I thought I would take you on a tiny journey into the world of Visual Kei.
This is pretty much what I listen to most of the time. I love Japanese Rock. I have for many years, I actually prefer it to "western music". It brings out the emotions and makes me feel more than other music does. It has also given me many good memories, ones that I will never trade for anything. I met my other-half at a Jrock concert so it means a lot to me. So I will be posting quite a bit about this particular genre.
I have decided to share a band that I have liked for a while but never really gone out of my way to talk about or follow. I am not sure why, I like the music and the feeling but I'm just not a "oh my god!" person with them. Maybe that will change when
Buck Tick - Miss Take
I really like this song, it is one of their newer ones. I think it came out last year sometime? I am not entirely sure.
The reason I want to share this with you is because I love listening to this particular style while reading or being creative in general. Its not too "hard rock" or something that makes you dance. I feel it is more easy listening, good background music while you get on doing other things.
Throughout the years their music has changed; like any band does change their style. Experimentation and so on. However they have always used simple melodies. Which makes them very likable and easy to relax to.
Atsushi Sakurai has an amazing voice, I find it to be quite haunting sometimes. Which is interesting considering how their music has change from 1983, his vocals never really changed. Always had that haunting, seductive feel.
This song seems to be a love song. I don't know the lyrics as I cannot understand Japanese all that much yet.
I don't mean to ramble on about the band.
The song itself is a simple melody that I find very nice to listen to while relaxing. I often find myself humming along with my eyes closed. Sometimes doing the hand movements that Sakurai seems to do in the videos! Haha!
Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. It doesn't need to be loud or anything, a nice volume and just feel yourself relax.
