Unlike my last post. I will not delete this blog. I noticed that it is used by many people around the world as a research resource and a means of reference for people who are starting collections of several artists already posted here.

Moreover, many people are still helping me with my collection of Shaura (ex. Juka). And it has left me very happy because I won that objects never imagined finding. And I will continue to use this blog to show my joy and satisfaction for the help and kindness of these people.

He was happy to support this band, which recently got my attention and lose my eye. With this, also started a small collection of them that will be published here soon.

REVIEW - The Reminiscence Of War [EN]

Today I finally received my copy of the CD The Reminiscence Of War, I bought in the Brand-x Store and I was very pleased by this. The package I got came with CD + Photo Set with 7 pics + comment DVD + In Store ticket. The photo set is really beautiful, and I quite liked the new look of the band. The comment DVD has 15 minutes and the members seem very friendly. It is a pity that I am not in Japan to go on "In Store", but I'll save the ticket as a souvenir.



Now let's talk about the songs!

Be Sacrificed
It is a remastered version released what was released on V.A. Explosion Case Show. The quality of it is clearly superior. The music has a guttural that no appeal. However, the chorus of it is pretty exciting. The guitars are in tune even though I still find the long solo is unnecessary. This is the only song on the CD that has the Shaura doing falsetto.

Shattered Sky
The music begins a Masato's solo that I quite like . Because of it he gained some prominence in this song, yet the guitars are the main instruments here. I see this song as a song "uncommitted"since it has an experimental air. The whispers on the piano were very interesting. But this mix of throaty whispers and reminds me a lot of bands with a pop appeal, which I do not know if it's good so far.

SEXUAL DESIRE
This song had already been distributed in a show and it was remastered. I really like how it develops. Shaura sings like a "light" and very attractive. Here's falsetto at the end of the chorus. But it do not bother me. Mikage in the battery leads the music with light, almost just marking time.

REVELATIONS
VII-Sense's fans had the opportunity to choose the name of this song. There was a contest to choose it before the end of the Red-List. REVALATIONS had his clip distributed at a show and has also been remastered. The music is really one of the best on this album, and I like to say that it is a complete song. KAZ starts with doing a solo piano in a classical style. Then come the guitars, bass and drum heavy, and now accompanied by an orchestra in a extreme harmony with the music. It is very exciting, and I'm imagining the performance of a live band. In it we have plenty of falsetto, but I really like in on this song. We have almost 2 minutes of guitar solos. Although it seems very, soils are very harmonic and not just single notes in the air. REVELATIONS is undoubtedly one of the best songs to this date.

Proudia
Ever since I heard the preview of Proud I enjoyed this, and I certainly was not wrong. It's hard for me to talk about it because it has a footprint, and especially a proposal different from other works of the VII-Sense. The song begins with a perfect quartet consisting of piano, guitar, bass and drums. Therefore in the following section, a guitar and suddenly ... Shaura tone up! I think that's what call more attention, the tone sung by him is different than we used to hear, and it certainly made ​​my ears more attentive. The chorus is very beautiful, accompanied by an orchestra, probably made ​​by KAZ on the keyboard. Until the end of the music piano is present, where KAZ show off their talent. The high point of music is when all the instruments are silent and suddenly a Shaura, beautifully, sings a solo creep anyone and after that remains accompanied by piano and orchestra. Again, the instruments stop and the music is taken from the battery of Mikage. This song has everything I always hoped of VII-Sense and especially of Shaura. A mix of excitement with emotion are the key elements of Proud.

Undoubtedly The Reminiscence Of War is the best release of VII-Sense. The recording quality is impeccable. The band's evolution is clear and undeniable. And members are maturing with their new experiences.

I'm still sad that the band have fewer than 200 regular fans in Japan, and the numbers are growing. Actually I'm hoping that the single's release with the Art Cube can make the band grow a little more.

Until next time!

Video Session in Taiwan

No dia 2 de Outubro deste ano houve um evento chamado: "2010藝術之秋 - 視覺音樂祭".
Este, foi um evento de J-Rock promovido em Taiwan e contou com uma programação muito especial.
Com autorização de algumas bandas visuais japonesas, a equipe do Raku Music exibiu vídeos que foram reproduzidos em uma sessão especial para os participantes. Além, é claro, de vender material original e até mesmo autografado pelos integrantes das bandas exibidas.

Nesta sessão de vídeo, vários clipes foram reproduzidos. Entre eles o 3º PV do VII-Sense e um cometário mais do que especial da banda Secilia Luna. Onde o vocalista Mirai se esforçou e deu seus melhores comprimentos em chinês para os fãs de Taiwan!

Veja o vídeo:


Falando sobre os goods e CDs que foram vendidos, quem reservou ou comprou algum CD ganhaou um cartão postal de sua respectiva banda. Especialmente produzido para o evento, os cartões foram escritos em Chinês tradicional, além de serem devidamente autorizados e oficializados pelas bandas.

Veja a imagem:


Mas para este dedicado colecionador, o que mais me impressionou foi o tratamento especial que a Raku Music me proporcionou. Após entrar em contato com a equipe, eu recebi um e-mail solicitando meu endereço e pedindo para que eu aguardasse alguns dias. E apenas uma semana depois, eu fui surpreendido, assim que cheguei em casa, após uma longa semana na faculdade:

Por sorte, eles entenderam o meu e-mail e talvez o quanto dedicado eu sou.
Apenas sei que fiquei muito feliz com o presente que veio de um lugar onde alguns já debocharam de mim. Mas, felizmente, nem todas as pessoas são iguais!

Agradecimento especial: Raku Music & Visualzine

Jukalizar

Hoje eu parei única e exclusivamente para olhar meus goods...
Peguei um por um, olhei cada detalhe. Cheguei até a imaginar as pessoas que pegaram neles antes de serem ditos "meus". E principalmente os momentos que alguns deles foram autografados. Seria muito bom estar presente nestas horas. Não é a mesma coisa recebe-los, mesmo que seja dedicado à você. A sensação de uma sessão de autógrafos, como eles chamam "Talk and handshake", deve se a coisa mais gostosa do mundo. Além de ser emocionante.



Às vezes me pergunto: "Pra quê?"
Eu passo boas horas do meu final de semana, que é o único tempo que me sobrou depois de ingressar na faculdade, para procurar coisas que ainda me faltam. Ou então, para divulgar o trabalho do Shaura, postar no Orkut ou simplesmente conversar sobre ele com algum fã que tenha o que me acrescentar. Mas... pra quê?

Refleti sobre isso o dia inteiro. E, felizmente, eu consegui tirar uma boa conclusão:

Todos nós precisamos de algo para se apoiar. De fato, somos fracos para seguir em frete sozinhos. Esta obsessão ou fanatismo, como quiser chamar, é onde eu me refugio e principalmente me apoio. Senti-lo próximo a mim, seja em música, foto, vídeo ou até mesmo cheiro, me dá um traquilidade e uma sensação inexplicável. E que nos momentos mais difíceis eu não acho em lugar nenhum. Mas posso achar nele, ou em uma simples reportagem em preto e branco. Tal qual só entendo o título: "Juka".

Acho que isso é um pouco do que eu entendi sobre esta particular mania, que chamo de "Jukalizar", ou atualmente, "Shauralizar". Inpendente, se para algum leitor essa citação acima não é suficiente para, talvez, justificar esse vício. Gostaria de dizer que: para muitos, assim como eu, é. E isso, nos satisfaz.
