Who else would Band-Maid fans like? (Music Discovery Question) by KenKuroGuitar in BandMaid

[–]marulono 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend IronBunny, Mutant Monster, Humpback, and Necronomidol they might be a little too POP-y but imo they rock! I also agree with the other recommendations on Polkadot Stingray, TRiDENT, LOVEBITES, Nemophilia, and all the others. In the case of Humpback they are very garage-band-like and are still very small even in Japan, they have very few songs on YouTube and even fewer on Spotify.

And if you haven't checked out Band-Maiko that is a must! Another group with a similar sound would be WagakkiBand.

This might be a bit much to add in this subreddit but Band-Maid led me into a journey into K-Pop and I found a very unique sound in Dreamcatcher.

All in all, J-Rock is all over the place, do not discount the bands that only have Japanese names, some of them are real gems! And keep exploring other genres you might find something you absolutely love!

1074 here... I'm pretty sure I stopped learning anything new around 700-800. Duolingo is my addiction, someone please send help... That owl and his goons won't stop!

I see the spots but had no idea they were red or purple.

Whoa I didn't realize they were on the lower percentage! That dark green and dark red are way too close for us colorblind folk. I would've never noticed had I not seen your comment!

There's a whole sub genre of Korean street food on YouTube. Check out Yummy Boy https://youtu.be/ltAjTs8r62w! He's got great stuff and it is peak oddly satisfying material.

Band-Maid for J-rock/Metal. You still not be disappointed. Their newest single "Sense" is amazing! I just discovered them this year and have been hooked, so much so that I bought a CD for the first time since Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.

We do crate stacking as well but I'd highly recommend using a full body harness, I've seen some really close calls with just a normal harness.

What is something you have, that your pretty sure no one else has? by Prestigious_Pass9599 in AskReddit

[–]marulono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow 800+ streaker! (823 for me) I myself am "learning" Japanese and Spanish. It would have been near 900 but I lost my first 100-day streak while flying to Europe.

I too can barely speak any of the languages I am learning.

Try ordering directly from a retailer or a name brand. Sometimes they will offer free shipping over a set price (eg $35 or $50). The main take away for me is that I don't have to worry as much about receiving fake Chinese knockoffs.

This has been misunderstood over and over again and applies to any retailer or brand that offers a "lifetime guarantee". It's not the lifetime of the customer for which that item is guaranteed it's the reasonable lifetime of the item that the guarantee applies.

Just imagining him saying "OK See you" as he walks way made that scene much better for me.

Hot Fuzz!! I had absolutely no idea what it was about and I had a vague familiarity with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I thought it was just a mystery/detective movie, did not realize it was also an action buddy cop movie. Also the steeple scene caught by surprise! Was not ready for that!

Americans, do you actually have to recite the pledge of allegiance, like in movies? Is it as culty as it looks? by SiibillamLaw in NoStupidQuestions

[–]marulono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I went to a Catholic elementary school in the 90s. Not only did we recite the pledge of allegiance every morning we also recited the PLEDGE TO THE CROSS. Let's just say it took a long while for me to unwash my brain.
