Thought I'd kick off 2019 with a new blog entry, something I haven't done before. Basically an overview of my month, highlighting all the cool things I've discovered in music, cinema, anime and entertainment from Japan. First up is music.......
Ok what can I say, I really wasn't a fan of HAMIDASYSTEM when I first listened to them last year but things changed when early January the weather was getting colder. It could've been the gloomy atmosphere but I went ahead and put on the album Yuganda Enpitsu ha Dareka ni Orarenaitameni and everything clicked. The second track Yoru no Hakoniwa is my go to jam, love everything about it and I can honestly say the entire album is solid. I'm now a fan.

I absolutely love Kaqriyo Terror Architect and I admit I had been putting their latest EP Identity Crisis on the back burner but I finally gave it it's due attention this month, alot. While I can't really feel the impact the new members bring to the album vocally, the original trifecta still bring it in a rather impressive fashion. Yamakomaro really stands out for me this go round, she has a deeper voice than the other members but vocally it compliments each track beautifully.
Sadly KTA has lost 2 of its original members recently, first Kotetsu who left in December of 2018 and a few days ago Nonamera. In my opinion Nonamera's high pitched vocals were the driving force of KTA's uptempo energy, she will be missed.

Aside from those two albums I've been giving heavy rotation, I placed an order for a CD bundle from one of my favorite rock bands the Molice yesterday and I'm stoked as I've been a fan for years. I'll get more into it next month as I expect the package to arrive in 2-3 weeks. That wraps part 1 of this blog entry, stay tuned for tomorrow when I get into cinema, anime and entertainment.
