6th Station ~Other Bands for H!P Fans~

[esm]

Naturally, I've started my 2016 albums list. Have five so far.

If you don't mind posting them, I'd like to check them out when I get the chance. I find that I'm listening to stuff from 2014-2015 a lot. I keep wanting to be a bit more updated when it comes to music.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for the day Jonhny's is burnt to the ground. It's music has set boy bands in Japan back at least 15 years and the male idol genre is suffering because they won't get with the times (Among other reasons it's a terrible company).

I'm totally into CHVRCHES right now, I think it's because of the 80's sounds and high pitched female vocals they sounds VERY Jpop

I haven't listened to more than a couple of their songs, but there IS a Seattle date, and my husband DOES like metal...
Does anyone know who's opening for them on the tour? Did they have an opening act at their shows last year?

Six days is a long time for me to plan ahead, let alone six months (too much stuff to handle these days, most of it on an ASAP basis), but if I remember to, I think I'll try for a Wiltern ticket when they come on sale. If it turns out that I can't make it, I suppose I can resell it...

[Zunu]

I might wind up going with a buddy of mine but I'll have to remember to bring earplugs!

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

...I really really wanna go.. but it's $50 that I kinda don't have right now, and it's on a school day and I'd only get there at like 3 or 4pm... o.o
Gotta think this one through now.

[AyuHikaru]

No where near me was kind of hoping they'd glance at the Red rocks Amphitheater.

[erilaz]

YAY, San Francisco! I definitely need to go! The Regency Ballroom will be a good venue for them (capacity 2,325). Kyary Pamyu Pamyu played there two years ago. I've seen Devo and the Toy Dolls there, as well.

The other day I was harassing Daisuki Daiiyo to listen to Cmaj9, and she was like, "Chiiiill boins, I'm too into Red Velvet right now for that."
So then I looked up Red Velvet and now my brain is primarily these three songs.

Spoiler: show

My favorite is Ice Cream Cake. I love how the lyrics go so abnormally around the melody in the beginning, and the eeriely melancholic circus music... and in general they make me want to dance along, which is absurd because I'm not a real dancing person.
BUT THERE'S MORE.
Because then I saw this 'related' YT video, and I was like, "Wait, Amber, like f(x)'s Amber? "



And now my entire essence is this song. How did no one mention this when it came out last year??
