Yes, this is going to be an Amorias-themed post because I feel like it. But before I begin, I’ll just say I haven’t forgotten about the blog. I just have had a ton of problems posting stuff because it doesn’t go through and then I lose about a half-hour’s work so I got pissed off. The post a couple of days ago was a GODSEND because it posted and stuff.
And I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
So I’ll begin wiht Hikari no Rock by Sambomaster. TEH RIFFZ ARE SO ALIEN! No, really, this is the catchy, upbeat sort of stuff that Amorias listens to so…oh god…..the vocals. OK, so it’s no ROID IN SHADOW but I’m not used to them I guess. Amorias, why do all your vocalists bar Tatsurou sound exactly the same? Well, let’s just say high-pitched guy who thinks he’s a baritone and overextends his vocal range ever so slightly.
And the choruses are spit out hurricane style in that ever so original way that YUI stole…OK So I’m being a bit of an ass but there’s really nothing wrong with this song. Guess it’s just not my style but if I can stand it and it’s outside my style than it’s gotta be decent at average. The unoriginal chorus (in terms of how it’s sung) isn’t winning anything in my book. Why do choruses always mess up a song?
Oh, he started screaming….it really doesn’t suit your voice sir. The last chorus also has a bit more screaming in it and it sounds like he’s got phlegm stuck in his throat. Amorias, I need to take you to the land of music….
*stops outside Kyuutai land and pulls a cop-out*
“Call this song Fuzz + psychedelic techno effects. Oz feels like the counterpart to Fuzz and it shares much in common with that song, including the attitude-driven intro. Oz immediately got a 10 from me the minute the opening riff went on, and the rest of this song went on to make it sexplox. The best part of this song is that, much like Fuzz, the chorus doesn’t lose steam. It doesn’t suddenly change from dark to light or angsty to sugary-sweet. It keeps the flow and the vibe and makes this song better. It also helps that Miya’s solo comes right after. This is definitely one of the highlights of Kyuutai.”
What can I say that hasn’t been said again? Oh, that Amorias failed to realize this album was released and that he likes OZ better than FUZZ.
Next on our tour of music Amorias likes would be exDream by Myuji. Bar the low quality on my audio but this song is kick-ass. It was used for the theme on the anime X and you can hear the English references throughout. This is what I call a typical Amorias song: distinguishable chorus (either due to the annoyance factor, the uninspiring factor, or in this case, the ORIGINAL factor) and softer verses. But this song is a bit different because….it has a downtuned section. Me likey downtuned stuff a little bit too much….but it fits with the song.
I wish I could find more stuff by this guy too…
Melissa was Amoria’s jam for a good minute or so. It was used as the opener to the widely overrated celebrated anime Full Metal Alchemist and I can just say that this song gets stuck in your head….because it’s so fucking annoying. And it’s just the chorus….you know that thing you hear within the first five seconds. This is definitely the poppiest tune that I’ve talked about so far and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, I can actually stand the verses. It’s just that chorus that makes me burst a blood vessel. The instrumentation also doesn’t suffer from “American syndrome”, which is what I use to refer to music that feels like it’s missing something in the background.
I’m about to do a remix that omits the chorus >.> HONESTLY! The bass fun that’s a “solo” also is pretty cool and if nothing, Porno Graffitti know how to mix acoustic and bass and not make it abrasive (read: Gazette’s REGRET). Good job guys. Just work on your choruses please (and don’t keep the finagling for the FADE OUT ;_;)
DRASTIC MY SOUL is the ending theme song for the anime s-CRY-ed (for the life of me I will never find two people that pronounce it the same way). Mikio Sakai wrote this and the song starts out deceptive. I swear it goes through like three different styles in ten seconds before he jumps in and starts up with the singing. I prepared myself for an annoying singer that would try to overextend his reach but he stays comfortable in the lower range so I’m OK with that. Just waiting until the chorus…
Once again, usual Amorias song….the chorus fits into a mix of two and three from what I described before, but it’s no Melissa or Hikari no Rock. And that’s a good thing. It certainly sounded more epic late at night in condensed form though. The “solo” (I use that loosely) also shows some instrumentation, but I wish it was just a bit louder. The only thing that ruins this song is the classic “step up” method that gives a song more oomph but really causes me to just turn it off. A clever beginning is just as good as a clever ending.

I BELIEVE IN DRASTIC MY SOUL also is the worst usage of English ever.
Now if Morning Musume would dance to Koi no Megalover my life would be complete. The beginning completely betrays MtH songwriting structure but when it blasts into the familiar heavy rock territory it’s obvious that this song is going to kick ass. Too bad the song repeats a second time but it just takes away a little. At least Ryo-kun’s verse is a little different the second time around and Ue SINGS!
This makes me a happy Domo-kun 
Does anyone know if Ue-chan is gay by any chance? Just wondering…
Ichirin no Hana is also Greg’s jam, but I stole it when he was having secksual relations with “that woman”. It’s far and away one of the best songs old Haikara ever did so I like it. And Maki (poor Maki…) does some singing in this song that blows away the rest of that…album they call Gouon Progressive. This would be the song to get anyone into Haikara and if I could point out any flaws in this song it would be Yusuke and his verses. But that’s minor stuff really; it’s fine the way it is. The Huge Hollow remix my friend Henry played for us is techno bliss.
Someone call pedo-control…
Kyuuseishu -Messiah- is one of those few Janne Da Arc songs I like (along with Tsumetai Kagerou, the first song I ever heard by them). IDK why I like it so. The guitars carry that twang that annoys me and the singer does something that does not please me but I guess it’s just the pure riffage that works in my favor. Since I’m getting tired (and I just came buckets) here’s the link which I slaved over to bring you.
Pardon crappy AMV….what started as a joke turned into reality not too long later.
And just to end this entire post on a good note, here’s the video for Madan~Der Freischutz by T.M. Revolution….
