This was nice. I struggle with Gacharic Spin. The first time I heard them was Mindset, which I liked, especially Angie's vocals, but I poked around a bit more and wasn't finding a second song I could really get into. I feel like sometimes they can get too high concept, or there are maybe too many ideas, and I can't follow a throughline. I'll have to check out more. By contrast, I love Band-Maid, and I think part of their secret sauce is just ... discretion? Their writing can go nuts, but I think Saiki works as like an editor for the writing. They're basically a prog band, but they use their vocals, largely, to keep it catchy and grounded. I think in the process, they discard a lot of songs, and just that exercise of editorial discretion makes it so that I basically like 100% of their output.
There is only one Gacharic Spin. There are as you have observed particular Japanese melodic progressions that don't occur in Western rock music. There a number of RUclips shorts of Tomo-zo playing and it's an eyeopener about how skilled she is.
Maximum the Hormone and their management are super aggressive with their copyright protection, usually blocks are automated processes by labels, but the impression I've been given is they're more hands on with their approach, it's very much just luck of the draw whether a video gets noticed. I've known of a couple of non-monetised reaction channels that've been flat-out shutdown in the past when attempting to react to the band's music (with the strictest manual version of enforcement, as opposed to the norm of getting it blocked and/or a single copyright strike).
I think so. RIAJ clearly not a fan of my efforts. The video did well and then it was gone and I had a strike. I even wrote the RIAJ in English and Japanese. I’m sure that response is coming any day now 🙄

The best rock band in the world right now, imo. They really work as a unit...it's GachaSpin for life!

Koga's always got the best bass lines
Love this song, reminds me of some tracks off Kakuhen/G-Litter

Greetings from the future. All of what you said is true.
@@YoMota Well that sucks, I'd kinda hoped they'd mellowed a little over time. Was this the bass cover you discussed on Twitter?

Yes, GS day = best day 🤗🤗
