На ютубе наткнулся на исполнение трека "Eve ~Last night for you~". Я поражен артистичностью вокалиста и его гибкостью вокала, так что пошел слушать другие пластинки и их песни.

It is sometimes difficult but important to realise how old Laputa is. It is so rare to find someone who actually likes them. The vocalist has an Instagram account and I am the only one commenting in English. Most of their fans haven't followed them through their solo projects, especially the English speaking ones. And Kouichi has almost disappeared from the music scene, though his website is still up. The number of their fans has decreased. It is so sad to see people calling the vocalist fat.

I think it's because 1) they never had a big reunion after they broke up 2) their members don't currently collaborate with a lot of other musicians in the scene, especially more popular ones 3) their fans are older now and probably don't spend a ton of time on the internet, although it's nice to read the Japanese commenters on their videos on youtube being all nostalgic and saying how they've been listening to Laputa since high school and they're like 40 now etc.

You would usually pronounce them the same way you would say the island "Laputa" from Gulliver's Travels, which is what their name is probably based off. So most likely La-pyu-ta. "rapyuta" is more like a Japanese person would say it since they don't really use a normal L-sound.

"That lil' asthmatic squeel he lets out" - that is the best description of Aki's voice I've ever come across XD while I thought his voice was hella weird the first time I heard it, it has definitely grown on me

All their styles are great. Cakera and heaven are my favorites maybe. I totally appreciate their later electronic feel.

I wouldn't say it was all downhill from Cakera or Heaven for that matter. Now I'm not as crazy about New Temptation or Material Pleassures as I am their previous works but Glitter and Sparks Monkey totally rock! <Favorite album is Jakou btw... should be getting the bandscore any day now.
