Thanks for sharing! LOL
Disturbing verison....more aptly <i>kimochi warui</i> version IMO, haha.
Sounds like it could be done by one of those messed-up pseudo-visual-kei joke bands....
>So? That goes for everything. Denpa, metal, bubblegum, punk,[cut]
Not entirely. Both metal and punk demand some kind of authenticity (or at least a posture of authenticity), whereas denpa and bubblegum are usually the products of clever calculation by some studio wizards. That's the "evil" I was talking about. Not that it's inherely bad, though, or I wouldn't be listening to denpa songs in the first place. That said, however, only a few out of my nearly 100 denpa song collection are worth a second listen....
>Furthermore, this kind of metal, to me at least, is rather... overwhelming to the senses. Like rape. Or at least the popular depiction of rape. I dunno, I've never been raped.
This kind of metal <i>is</i> meant to overwhelm the senses. But the "popular depiction of rape"? I assume that impression comes from some songs written by Chris Barnes (ex-Cannibal Corpse), who is responsible for introducing that lyrical subject matter to death metal. But it's hardly the dominant theme in death metal, and pretty much non-existent in black metal, doom metal, etc.
Well....if you dislike extreme metal and what I'm doing, so be it. They're not for everyone anyway....
I don't want to argue about the exact definition for denpa songs, which even the Japanese themselves have trouble coming up with one, but to further back up my stance that "Neko Mimi Mode" is a legitimate denpa song (damn why do I have to do this), here's another reference for you:

"Neko Mimi Mode" was voted as the No.1 denpa song of 2004. 'Nuff said.
