...And if you happen to have a difficult time finding anything of theirs _to_ try out, album wise, just let me know, and I'd be happy to share :)

Oh, right! I completely forgot to give you the standard warning applicable to anyone wanting to friend me and/or engage me in general conversation(this should be posted somewhere publically for the Greater Good, honestly): I like to talk. A lot. Particularly about music, _especially_ about any of the groups in my Top 15 here, so by you bringing up Great 3? This ensures you'll never be rid of me XD(don't worry, I only kid. ...maybe) Good places to start for an introduction to their music + links: "May and December" is undoubtedly my favorite album of theirs, with the song "Bee" being the best offering from it. Unfortunately, that song never had a PV :( But this one did, and it's almost as good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pqeIvsjYws "Without Onion" is another excellent album, and this song is.. the video is.. I cannot even think of an adequate description for either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k10ieRyzJok

Since you're a huge fan of Keiichi Sokabe, perhaps you can tell me... Why hasn't he recorded more songs like "White Tipi"? :( And if he has, where can I find them? Srsly, he needs to have "White Tipi" parts 2-50, because that song is marvelous. And even if it were shamelessly replicated over and over, I'd be totally fine with that, and would listen to each "new" version of it a bunch, I know it. Speaking of things that are shameless :D Shamelessly recommend away, please! Whenever you get the notion to. ..And if they happen to be recommendations that can be traced back to Great 3, all the better, because that one name is the thing to make it so I check out the recommendation _that_ much quicker. Because I love those boys, and all their respective projects, far, far too much. Anyway "Synchronize" is great :0 Every single time I think I am completely exhausted on vocoders/auto-tuned vocals, songs like that come along to make me re-evaluate that stance. Thanks for linking it :)

I absolutely agree. Which is why I continue to be puzzled by the claims that Quruli have "lost" whatever "It" they once had, and aren't cool and/or listenable anymore. To that, I'm like.. well, you must have missed their newest single, "yukai na peanuts", because that song is fantastic. And so is "sayonara regret". And "mikazuki" had good B-Sides. But _whatever_. I understand people are entitled to their own opinions, and not everyone is going to agree with me all the time, but still, people are Weird sometimes, for sure. Ahem. Continuing on.. No kidding? Well, friend of Hideki, you may very well be responsible for getting us both to actively listen to more Sunny Day Service then :) Not to suggest it was some Impossible Dream for that to ever happen, I just never thought it would, because first impressions were a bit of a let down :( But I was glad for a second, better (re)starting point, so I have you to thank for that in a roundabout way, I suppose :) So, thanks!

Hello! Thanks for the friend request :) Couldn't help but notice you have a healthy amount of Quruli listens under your last.fm belt.. so this, combined (to a much lesser extent, because what could possibly trump shared Quruli appreciation? Nothing, is what) with Very High Compatibility made that request irresistible. So Hooray, similar music tastes! And meeting new people with who I share it ♥
