I Think Japan Has Wiretapped My Brain

[mousapelli]

over the last week or so, i have been pimped the band Plastic Tree by google, amazon, cdjapan, and jpopsuki, all by reputedly 'random' ads.

I know when i am beat, okay?!

jpopsuki's discography torrent was ill-populated, so instead i gave the PV torrent a shot, getting all but i think the most recent one in one shot, and then i obviously started watching them.

At the end of the fifth or sixth one, this showed for a split-second:



ROTFL. Plastic Tree, your fans are all made up in my head!

Also, the lead singer looks kind of like the Japanese Willy Wonka (the new one) with his straight, straight black hair and his bizarre puppet pvs, and the fact that he just stands there in the middle with his guitar like "these things just happen all around me all the time and i don't know why."

...it's a conspiracy!!

are they good?

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

yeah, i like them. Their early stuff is sort of...well, i was told they were like the Cure, which is true, but the Cure except you can't understand what they're saying so some of the charm is lost. Also, the "I'm so emo" music video kind of wears thin when you watch like five in a row.

But they pick up and get a little more rockish as time goes on, and the lead's sing's voice is gorgeous, if a little higher than most male lead vocalists. I like them, over all. Plus, they come from Chiba so ACCENTS YAY.

I feel the need to use my Ryutarou as L from Death Note icon.

My favourite Puraturi songs are Sangatsu itsuka (3月5日) and May Day.

And Ryutarou came first so, Really, Willy Wonka ripped him off. *g*

He's adorable really, and he's Full's best friend

OH. that's where i've seen him before! I knew there was something very familiar about him.

I'm poking the jpop disco torrent again, but it's such a mess with all their compilations -.-;;; this is like utada hikaru all over again, where it was a gig of stuff, but half of it was repeats of things.

well if you want any .m4as of specific songs/albums, lemme know. I've probably got them, and I'm more than willing to share.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

The torrent seems to be kicking at last, so I think I have the albums covered, mostly. Except for their new one, Chandelier? If you didn't mind upping that, that would be very kind of you! But if it's a hassle don't worry about it, i've just only bothered to look in the one place so far.

other than that, if there are any single B-sides you really enjoy, feel free to pass them along XD only if it's no trouble, though. Thanks for offering!

LOL, Amazon is STALKING YOU! It stalks me about potty chair books lately.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i don't find that to be shocking XD

Hey, isn't today your birthday? Happy birthday! It's crazy how fast this year went and how big elizabeth is.

[fantomeq.livejournal.com]

I think Amazon thinks I'm not good at going potty.

Yep, thanks!! It's been a nice day, with a trip to the zoo and something approximating brownies that I made. (More like chocolate sludge.)

oh. that one I don't actually have. dang.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

haha, no worries. I'll dig it up from one of the jrock comms or something. XD
