Up and coming new rock band, their first album just recently came out this month. I've only got two songs (a demo track and a the PV rip of boku no tame ni utau gin), but I can already tell that this is probably going to be not only the best new band of the year, but also one of the best releases of the year in general, easily overshadowing powerful releases such as Ling Tosite Sigure's newest album.

BOKU no tame ni utau gin
Lyrics:

ima wa koko kara nigeru ki mo shinakute
KIMI wa BOKU ni kitai shisugita
samekitta taido de toozakete
kanjou oshikoroshite kurishinde

aikawarazu de inno?
shinpai kaketakunai no
dou sureba ii no?
imi ga wakaranakute

mou nee yo koko wa nanimo nee yo
kudaranee yo zenbu kudaranee yo
owaranee yo nanimo owaranee yo
kowashite yo

kotoba tayotte ikiteiru nda
kore kara dore kurai no gisei wo dasu no?
mou tsukareta yo kurushii yo kanashii yo
nee kusacchimatta nee
nani wo kangaetenno? tooku wo mitsumenagara
KIMI wa kurai ko na no? nani wo motometeru no?

mou nee yo koko wa nanimo nee yo
kudaranee yo zenbu kudaranee yo
owaranee yo nanimo owaranee yo
kowashite yo

===================================

A verse sung for my sake

I don't even feel like running from here now
You expected too much of me
You pulled away from me with that cold attitude
I'm suffering, strangling my emotions

Is it alright to stay the same?
I don't want to worry you
What should we do?
I don't know what you mean

There's nothing left here, nothing left
This is pointless, everything's pointless
It doesn't end, nothing ends
Destroy it

I'm relying on words to live
How many more sacrifices must I put forth?
I'm so tired, I'm hurting, I'm sad
Hey, it's rotted away, hasn't it
What are you thinking as you stare off into the distance?
Are you a sorrowful child? What are you wishing for?

There's nothing left here, nothing left
This is pointless, everything's pointless
It doesn't end, nothing ends
Destroy it

pretty decent. not the yawn-fest i was expecting.

not to bad, expected something more in some parts of the song. Was sitting back and waiting for it to kick it into a higher gear.

should have been 3 minutes, not 6.

I actually really like the length, I feel it's a well-balanced song that moves through the various dynamics really awesomely. A lot of really awesome little details in it that make the song great, and it's really impressive because they're extremely young musicians (barely over 20 or something like that, younger than most bands).

It was okay, I guess.

Although, the whole time, I kept wondering if that was a really ugly girl with a 13-year-old boy's body, or if it was, in fact, a 13-year-old boy that was really ugly. Actually, yeah, I couldn't get past that.

LOL me too. Cool song, but not anything I would personally listen to or put on my iPod.

Let's face it though, guys.




























It's better than Your Order.

yeah, the voice was kinda throwin' me.

I gotta say reminds me of Radwimps a bit, but more bland (as someone mention in the yt comments)

Yeah, it was decent, but it could have been a lot better if they kicked it up a notch.

Fuck that. The song was mediocre, I couldn't get into it. The video was fucking annoying and I couldn't stand the singers voice or his look. He annoyed the fuck out of me throughout the video. I tried to listen to it, honest I did. But it just didn't
hit me. MOTFD was a different story, I'll say that their self-titled EP was much better than OOPARTS, but I still enjoy YOUR ORDER better than whatever this Plenty is making. Also, YOUR ORDER has become my favorite song on the album
I mean Ameagari would take it but I wanted to pick something new, and not the single off the album.

Plenty is okay not terrible, its just not the kind of band I would get into

I'm liking this band, Mare. I'm totally interested if they have an album out. This song's got some powerful emotions in its sound. The drums are very dynamic, and the chorus is just amazing. Reminds me a lot of People in the Box.

That reminds me, have People in the Box released anything lately?

Yeah, they've definitely got a vibe similar to a mix of Syrup16g and People in the Box, which I really dig. I think once again Brye just needs to stfu and stop going overboard with ridiculous crap. Their debut album just came out the other day, waiting for somebody to upload it lol.

Looks like PitB just released their major label debut on the 14th, hopefully a rip will pop up somewhere soon.

@Sheer: I'll wait to see what there is on the album, the other demo track has a bit more energy to it. I think that a song doesn't have to always be explosive to be really great, though sometimes it's better. I think in this case, the song is great how it is.

If anybody's interested, I'll upload the demo track (entitled Koukai) and the audio rip of this PV (not my rip, better quality than the youtube vid, not sure where people got it from).

Does [i]nobody[/i] know the gender/age/eunuch status of the vocalist? It's still an open issue.
