I recently discovered the group Gokigen Teikoku earlier this year when I caught the blue haired beauty Shirahata Ichiho on a Japanese tv show I was binging on youtube. She peaked my interest and a few google searches later I came upon the band and checked out a few of their live performances via youtube and soon after found their album on spotify. So this here will be my review for their album Indie Best (2017) I'll rate each song by a 5 star system, 5 being the highest rating and then give my overall score for the album.
track #2 GGT-Rock **** (4)
track #3 Nice To Meetune ***** (5)
track #4 Taisetu Na Oshirase *** (3)
track #5 vs. MAD *** (3)
track #6 Idol Nanoni *** (3)
track #7 Kamisama *** (3)
track #8 Shinyano Ra-men Saikou *** (3)
track #9 I Neet You **** (4)
track #10 Sugoi Sugoi Yuusyounouta *** (3)
OVERALL
7/10
The album kicks off with a bang and has a great flow throughout, GGT-Rock really gets rocking and Nice To Meetune has gotta be the standout for me, with its amazing vocal work and overall high quality production. A great listen from beginning to end and all the young ladies have fantastic voices. I highly recommend this group to any J-Idol newcomer (like me) and I'm looking forward to their future projects. Here's a link to their official website.

Gokigen Teikoku - I NEET YOU (music video)
My encounter with this group was also quite random, I was searching for rare artwork of a remix of a song called "chichi wo moge" and I found the thumbnail of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc58r9yaVL8 where Shirahata is reading the lyrics in a not-amused way. I thought it was funny so I subscribed, some months after, I started seeing their new videos pop up on my home so I began watching some. Eventually I found them on Spotify and managed to give them a listen. I do agree Nice to Meetune is very nice. I like how Egosashite Block sounds, and probably my favorite so far is Stand Up.
ReplyDeleteI just added your video link to my watch later playlist I'll definitely check it out soon, sounds hilarious! I still need to give Stand Up a proper listen, I should get back on track this month. I'm still bummed about Nagi leaving, oh well. Thanks for commenting!
