Charisma.com is legit awesome and more people should listen to them. They never fail to disappoint, although the more "proper" rap songs on their albums fall flat for me since I've no idea what she's rapping about :(

So, technopop favorite Perfume released their latest album last week and here's the latest single:

Gave a quick listen to it on Spotify. Is it just me or they're kinda going stale? I was pretty much a big fan of Nakata's compositions but since Spending All My Time I've been enjoying only B-sides sometimes.
Welp, the girls' kung-fu moves in this video look pretty cool though.

In a mostly unrelated note, does someone recognizes this song from Guinea Pig 3? Not sure if it was made for the movie but maybe it's really from that record the dude grabs and plays.

Yeah. I'm a huge fan of Perfume, but their latest album was just kinda off off, really. I just felt incredibly bored while listening to it. Flash is a good single, but the album version of Flash, too, is just so incredibly boring.

It's disappointing, really :/ I really liked their previous albums.

EDIT: HOLY poo poo Charisma.com is finally on Spotify! :D :D

This is great. I do wonder what they would do if given more creative freedom though. Baby Metal was a creation by the label, and I think their music is dictated pretty much completely. (someone else writes their guitar track for example)

Most likely end up as 'normal' J-pop idols.

Talking about idols and j-pop. I remember having read something some time ago about the abysmal treatment that Korean pop artists in those big girl / boy bands receive from their managers and their label. About how they barely receive any money at all, are forced to live together in horrendous apartments, how if one of them ever gets a lover they will be publicly shamed and kicked out of the group. Is there a similar thing in the J-pop idol industry?

I had never heard of Supercar or LAMA before I moved to this grorious country, and drat they're damned good bands that I definitely recommend. Any other Japanese bands similar to them? Or any other bands in general? I really like their mix of shoegaze and rock elements.
LAMA, the second video being my favorite song from them.

I had also heard Storywriter from some posts on this forums before. Also a great Supercar song!
