So here's a thing that really meets the #GenreBender theme for #JukeboxFridayNight

A trio of Japanese schoolgirls delivering a Metal and J-Pop cross over, known as Kawaii Metal (cute metal), a genre they are credited with creating

@Twoclownseating Not really my thing but nothing but 100% respect for them for creating this genre haha

@symthetics not mine either but they've got a niche package going on and thought of them straight away. I've listened to a bit of their stuff. Weirdly I like the J-Pop elements more than the harder parts. They've won Kerrang awards and everything

I discovered them in lockdown, searching for weird and wonderful stuff to amuse my friends. Not getting played at my funeral 😉

@Twoclownseating Haha yeah with you there, but I'm not really a full on metal head.. love stuff like deftones in parts but I can't really do full on technical metal etc after a while.. but too much for me hah 😅

I do appreciate the blend these guys hit though, it's a clever balance. As you say yeah maybe not at my funeral haha. I think I'd go for this: https://youtu.be/6J-mUCWrEzo

@symthetics this is more up my street, though I'm a very broad listener. Not sad enough for my funeral though, I'm worried nobody will be that bothered so i'm drafting the saddest tunes ever recorded to hammer home how tragic my passing will be 😂

Have a great weekend and kiss your old Mastodon messages goodbye

@Twoclownseating you too mate, and yeah I'll give a good send-off 😄
