Oh gawd it's nearly 2AM

And here I am googling Kuwabara-sensei's bands.

Soft Ballet on Techno Pop Academy, which if you have my tarded music tastes is the #2 online reference after Discogs

Electropop, darkwave, industrial, influenced by Depeche Mode and Eisturzende Neubauten, side project with Imai out of Buck-Tick.......... no, dude, seriously, I actually want to hear this now. And this one. Anybody? Lorraine? XD;;

Vow Wow on the Metal Observer, which is probably the #2 online reference after Discogs for individuals who have a different sort of tarded music taste

...Soooo basically, while writing Mirage she was listening to the Japanese equivalent of Black Sabbath and Depeche Mode. It makes so much sense it burns.

Imai is my god. No wait...that's not what I wanted to say...Ah Schaft. *laughs* From 91 I believe, a time when Imai still had body hair. Er...I've actually never heard the album. For shame I know. >.> But! I have seen the lyrics and all I can say is GAY! But Imai never tries to disguise his songs about man love so...I was always under the impression Schaft was one of those albums that fans couldn't get anymore. So instead I'm left with pictures and lyrics. ^^;
Soft Ballet is love. <3

the Schaft album looked to me like the sort of thing you'd have to go through industrial circles to gack rather than j-rock circles. But have you heard Soft Ballet? XD

I have indeed. Though not nearly enough as I would like to. I don't have a single song! ;.; I only heard them while I was in Japan but Sakurai did his solo album with Fuji Maki (I probably mispelled that) from SB.

And Buck-Tick loves them, therefore...<3
