It's okay, I'm not going to slaughter you if you don't agree about the Evanescence thing. But look at it this way...they're more like Evanescence than a lot of J-Rock bands, right?
However...please don't compare them to "move"!
"move" is SO J-Pop compared to HandMC...not that J-Pop is bad, definitely, it's just that I just don't care for move's style. Like, at all.
And I wouldn't really say HandMC is "typical anime JPOP" either. Typical anime J-Pop to me is epitomized by artists like Nami Tamaki, TM Revolution, and Maaya Sakamoto. Not-so-typical anime tracks, IMO, are ones like PRIDE, and L'Arc~en~Ciel's "READY STEADY GO!" for Full Metal Alchemist.
Though, you said you've DLed the PRIDE single. So...given "Hikaru Kakera", I guess I can see where you're coming from with the pop idea. I still haven't heard full versions of either of the c/w's, but "all alone" didn't sound any more poppy than "PRIDE", which IMO isn't much.
"OVER", on the other hand...well...take a listen.
Not too pop either.
And thanks for the PV upload Biscuit, you just saved me a ton of time uploading. (I was going to upload it, but I'm on *dial-up*. Yes, pity me.
