「病みかわいい」をヴィジュアルコンセプトに、2015年7月に結成された。
グループとしての方向性を「人間（おんなやおとこや色々と）なら誰しも心の奥底にある感情（病み部分）を、毒＋可愛らしくアナーキーに表現する事を信条とするつもり。」 と定義しており、歌詞やミュージックビデオなどにも日常的なフラストレーションやニヒリズム、アナキズムを連想させる表現がしばしば用いられる。
赤飯（せきはん）は、もち米にアズキやササゲを混ぜて蒸したおこわである。
ハレの日の食事として用いられる他、栄養価が高い事から缶詰やフリーズドライ化された物も普及しており、非常食などとして用いられている。また、「赤飯おにぎり」「赤飯弁当」のように、一般食としてコンビニエンスストアやスーパーマーケット、駅売店で売られている事も多い
呼称としては「せきはん」が一般的であるが、女房言葉として語頭に「お」をつけた「おせきはん」。
明治頃までは、小豆などを混ぜた赤飯と、もち米を蒸したおこわは区別されていた。しかし、後に一部の地域で呼称が曖昧となり、現在も赤飯をおこわとよぶ地域が残っている。また、小豆などを入れた一般的な赤飯のみでなく、地域による差異もある。混合する具材の変化や調理法も蒸すのではなく炊くなど、日本国内の地域により多様な特色もみられ、「あかまんま」「あかごわ」などの呼び方もある。

エジコ（嬰児籠）はかつての農村で、乳幼児を収納するために用いられた容器である。藁を編んで筒状にしたものだが、木や竹で作られる場合もある。地域によりイジコ・エンズコ（エンヅコ）・エヅメ・エジメ・イズミ（イヅミ、飯詰）・イヅミキ・コシキ・イブミ・ツブラ・ツグラ・チグラ・フゴ（畚）・ヨサフゴともよばれる。
農作業などで家を長時間離れなければならない時、屋内または作業場近くに乳幼児を安全に据え置くための道具として使われていた。 乳幼児がお漏らしをしても後始末が楽なよう、エジコの底には灰・藁・籾殻・海藻・木炭などを敷き詰め、その上におしめや軟らかくした藁・イグサで出来たシッツキなどを敷いて乳幼児を収める。さらに、エジコから抜け出さないよう布団や布切れなどで包み固定していた。そのためエジコでの育児は幼児の下半身の発育が妨げられたり、不潔な状態で長時間放置されるなどの問題がある。
米飯の保温用（ごはんエジコ）、鉈・鋸入れ、山菜採りにも使用した。
現在ではどの地方でもエジコを使用する習慣はなくなっており、従来の藁でエジコを作る技術が失われたため新たに入手することはほとんど出来ない。一方で新潟県の山間部ではエジコ作りの技術を用いて猫専用のエジコ「猫ちぐら」が生産され、愛猫家の人気を博している。

ザ・ゴー!チーム(英: The Go! Team ) は、イギリスのヒップホップ/ロックバンド 。
While it is true that there are definitely female fronted metal groups out there many of them play to the same tune. We have some killer guitar work with a drummer that’s about to pound their way through the third drum head of the day. It sounds great. Unfortunately, what we tend to get from the vocal department isn’t usually as heavy. Although clean vocals make for a pleasing contrast and overall more approachable sound, there could always be more. RagDöllz fills in this gap and sets themselves apart in this respect. Vocalist Rumi does both harsh and clean vocals. Her transitions are effortless and add in a nice mix up in their songs.
Although they have been around for a while, RagDöllz is definitely worth giving a quick listen to. The band also seems to have their stage presence together with excellent command over the crowd and great ability in generating some energy.

ANIMA TEMPO is a progressive metal band based out of Mexico City. Founded in 2009 by three former members of a progressive metal cover band called CAUSTICA X, they began writing original material and additional members joined to complete the lineup. After demo releases in 2010 and 2011, the band began working on their first professional full-length while also touring across the ocean in Europe. In January 2016, the album Caged in Memories was released. The style of music combines familiar templates found in progressive metal, except their are also forays into melodic death metal at times, combining clean and harsh vocals alongside some sudden tempo surges and djent-influenced time signatures.
The band roster currently consists of Gian GRANADOS on vocals and guitar, Dante GRANADOS on lead guitar and synthesizers, Pedro VERA on bass, and Antonio GUERRERO on drums.
Horna formed in late 1993 under the name Shadowed, formed by vocalist and guitarist Shatraug and guitarist Moredhel. The name was changed to Horna when drummer Gorthaur joined the band in 1994. Horna did not start recording until early 1995. The first demo, Varjoissa, was released in September that year and sold out. Since 2002 Horna also became a dominant force with live desecrations all over the world, having raided the continents with European and North-American tours. Despite many line-up changes Horna has always remained strong under the guidance of the only remaining original member Shatraug. Through-out the years the lyrics of Horna ventured from harsh anti-christian hatred and paganism to devoted exaltations of the occult, the mysteries of the dark side of mankind and Satanism  from youthful outbursts of anger to ever more maturing inneren lightenment.
Horna cited the loss of "dedication" as the reason behind his departure, and revealed that Horna's performance at 2003's Tuska Open Air Metal Festival would be their last with Otava handling guitar duties. In 2008 Horna embarked on an American tour. They played their first American show on Halloween 2008 at "The Black Castle" courtesy of underground promoter Chris "Hate War" Wood.
The name "Horna" is Finnish for "abyss" or "hell". It was chosen because, to Shatraug, it sounded harsh and powerful.
Ungodly is regarded as "High Speed Blackend Deathrash" in Japan. It composed of Gt & Vo - Kirino, Ba - Gai, and Dr - Shimaoka.
They started on November 2013.
Black metal, death / slash wildly was the foundation of their music. Their metal style is also on lyrics and blast beat subject of which has the attitude of grind core to the melodic riff.
Their music is going to run through by multiplying the drum until the fierce fast style.
Cataplexy is a sudden and transient episode of muscle weakness accompanied by full conscious awareness, typically triggered by emotions such as laughing, crying, or terror. Cataplexy affects approximately 70% of people who have narcolepsy, and is caused by an autoimmune destruction of neurons that produce the neuropeptide hypocretin (also called orexin), which regulates arousal and wakefulness. Cataplexy without narcolepsy is rare and the cause is unknown.
The term cataplexy originates from the Greek κατά (kata, meaning "down"), and πλῆξις (plēxis, meaning "stroke").
Cataplexy manifests itself as muscular weakness which may range from a barely perceptible slackening of the facial muscles to complete muscle paralysis with postural collapse. Attacks are brief, most lasting from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, and typically involve dropping of the jaw, neck weakness, and/or buckling of the knees. Even in a full-blown collapse, people are usually able to avoid injury because they learn to notice the feeling of the cataplectic attack approaching and the fall is usually slow and progressive. Speech may be slurred and vision may be impaired (double vision, inability to focus), but hearing and awareness remain normal.
Cataplexy attacks are self-limiting and resolve without the need for medical intervention. If the person is reclining comfortably, he or she may transition into sleepiness, hypnagogic hallucinations, or a sleep-onset REM period. While cataplexy worsens with fatigue, it is different from narcoleptic sleep attacks and is usually, but not always, triggered by strong emotional reactions such as laughter, anger, surprise, awe, and embarrassment, or by sudden physical effort, especially if the person is caught off guard. One well known example of this was the reaction of 1968 Olympic long jump medalist Bob Beamon on understanding that he had broken the previous world record by over 0.5 meters (2 feet). Cataplectic attacks may occasionally occur spontaneously, with no identifiable emotional trigger.

7歳でピアノレッスンをはじめたハンコックは、11歳でシカゴ交響楽団と共演。高校時代にジャズを演奏し始めた。オスカー・ピーターソンやビル・エヴァンスに影響を受けたといわれている。グリネル大学 では音楽と電気工学を専攻、音楽と電子工学の両分野で博士号を取得。その後もニューヨークのクラブやスタジオ・シーンで名を馳せる。
1960年にドナルド・バードに見出されると、その彼のクインテットでプロとしてのスタートを切る。さらにドナルド・バードから「ブルーノート・レーベル」のアルフレッド・ライオンを紹介された。その後、2年間のセッションマンとして実績を重ね、21歳になった1962年にデクスター・ゴードンを迎えた作品『テイキン・オフ』でデビュー。この中に収録された「ウォーターメロン・マン」（"Watermelon Man"）は大ヒットとなり、この作品でハンコックは押しも押されもしないブルーノート新主流派の中心アーティストにのし上がった。その後エリック・ドルフィーのもとで活動し、『ブロウ・アップ』などのサウンドトラックを発表した。

Super Junior-D&E The 1st Japan Tour was kicked off in Nagoya on 4 March 2014, going through 8 cities including Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Kobe, Niigata, Budokan and Tokyo for 22 performances. They sang a total of 22 songs, including "I Wanna Dance", "Oppa Oppa", and "BAMBINA".

They debuted in 1988 with the simultaneous release of the single " So release that hand " album " B'z ". The 4th album " RISKY " released in the same year, the 10th single " LADY NAVIGATION " released in 1991 became the first million seller, etc. After winning the first Oricon chart by the 5th single " Komachi Angel of the Sun " released in 1990 Works are hit one after the other, so far 15 single singles and 19 albums are million-seller. Among them, the best album " B'z The Best" Pleasure " released in 1998 exceeded 5 million pieces for the first time in music history in Japan, the same year B'z The Best" Treasure " "The total of two works has recorded about 10 million pieces of sales. For the first time they participated in "Hollywood Rock Walk" as a musician of Asia in 2007 (The Hollywood'S Rock Walk Hall of Fame in).
Since 1989, the live crowning " LIVE-GYM " was held, so far ranging from live houses in Japan to stadiums, In addition to being held at the venue, they also appeared in various music events. Initially their music style combines a hard guitar for driving, based on hard rock, acoustic style, jazz style, funk style, reggae style, blues style, latin style.
B'z (ビーズ , Bīzu) is a Japanese rock duo, consisting of guitarist, composer and producer Takahiro "Tak" Matsumoto (松本 孝弘 , Matsumoto Takahiro) and vocalist and lyricist Koshi Inaba (稲葉 浩志 , Inaba Kōshi) , known for their energetic hard-rock tracks and pop ballads.
B'z is one of the best-selling music artists in the world and the best-selling in their native Japan, having released 46 consecutive No. 1 singles, 25 No. 1 albums and sold more than 100 million records worldwide. In 2003, HMV Japan ranked the band at number 30 on their list of the 100 most important Japanese pop acts. In 2007, B'z became the first band from Asia to have their handprints and signatures put up in the Hollywood's RockWalk.
Tak Matsumoto, guitarist in Tetsuya Komuro's TM Network, had been extremely busy with various recording sessions and live performances. On 21 May 1988, Matsumoto released his first solo album, Thousand Wave. He saw this as the end of his solo career, and began his search for band members. He later met vocalist Koshi Inaba, who would later found B'z with him. At the time, Japan's music scene was loaded with many new bands being created. With all the digital sounds in mainstream music, the only sounds that they felt could not be expressed and replicated were the guitar and the human voice. As a result, they decided to keep it a two-man unit. On 21 September 1988, B'z made their debut with their first album, B'z, and single, "Dakara Sono Te o Hanashite (だからその手を離して )". Their music was very much a product of its times, with synthesizers and samplers sharing equal time with Matsumoto's guitar, producing an experimental sound, very different from their well-known hard rock sound of today.
Instead of immediately performing live after a debut album, as many Japanese bands were doing, B'z chose to have a clear vision of how they wanted to perform and decided to wait until they had enough material to play for at least 90 minutes. The two concentrated on recording, raising the quality of their music. Their efforts resulted in a second album, Off the Lock, released on 21 May 1989. With this second album came their first series of live performances, known better to their fans as "Live-Gym". "Live-Gym No. 00" started in Nagoya, continuing into Osaka, and finished in Tokyo. Tickets were sold out on the day they became available. On 21 October, their first mini album, Bad Communication was released. The title track was a blend of rock and dance music, and is still a classic played during their "Live-Gyms." It charted for 163 weeks on the Oricon Charts. Their first nationwide tour, B'z Live-Gym No. 001, covered 16 shows around Japan.
Stephen Bishop is a world-class guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter with a celebrated career of over four decades of live performance, song craftsmanship, recording, and entertainment. A San Diego native, Stephen Bishop’s introduction to the music industry was after seeing the Beatles perform on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” at 13 years old. Shortly after seeing their performance, his brother Denny bought him an electric guitar. He began creating his own unique chords, melodies and writing original songs. The first song he ever wrote was called, “Surf’s Turf,” an instrumental. Less than a year after picking up the guitar, Stephen formed a band called, “The Weeds.” Soon after, they began performing at local venues, playing a mixture of original songs and popular hits on the radio at the time. As a band, the Weeds placed second at the Claremont Battle of the Bands in 1966.
After the Weeds disbanded, Stephen ventured to Los Angeles in the hopes of landing a songwriting contract. Stephen walked the streets of LA in the early 1970’s with nothing more than a $12 guitar. He began playing songs for different publishers in the area and landed a deal with Edwin H. Morris Publishing in Hollywood. Stephen was paid $50 per week. During his first few years at the publishing company, only one of his songs was recorded. At one point, Stephen considered leaving Los Angeles to work for his father's insurance company in San Diego. However, his friend Leah Kunkel connected him with Art Garfunkel. Art recorded two of Stephen's songs on his album, “Breakaway.”
Shortly thereafter, Stephen was signed to ABC Records. He released his first album, “Careless,” which had two popular hits, “On and On,” and “Save It For a Rainy Day.” It became gold certified, as well as his second album, “Bish.” Stephen Bishop has released 17 albums and has played his songs personally for Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Melissa Manchester, and Katy Perry. His newest album, "Blueprint" was released in 2016. In Eric Clapton's autobiography, he mentions Stephen Bishop as one of his favorite songwriters.
Accomplishments:
Stephen Bishop’s hit song, “It Might Be You,” was the theme to the film “Tootsie.” Stephen has written the themes to several films, including “Animal House,” "The Money Pit," and “White Nights.” His songs have been performed by Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Barbra Streisand, Art Garfunkel, Steve Perry, Stephanie Mills, Kenny Loggins, Johnny Mathis, Phoebe Snow, David Crosby, The Four Tops, Aswad, Beyonce, and Pavarotti. Stephen was nominated for two Grammy's and awarded an Oscar nomination for his song, “Separate Lives.”

Primal Fear's lyrical themes are often a very controversial issue. Although the main lyrical motives in Primal Fear's works are metal, science fiction, and fantasy, it is often thought to be metaphorical. The band's lyrical themes usually project images of science fiction, but also possibly refer to themes of religion, government among other issues.
Primal Fear had their highest success, and most chart entries with their 2012 release, Unbreakable. The album landed on 20 January 2012 with chart entries in Germany (No. 31), Sweden (No. 48), Finland (No. 50), Japan (No. 27), Austria (No. 74), Switzerland (No. 51) and the Netherlands (Top 200), and for the first time in the band's history, they showed up on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart, landing at No. 44.
