Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
I honestly have been really enjoying LoVendoR recently. What a great performance!
Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
I haven't gotten to watch their recent performances but I'm hoping to soon.

That one chord at the end of the first half of the chorus is so tasty. It's like a flower poking up through the cracks of a grimy urban sidewalk. I love shit like that.

I think the camera work is kind of terrible.
They're also in this month's Girl Pop.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Reina still sticks out like a sore thumb in that picture.
AS much as I love Reina...Too much Reina. I'd like to see much more of Marin (or is her name Marina I get the two confused)

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Yes then, Marina is the other vocalist. I should remember that since Marin is probably my favorite out of the three non-Reina girls.

Reina is pretty, has pretty voice and great stage presence. Yet I hope she could hide some of those talents of her to blend in with the group....at least in terms of appearance. One person standing out too much will jeopardize the existence of the group.

Isn't it good to have people stand out rather than a mesh of indistinguishable people?

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
The camera moves too much for me, but the songs really good. They also look more like a rock band now. Yuki's pretty good at standing out. But Reina stands out for two/three reasons. One and two are her hair color and overall fashion style. The third reason is that it's Reina's band, she's supposed to stand out to a degree.

I'm fine with standing out..... but Reina doesn't seem to have changed her image for the last.... 10 years??

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Reina knows what she likes. I don't know why people thought she was going to change her style to fit what people think a rock band should look like. Especially since it's been a year and a half since Love for started.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
I don't "expect" her to change because she hasn't ever changed but just that it would be interesting if she did

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Huh, this is actually quite a good song... Might buy this one. Would be the first song of theirs I bought. How heavily are they promoting it??
Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Lovendor do more promotion than you'd expect. They perform at a lot of festivals and do some TV stuff. They've also got a radio show.

This isn't a fair assessment. Her style's gotten far tackier as time has gone on.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Reina is the lead singer of a (nominal) rock band. She's supposed to stand out. A lot.
Also, I don't really like Marina's voice as a solo rock singer. She's fine singing harmonies, but they really should have just found instrumentalists who can also sing competent harmonies. And a permanent bass player and drummer. Then they'd be a group that people could get behind as a group. If the other "members" aren't getting their due, it's more likely that it's because they aren't seen as a "band" so much as a vehicle for Reina's post Musume career. I mean, everyone understands that LoVendoЯ would not exist except as a vehicle to advance Reina's career, but they could have done that within the context of a conventional rock band, and a conventional rock band would so much easier to market.
I do like this song quite a lot, though.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
I was thinking that maybe that drummer and bassist in the background have been hired on to play full-time, although not as members, since they actually put them in the MV.

I like that the song has a plot and they are playing in the night in an open location.

Could be, but it's not the same. I still think they missed the boat when putting this group together like this. It's just too odd. They're not a typical idol group, yet they are not quite a rock band, either, and whatever it is that they are feels forced and synthetic. Based on the music they're giving them, they could have used a ZONE-plus-one blueprint where everyone sings but Reina is the lead singer, and it would have worked perfectly.
That being said, the music is the best thing about this group now, and that's a good thing. After the way they started with the cover album and playing in rock clubs -- all of which felt really forced -- it's good to see them ditch the effort of convincing us that LoVendoЯ is a Serious Rock Band, and just accept that pop-idol-rock is the group's natural milieu.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
I actually like that more this cover. Reina doesn't stick out too much in a back way, but maybe take away those socks and I'd like it a lot more. Also my fake OCD is making me hate the fact that Marin's name is all alone below the others.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Lovendor had a concert today (part of a tour I think?) that featured three new songs:
01 Kono You ni Shinjitsu no Ai ga Hitotsudake Arunara
02 UNDERGROUNDER
03 Sweet Tweet
MC
04 Crazy Lazy (NEW SONG, almost Reina solo)
05 880 Yen
06 Shounen
07 Do you love me? (acoustic) (NEW SONG, mainly acoustic, mainly Marina solo)
08 Bukiyou (acoustic)
MC
09 Numbers (DOMINO88・作) (NEW SONG)
10 Musebinaku
11 Playback Part 2 (Marina solo) (Yamaguchi Momoe cover)
12 Saisatsu Butai (Reina solo) (Kinniku Shoujo Tai cover)
13 Princess of loneliness castle (Instrumental, written by Marin) (NEW SONG)
14 For the future (NEW SONG, by Uozumi)
15 Stonez!!
16 Honto no Kimochi
17 Ikujinashi
18 BINGO! (with surprise lottery. 2 people getting signed polaroids in the interlude)
(Encore)
19 Jinsei Maniac
MC
20 Omou ga Mama o Shinjite
Since they've already got new music out, I'm surprised they didn't just release the upcoming mini as a full album.

Re: LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band
Album ranked 41 with 2,082.
Also, Reina performed a song at her birthday event that she wrote herself. Not sure if it'll ever show up at a Lovendor live, but it's called Kimiiro Tomorrow.
