I genuinely don't think I can explain how much I love TMGE. There's something about their music that feels so different from anything else I've ever listened to. Maybe the first Japanese punk band I've ever listened to. When I first listened to them it felt like heaven. Last year I was going to a tough time and their music helped me to not give up. Same with Yusuke Chiba's other bands. everything in this band just fits together so perfectly. Especially Chiba's voice. Their songs have that energy that I can never get tired of. Every time I listen to a popular song of them, instead of saying "Awh, I'm tired of this song, it's overplayed", I continue listening, because it sounds amazing every time I listen to them. I wish I could've been around when they were active because I would've loved to see them live so badly. tmge is one of the bands that I know I'll never stop loving, no matter how much time passes. I'm just so grateful that I found their music.
