This Thing Ate My Soul Last Night
Deceived Mad Pain
According to the creators, this is a: "Japanese rock riddle site where fans can test not only their problem solving skills, but their knowledge of many different bands."
Out of curiosity to see how much I know about J-Rockand maybe I'm a masochist, I ended up spending way too much time last night trying to solve the current 25 levels of puzzles with 3 other readers of Go's blog at jrocknyc. We totally flooded his shoutbox discussing the clues! Sorry, Go! I swear Elec was laughing at us. :D
The four of us finally conquered the riddles! In shuu's words: "That was highly enjoyable/made me want to die."
The problem-solving aspect of of the riddles was less difficult. The true challenges, for me at least, laid in how knowledgeable you are about the band featured at the particular levels. I was able to breeze through certain levels because I'm a big fan of that band, but for bands I don't pay as much attention to, my god, what torture!
I really like how the riddles mostly did a good job of taking away the perhaps unfair advantage of people who know Japanese. Knowing Japanese can both help and hinder your progress. So in the end, we're all even. At the risk of spoiling the riddles, I won't go anymore into this.
If any of you guys want to take a crack at this and need help, feel free to ask me. By now, the answers have been carved into my memory.
Oh, and let me show this badge off because I think the hours of suffering I had at the hands of this riddle site entitles me to it! This site is so aptly named. Was I deceived? Yes. Did I get mad? Yes. Was I in pain? YES!

Here's a hint: The band's name is quite short and, written properly, has 2 capital letters. Check the JaME artist database for the specific person that "joined the band last".
Let me know if you need more hints. It took me forever on this one, too.Thank YOU for making the site. Can't wait for more levels. ^_^
Thanks. ^^
I figured it out! I now have all of the ones up to #14. ^_^ But I'm completely stumped on 15. ;_;
No. ;_;
(Okay, not really, but for my purposes here, yes... curse it!)
That band isn't what you need. Look at the page title/header in your browser window and combine it with the text you see on the page itself.
thank you :)
Yep, still don't get it. (I'm going to feel really stupid when I figure out this answer, huh?)
Btw, I've been reading your blog for a while now and I like it very much. Informative but personal = <3
