Someone, maybe d0fph0t0 back in the early days, gave a pretty strong recommendation here IIRC. Of course, it only took several months to get back to that thought, and well-timed at that, as here’s an edited cut of a live performance last month:
There’s a nice amount of punk happening to that idol, tossing in a little bit of skacore and like a wee taste of hardcore to keep it interesting.
If you know about them, what can you share?
At first I thought you meant 963… But, no, never heard of this 969 lot, but that song sounds great! I wonder how exactly you are meant to pronounce their name… cuz for 963 I had to wait to hear them say it…
Hmm, given their youtube is called 969Clock, I think you might actually pronounce it “clock”.
Explain! This is interesting.
The numbers thing? So you can pronounce 9 as ku, and 6 as roku, so 969 is ku-ro-ku. Their twitter writes it as クロック but then I still never quite understand when they are trying to say English words etc how they actually pronounce that. So you can do the whole r/l think to get Clock… but originally I thought they might have been trying to make a pun of the “rock” word or something…
This makes sense. Reminds me of ONE OK ROCK’s being correctly pronounced “One O’clock” which I found hilariously well-played.
There are way too many fun things you can do with multiple readings of things (^^)
Does 963 have a fun pronunciation? And why does Japanese now have a fifth way to write things?
Ever since writing that I’ve been trying to remember… 963’s twitter says くるみ which would be kurumi, but i’m sure their t-shirts said Kurome (in English), but I kind of wondered if they were trying to say “chrome” but i don’t think they are…
Btw, this stuff is also why Gouhou Lolita Syndrome is shortened to 564.
Amazing. I feel like a light bulb is going off hard. So 564 ~= rorishi?
Nope.
564
GoRoShi
Gouhou Lolita Syndrome
ah and ha
I just made a math: Is 963 the same as Culumi that I’ve seen mentioned here and there and I have a note about?
