killjoys Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 ^i think the livejournal link above is private. Can't read it even after logging in. edit: found a news article for the PV Alice Nine Senkou PV released The music video for Alice Nine’s newest single “Senkou” is finally out! The song is catchy if not amazing. As typical of Alice Nine, the guitar solos are ridiculously awesome and the pv is filled with flashy special effects here and there. No doubt this “Senkou” will be another big hit for the band. Source: http://www.tokyofied.com/2010/07/alice-nine-senkou-pv-released/ PV: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe72t1_senkoupv_music Yeah I should have mentioned that you need to be apart of the community to see the link. I think the PV is okay and the song is okay, Alice Nine can do heaps better imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zuzu21 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 In Senkou I love the guitar solos and the powerful beggining,I guess these are the main points of the song. Overall,it's a good track! But I believe they can do better~ Pon's getting better song by song,anyway<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lttlrshark Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Senkou is definitely good. It is a good break from their dull pv's lately like sleepwalker or Hana. those ones seem to be very very very smooth songs. This one is more upbeat. but of course the other songs featured on those singles were upbeat. I'm just talking about an upbeat PV though. Anyone going to the 1/6 final tour live at Nippon Budoukan? I may be going..but i prefer their small venue lives. You feel closer to them, and its easier to catch stuff xD. I only managed to catch this at their Yokohama bay hall live. its a very small live compared to a Nippon Budoukan or big theatre hall type like Nakano sun plaza they did last year. Its so tiny and black I dont know how i even got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoys Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Alice Nine has put a preview up for Le Grand Bleu on their official webpage. Go to Discography and click on "Le Grand Bleu" to hear the preview, and put your volume down a bit I like how it sounds so far, sounds pretty fast and heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoys Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Oh wow, so we'll hear the full song in about 2 days. To be honest though, the song so far doesn't sound too appealing, and the video looks kinda boring too. Disappointing from the 15 seconds >_>" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoys Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I hope the song is actually really good - When I heard the previews for Rainbows I was unimpressed but then when I heard the full song the guitar riffs really surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jupiter2venus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I hope so too...can't wait to hear the whole song! Tora and Hiroto's guitar skills never fail to impress me...they are amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killjoys Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 http://dai.ly/cZ84X1 I believe this is the link to their newest PV. I think the chorus is really weak honestly it's not catchy for me at all. But the rest is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Meddle Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Haven't listened to this band in years. They still do any heavier material like in their early days? Songs like this: My link Or have they gone completely soft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killjoys Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Mmm, I wouldn't say they're completely soft now, they still have songs like: Drella and 百花繚乱 (which isn't really heavy) That was 2 years ago though... I guess the hardest they've made in the past year are: Le Grand Bleu and Solar Eclipse which again, aren't really that heavy Their upcoming album I think has a couple of heavier songs: Previews here KING&QUEEN which sounds like it's going to be sort of heavy and RUMWOLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, seems like the majority of their works been toned down a bit from their early days. In fact it seems like it's become a trend for some of the J-Rock bands I've gone back and had a listen to. For example, what happened to MUCC? I used to be a big fan of their early material, and then they started releasing stuff like this: MUCC - Falling Down ...the hell? I mean, I'm all for change and experimentation..... but I don't think this is a particular good way to go about it; it deviates too much from their original sound. Something like this is a bit of a disappointment for me when they had previously released awesome songs like this: MUCC - Gentou Sanka Granted, not every band seems to have mellowed out, but they've all changed in some ways, for better or not. Gazette's got a Metalcore/Alternative Metal sound going for them now, but oddly enough I prefer their more Punk-ish sound from the early days. Kaggra, and Merry seem to be pretty constant with their sound. Dir en grey's been all over the place in terms of genres, but they've always done an excellent job of mixing it up, and their Uroboros album was some great Extreme Progressive Metal; probably one of their best albums in a while (long-time Diru fan here). I dunno. Maybe it's just me and my standard for what "heavy" music is, or maybe I just need to research the scene more as it is today, but - with a few exceptions - it seems to me like J-Rock bands overall used to have a heavier sound. When they started mellowing out in my last year of high school, that's when I stopped listening to J-Rock (plus I was introduced to Metal around that time too, lol ). ......Where was I going with this? LOL oh well. Yeah, Drella and Le Grand Bleu are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killjoys Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Eh, well I've noticed most if not all J-rock bands tend to change their sound as they grow and evolve as a band. I'm a fan of both heavy and (somewhat) soft music so I'm not against it completely but it does kind of betray the fans who were into a bands original sound when a band does do something like become "mainstream". I agree "Falling Down" deviates from the much more awesome "Gentou Sanka" and is pretty disappointing, but I guess they're happy with the change and the music they're producing now so I'm not gonna hate them for it. Yeah, I've noticed Gazette still has a heavy sound which is good but I also prefer their old music, as with a lot of bands I listen to. I think Dir en grey has consistently released good stuff even though it is all over the place, it still has their charm haha. If I could say anything about how Alice Nine have changed... their sound is definitely more polished and I guess they're more pop oriented, but I don't think that's entirely a bad thing.
