This month, I asked for your help again to figure out which of my 20th anniversary pack I was going to upload :

I did not go with the one with the fewer votes, in the end lol, and the j-rock pack won :)

1st of the 20th anniversary series 2nd of the 20th anniversary series

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 5 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom

Making this post made me realize that i discovered most, if not all of these through rotation blog lol

GLAY - Two Bell Silence

Actually no, i'm prettu sure i found glay through limewire, now that I think about it... I have to admit, though, I didn't really keep up with them. Another one of these bands that aren't bad by any means, but I had other things to listen to, when I discovered them. So i ended up overlooking them.

Two bell silence was on the 灰とダイヤモンド (hai to dIamond) album, released in 1994

hide - Beauty & Stupid

I remember this being the first song I liked from hide. It also still regularly finds its way in my playlist, and has been for the past 20 years :)

Beauty & Stupid was a single released in 1996.

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Coming Closer

So laruku ended up being kind of far from my cup of tea, but i still did listen to them a little, you know, to figure out they were not my thing lmao. I remember putting this one on a disc for a school work i was doing on Japan lol, so it seemed fitting that i put it here too (but also I felt like stay away was too obvious x) ). It's not a bad song, but it's laruku, so it definitely sounds like... a laruku song.

Coming Closer was found on the SMILE album, from 2004

PENICILLIN - Imitation Love

Penicillin is one of these bands that I wish was better than they actually are XD Still, Imitation Love (and romance fwiw) too regularly finds its way to my playlist and have been doing so for the past 20 years

Imitation Love was the A-side of the Imitation Love/Never Ending Story single, released in 1996

Plastic Tree - バカになったのに (baka ni natta no ni)

Not gonna lie, I hesitated between this one and aoi tori. I ended up chosing baka ni natta no ni because i though is suited the other tracks better than aoi tori. I also burned this song on several disks, at the time ahah.

Baka ni natta no ni was a single released in 2003

i dont think ive ever seen that not all pixaledly crunchy kjfdhkdhf

Atsushi We Miss You

As we all mourn the tragic passing of the INCREDIBLE Atsushi Sakurai, I would like to honor him. Sadly I had made this magazine before his passing, and presented it almost in tears today in class, but it features Atsushi on the cover and a three spread article featuring Buck-Tick

Some X Japan pixels!

I tried to make these in the style of those hide ones, but these are all based on the Celebration MV~ image on the left is the bigger version and on the right is smaller and similar in size to the hide ones ^^

feel free to use, credit is appreciated!
