Beat of the Week: Iosys

Hey everybody!

It's time for Beat Of The Week! And since this is my first time doing it, I hope you all like it :)
With the exception of heavy metal and trot, I listen to every genre of music there is on Earth. However, I will mainly introduce music with strong beats as it is "BEAT" OF THE WEEK. So do look out for a mixture songs of random languages. (I also listen to listen to most languages except for Malay and Tamil. No offence, but the songs are not really my style :P)
If you guys don't know, I am a major Kpop fan... *hint hint* ;)
Ok let's go!

This is one of my favorite Japanese groups :D

IOSYS (イオシス)


Well, I'm not really sure what the symbol means, but their music is awesome. :D

Iosys is a musical ensemble and doujin circle based in Sapporo. There is practically almost no information about the members in this group. The only thing know about the members is that most of them live in Hokkaido and Kanto areas of Japan. 

They are not signed under any company or labels, but they generally release their music through doujin channels such as Comiket convention and their webpage, which is in Japanese so.... Google Translate it, yah?

Anyways, this group is famous for its parodies for character or themes in games such as Touhou Project and Atlus's Etrian Odyssey. Their music videos are generally flash videos of characters in the above mentioned games.

They also produced the 2nd ending credits for Penguin Musume Heart and composed the opening and ending credits music for Yumekui Merry.

They generally do quite a range of music, but they do focus very much on electronic music and rock. The main singers of the group are females, and their voices are rather high-pitched, but it is not to the extend of annoying. :)

On a side note, their Engrish is rather.... awesome. If you really want to know what they are singing, I strongly suggest everyone to look up the lyrics. Otherwise, you probably have no idea what they are singing about.

They have a lot of discographies, but I will just choose my favorite ones :D

Artifical Children
I really like the flow of the music. They use so many instruments. SO NICE :) And the vocals are also very very soothing. The lyrics are also very meaningful, but a bit deep for me to understand HAHA. No English in this song. The video is a bit repetitive because the original video is shorter than the song and the uploader tried to make it as long as the song. 


Border of Death
A rock kind of music. The lyrics are also nice but deep. The best part about the song? The ENGRISH :D JKJK It's a very very nice song. And there's lyrics :)



LAST ONE! 

Cirno's perfect math class
The cutest song EVER!!! Very very catchy song! Another electric kinda song, and the lyrics are hilarious. HAHA. This song is pretty short for Iosys. :) BAKA BAKA. LOL.




Ok that's it people!
Till next time!
*cough*KPOP*cough*
