New relationship energy. Used in many communities, including among polyamorous people. This is that fluttery feeling you get when you meet someone new that you are interested in.

No Reason Erection

Picture this, you're at school on a rainy Wednesday morning. You're sitting comfortably in your seat when you start to feel a strange sensation in your sweat pants. You then think to yourself,"Oh shit. I have a boner." You ponder,"How can I get this to go away?" Just then, the teacher calls you to the front of the room. You come to the realization that your erection isn't going to deflate any time soon. Curse those NREs!

Formed in early 2003 by previous Inari members, TAKU (bass) and TJF (guitar, vocals). Features Machikara members, Machiko (guitar, lead vocals), Eri (bass guitar, vocals), and Hanako (drums).

Played mainly 'remixed' versions of old Inari and Machikara songs, but possessed four of their own Japanese punk rock songs written by Machiko and TJF titled, "six past f***ing midnight", "We will never forget", "Sakura" and "Falling".

Their sound is original and experimental, often using guitars to emulate the sound of Japanese instruments such as the koto and shamisen. Machiko's voice sounds the most beautiful, unlike her typical Shonen Knife / Ramones sounding voice in Machikara, and she skilfully emulates a traditional bunraku voice to off beat punk rock. Machiko sings most vocals in NRE, but is accompanied by TJF in songs, "We will never forget" and "Falling".

Quite surprisingly, the music only contains a hint of

New Relationship Energy, those Disney chemicals which make falling in love feel so euphoric and fabulous and generally raise libido to the high heavens

Good band consisting of guys and girls! My Japanese isn't too good so I'm not sure about their Jrock songs but their English songs are really good. It's strange that they say they hate hip hop because some of their songs sound like punk rock and hip hop combined but that's just my opinion. The guy and girl vocal combo they have sounds really cool and I've never heard that before.

Anyone know where to get their other songs???

A totally random anti-imperialist punk band that think they're living in WWII era. Either that or they're a pop punk band that woke up one day and decided to be political. Still, their lyrics are amazingly profound and there are some original(!) and worthwhile songs despite the terrible female vocalist. Top of the mp3.com J*POP* charts for a while.
