Why does no one ever say who the fuck they're talking about in these threads? Now I gotta do a reverse image-search of a cartoon bitch with her tits out just to find out who this "Japanese deathgrips" is.
I already watched it plenty of times. And will get the actual DVD one day, even though they go for 2000$-3000$. My favourite part is Mariko's "drumming" during ANA.
Looks like an adult Japanese woman.

>Weird how homosexuals go straight to thinking about underage boys when they see a petite woman.
Brainwashed into thinking femininity only comes in one form and that form is "thicc"
Well, I listened to it because of the album cover.
Holy hell, it doesn't sound like it. I expected some dreamy melancholic noise but got the lovechild of Haru Nemuri and HMLTD instead.
299792458 is arguably better than any Midori album. ゲンズブールに愛されて is also up there. But it's hard to compare albums in entirely different and barely definable genres.
that leg expresses how long women can go, but men belittle them by only noticing their boobs and ass.
you wouldn't understand with your little man brain.
Rewatched Sayonara Goto-san for the billionth time, still cried like a bitch on every other song. Also, they played only 2 songs off the OP album, they know that Second and Shinsekai are better.
After getting drunk and scaring a couple from the swings, Mariko decided to go out in the middle of the night and play guitar in the park for an hour. I wish i had so much freedom.

It's good.
If you like punk and free jazz, then go ahead. Think Fishermans having an affair with the Pistols.

She's more well than any of us. Nothing wrong with passion and shamelessness. But she does have problems with memory.

The absolute state. There's also lack of re-releases.
can't believe they stopped playing in 2010. is it possible for an act like this to make it big again? this type of music, with this strong of a niche following, in this modern day and age?
i feel like no bands make it big anymore. i can't even think of one hot new act that is a band.
>can't believe they stopped playing in 2010
Why? It wasn't that surprising that Mariko felt like retiring after 7 years of crazy performances. >make it big
Midori was never even close to being big.

Is there a reason other than her performances you say she wasn't sane?
This outfit always reminds me of that time she got arrested.
I never said she's not sane. Just weird. >What did she get arrested for?
Playing music.
Shimizu is not as rare as those but I found a copy going for £100, regret not picking it up
I got all 3 records for 170$. Seller didn't know what he had. I also bought Acoustic Violence POP from Japan recently, but it's still in transit, shipping from Japan is ridiculous.

Yes. Unless you think that she's secretly cutting in the middle of the songs. Her legs are also fucked up, by the way, and i cant even imagine how bad right side of her head looks under the hair.

What did she do to get arrested? Was it that time she threw a photographer's camera into the crowd and hit someone?

Crazy how well she looks for 41, considering she smokes, drinks like a fish and has had an "eventful" career.
She doesn't drink that much(can't do that when you get wasted from 2 cans of beer). And she only smokes when she drinks, i think. Plus, never wearing makeup does wonders for you.

I want to go next year, but it's very expensive and getting a visa is hard nowadays.
Damn, there's pretty good chance a new album is coming out next year and her release tours are always amazing.
I actually got tickets for her Shelter show. Will be flying to Japan the day before. Not sure what to expect never been to Japan. Maybe I'll see you there anon.
based. It's also my first time in Japan, but I'll have been there for a few weeks already by the time I go to her show. Are you going to the November 12th show?
Same first time there. I'll be arriving the day before so hopefully not too jet lagged for the Nov 12 show. Are you going to the Psychic Fes on Nov 18? I can't get tickets for it.
Nice, I'll either be wearing a Midori x Perfume white Tower Records shirt or the Shimizu Midori shirt. I'll be there with two other anons that I'm travelling with. If you see us, come say hi and we can hang out in shimokita afterwards if you're down. I'm not planning on going to the Nov 18 show right now, but I might decide to go last minute if it works out.
I think you're confusing Mariko with Seiko Oomori.
Nah, she did get married in 2010
https://natalie.mu/music/news/34490
And then divorced the guy sometime after. You can find some details on Japanese sites.
I remember reading an interview from 2011 about the reasons she returned to music and she was definitely living alone. The guy probably ran as fast as he could after a couple of months
They were posted fairly often since forever, now Midori are actually at their low of LULZ popularity.
Context?
>King Records
Her old twitter was deleted and i don't remember exact words, but she announced her retirement only a month or two after release of the third album, and it's still unavailable on streaming, so there was some drama. >Sony
They abandoned promoting her(or promoted in the wrong way, i can't remember), she ended up organising and promoting shows on her own and was dropped. The whole Shibuya-AX concert drama was ridiculous. If you watch any of her late 2014 live performances it's very clear that she had barely any strength left.
Not at the time. After alt-idol culture took off Mariko performing with them isn't that surprising (especially since she's writing the songs), but that's from 2013.
It's pretty funny how a lot of working musicians only have like 3 guitars (maybe 4 if they were given one for free by fender or w/e) while the people who talk about guitars all the time are the ones who have a wall of them.
There are certainly exceptions, especially with older semi-retired musicians. But from the interviews I've seen during creative periods it's common for the best stuff to come out of using 1-2 guitars with a single amp if one at all. I think like 80% of J Mascis' stuff was written while he was watching tv.
>What's the criteria for that?
Usually being in a band at an event with a fender rep. A lot of young bands have fenders they got for playing at a festival. It's pretty cheap advertising to give a bunch of young bands free JMs and p basses.
She does livestreams from home sometimes. Mostly talking about food, music or concert stuff. Sometimes she plays demos of songs she's working on. Sometimes she sings and plays guitars but always gets interrupted by her cats.
I prefer the city slicking or playing music outside streams.
>where do i find it?
There's this thing called "search engine". >does she still stream?
Yes, streamed a couple of hours ago, but she was so shitfaced that she forgot to turn on the camera and fell asleep in 7 minutes.
As quirky and saccharine as it sounds, her Acoustic Violence POP project is actually pretty good. Last Waltz is a fun song.
The streams where she'll grab her guitar and play those songs outside are really comfy.
such a lewd album cover, I can't look upon it
They predate dg by almost a decade.
Look at the vinyl version. It has a bush.
And a freakishly long thigh that ruins everything.
>bush
>long thighs
>ruining anything
Ever considered that you might just be a homosexual?
The tigh looks out of proportion, like that one poster from the Ready Player One movie lmao.
Puritan fag
Except good
Midori has a better drummer though
fpwp
>japanese death grips
tell you only listen to LULZcore without telling me you only listen to LULZcore
Yeah because deathgrips created and are the only ones that mix punk with other kinds of music. You could say that deathgrips is a more hip hop version of the butthole surfers
It's not punk.
retard
Massive cope. Or retarded?
Punk should be political.
Not really.
But I'll concede that Midori progresses far beyond a basic punk formula, and that's a good thing.
>nig nog version of butthole surfers
yeah idk about that
mc ride never talked about his influences because they were bands like slipknot and korn
CUTIE
HONEY
I still don't get why this cover is fine, but picrelated had to be censored to release on streaming.
vagina
It's just a bit of a bush.
Mariko Goto is just like MC Ride, except female, japanese and talented.
> Mariko Goto is just like MC Ride
you've never once explored punk have you
What album was that originally supposed to be?
what booru tags do I look up to find more of this cover artist or character
finner cummola
Hajimemashite got censored as well, retard.
Where?
Best song
?si=CFNvdDTirimwlKKG
That song is a classic and should be noise rock cannon. Its the best example of melodious softness mixed with harshness
This song always feels like an Usagi throwback.
Her thigh is hilariously out of proportion. Who's on the cover anyway? It's obviously not Mariko.
Japanese Death Grips, my ass!
Not even close.
More like the fucking Allman Brothers,
I'd still rather listen to the Allman Brothers (Band).
Yeah, definitely
Death grips were extremely cringe about 6 years ago
Grow up
>guy who’s only ever listened to death grips hearing his second band ever
Hmm… getting a lot of death grips vibes from this…
Why does no one ever say who the fuck they're talking about in these threads? Now I gotta do a reverse image-search of a cartoon bitch with her tits out just to find out who this "Japanese deathgrips" is.
>Why does no one ever say who the fuck they're talking about in these threads?
It's common knowledge on here
You're expected to know Midori. It's okay though, lurk more and you'll get the hang of it.
Bad music for bad people
This one has plenty of panty action if that's what you're into.
Some earrape:
I already watched it plenty of times. And will get the actual DVD one day, even though they go for 2000$-3000$. My favourite part is Mariko's "drumming" during ANA.
Disgusting.
Other albums are better.
japanese radiohead
No, that would be the shitty Dregs band.
you are utterly retarded. how is this in any way like death grips?
Good artwork
dumbest take I've heard since the last time I was on LULZ
Was Mariko actually insane ?
Normal people don't lie on the sidewalk in the middle of the night.
But no, she's a fairly normal lady. Very sweet and funny. Just don't give her a microphone.
>fairly normal lady
its fake blood you retard
the one in this video isn't
Fuck that actually made me cry wtf
Watch the entire show. It's amazing.
Yeah, fake blood, fake cuts and fake swelling.

i guess they're both noise bands but I don't see what else they have in common, dg is more of an internet phenomenon while midori isnt
Mariko is the worst member of the band and coomers/weebs will never admit this.
fantano shit core and overrated weeb shit
Well, I listened to it because of the album cover.
Holy hell, it doesn't sound like it. I expected some dreamy melancholic noise but got the lovechild of Haru Nemuri and HMLTD instead.
>Haru Nemuri
lolwut
Go listen to Haru To Shura.
It's nothing like Midori.
Well, there is an obvious connection - Mariko wrote a lot of Haru's early songs.
okay so i actually listened to the record after i saw this thread and i gotta say, obviously bait
they sound nothing alike
That's one large leg
>Japanese Death Grips
That's Melt Banana
That's an insult to Melt Banana
Nah. In the early days, Death Grips had something to say ... EXMILITARY, THE MONEY STORE and NO LOVE DEEP WEB are all great.
Same with Melt-Banana (well. up-to-and-including CELL SCAPE, I mean...)
299792458 is arguably better than any Midori album. ゲンズブールに愛されて is also up there. But it's hard to compare albums in entirely different and barely definable genres.
Exmilitary is the only good DG project.
>Exmilitary is the only good DG project.
so brave ... yet so wrong.
you'll get it next time, anon!
Midori is like Japanese noise version of The Dresden Dolls
>is
Was.
Who wouldn't?
that leg expresses how long women can go, but men belittle them by only noticing their boobs and ass.
you wouldn't understand with your little man brain.
How the FUCK am I supposed to get a physical copy of any of their albums
try discogs
Japanese auctions, if you don't want to overpay. Some of the early stuff is unobtanium though.
Ever heard of amazon?
>another 2 hours of unannounced streams dropped
Well, time to see how many cats she will harass this time.
where can i watch her streams?
Interesting shit is streamed on youtube. She plans to do a 36 hour live from the studio in a couple of weeks.
are any of her streams archived?
Rewatched Sayonara Goto-san for the billionth time, still cried like a bitch on every other song. Also, they played only 2 songs off the OP album, they know that Second and Shinsekai are better.
Youtube stuff gets deleted after a week.
Such a womanchild.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
TL:DR Mariko
Where to start?
Here
. It's her most beginner-friendly album.
After getting drunk and scaring a couple from the swings, Mariko decided to go out in the middle of the night and play guitar in the park for an hour. I wish i had so much freedom.
I have 500gb of music in my SSD and this is my favorite album and my favorite band. Mariko Goto supremacy.
>Aramamemasite,
It's あらためまして
Mistyped nihongo bro
Except they are actually good and doesn't have... "that"... problem Death Grips has.
so should i listen to this or will it be trash like all of LULZs recs
DO NOT
I'm
It's good.
If you like punk and free jazz, then go ahead. Think Fishermans having an affair with the Pistols.
Too little improvisation to be called free jazz. Only bass player and Mariko improvise on the regular, Hajime needs to be in the mood.
>Mariko is like actually mentally unwell lmao
She's more well than any of us. Nothing wrong with passion and shamelessness. But she does have problems with memory.

No-pantsu hag.

That's impossible.
A lot of people don't know that Mariko also does stage plays occasionally. Even played Juliette back in the day, can't even imagine how bad it was.

I think there was another story where she broke up with a boyfriend after just a day as well.

No, unless you thought she really married Keichi Sokabe.
Nah, she did get married in 2010
https://natalie.mu/music/news/34490
And then divorced the guy sometime after. You can find some details on Japanese sites.
I remember reading an interview from 2011 about the reasons she returned to music and she was definitely living alone. The guy probably ran as fast as he could after a couple of months
Her twitter is kinda depressing.

She has one right now, me
Any more groups like Midori? Someone recced Mutyumu to me a while back but it ain't the same
385. Most of their stuff isn't on streaming though.
Play Big Black or Rapeman and some free jazz at the same time. I'm not even joking.
Cutting your hands and legs is harmless if you don't mind scars
Hitting yourself wth a microphone to the point of bleeding is moronic
Breaking your spine is harmless if you don't mind not ever walking again
Brutal.

I care, it's a great album.
Tigers won, i wanted to make a video of Mariko singing their anthem, but downloading a 3 hour stream just for that is too much.
It's a bit amateurish but i love the ambition. Plus, the tomboyish voice is great.
I just started listening to this album and has everyone noticed how persona 3 and 5 soundtrack sounds short of similar?
Don't know, I'm not fat.
schizo
ones noise rock one is electronic theyre not the same
Earliest Midori footage available, back when they had the sampler dude:
I don't get why she loves Sex Pistols so much.
King Brothers and Joplin is understandable, but Pistols...
Only pretentious fags hate pistols.
Shinsekai is better
correct. early midori sucks
Midoritbh is late Midori.
Second is their best album.
If Harumero didn't exist, there could be a legit argument between Shinsekai and Second.
i know i'm talking about the demos prior to second
First is good, Second Demo is mostly bad, First Demo is fascinating(probably should've remade Sasu, that song had potential).
Mariko is tiny.

I started browsing LULZ 2012ish and Midori has been regularly posted.
They were posted fairly often since forever, now Midori are actually at their low of LULZ popularity.
>King Records
Her old twitter was deleted and i don't remember exact words, but she announced her retirement only a month or two after release of the third album, and it's still unavailable on streaming, so there was some drama.
>Sony
They abandoned promoting her(or promoted in the wrong way, i can't remember), she ended up organising and promoting shows on her own and was dropped. The whole Shibuya-AX concert drama was ridiculous. If you watch any of her late 2014 live performances it's very clear that she had barely any strength left.
she looks so beautiful here
flat is justice
They were LULZcore at one point but now just a relic of a better era
Amazing guitar.
Only two songs from the tiddy album, they know it's inferior.
Oh, can't forget that one time Sony booked har at an idol show. Because she sure fits in this line-up.
There's more crossover than you'd expect
Not at the time. After alt-idol culture took off Mariko performing with them isn't that surprising (especially since she's writing the songs), but that's from 2013.
BiS and BiS Kaidan was in the early 2010s, around then
because Midori/Mariko is based, and certified LULZcore
Yes, but alt-idols really blew up when Seiko got big in 2014, now it seems like there's more alt-idols than actual normal idols.
Also, most of the songs she wrote for idols aren't that good, early ones in particular.
Her poorfag collection.
Top left is a MIJ Mustang, bottom left is the Toronado.
In a fair world she would get a signature guitar and Rick Beato would live in poverty.
It's pretty funny how a lot of working musicians only have like 3 guitars (maybe 4 if they were given one for free by fender or w/e) while the people who talk about guitars all the time are the ones who have a wall of them.
She also doesn't use an amp at home.
You don't really need one especially if you spend $120 on an audio interface. If I lived in an apartment I'd probably just use mine 100% of the time.
Well, a Discrete 4 cost 10 times more, but yeah, still cheaper than buying a tube amp and an attenuator.
But Johnny Marr...
There are certainly exceptions, especially with older semi-retired musicians. But from the interviews I've seen during creative periods it's common for the best stuff to come out of using 1-2 guitars with a single amp if one at all. I think like 80% of J Mascis' stuff was written while he was watching tv.
>Fernandez
da fuck?
how the fuck is this stupid thread alive after almost a week
Anime booba, that's how
Love finds a way.
Best sex song ever:
>if they were given one for free by fender or w/e
What's the criteria for that?
Anyway, here's a rare Mariko with a strat.
>What's the criteria for that?
Usually being in a band at an event with a fender rep. A lot of young bands have fenders they got for playing at a festival. It's pretty cheap advertising to give a bunch of young bands free JMs and p basses.
Do they give american or mexican guitars?
Start a band and get into Coachella and find out
>10 days until the 36 hour livestream
RIP
Mariko seems like the most cheerful sad person in the world.
I wish she would stop drinking so much.
Why are you concerned with what she does? You don't know her.
whats with this thread being alive for so long? what the fuck are you guys discussing here?
>what the fuck are you guys discussing here?
Benefits of self-harming.
Her current boyfriend is a Hanshin Tigers player. He also doesn't know that he's her boyfriend.
this reminds me of how people were comparing kero kero bonito to death grips
pov: u are walking down the streets and you see mariko goto hanging out with her bf
She actually used to punch and kick fans in the early days. And spit on them.
Drummer-kun barely aged.
drummer kun is in a wildly popular band now
Was. He retired 2 years ago.
But yeah, Nigami is far more popular than Midori ever was.

That's some crazy good fidelity and lighting for a phone video.
It's Japan, so there's a 95% probability that it was shot on an iPhone.
Damn bitch, you live like this?
>itoddler
>nintoddler
i mean nintendo came from japan so maybe she gets a pass
Comfy
where does this video come from?
She does livestreams from home sometimes. Mostly talking about food, music or concert stuff. Sometimes she plays demos of songs she's working on. Sometimes she sings and plays guitars but always gets interrupted by her cats.
I prefer the city slicking or playing music outside streams.
where do i find it? does she still stream?
>where do i find it?
There's this thing called "search engine".
>does she still stream?
Yes, streamed a couple of hours ago, but she was so shitfaced that she forgot to turn on the camera and fell asleep in 7 minutes.
i see. all i see is a cup of cup noodle and i do not understand what she is saying
In the archive there's a recent video where she sings outside in the middle of the night. It's the one with just the guitar in the thumbnail.
who cares
It's great that Japan is so hard on drugs.
of course it's a
>band, japan
thread that is up for insanely long on LULZ
As if this happens often.
It happens way more than it should.
Can’t wait for this thread to die
Not enough frog/trustfund/deftones/kpop threads for your liking?
Thanks for speeding up the process
No problem.
Hajime is also pretty successful now. Even played for GLAY.
Base player did some session work and retired.
They are all normal people with families now, only Mariko is a lonely alcoholic.

It was a good run, now i can finally sleep.
As quirky and saccharine as it sounds, her Acoustic Violence POP project is actually pretty good. Last Waltz is a fun song.
The streams where she'll grab her guitar and play those songs outside are really comfy.
nice
