I'm the more experimental of the two of us I suppose. While I can groove to a solid bassline and headbang like the best of 'em, I'm more fascinated when artists paint mental and emotional pictures with music. I suppose that's why I like Malice Mizer and Lareine so much. Both are "concept-oriented" bands, musicians who aren't afraid to play with sounds to create visions and feelings, or to tell a story.
On the other hand, I'm also the one more likely to fall prey to a sappy ballad just like any other fawning fangirl. Interspersed between my Malice Mizer and Penicillin tracks are SMAP and Kinki Kids songs. Truly opposite sides of the spectrum but hey, I'm not too discriminatory when it comes to music. I don't care what style, what genre, or what category something falls in. What is essential, is that it moves me in some way.
And with that in mind, on to my picks! ^_^

note: the following entry is kind of long ^^;;
If someone asked me to name the top two male vocalists in the Japanese popular music industry today, you wouldn't hear me hesitate. In my mind, at least, the choice is obvious: Gackt, formal vocalist of Malice Mizer, and Hyde, vocalist of L'Arc~en~Ciel. Why do they stick out in my mind above all the rest? Well, obviously, it's not just me, because L'Arc~en~Ciel is one of the top bands in Japan, and Gackt is arguably the most famous Jrock solo artist at present.
Both these vocalist have unique voices that make them instantly recognizable and are both accomplished performers. And neither Gackt nor Hyde can be accused of ever not hitting a note. So which one is better? That's a hard question to answer, and I bet at least some people out there are curious. Right? XD Well even if no one is, I felt like comparing the two. So I chose songs sung by each of them, two slow ballads, two middle pop-ish songs, and two faster, harder rock songs, to compare their singing voices in each category. The songs are:
Anata [L'Arc~en~Ciel]
Saikai ~Story~ [Gackt]
Dive to Blue [L'Arc~en~Ciel]
Mizerable [Gackt]
Butterfly's Sleep [L'Arc~en~Ciel]
Papa Lapped a Pap Lopped [Gackt]
Most of these songs are well known (with the exception of maybe the songs in the harder rock category, but that's because neither Gackt nor L'Arc are known for hard rock songs), so anyone with a smattering of Jrock experience will be able to follow this analysis pretty easily. So let's start, first by comparing vocal range.
[1. vocal range]
- Both vocalists have an incredible range. Forgetting the above list of songs for a moment, the highest note that I've heard Hyde sing, off the top of my head, is a B above middle C, in Driver's High (this excludes falsetto notes). The highest I can remember Gackt singing is A above middle C, though I don't know his songs quite as well as I know Laruku ones, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Again, this excludes falsetto.
- For falsetto, in Still I'm With You, at the background vocals in the beginning of the song, Hyde reaches a high F ^^;;. (At least, I think that's Hyde. I'm pretty sure it is. If not, then it's the high E flat at the end of Dive to Blue.) For Gackt, the high E in the bridge part of U+K is the highest I've heard. Again, I'm not 100% sure, so correct me if there's a higher note somewhere. An interesting thing is that these high notes both occur in background places in the music, not in the actual lyrics. Another thing to remember is that Gackt's falsetto range starts at least a couple of notes lower than Hyde's.
- As far as low notes are concerned, I'm far less sure about the following results. I believe that the lowest Hyde ever reaches is a low C# in Time Slip, while Gackt goes down to a low B below that in EMU ~for my spl-uh, for my dear~ XD. Judging from the above, Hyde's upper range is probably a tiny bit higher than Gackt's while Gackt can sing lower than Hyde.
[2. ballads]
- I've lumped the category "slow songs" in with ye old regular jrock ballads, since Gackt's songs can't really be considered "ballads." In any case, Anata is certainly a ballad, while Story is dramatic and epic enough to be considered one.
- Starting off, Gackt's voice at the beginning of Story has a very soothing, soft, full yet fragile quality to it that fits very well with the piano. This gives the song a gentle love song-ish sound. Anata, on the other hand, is an orchestral-ish piece and thus is automatically begins on a louder note. Hyde starts on a higher note, and his voice is sharper than Gackt's and more edgy.
- Hyde still has that edgy quality to his voice as the song gets louder in the chorus, adding to the "dramatic" feel of the song. You can tell that Gackt is trying to be dramatic, but as he sings louder, his voice loses the contained feeling and frays a little at the edges on the longer, sustained notes.
[3. medium songs]
- Moving on, both Dive to Blue and Mizerable are signature pieces of the respective artists, the former being a very successful Laruku single and the latter being Gackt's first single as a solo artist. Here we're not looking for dramatic ballad quality, but a continued sustained performance throughout the whole piece.
- Hyde's performance in Dive to Blue is characteristic of his regular singing style. We hear the same "dramatic" vocals that Anata had, and the same edge to his voice. Obviously, Hyde is naturally dramatic in his singing. It's clear from the beginning that he has a sharper sound to his voice than Gackt does, which makes him more suited to singing rock than ballads (which he does, to our great relief). Hyde's voice is very focused, very intense, which may account for some of the "sharp" quality that we hear, and the higher he goes, the more intense and focused it gets.
- Mizerable starts out much the same like Story, even with the faster beat. Gackt's voice sounds lower than Hyde's, even though the range of both songs is pretty much the same. Gackt has more of a bass quality to his voice and that is why his lower range is more greatly focused than Hyde's (remember the vocal range results above). As a result, his lower notes, both soft and loud, are strong, with a rounder sound and a more musical quality. His higher notes, however, are another story. Again because of this bass quality, as the pitch gets higher, he doesn't quite fight for the pitch, but it's a strain on his voice. The higher notes are far less focused and weaker, soft or loud. In this respect, Gackt's voice has improved dramatically from when he first started, however.
- Gackt's vibrato is much faster than Hyde's. (Fast vibrato is usually associated with singers not in the rock industry...opera singers comes to mind. I suppose Gackt therefore has a more "romantic" image than Hyde, though with his past in MM and even his present image, that's understandable). That's not to say Hyde's vibrato is bad, but Gackt's is simply more driving and effective. In any case, vibrato is a good thing and something that too few rock singers have managed to learn. ^^;;
[4. rock]
- They're jROCK singers, right? So makes sense that we'd compare some rock. Neither Gackt nor Hyde, however, are truly what you'd call "rock" singers. L'Arc~en~Ciel is known more for their pop or experimental songs than rock, and Gackt is also a more experimental singer. Not to mention that Malice Mizer didn't do much rock either. In any case, both artists have produced some rock, so here it is.
- I chose these two songs because they both are darker rock songs and we get to hear Gackt and Hyde singing angrily ^_~. Butterfly's Sleep is a wailing Egyptian-esque song, complete with Middle-Eastern chords, and Papa Lapped a Pap Lopped is, despite the strange title, a very modern, dark, garage-rockish song.
- Hyde's voice is angry. When is it NOT angry? Butterfly brings out his angriness, however, to a higher level. He does a good job of building on the angry chords of the guitar. The chorus especially stretches his vocal talents as he almost shouts out the lyrics. Very angry.
- Gackt can also be angry, surprise surprise. Maybe it's the accompaniment, maybe he had a good night's sleep, maybe it's the added screaming, but he sounds more like a rock singer in this song than in any other song of his I've heard. His louder, higher vocals are still nowhere as focused as Hyde's, but the other qualities of his voice more than make up for that.
So the final verdict? Gackt and Hyde are pretty much evenly matched, but I'd have to take Gackt as the top vocalist. Hyde's voice, soft or loud, has an edgy quality to it that hinders his performance in some songs, while Gackt is pretty much able to sing any song without a problem. However, one must keep in mind that Gackt is a solo artist, while Hyde is subject to the whims of his own Laruku.
And this too-long analysis is concluded. ^^;;

music :: Eien [Himuro Kyosuke]
*cough* moving on with the splee-I mean, with the blog, I had two choices of topic planned for today's update. The first was Gackt vs. Hyde, the pros and cons of the voices of each. The second was a review of Glay's new single Global Communication and the PV. Then I got to thinking about a conversation in which I was trying to explain why Glay was so popular...and I think I'm going to talk about that for a bit.
To start off, Glay is the most popular jrock band in Japan, hands down. Yet Glay is not the most creative band. Nor are they the most talented. Nor are their songs the best written, and they are definitely not the most charismatic jrock artists out there. So why are they so popular? As I began to analyze why I like Glay, I drew out a list in my head. So here it is. It's not "10 reasons to like Glay" or even "10 reasons defending Glay." It's just 10 reasons to explain Glay.
10 REASONS FOR GLAY
10. Glay is mainstream. In an industry where the mark of success often matters more due to the color and length of your hair than musical talent, Glay is a rather mainstream rock band. The only members who are even borderline visual are Hisashi and Jiro, and neither of them come close to how "visual" is defined today. While weird instrumentation seems to be popular with other bands, they hardly ever use orchestra in their songs. Glay is a normal band in a fantastic world, and it's something different, believe it or not.
9. Glay's songs are catchy. The melody line is always very very strong in Glay songs, and almost always in a major key. No strange harmonies here; just your good old major guitar chords. Add that to the Glay beat, and you have catchy songs which you probably can't find with any other jrock band. Which brings me to the next reason:
8. Glay's sound is unique. Most bands do have a "unique" sound, but Glay's rock style is definitely more retro than any other jrock band in existance today. Yes, most of their songs may sound the same. My brother and I even have a joke between us that Glay has three types of songs: fast, faster, and fastest. But you'll never mistake a Glay song for anything else. Takuro, being a huge Beatles fan, writes Glay's songs with that Beatles influence in mind, and it shows. Add that to Teru's voice...and, well, Teru's voice is certainly unique.
7. Glay's music is solid. Little or no experimentation may either be a good or bad thing, however you look at it. In Glay's case, it might account for all their songs sounding the same (or maybe that's just because the only real songwriter is Takuro). You won't catch any innovation in Glay songs. Ok, there might be a little, with songs like Miki Piano and It's Dying ~It's Not Dying~, but that's not really innovation, just weirdness. But you can count on Glay for solid rock songs, because that's the type of band they are. Glay songs are plain catchy pop songs that are easy to listen to, most of the time. The guitar solos are nice and strong, the beat is steady, and the melody line fits nicely on top of the background.
6. Glay's lyrics are varied. Rock lyrics are commonly about love, and Glay's lyrics are no exception. However, they're really the first band I've found, at least, that has written songs about other things. A lot of Glay lyrics talk about daily life, or comment on society, but manage to do it in an uplifting way. Which leads on to the next reason:
5. Glay songs are optimistic without being sappy. Ok, so there might be a few sappy songs. Be With You comes to my mind pretty quickly, or Together. However, Glay songs talk about moving on, looking into the face of the future. The "feel good" beat combined with the lyrics has an amazing effect on the listener. Whenever I listen to a Glay song I always feel weirdly happy. ^^;; or maybe that's just me, but in any case, in a country like Japan, where the suicide rate is one of the highest in the world, I guess the people need something happy to listen to once in a while?
4. Glay has a strong stage presence. Again, it's that happy effect. Who couldn't be happy, with Jiro jumping three feet into the air while jamming on a bass and wearing the rainbow-colored clothing? Their stage presence isn't powerful and poignant, like Malice Mizer or X Japan, but it's effective. Glay's optimism is their signature, and people like to see a happy band that's enthusiastic about what they do.
3. Glay variations are always a pleasant surprise. Granted, fast, faster, and fastest. That's what Glay fans have come to expect, and that's what they get. But sometimes even Glay feels like doing a bit of experimentation. Yes, this "experimentation" is nothing compared to Malice Mizer or Lareine. But something different from Glay is always something very unique. Their ballad However, for example, is just another regular old ballad as far as the jrock world is concerned. But coming from a band like Glay, it's a far cry from their songs such as Glorious, and the difference makes the song seem even better than it is. Another example is Jiro singing. Besides Siam Shade, other jrock bands rarely let anyone besides the vocalist sing...but Jiro's songs are actually out on albums; Shutter Speeds no Teema on Beloved and Strawberry Shake as a c/w to Be With You. None of those songs are especially good, but letting the bassist sing is something that only Glay would do.
2. Teru's voice fits the music. Teru has a rather scratchy voice that most of the time doesn't quite hit the note that he's aiming for. With most bands, that would be a problem, because the vocal is definitely the most noticeable part in any song. But in Glay, it's as if his voice compliments the music, instead of clashing with it. Perhaps it's the optimistic Glay message again: "It doesn't matter if you can't sing, just as long as you enjoy it." XD
1. Glay works well together. And that's the primary reason, I think, that Glay is so popular. Bands that work together so seamlessly as to seem inseparable are far and few between. X Japan was one, at their height. L'Arc~en~Ciel before Sakura's departure was another. And Glay is one. Again, none of the members are super talented a la Yoshiki or Gackt, and Teru still can't sing, when it comes down to it. But each of the musicians' work fully complements the work of the other members in the band, down to the supporting drummer and keyboardist. Glay isn't just a collection of musicians, it's a band. And that's what Glay is all about.
That's 10 reasons to explain the Glay phenomenon. Glay isn't my favorite band, but they're close. I realize that some people will not like Glay for those reasons, but Glay isn't for everyone. And, well, you'll just have to listen and decide for yourself ^_~

music :: Transylvania [Malice Mizer]
We got a jrock blog-GY! We got a jrock blog-GY! XD Okay. Here's my story of how I got started in jrock, heck, let's go back further- how I got started in JPOP. Hah! Ger might spare you the essay but I'm feeling frisky. *cackles*
Once upon a time... there lived a bunny on the moon. HUSH! This is pertinent! Oh, all right. I'll skip ahead. I was hunting for Sailor Moon and Fushigi Yuugi music and stumbled across a now defunct website called "LaLaLand: LaDeeDa" ran by Tsuki and Fei which housed literally hundreds of Japanese Real Audio files. BTW, if anyone has any info on where that site or Tsuki moved to, I'd love to link it. I totally recommend those getting started in JMusic of any kind to go there.
Anyway, I sampled practically everything. From Gundam Wing to SMAP, Ami Suzuki to Luna Sea- I went ballistic. But the three songs that hit me the most were Alone by B'z, Dive to Blue by L'arc~en~Ciel, and Tears I Cried by Siam Shade. Those three led me down the path I'm currently walking to my eternal bliss and my mate's everlasting annoyance.
It's been an uphill battle all the way. No one, I mean NO ONE around me likes jrock. Lion can stand some jpop and he shares my anime obsession but he all but loathes jrock. All my [RL] friends attribute the obsession to my apparently growing insanity. After all, why would I listen to some music I can't even understand when I have alternative music to drown my ears? ><;; Riiiiight.
But what they don't understand is that jrock isn't a substitute for popular music, it's practically a category all its own. It's not metal, though most bands rely heavily on their guitars. It's not pop, even though some songs are anchored by synthesized sounds. It's not goth, though some of the lyrics touch on darker subjects. It's not classical, though some songs are very creatively composed. There is something... the way the music comes across, the way the bands play even the simplest of chords, that sends a message out to those willing to listen. You don't have to understand the lyrics for the most part when listening to jrock, though it adds a whole new dimension to the song. Just listen. And feel.
And now that I've put you all to sleep...
*bangs cymbals together* OHAYOOO!!!! XD
Anyway, I suppose the purpose of this blog, besides as a place for me and Ger to rave to each other endlessly about our latest obsessions, is to promote jrock. Hopefully, our rantings will educate beginners and serve as a guide to those who have already discovered this wonderful world.
How will L'arc~en~Ciel's American campaign fare?
Who will be the next indies band to go major?
Will Luna Sea ever get back together?
Will Kamijo ever hit that high E?
All this and more. In this White Room. XD No, it's not padded. Why do you ask?

Yay! A jrock blog for us!
Err...are introductions in order? If you're reading this you'll probably already know us, but we are Gerald Tarrant and Moonsong, the resident Jrock freaks of MidnightRevolution.org XD I suppose maybe I should give a little paragraph to why I like Jrock? I'll spare you the essay ^^;;
I first got started listening to Jrock about a year ago, about the same time I started watching anime. Yeah, yeah, as far as Japanese things are concerned, I'm a newbie. The first song I ever listened to was, I think, Anata by L'Arc~en~Ciel. It's not one of the best songs on the planet, but it got me curious enough to start downloading other things. That's how I found other bands like Janne da Arc and Siam Shade and Glay.
But I must admit that it was my brother who really started me on jrock. I had downloaded the Glay song Winter, Again and ended up buying Heavy Gauge, the album on which it appears. My brother, smart guy, decided to research Glay and came up with tons of Glay information which he decided to impart to me, along with stuff on X Japan and Luna Sea. I think Glay is the band that really perked my interest, however.
I like Jrock because it is a different look at the music world. People might say that I think it's different just because I live in the US and don't have the constant exposure to the Japanese media that Japanese people might have, but I still feel there's a difference between Jrock and American rock. This can probably be attributed to the difference between Japanese and American culture. Though Japan has been very Westernized in the past few decades, the lyrics and music of Jrock still reflect the values of Japanese society. American rock is irreverant, noisy, and most of it deals with depression and death. Jrock, on the other hand, is more like poetry, with lyrics that can be tragic, yet hopeful at the same time. There's a beauty in jrock that I can't find in most modern American rock.
I hope I don't sound like I'm getting carried away on the subject of popular music, because all rock is ultimately popular music, and music tastes of the popular music world are definitely subject to change. But as far as my choice of popular music is concerned, I definitely prefer Jrock over American.
Anyway, before I blab on any more, you can find my preferences and favorites in the column to your left. I'm sure Moonsong will blog here with her own entry on jrock, so I won't bore you. ^_^
