Amamori Junna wa Shitsudo ga Takai - Ch. 1

[pir0zhki]

Okay, that makes sense. As a music nerd I read "heavy distorted guitars" and found the other bands mentioned but not Yohila.

The genre was no where near as heavy as I had hoped. Oh well.

Yeah I figured as much the moment I saw what kind of guitar she had lol

The guitar bag and genre they were talking about had me curious for a while only for her to pull out a telecaster. It's always a goddamned telecaster. Why do the Japanese love telecasters so damn much?

Jangly teles and strats, edge-of-breakup tones with minimal gain, and melodic riffs without a lot of the elements we would call "heavy" in the west are kind of a signature of Japanese rock. From what I've heard so far, utsu rock seems to lean a bit more into sliiiightly more gain and power chords instead of purely melodic lines, but still has a very similar kind of almost pop-rock feel. It's "heavy" in the same way that Incubus is "heavy" .

So like, girl are you really gonna turn your nose up to light music and then go and pull out a telecaster?
Like, I know I'm ribbing too much on the tele; it's a perfectly fine instrument and it's not like you can't play heavy music on one. But it's such a huge stereotype that her being pedantic about it is a bit funny.

And yeah idunno this series seems kinda self-indulgent so far in a "look how cultured I am" kinda way, but I guess I'm curious enough to hang around for at least a few chapters at least and see where this pairing goes.

"Oh yeah, you say you like a band? List every single one of their songs"
Christ, I get this is supposed to be them connecting, but I would tell her to eff off. How condescending!

i'm certain she's one of the yohila band members and she's trying to prove that he's not a real fan because he hasn't recognized her. that's why she also shows such a strong reaction when he mentions that band specifically. not that this changes anything from his perspective. i guess he's just too curious about a fellow utsu rock enjoyer to mind.

tbh this manga seems pretty well written so far. it hints at her being a band member multiple times without making it so obvious that the guy seems dense for not noticing immediately

but then again, I'm used to listening to progdeath/techdeath:

progdeath:

techdeath (feat. saxophone) (technically this specific one is also progdeath...):

Ooooh very nice. I'm a Doom/Stoner/Sludge dude myself.

Stoner Death Doom

Death Doom

That being said I prefer my stuff a little less Death focused

Post Sludge my beloved

Ain't no way there's a TK reference in here. Im like 90% sure that's the group that did a csm ending first death and Unravel. How cool

 

[czajkoSKY]

TK MENTIONED RAHHHHHH

Wait so it was this TK? That made song for anime 91 days and Tokyo ghoul?

Yep

She is not "one of the Yohila band members". Tee hee.

Uhm akshually, You can clearly see this Tele has 2 humbuckers, just cause it's a tele doesn't lock this guitar to a jangly edge of breakup indies tone.

HH Teles can push high amps just fine and historically have been used in hard rock, metal and alt metal etc styles.

Humbuckers naturally hit the amp harder, produce thicker mids, and handle distortion way better than the stereotypical vintage single-coil Tele setup you're describing.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. This is one thing, that is another. My point about her tele was more her playing into the stereotype despite seemingly trying to insist she's not a part of that. It's like someone saying "but I'm different!" yet in the end they still can't quite tear themselves away from what's familiar. "nuh uh my music is heavier" when all she's doing is playing pretty much the same riffs with warmer pickups and slightly more gain situation.
