LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band

[Melon]

[quote name='neshcom' timestamp='1363357643' post='146942']

LoVendoR on the new UF LICKS with the full version of their "Tadori-tsuitara Itsumo Ame-furi." Also has a full version of Rolling Days, an Alma Kaminiito song, and Takui doing "Tell Me Tokyo"(?) with a string quartet. Hip thrusting has never been so graceful.

You did not mention Takui playing guitar and background singing during Rolling Days. I thank you for this since I completely fangirled out into embarrassing proportions. This is my favorite episode yet!



I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm totally hyped for each episode of UF LICKS. (Don't look at me like that, weekly doses of Takui are a huge factor yes, but I like the other acts featured too) I would totally buy a DVD of the live sets featured in this episode with all their acts singing together.



Lovender is good too, I'm just waiting for the studio versions to see exactly how things are going to sound for them. Even if I like their raw sound, it's not going to mean jack since even Live DVDs are processed nowadays.

[Anderei]

They got a blog too.



I'm not expecting Reina to post on it too much (if at all), but I'm sure the other girls will.

[star]

Its kind of sad that when they sing together, Marina's voice overpowers Reina's. But I like her voice, so its ok for now.

More Lovendor on this weeks UF LICKS

[neshcom]

Was that LoVendoR song from the beginning new or a cover? Also holy damn, they got a tour without a release? Gotta be all covers (hopefully H!P covers).



Lots a Takui this episode. I haven't heard a lot of him before, but he's so dreamy~ Also, damn how many suits does he have? Also, black ruffly shirt <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> Also, what's that chord progression in BLACKSIDE from? Sweet Dreams Are Made of This?

[Anderei]

They have performed one or two original songs at the MM concert I think and one of their blogs said the concert would have original material. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with a full album later this year.

Welcome to the club! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />



That studio version of the song where Reina doesn't sing lead in the clip sounds pretty awesome.



I don't know how I feel about Takui singing the "sweet sweet cherry" line in Asahi's song. He does has a slightly twisted sense of humor, he knows exactly what is being said. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /devil.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':devil:' /> (as his tour names have proven)



Anyone else hear Asahi in her news report say "SAVE THE MUSIC, SAVE THE ASSHOLE" @ 5:30 in the video. There, you've heard it now. You're welcome.



Blackside in the Mirror does sound like Sweet Dreams, but the original version was too heavy for me to even think of that comparison. The strings in the new version really make it apparent. (damn, that performance was from about 2001) He's hammed up that last line in the song for 12 years! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />



I really love this cross promotion and collaboration. Best idea UF has had in a long time.

When I told my boyfriend the name of Reina's band, he made me this:

Looks like their first concert is going to be streamed live tomorrow.



It'll be 6am Wednesday for East Coasters. Pretty sure the ustream page adjusts time zones if you're signed in.

I can't decide if I should A) Sleep through today, get up around 10pm and stay up all night, B) Go to bed early and set an alarm for 4:30am, so I'll be awake at 5. (< I live in the Central time zone.)

I probably won't be allowed to sleep during the day, but I never wake up on my alarms either.

Aw dicks, of course it's 10 AM here when I'm at work. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />

They aren't the best, but I'd actually wear all of them.

20 minutes to showtime.

Yeah, what I meant to say was that they're definitely targeted at girls rather than guys, but I felt edgy like that this morning. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />





Enjoy your live stream you spoiled bastards, while I slave away in the office. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/geof.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':geof:' />

[al kusanagi]

A bunch of hopping, chanting virgins with glowsticks is about as opposite of "metal" as you can get. Thanks for ruining everything, wota. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' />

[Shoujo Q]

I might get that guitar pic strap. I love guitar pics!



Anyway, listening to this concert. I'm... I'm REALLY bored guys. This sucks so bad. I can't... not with this. I don't like how they sound together at all.



I'm usually pretty optimistic with these things but there is nothing enjoyable about this concert. Not even the cover songs. This whole thing feels so wrong.

[al kusanagi]

I think they sound fine, except for having no need for a second vocalist (hint: it doesn't need to be Reina).

[Shoujo Q]

Marina redeemed herself by singing Blowin' in the Wind.

[al kusanagi]

Wow, that original song was BAD. Their voices just don't mesh well at all.



Ah well, I'll just ignore everything else and concentrate on my adorkable Marin. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[NekoKaiSai]

I liked Jinsei Maniac, granted the stupid ad made me miss a minute of it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

[al kusanagi]

Overall it could have been far worse. They need some good original material. The dual vocals suck together, but the rest of the band if fine. Reina is by far the weakest link in the group. Why couldn't it have been Takahashi?!?

[star]

If I have to get up at "fuuuck! Its too early in the morning", I expect something amazing. I'm not saying it was bad, becase I did enjoy it, but it could have been better.

Now its time to shift through the screenshots I took and make a new signature.

[Mukuro]

So instead of handshake events they do high-five events?



Loool.

[JPope]

Should do handshake events, but make everyone do the Rock-Lock.

I am impressed with Marina's English. Her pronunciation isn't perfect but the chorus was really good. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[star]

Marina's solo was probably my favorite part of the concert. I think I'm starting to like her more than Reina, but Marin with probably always be my favorite of the group because of her adorkable nature.

[neshcom]

New UFLICKS. Lots of clips of LoVendoRs 3/27 show, Takui talking bass guitars, behind-the-scenes stuff for Asahi's Sakura something song, Asahi singing the Sakura song H!P Station style, Takui talking and perfoming To You acoustic, and an awfully mixed full song from LoVendoR from the music fest.
