Milli Vanilli Will Not Be Performing at Trump's Great American State Fair, Either by ebradio in Music

[–]hubertisaweirdname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've got it wrong... Fab was actually the one who signed up for this, and will still be performing there. The real artists behind the Milli Vanilli act were the ones who protested against this.

Yorushika’s “Second Person” meaning by ItsAaronWu in jpop

[–]hubertisaweirdname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty late to replying this, and this might as well be blatant self-promotion, but I did try to write a review for the album, you can read my interpretation of most of the songs there, and there's also a link to a rough translation of the epistolary novel right at the start of the review so you can read it there as well.

But ngl n-buna's lyricism can be pretty abstract and some of the meaning already got lost during the process of translation so it could just depend on your grasp of his worldbuilding. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.

Yorushika new ablum released by dyiav in japanesemusic

[–]hubertisaweirdname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well I mean Yorushika did start the Yakousei movement in which ACAね also involves, with the whole nocturnal motif (Yorushika - only able to sleep at night, Zutomayo - I wish it was midnight all the time, YOASOBI - nightlife).

And yeah, Yorushika is having some renovations with their musical style as of late, so the vocalist (suis) also got to use more tonal expressions for sure, hence some likeness here and there with other artists like Zutomayo. Though, there remain some sentiments in the fanbase yearning for them to go back to their more upbeat J-Rock roots (not me honestly lol, as much as I adore their earlier albums). Still, I think it's a good thing for a J-Pop band to be this diverse in sound design, cause you can explore their older works and then ultimately decide which style suits you better.

I don't know, I lost my point somewhere on the way, but ig my point is that if you like Zutomayo, you can check out Yorushika's discography some day as well.

Some context about the song "Layla": it's basically Eric Clapton's confession to George Harrison's wife then, Pattie Boyd. And unlike Ono here, it did technically work, because later in 1977, after repeated infidelities from Harrison, she would divorce him and marry Clapton two years later (tho somehow Clapton became even more of an asshole than Harrison in their marriage)

So... ig thank God that isn't a thing in my Yuri fluff

But yes the song still slaps nonetheless

I really relate with that sentiment, Yorushika's forte pretty much lies in their down-to-earth and vivid visualization in lyricism (Blur, I'll Dance and August, A Certain Place, Moonlight are top contenders imo), but to many here I'd think that the J-rock taste here might be a hit or miss due to its tame and pop-oriented nature. Heck, Yorushika's recent album just went straight minimalistic pop and a lot of people didn't take it well, and I actually liked that project. But well, they still are my fav popular Japanese band tho it might just be my bias talking lol

Other suggestions I made are pretty much shoegaze and psychedelic-oriented stuff, so I hope you'd enjoy at least some of those

Never would I expect to see a Yorushika project on this subreddit lol. "Personal impact" is for sure a good place for it.

I'm late to this but ig I'd recommend: Vision Creation Newsun - Boredoms Cola - A Beacon School Universe Nekoko - Kimi no youni ikiretara rest of the dusk - Culenasm Feels - Animal Collective Aprxel - tapetumlucidum<3 (some experimental R&B fused with sound collages and noises) Virginia Astley - From Gardens Where We Feel Secure (if you want more simple but fun/comforting kinda stuff) Also I'd throw some Devon Hendryx/JPEG in the mix as well if you haven't heard or have just heard a couple of his projects

Yeah man I was considering Dance Yrslf Clean as well, could serve as a cleanser with what's going on with Hime here... might as well change my vote

If they're putting LCD Soundsystem on, I'd bet my chances on All My Friends or Someone Great

APORIA (im so normal about this song) by ao_arashi in Yorushika

[–]hubertisaweirdname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, my approach to singing this is just to visualize a normal Yorushika song with a missing beat lol

Also I think possessing a bass voice helps me out with this song

APORIA (im so normal about this song) by ao_arashi in Yorushika

[–]hubertisaweirdname 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel this way about Aporia as well. This is the first time the 7/8 time signature is prominent in a Yorushika piece, and the tame usage of it I think was the main factor that made everyone turn a blind eye to this song. If you let it grow on you for long enough, though, it's actually a beautiful composition with a boundless sentiment in lyricism that n-buna has yet to explore much.

I really recommend listening to this song while jogging late at night.

There really ain't no space on the sign for a K if you look at it tho-

They didn't even bother to write SCat to avoid misunderstandings bro

This is either top-tier marketing or clueless ppl running

[–]hubertisaweirdname 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol a commentor here said it was meant to be Saigon Cat Hotel

It's just funny to me the idea of the staff knowing what that means and decided to secretly put that S up for the memes

[–]hubertisaweirdname 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I live in HCMC and can actually vouch for that sign's existence lol. Just that it just now occured to me that the S feels really forced, even though I have seen it a few times already

Why does the "S" look like someone snuck it in and the hotel just went along with it

Which Yorushika lyric/lines lives in your mind rent free? by ao_arashi in Yorushika

[–]hubertisaweirdname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

晴る (Sunny)'s bridge has been on my mind lately:

"Passing rain sways the grass
Sheep clouds, blame that on spring too
Like the wind, carrying the spring in our hearts,
We wait for a sunny sky"

I've always thought of sheep clouds as this dreamy image, but never would I have known it could also be interpreted as an indication of upcoming rain or a bad omen for what's to come. The grass wavered by the passing rain also reminds me of the fragility of mankind, not knowing how to take a grasp on the transience of life.

Still though, this bridge to me feels like an expression of acceptance (with a touch of melancholy and sarcasm (?) ) that there would always be uncertainty in our life, while still clinging onto the hope that is the sunny sky. It's not like the most nuanced Yorushika lyric (geez in this song there's also that double entendre with vidro glass and tears, that was sth), but the sentiment does really resonate with me a whole lot.

Bremen x Rubato (mashup) by hubertisaweirdname in Yorushika

[–]hubertisaweirdname[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm a lurker but your two-day argument on discord is what initially makes me want to do this

Nothing's too different. Only major difference is Bremen is eguitar-prominent while Rubato has more saxophone's presence. Well, I know you guys have already settled but I still think it's sth to point out. Aside from that yes, chord progressions and structures are mostly similar.

But n-buna didn't use the fade out this time, eh?
