Another long overdue update, which will actually be a long over-due j-rock related post.
I downloaded the YURA-sama + Gackt DOMOTO KYOUDAI thing months ago but never watched it. I did a search on youtube for "YURA-sama" I was looking for the clip where he apologizes after the charades game at a con, haha. It's adorkable.)
But I ended up watching this after it.
It was somewhat hilarious, because of the great contrast.
You have Gackt, King #2 of the never-changing-facial-expression (topped only by Mana, and only because Mana is somewhat more intimidating.) in his suit.....standing right next to Yura in his full on PLC...gear, with a smile on his face so cheesey, I don't think anyone could top it.

Another thing, Ryoujoku no Ame, new Deg single.
I like it. 'Nuff said. I wouldn't say it's....remarkable, for lack of better word, but I like the guitar on the A-side.

Random new realization: I'm 99% sure the reason I haven't made Jrock updates is because most of my favorite Jrock bands are long gone anyway, while most of the jpop ones are alive and kicking. For example, Koda Kumi. I only slightly like her....if at all. I've only heard about 3 songs, but I really like 4 Hot Wave. My point is, Koda is popping out singles like a slut with an allergy to latex (I am not crude.)
So she would keep me with stuff to talk about, while the bands....not so much.

Anyway, these are the afformentioned videos.
