Music Spotlight: ゲスの極み乙女 (Gesu no Kiwami Otome)

 This band is a fairly new discovery for me, but I find that the talent, and the sound the four band-mates create together, have absorbed me into their music quite completely, and I can't find myself to blame them for it. Obviously, the energy the band creates, is important to me, which is why bands like DollsBoxx are so enjoyable, because just by the smiles on their faces, you know they enjoy what they do. There is a similar reason to why I like this band as well, ゲスの極み乙女/Gesu no Kiwami Otome (roughly translated to something like "extremely guessing maiden" though the best translations are "engrish" at best, though on their official page it is translated as "Guess height maiden") carries themselves through their energy, and sheer level of talent that awes me every time I hear a song, even on repeat.

     This band is comprised of four members, who on their own bring a hefty amount of musical talent, which works well with each other, where in my opinion, this band would not be the same, without these specific people. Firstly is the lead singer, and guitarist (though he also plays keyboard) Kawatani Enon「川谷絵音」 (he is also the lead vocalist for the band Indigo la end) his real name being Kawatani Kenta. The bassist is called 休日課長・Kyūjitsu kachō「Holiday Manager」with his real name being Wada Masao 「和田正雄」during his middle school years, he was inspired by the band "The Red Hot Chili Peppers." The Keyboardist is known as Chan Mari 「ちゃんMARI」her real name being Fukushige Mari 「福重まり」, she also plays the same instrument for the band Crimson. The drummer is known as Hona Ikoka 「ほないこか」with her real name being Satō Honami 「佐藤保奈美」, while also a member of the band Duo Microcosm.

     If you are interested in the band, I will of course have all the pertinent websites for you at the bottom, as for song suggestions, I can easily say that any song is a good song to listen to in order to get an idea of their sound. However, if I had to pick two songs I would pick Romansu ga Arimasu ・ロマンスがありあまる「roughly "Spare the Romance" /"Spare me the Romance"」or you could just as easily listen to and enjoy the song Watashi igai watashi janai no・ 私以外私じゃないの, both of which are good songs to start with. I hope you listen to this band, and enjoy, and if there are any groups/artists who share a similar sound, be sure to put them in the comments below.
