Lands - BandAge

I don't know why, but more than the vocalists or the guitarists, I just love drummers lol. I guess because they're the heart of the band and they're the rhythm of the music ^_^. I was just listening to this televised live of Lands - BandAge and saw Kaneko Nobuaki playing drums. I don't find him all that attractive, but I do find it impressive that he plays drums. I just love listening to the drums in the music, and when the vocalist sounds like he's been smoking, the drums are probably the best part of the music lol ^_^; I really like the song though, it's very catchy. The moment I heard it, I knew I would like it.

I was listening to some of the old lives with Akanishi Jin and he didn't sound like this before. I wonder what happened =_=; His voice is kind of broken now and lacks air support. You can tell when someone actually sings from the gut, and his songs don't carry that air you would expect a good singer to have. Still, the song is good.

I can't tell what it is either, but he's kind of off-pitch, it's not quite flat, but not quite sharp either... I tried listening to Lands - Hatachi no Sensou and just couldn't get into it. His off-pitch-ness was kind of hurting me =_=; and I have a pretty high tolerance threshold for out-of-tune people since I used to play in a band and listening to the junior bands perform often made me deal with it. The song also makes it hard for me to breathe like he's kind of utilizing air that's not well-used or something, so I feel like I, myself, can't breathe =_=; No idea how to explain it. I wish I could like this song, but it's kind of hurting me at the moment =_= Need to stop playing it before I stop breathing =_=

I recommend Lands - BandAge though. Yes, listen to the sound-edited version so you don't die. His last live had some pitchy moments =_=; I really like the song, more so when he is in tune lol. I've decided not to torture myself on YouTube anymore lol.

You're lucky you have some tolerance for out of pitch singing. I have no tolerance at all. Anything live just makes me want to scream.

I was really disappointed with this CD. I actually really hated the song Lands, and when he sung live for Music Station, he was all over the place. However, I think this solo project cheered him up. He always looked so grumpy when he's with KAT-TUN, but now he smiles at least somewhat.

I didn't know they had a song after the band name. I only heard BandAge and Hatachi no Sensou. I'll have to look for it... after I recover lol.

I may have a high tolerance, but if you chip away at a tree long enough, eventually it'll fall over no matter how tall and strong it is ^_^

Bandage is the single. The entire album is called Olympus. Not sure where you'll find it though. I skimmed through the album at HMV. Quite disappointed.

Sounds like you had a rough day at work. Hope you rest up~.
