honestly quite incredible
Ah, the only Midori album Mariko doesn't pretend to hate.
>>123566587QRD?
>>123566136code?
>>123566638What? She openly hates when people bring up Midori. To the point she doesn't even write the name without censoring it or saying "that band i was in". And about a month ago Mariko had a very long meltdown where she admitted that shinsekai is the only album she can tolerate listening to.You do have to take into consideration that it was during one of the worst mental breakdowns she had in years.
their best album. weebs with adhd can only handle the titty album
>>123568739Their best album is Second What does adhd have to do with anything? It's only 5 minutes longer
>>123568841second is angsty pop music, rhythm section on shinsekai is actually jazz informed this time and forces the band into more interesting improvs>What does adhd have to do with anything? It's only 5 minutes longerit's not about length, the desu album leans into that wild wacky spork-adjacent energy that prioritizes le vibes over form or structure. loud chaotic music to turn your brain off to, perfect for people who can't focus
>>123567061What the fuck, I've never heard of that. Why does she hate Midori?
>>123569227Because she has taste unlike your weeboid ass>tfw the front(wo)man of your favorite band hates the music HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>123569254Not an argument.
>>123569254retarded ass
>>123569254based
>>123569184>spork-adjacent energy that prioritizes le vibes over form or structureLiterally every song since First is incredibly well-structured and only seem chaotic to surface-level listeners.>>123569227She doesn't hate Midori, she hates being associated with it.
>>123569638retard. listen to more music. mozart and mingus would be a good start
>>123569835I'm too busy listening to obscure japanese female alt-rock.
>>123569835Schizo
>>123568604Her sliced arms are like a god damn abstract painting of crazy
>>123570148Trust me, that's painfully obvious
>>123570148you kinda based og>>123569835you don't get any bitches gramps
>you kinda based og
>>123571134It looks way worse in person.
>>123566650some anon years ago made the revelation that her JAV lookalike is Luna Tsukino
>>123566136You’ve gotta check out a band called 88Kasyo Junrei now, OP… thank me later.
>>123578523KEK, is this edited? the fuck is up with her eyes
>>123579738It's called being drunk. Plus she hit herself on the head a dozen times.It was a very fun show, she even tried to shove a mic down my throat.
Goto the drummer.

>>123579524It's awful.
>>123587989me in the back
>>123579881You do band photography down in Tokyo? My band is coming down from Sendai in two weeks...
>>123591425No, i molest alt-idol thighs down in Tokyo. But i'm not returning there until october.
>>123591676Oh, that's an interesting hobby. What do you think about the alt-shoegaze-idols? They were an interesting novelty for awhile but now it all sounds the fucking same after RAY disbanded. Chiyono Ide is still the goat
>>123591702I think that tall white-haired RAY has very nice legs.
>>123591845Ah shit, I'm thinking of dots. After they broke up, it was all the same shit. Azusa from FTH produces a lot of it and his style of shoegaze is very boring these days. Japanese shoegaze as a whole has a big problem in that there's no innovation going on, they're stuck in the 2010s
>there's no innovation going on2023-2024 killmilky
>>123593448Sounds like any 2000s noisy shoegaze
Thought your original reply wasn't stupid enough?
Mariko still puts on such a great show every time.I just wish she could quit alcohol.
I don't even understand how you can get drunk with these low-alcohol tea drinks
obligatory >thing
>>123568604i wish i had arms like that
>>123569835>listentorealmusichow to spot pseud
>>123602148Can I facefuck her
>>123568604Did she used to cut herself on stage as part of the crazy punk act or was this something she did privately?
>>123603007No, she never did. On stage she smashes her forehead with a mic, but it's very rare. These days she does it 1-2 times a year max.
>>123566136>>123566587>>123568604>>123569638>>123572063>>123578523>>123587989>>123593448>>123602148She pleases white men btw.
How did he do it? And I'm serious, how? I don't know anything about music, or how it's done, but frankly it's impressive. I know /mu/ knows and makes much better records every time he goes to the bathroom but I really like this.
>>123606300It's common that artist makes their best work right after the worst period of their lives.
>>123603007>actIt was never an act
>music :|>music Japan:0Fucking garbage. Take this guy's advice >>123569835
Still waiting for that elusive western equivalent to Midori.
yeah, above anon is right, this meme >>123609897 doesn't work unless you can actually find an actual western versionbelieve it or not, non-anglo music can actually be one-of-a-kind sometimes
I wish Mariko was bigger just so she could get a signature guitar. Red Toronado is so cool.All the recent Squier Toronados are in gay colours.
Musicmaster was cooler
>>123610169>dear diary
Don't even get me started on her diaries...
>>123612727i dont understand why bitter white middle class incels are obsessed with 5/10 asian women
She happens to make great music.And you are wrong on all accounts.
>>123613613too chickenshit to respond directly, huh. lol.
>>123566136IS THAT A JAPENESE THING!!! HOLY CRAP
>>123617648this is what happens after a rough night of BBC
hate this bitch
>>123618381big bag of coke
Two big alt festivals going on in Tokyo but granny isn't participating in any of them :(
>>123568604Sexy arms

>>123566136I have a fetish for that specific hairstyle.
>>123621467It's extremely common in Japan now.
>>123585461Awfully fun to listen to.
shinsekai is my least favorite midori albumsecond is their bestdesu is good, but overratedshimizu is good and underratedthe first and second demos are really good
Second demo is atrocious.First(the EP) is extremely good and better than Shimizu.Shinsekai has one flaw - harumero. It fucks up the flow of the album and only exists because Hajime wanted to write a song for once. Still, rest of the album is so good it almost doesn't matter. I guess Meka wasn't that great, but they had to have one aburadako tribute.
>>123625201>second demo is atrociousWhy?
>>123626063Mainly because of how terrible POP sounds on it. Those out of place samples still haunt me. The normal version of POP is Mariko's favourite song btw. Sentimentality is a strong thing.
>>123626110Yeah, I agree that POP sounds bad, but I still like the rest and since POP got a better version, I wouldn't hate on the demo just because of that songAny thoughts on Usagi? Wakare Uta is so good
>>123626158It's very good for an unfinished first project. Myosotis is the best.
>>123626443I would pay you some beer just to talk about Midori/Mariko if I could :3So, you know what happened to the other members?
>>123626605Hajime has his solo project - "Hajimetal", it's not very good. He also did some production work for bands like SCANDAL and played couple of shows with GLAY, which is a very big deal.Kozen became a founding member for Nigami 17th Birthday - pretty successful pop-rock band(definitely more so than Midori). He retired in 2022 due to family issues.They never had a long-term bass player, but Iwami (Midoridesu, shinsekai) did a little session work and retired shortly, Harada(Second, Shimizu) still does session work and he plays upright bass for Mariko's Acoustic Violence POP Band.
>>123622181Just woke up, but yeah. I both love it and hate it because now it makes me seem like I have yellow fever. I totally don't fetishize asian women I promise haha...
>>123609897Crucify Jakshitter filth.
>>123627098It's fine to admit that a lot of japanese girls are very pretty.But it's very distracting when you are there. Especially on metro.
>>123628431Crazy people have the most beautiful eyes
>>123569227She wants to be a serious musician or something and not just "that woman who fronted a band people actually liked." At least she doesn't fake her menhera shit like Ano did who cribbed her entire style when she was in You'll Melt More from both Mariko and Fukase Kojima.
>>123591702RAY didn't disband, a lot of the members left but they got replaced as is typical for idol groups. They even put out a new album a few months ago. But if it helps you may want to check out UTERO which is the shoegaze/dream pop solo project of ex-Yumegiwa Last Girl member Rin and ponderosa may bloom whose producer is Azusa Suga from For Tracy Hyde. It's a little more jangly than straight up shoegaze.
>>123625201>Shinsekai has one flaw - harumero. It fucks up the flow of the album and only exists because Hajime wanted to write a song for once. Still, rest of the album is so good it almost doesn't matterCompletely agreed, I skip that track all the time
Skipping is for the weak
>>123633234Lacking the balls for direct responses like some catty cat lady whore is for the weak
>>123633509Jakshitter crucifixion.
>>123633509U r gay and weakminded>veri not requiredFuck off
>>123630095>She wants to be a serious musician or somethingShe always was. And by the time Midori disbanded she was very respected, to the point Jun Togawa herself praised her.>band people actually likedOne of her main points is that Midori never actually sold well. > AnoI always suspected that she was okay with it, considering how close Mariko was with Yurumerumo from the beginning.>>123630249>For Tracy HydeAbsolutely horrible.
>>123635460Okay but Jun togawa isn't even that great to begin with, the majority of her best songs were written by other composers, and her best work is with yapoos where she isn't even the main composer, fancy that.
Finally listened to the new demo. Still a bit messy, but it's a good electropop song. Sad that we're not going to get a new DJ album this year, it was planned for December but pretty much nothing is done.>>123635485As if there are many prominent japanese female singers who write and compose all of their songs.And the ones who do(Shitko, for example) still have to abide by producer's vision.
>>123635485>Okay but Jun togawa isn't even that greatstopped reading right there. your opinion on anything is irrelevant.
>>123637152>>123637044Once again, all of her best songs were written by someone other than her, cope harder, seethe harder.
As a Japanese, she's overrated and her fandom are so annoying
>>123637258>As a Japanesethis invalidates your point though as in my experience nihonjins usually have shit taste
>>123579738Its called having emotions (and also BPD) I don't except normgroids to understand since you're all shallow.
>>123637306She's doesn't have BPD. She's manic-depressive.
>>123637319I have ADHD and BPD
>>123637258She's barely rated these days. And her fan base is too small to be annoying.

You will never be the protagonist in an anime, you will never have superpowers that allow you to overcome your most greatest tribulations, you will always be a loser.
Don't need all of that, sucking Mariko's finger was more than enough for me.

>>123637044google doesn't give anything and not in slsk, do you have a link please?
>>123642268It was only available at her recent "Autumn Hell Ether" live for 300 yen.

>>123566136>Le quirky japslop is good!
>>123642860I doubt she'll release it as a single, it was supposed to be one of few songs for demo disk planned to release in July but ended up being the only one she fully wrote. Goto's mental health this year is especially bad, a lot of things didn't go as planned.

I want to protect Mariko-chan. However she is evidently extremely high maintenance and idk if I can handle that
>>123652872She already got herself a dedicated vomit cleaner.Probably will take a year for that position to be vacant again.
Anyone else still jammin out to picrel
>>123655096been loving it since it released, drone and utopia being the high points for me after the opener. are any of her other things good? tried listening to m@u when it was new and didn't care for it or looking for more solo things
>>123655096Mostly to the live version. It's absolutely fantastic.>>123655140M@U has great songs but it's messy, mainly because by the time she started recording it Mariko already burned bridges with Sony. Kowareta suffers from almost the same problem + label forcing their own producers.
>>123655140Drone is perfect.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaKgaxWkxv8

wassup /mu/, enlighten me on japanese alternativer/indie or wtvalways liked Supercar and recently discovered Kaneko Ayano and been hooked on her for weeks
>Kaneko AyanoSucks.
>>123659557Those aren't indie.
I wish someone would upload recent Hello! Project tribute album. Her song on it is pretty good, but i only heard it in shit quality on twitter.
it's just noise
Her acting is very bad, but trailers are often very funny:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOryyQm7w_w
>>123670187That TV Tokyo drama gave Mariko ptsd back in the day.
>>123641063cause she's asian
>>123652783fuckkkkkk i would start jacking off in the crowd desu
>>123671155shes aged extremely poorly for an asian
>>123641063what else are you putting in that bucket?
>>123671172You need to see a doctor.>>123671245She aged extremely well for an alcoholic. She also almost never wears makeup.IRL Mariko looks fantastic. Except after the shows, with all the sweat and blood.
>>123671366MB
>>123674819but they're still good and still put on good shows
>>123674879They were never good.>>123673114Duuuuude...
>>123630249Azusa Suga was never good and is an insufferable person both IRL and online
>>123652837Did you take a sniff?
Is Mariko the only female songwriter with 0 songs about her ex?
>>123566136I don't browse this gay board so without context this doesn't make any sense
>>123681020What context? It's an album cover, obviously.
>>123652783Anymore pics like that? ;)
You want pictures of naked 11yo boys?
8 hr long Footjobs from Mariko
>>123671420why are incels obsessed with 4/10 asian women
She's beautiful and extremely talented.That's why.
>>123682471if they're female, have short hair, and over 18 years old
Too many horny teens here...

>>123695873awful
>>123695873that's my least favorite song on the album followed by the closer. really don't like the songs like the closer in the discog or where the guy sings
>>123698830Incredibly shitty taste.Plus not knowing the lyrics.
Such a terrible thing to read in the morning hours. If you don't like POP you have no heart, and it's not even because of the lyrics.
>>123567061But she won't punch you in the face if you wear a Midori shirt.
>>123704422Midori tshirts were cool, despite the nonsense engrish.Still, that old DJ510 tshirt with a girl spreading her legs is the best
Holy samefag
Doesn't change the fact that this tshirt is cool as hell.
>>123699866>you MUST like this song even if you hate the music because I'm going to pretend the lyrics make it goodlmao
Yes it does
