This month, I asked for your help again to figure out which of my 20th anniversary pack I was going to upload :
I did not go with the one with the fewer votes, in the end lol, and the j-rock pack won :)
1st of the 20th anniversary series
2nd of the 20th anniversary series
As usual :
Song titles link to individual mp3 file download
All 5 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom
Making this post made me realize that i discovered most, if not all of these through rotation blog lol
GLAY - Two Bell Silence
Actually no, i'm prettu sure i found glay through limewire, now that I think about it...
I have to admit, though, I didn't really keep up with them. Another one of these bands that aren't bad by any means, but I had other things to listen to, when I discovered them. So i ended up overlooking them.
Two bell silence was on the 灰とダイヤモンド (hai to dIamond) album, released in 1994
hide - Beauty & Stupid
I remember this being the first song I liked from hide. It also still regularly finds its way in my playlist, and has been for the past 20 years :)
Beauty & Stupid was a single released in 1996.
L'Arc~en~Ciel - Coming Closer
So laruku ended up being kind of far from my cup of tea, but i still did listen to them a little, you know, to figure out they were not my thing lmao. I remember putting this one on a disc for a school work i was doing on Japan lol, so it seemed fitting that i put it here too (but also I felt like stay away was too obvious x) ). It's not a bad song, but it's laruku, so it definitely sounds like... a laruku song.
Coming Closer was found on the SMILE album, from 2004
PENICILLIN - Imitation Love
Penicillin is one of these bands that I wish was better than they actually are XD
Still, Imitation Love (and romance fwiw) too regularly finds its way to my playlist and have been doing so for the past 20 years
Imitation Love was the A-side of the Imitation Love/Never Ending Story single, released in 1996
Plastic Tree - バカになったのに (baka ni natta no ni)
Not gonna lie, I hesitated between this one and aoi tori. I ended up chosing baka ni natta no ni because i though is suited the other tracks better than aoi tori. I also burned this song on several disks, at the time ahah.
Baka ni natta no ni was a single released in 2003
i dont think ive ever seen that not all pixaledly crunchy kjfdhkdhf

Difficult video to make. We used this song for my mum's funeral and I never listened to it again. Only went through the pain again for Hide because the lyrics are so fitting for him. Originally written for Freddie Mercury but it's for all the loved ones we miss. #HIDE #XJAPAN #hidewithSpreadBeaver #Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6k6JjPV9pQ
