CrowxClass

Because yesterday I couldn't write two updates, today I wish to write at least two updates, even though I cannot come up with nothing cultural related for this post, I decide to write another music review but this time instead of kpop I will focus in another genre such a music from japan and what can be called "Neo Japanesque" this movement can be understood as the fusion of what it is modern rock music with the traditional Japanese music,so we find bands that have your typical rock instrument plus their traditional instruments. You may think this mix doesn't work well here I am to make you change your mind (or try)

Today I will be writing about CrowxClass, they could be cataloged in the popular genre of Visual Kei but I will prefer to catalog them under Neo Japanesque (because of my good memories of that genre).
What is the cool thing about this group? All the members are professional Japanese instrument musicians!
They are quite new and so far they have released two music videos, if you try you can find some performances of the band or even of  some members with their respective traditional instrument.
The band has a YouTube channel, Facebook page and Twitter and each member has a personal twitter account.

Now I will leave you the videos for you to hear and watch.

Now time for my personal opinion (:p), well I do like them indeed, I think they are a very promising band in the music industry of Japan and even in general because it is quite innovative. The first song I thought it lacked some power, not from the instruments but from his vocalist. Please don't misunderstand me, I like his voice and I think he has a really good voice but the instruments go over his voice. The second song you can already notice the music quality progress of the band, his voice becomes more strong but still needs a bit more of practice.

There is just one thing I want to express,  I think what they need is more beauty. I don't know really how to express this, but I feel like there is something missing in the music and I am feeling is beauty or feelings.
I know my thought comes from comparison (another band's music) and I know is not good to compare one band with another because they are different. And also my comment it is just from the impression of two music videos and I haven't see them live (but will love to!!)
But as I mentioned early they are quite new and still have a lot to go through and while time passes by this band will become better and better, there is no doubt!
 

In conclusion this band offers good quality of music, a different proposal to your ears, so give it a try!

If you are interested I am leaving the links of the band on the social media :)
