The official HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR thread!

*Imagines how good move would be with less rap. The music and Yuri are wonderful, but that rapper's got to go, or at least be a little less interrupting...><;

I think the only song where he doesn't bother me is 'come together', my favorite move song. ^_^

I first discovered this band back from last year.
I heard their pride song from the Gundam Seed Destiny anime.
I fell in love with them from then on.

I think they will have a very bright future ahead of them.

I heard the full song before seeing the OP, so only a few images pop into my mind when I hear it now.

Personally, I consider HandMC to be in the pop-rock genre. They're part pop, part rock.

Thanks for the offer BanFan, but I finally placed my order for the singles today, so I'll just wait a few days and hear it all from the CD itself. ^_^ *is ecstatic*

And true, Yuusuke's rapping is much less abrasive than a lot of others, move's rapper included. I also don't mind him at all, and I actually think he sounds pretty cool in OVER, in which he has a much larger role than in PRIDE.

Welcome to the thread baby_cinnamon!

@ Mirai Noah: So you heard the song before seeing the opening, and also before the PV? Since I saw the PV first, if I ever see the opening, I'll still probably invision the PV forever. And if music genres are like crayons, I'd lean more towards "rock-pop" personally. (That was a stupid reference at Crayola colors like orange-yellow and yellow-orange, don't mind that, I'm weird.) My *only* gripe with that is that they call Ayu pop-rock a lot, and if you throw Ayu next to HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, it looks more like (IMO) pop to pop-rock (Ayu), and rock (HandMC). But like I said, we all have different opinions about genres.

I say there Video Pride last night ! And I feel in love with the song!

[littlefairyfromnam]

I saw the live version of pride and thought it was pretty good.. the pv didn't do anything for me, though.

[MsMiyabi]

the pv was great never seen it live though!

[_CREA_]

The live can be found here.

The live is pretty good. littlefairyfromnam, when you say that the PV did nothing for you, do you mean you didn't care for the PV version of the song, or that the PV itself was kind of blah?

[MsMiyabi]

does anyone have to song or the single ? I really wanna put them on my Ipod looks like I will be buying there first Album!

[Minimum_Payne]

damn this band is fricken awesome, one of my fav j-rock bands.

As for the Evanescence comparison, their image and their overall music styles aren't really similar. Like someone mentioned, Evanescence has a more depress sound and HandMC is more active or happy. But the riff in All Alone reminded me of Going Under and Haunted.

As for the rapper, that guy is so out of place!! he's even more annoying in live performances than on the cd versions of the songs. so much "wahh wahh wahh," basically screaming with a high pitch, and the Engrish lyrics are a joke. Most of the time, I couldn't make out what he says. And don't compare this guy to Motsu from move. AT least Motsu could rap clearer, faster and he's a way better lyricist than this guy but then, he studied in the U.S. and the HandMC guy didn't....still Motsu is better.

[MsMiyabi]

Yeah and im not really into JRock to be honest only Jrock band I listen 2 is Luna Sea!

Congratulations to HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR for their OVER single, released 4/20, which debuted at 9 on the Oricon charts! *waves little flags*

In other news, my PRIDE and PRIDE Remix singles SHOULD be coming today (YesAsia is so slow), and OVER should be following soon.

I'm making a fanlisting for H&MC as well! It's about 2/3 done with the basics, and I've already been approved by thefanlistings.org. Yay. ^_^

[BanFan]

The OVER single isn't that great, I'll wait for the album...

[_CREA_]

I love OVER itself personally. Are the c/w's not that great? I'm indifferent with them, judging by the samples...change sounded all "genki!" and INSOMNIA sounded depressing.

[Mirai Noah]

Hmmm... I like OVER, but not as much as PRIDE.

[PsyGen]

^ Agrees Gratz on HandMC's first week sales. Hopefully their album will do just as good. Can't wait

[_CREA_]

Update: OVER is still hanging in there at 13 on the Oricon charts. ^_^

http://www.oricondd.com/ranking/daily_single.php

I like PRIDE better than OVER too, but OVER has a certain fun quality to it that I like too. It seems like it should be more of a summer single to me.

My singles did come (except OVER of course)...I was looking at the lyrics to "all alone", it's so depressing. o_o;

Oh, have any of you heard anything from the PRIDE Remix single? The H/\L's MIX 2005 is awesome. *.* (Not all the remixes are awesome though... *hides from the Real Latin Players Mix* )

Can anyone upload some of their stuff (I know they're kinda new so there isn't much).

I saw the OVER single yesterday and I like the cover.

[_CREA_]

I'm in the process of uploading PRIDE and the H/\L's MIX 2005, but in 64 kbps WMA. Suck it up, I'm on dial-up. I'm trying YouShareIt for the first time so hopefully it'll work...I'll be back when and if it does.

EDIT: Here's PRIDE.

EDIT #2: And here's PRIDE ~H/\L's MIX 2005~.

Yeah, OVER's wonderful, but the c/ws were a lot better on the first single..*waits patiently for 3rd single or 1st album*
