Notes:
I have had this rolling around in my head and stuck in the "To Do" list for a bit. Its music and entertainment, and I figure soldiers should be able to listen to during their time off, and civilians can groove to. After this pack gets approved, I'll begin working on the next 'Quad Pack', with new and exciting bands:

• Aoi Tanaka - Think of prolific composer Yoko Kanno and strange Icelandic thing Björk, struck by the wanderlust to find new styles of music and collaborate with them. Yamataian composer with a big band by her side, who works on animes, games, TV shows, and for herself.
  
• Dyna - A mixed-race equivalent of The Blue Man Group. Improvised instruments, enigmatic style often very dynamic and sometimes amusing performances. Bring a raincoat, or one will be provided for you.
  
• High Velocity Parasitic Love - Sludge/Stoner/Southern Metal from the Mishhuvurthyar. Hey, did you think those tentacles were only good for the cats? They can shred out a mean, polyphonic riff. Banned in Tokyo!
  
• Take the Lead - With 'lead' pronounced as the metal used in bullets, rather than 'to lead', this Nepleslian Marine Hip-Hop outfit consists of Marines who coped with the horrors of their wars by rapping it out. (Think Death Grips)

All items for submission have been made reference to in Roleplay in passing and directly by characters in either of the ISC Phoenix volumes, the LSDF Akahar, or the LSDF Val'ta.

Also I may be attempting to inflict my musical tastes on people. Hopefully other plots can find themselves listening to this, and other music too.

Edit: I really shouldn't have waited on submitting these.

I'll take this one. Excited to read it!

PS: I started writing the bones of Aoi Tanaka's article. It is not even close to ready for submission (that'll happen later), but hopefully you get the core ideas.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Not a worry. I'll focus on the article as submitted.

 

[Doshii Jun]

I am highly impressed.

These are great culture articles. They imply much about Nepleslia and cultures beyond, but they do their best job detailing the music, the bandmembers and the styles of music. The "in the style of" RL references to actual musical acts helps. And how CharLuca ties in as well!

All the dates, history and backstory meet up with the submission guidelines.
