Ma Cherie

ok I'll expline why I usually don't post in the music part of the forums, I can't decide where to put what I
want to write. I like Japanese Hard Core Rock. So it either goes under rock or international and no one hardly ever reads what I have to say so i'm gonna post it here.

some awsome Rock groups form Japan i'd segest for the masses are as posted with shoret explainations for each

Malice Mizer, stared by cult rocker Mana was and still is the greatest visiaul band from Japan that ever existed though now disbanded it when thru 3 eras, of which i will warn aginst any early songs(such as gothique) because ther from the Testu era and Teastu is so tone deaf that he took very good songs and killed the murderously. he got the boot from Mana about 5 mouths later if i am ot mistaken, the Came Gackt, a sing whose voice is like rich liquid chocolate thats rich and melted, that if chocolate were definder with ranges(white, milk ,dark) he'd have all of them , This was the best of the eras.
then tragidy struck2 1/2 year slater when their drummer Kami died of a brain anurism in 1999. then gackt left to presue a solo career and Khala(who is slightly on par with gAckt But only one other vocalist can acually match him and will be listed later) Khala put some very Hard violent rock into the Metal/classical repituar of Malice Mizer. after 2 years they dissbaned and stil sells more albums than almost any other group in all Japan. Mana stared another band called:Moi dix Mois he's excentric ans no he is not a girl.

The next is Dir en Grey. started by Karou they are the only band in theis thread still together. Kyo the vocalist hold the tie with Gackt for best Male vocalist in all Japan. dir en grey's lyrics are angsty and emoish with a violent twist and some goo heavy metal mixed in, they play all over the rock map and are but far the only band to truly match Malice Mizer in popularity. they hold one of the world best bassist Toshiya whom i look up to, toshiya is not someone in the back ground, ha has a s many soslo as the others do. as in the fact that DEG are still together they have no tragity but what happend in there younger days(Kyo's abuse for one) and it they're inspiration

L'Arc-en-Ciel is the lats i'm gone post about its better to just let yo go to this website for a better write up as i don't research them as much they finish off the notorious trio of bands here the website http://www.projectj.net/laruku.htm
Hyde they're lead singer was said to have passed on in 2003

Yep i love Malice Mizer, Dir en Grey and Gackt solo.
Although for some it's a little difficult and strange to adjust to.
Have you heard some of Miyavi?

EDIT: this was the eating cats for breakfast joke one:


There he is with the cat <3

Out of the songs I've heard so far, my reccomendations:

Itoshii Hito is one of his sweetest songs,
Joushou Gaidou is a more fast paced one,
same for Pop is Dead (yep, nice title i know) that comes with a video too,
and Night In Girl.

Raison Detre provoked Illuminati and that provoked Cage(i think this is the right one)

song lyrics and translations

Cage

shibire wo kirashi teru boku wa mado no chi wo hiki sado no kimi wo matsu
dekireba doku no baiser de
hitan yue ni bitoku miezu kimi wa saigo no mama de
kioku umete kizukarenu you ni saigo no mama
tokei wa hidarimawari demo okashi ta tsumi wa kaerezu
saisho de saigo no rikaisha yakitsukete

iyagaru boku wo mite tsuyoku soshi te yasashiku muriyari no tetsudan
keshi te kimi ni wa ienai
kawa no kishimu oto ga itai kizu wo fukamete yukou
shi ttobukai kimi wa itsudemo reiketsu na no?
osanai koro no gyakutai ga ne ima demo wasurezu ni itai
naze mama wa inai no oshiete yo

itsu ka wa yasashisa ni kizuite haha naru "yurikago" no naka de

hitsuu yue ni mae ga miezu boku no saigo no mama de
semete kimi ni kizukarenu you ni saisho no mama
tokei wa hidarimawari demo okashi ta tsumi wa kaerezu
saisho de saigo no rikaisha kowashi ta

boku ni wa yasashisugita no ka naa? mukashi no torauma wo utsushi
saigo no kimi made kowashi ta boku wa sado?

Cage

impatient the masochist's blood runs in my veins I wait for you, the sadist
if I can do it with a poisonous kiss

because of sorrow I cannot see virtue you are the last mother
the memory buried so that you won't realise the first mother
even though the clock turns backwards the sin I've committed can't be changed
the first and last person who understood me is burned into my memory

see me resisting strongly and then kindly forcing a decision
I can never tell you
the creaking sound of leather hurts me let's make the wound even deeper
you, deeply jealous are you always so cold-hearted?
even now I don't want to forget the abuse of my childhood
why don't I have a mother? tell me...

someday I'll realise kindness inside the mother*-like "cradle"...

because of anguish I cannot see before me my last mother
at least, so that you won't realise the first mother
even though the clock turns backwards the sin I've committed can't be changed
the first and last person who understood me is destroyed

were you too kind to me? the reflection of a trauma from long ago
I destroyed you, the last one am I a sadist?

* here Kyo sings haha, which simply means mother, although in the lyrics it is written as seibo, or virgin mary. (yes, connotations galore. ^^)
