Bangal Radio Theater

Apart from two singles, I didn't own anything of Jinkaku Radio. I knew they were a visual rock band, and since my experiences with such bands are usually good, I decided to give this a try. Picture and sound are good, and I must say I really like the stage at Shibuya AX this time. Large dot-screens projecting things like Japanese words. Kind of reminds me of other gigs that had this feature, such as Gekokujo of Miyavi. Anyway, the music. Any good? Well, yes. It's a softer kind of rock with lots of piano and keyboard pre-programmed, focused around the singer/guitarist and the bassist. The second guitarist (with cute glasses!) and the drummer are support members, but get a lot of time in the spotlight also. The visuals are basically make-up, modified hair and dressed in black tuxedos. Nice enough, similar to bands like Kagerou and Girugamesh. The gig lasts for 2 full hours, hence why it's a little expensive. The end of the concert is very fun, with dancing girls, loads of fanservice and a couple of laughs. ^___^ Visual rock fans don't have to be afraid to purchase this. It's neat, even though Jinkaku Radio isn't a well-known name overseas.

If you thought that they are a boring band, stop doing that rightaway. The DVD has been made carefully; the way it's been shot and mixed is perfect. And the band makes me pretty much speechless. The songs are even more beautiful live, as it seems. Very highly recommended!
