Journal

Welcome to the second semi-annual journal entry on what I was listening to lately (har, har).

A quick note about my ratings:
1 is for worthless crap
2 is being a neutral point
3 is for enjoyable experience
4 is for great
5 is for epic win

So, in the order of discovery (somewhat). Most noteworthy.

茅原実里
優しい忘却 - ★★★★☆
I'm not sure how I've stumbled upon this single. One song 3 times and then once again. But it's good. I guess.

Mezzamo
Aloneluna - ★★★★☆
That was the album that I found first. It was so great, so I've gone through all the troubles to find their previous works. Best of all, you can get their works for free and donate whatever you feel like as a thank you in return.
Other works that I've got:
Многоточие - ★★★★☆
Their first album. It's Russian and it's somewhat different from Aloneluna, but still very good.
12.04 - ★★☆☆☆
A little single to fill the time until their next album (that should be out very soon). Even more different direction that I didn't like very much.
…

Haven't done one in a while, and was bored. I did my last 3 months Top 50 since it's a bit more accurate than my overall, over 5 years chart....

Questions about my top 50. Although it changes all the time and the minute I posted it, The Hong Kong Knife was not my 50 anymore. LOL Anyway, here it is:

1. What's your favorite song by 15?
Dido – All You Want

2. How did you get into 20?
Roxette – My father is a fan and I got used to listening to them ever since I was a child. I thought I could sing Dressed For Success without knowing English at all... It must have been funny to listen to me singing and dancing to it when I was only 7 or 8 years old. lol Anyway, I really fell in love with them when I was a teenager.

3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
DIR EN GREY – 京 His voice, his performance on stage, his emotion, his attitude towards the world, his lyrics... Just... him, you know? He's a wonderful singer, I don't have words to express how much his music means to me.

4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
MALICE MIZER – “while the two joined bodies embrace their lustful illusions and the malice of reality, the wandering continues” [麗しき仮面の招待状]
