Specifically the GazettE's SHIVER after someone requested it, but I suppose it also applies to other jrock/indie bands too.
Well, first off, I personally think that the band's/artist's style changes when folks move to huge lables which usually specialises in pop music. Not just the music, but the clothes, makeup and generally how they present themselves in videos and comments. This is pretty normal as each label wants different things.
Like I always say, they just grow out of all the fancy clothes to attract attention. I guess dressing up gets tiring... especially when you get older (HO YES JROCKERS GROW OLD AND WILL ALSO GROW BEARDS. Oh, except for gackt but he's a special case.)
In the case of the GazettE first single with good ol' Sony, as much as I'd hate to admit to myself. They've tamed and gotten softer to my ears. It's a shame people believe they made the song FOR the anime, when it was really the other way round. Either way, I can't deny the song sounding ...well, a little flat and boring.
Oh, before everyone rages, I am a gazettE fan. I like their recent stuff and I'm pretty open to new ideas, it's just... If a song is good, then it's good. This song, just isn't my regular cup of tea. Maybe it'll grow on me.
On the downside, the kid main character in the upcoming kuroshitsuji season pisses me off in the short 1minute trailer so I have no idea if I ctually have anything to look forward to. (yeh this is the anime they're using SHIVER for)
On the brightside, let's hope their B and C tracks are heavier... I can't imagine a song titled "Hesitating Means Death" sounding very happy... unless... they somehow wrote the song in a cheesestring factory. Positive cheddary fun for children and everyone!!
You know it could be worst.
Imagine this.
Well, we all know jrockers are stiff in the joints anyways, maybe with them all body popping would be legendary.
