D.I.D until the Day I Die As you all know the Judgement Day is approaching, the day when D.I.D. will truly return. We've awaited it for quite some time now, this single is only but the messenger warning us of the impending storm of godly sound that is Akane and his disciples. W.O.D. II ____________ An interesting sequel to the ever so amazing and timeless D.I.D. original W.O.D., this second version retains all the same lyrics, but a different tune. I love its many tempo changes and the metalcore. Akane's growls are on point as usual aswell as his clean vocals, Tekede's drumming continues to slay especially the bass drum, as for Tohma he's gotten even better even though I never knew he could get more godly. As his skills were far amazing before, aswell as Aizawa. His Bass playing is solid and gritty i just love it! The guitar solo is fucking hectic, I can tell it took alot of work. (It even tops atheism's amazing solo.) I cant wait to see the music video for this track. ☆☆☆☆☆ out of ☆☆☆☆☆ FATAL ERROR RACE ______________________ The moment I've long awaited for.....has finally arrived at last it's here, the beauty that is difficult to bring to words. It is honestly love to the ears, for a song to be this well composed it's almost unreal. Akane's sweet voice returns, his alluring tone and demonic growls are present aswell as the flawless guitar work, the drumming is back with vengeance along with the bass. Oh god the chorus send's chills up my spine, those violins in the background just fill the tone ever so perfectly, this song is so symphonic, so tear inducing. D.I.D. is coming back, as they've come a long way and there is no turning back for them, only the progression forward. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆out of ☆☆☆☆☆

didn't do my eyebrows for a week, and #bae told me I look like a tired spanish soccer mom, feels weird :\ #rooting_4_jock_team_of_ur_choice this summer, tho. </3

When I heard the sad news that long-time drummer Makoto was out of cali≠gari, the future did not seem very bright for the band. At least, that's what I thought. cali≠gari have been kind of slacking off in terms of releases these past few years anyway – sporadic activity, lots of live-only and fanclub-only cash grabs, you name it. I, however, cannot hate them no matter what they do, as long as they deliver quality tunes I can get into. This album continues to prove that statement right, while at the same time asserting that they remain a force to be reckoned with, even as a three-piece. 12 is another typical cali≠gari full-length (as much as you can call such a quirky band 'typical'), packed with catchy melodies and occasional crazy outbursts. The band manages to find a decent balance between those two extremes. Gone are the days of totally mental freak-outs, like "Hakkyou Channel" for example, but they can still pack a punch when needed. Case in point, take the frantic trance-like pummeling punk of an opener "Warui yatsura", or the follow-up track "Noukaku Terror." These filthy little beasts contrast well with the album's brighter and airier compositions such as the gorgeous revamped version of "Tonight Toniyayaya" (proving that the creative juices are still flowing) or the sweet closing track "Sayonara dake ga jinsei sa", reminiscent of another old tune of farewell, "Good Bye." The best bits of 12, however, are the instances where the band isn't afraid to openly show their love for '80s new wave and pop nostalgia. Songs like "Sex to uso", "Gimlet ni wa hayasugiru" and the like are characterized by big fat slappin' bass goodness, twinkly synths, sharp cleaned-up guitar tones and… is that saxophone I'm hearing?? Clearly, they spared no creative expense when arranging these fine pieces of 'updated throwback' music. There’s even a nod towards a sort of proto-VK atmosphere (very much like what they did around 1998-1999) in tracks like the swift "Sassou taru mirai-ken," the post-punk tinged sax-o-rama of "Crazy I Love You", and the aforementioned "Sayonara…". Altogether, these colorful elements make this full-length both enjoyable for hardened, long-time cali≠gari fanatics and those new to the band's curious antics. Overall, 12 paints a picture of a band of 'professional eccentrics' who still know how to rock out as well as craft some interesting songs. The days of youth are gone, of course, so one mustn't expect an onslaught of all-out craziness. They more than make up for that with a big bunch of catchy moments that blends their past styles and influences into a powerful mixture that sounds anything but dated. In short, this is probably the best cali≠gari has done since their comeback. I cannot wait to see & hear what the future holds! Support the band! 12 @ iTunes (Jp) 12 @ CDJapan 12 @ Yesasia

Also, there is a fairly easy was to trim $139.89 off of that list XD

Damn I'd love to hear the studio version of KIDS WAR

What a way to come back! I can't really remember the original version of W.O.D. but this installment is just truly badass with its all-out heaviness. Some great tempo changes here and there, and impressive string-work (especially those little bass noodlings). Slayed me hard. It's nice to finally listen to Fatal Error Race as well, albeit it's in demo form. Even so, it still packs a punch, in typical heavy-but-melodic D.I.D. fashion. Can't wait to hear the finished track with a proper bangin' production. A solid lil' goodie from these guys, hope they'll be able to be more active from now on. |

But we photo-documented the nice cakes we've been eating! Apparently Versailles-leftover bands have a tendency to bring MH-ers together.

DADAROMA Live video - MONEY - モルヒネ＃２ - KIDS WAR

new 40 minute game play demo from E3 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heohAR-Ov4s man every single time I see this game I get more and more excited for it, I'm so glad this is about to come out in less than 2 and a half months.

I got the job. But I got a mail yesterday and they've put me up working with the new first graders. Why the fuck do they want me to work with the kindergarten kids who just started on school is beyond me. They're too small. Way too small. Give me someone older to work with. Christ.

btw that beautiful painting is by Tobias Kwan, check out his other artworks, he's very good http://tobiee.deviantart.com/art/Motherland-Chronicles-33-Nesthead-II-416738271

I am not a big fan of what they have been doing lately. Their songs are a little shallow to me, and a lot of their music is a complete copy of BugLug. This song is HicchakaxMecchaka with little changes and a different tempo, plus other BugLug styles. They should be themselves more, I don`t see the point in being similar to a band that is currently far more skilled in musicianship, song-writing and on a much better label then them, if they don`t offer something different. I think they could be a good band if they did their own thing more and grow as that. No offense intended to fans, just my thoughts. Here is BugLug for comparison:

it is announced at Nihilizm one-man live "Malice of A -Nero & Cbet-" at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2015/06/20 that their new full album "arguere-アルグエレ-" will be released at 2015/10/28 (3,564yen), which will include CD (12 songs)+DVD and will be in sleeve case btw they will hold their presents live tour "-The Atheist Denied All-" at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2015/11/09, at OSAKA RUIDO at 2015/11/11 and at NAGOYA HOLIDAY NEXT at 2015/11/12 and their 2nd anniversary one-man live "Nøn izm Thinker or Deity" at Takadanobaba AREA at 2015/11/25

new band "GIVALDE" will hold their first live at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2015/05/14 "GIVALDE" members: Vo.RIKU (Black Gene For the Next Scene roadie) Gt.KYOYA(夾夜) (ex-Guilty) Gt.KYOSUKE(享介) (ex-VOW roadie) Ba.HIFUMI(一二三) http://givalde.main.jp/

at least we still have MERRY to listen to these days if we want more 9mm : ^ )

you got the joke √ welcome 2 my life at the moment, bae <3 idk if this matters, but I'm in North America, and hangout with wasp/british expat/asian art nerd circles, you should feel my pain too btw.

I don't think you meant to do this but this is so nightmare inducing.

I feel like it's going to be bigger than sukekyio, and Kaoru, Kyo and Shinya will also have plenty of time to focus on new Dir en grey material drafting. I wonder how much influence Toshiya actually has in the band atm, bassists are typically not considered as smth vocally powerful. I hope he collaborates with Die for this "DECAYS" thing.

amused @ people who bitch and moan over live-distributed D.I.D. demo with unfinalized sound production that they got from vk.com file vault, just saying. europe got flabbergasted by yohio and liiiiiiiiike people are dying in China while making your LG phones, I'm just saying!!!! we never got a DISREIGN moscow one man stadium gig either, btw. I'm sad.

I was impressed. They picked the two ideal songs from DADAISM for me. I would also kill to hear KIDS WAR

This song remind me a lot of Crazy Shampoo <3 I do love to hear this one and モルヒネ＃３ on some album/single too.

Oh, ok I understand. Thank's ^^

The line up was always meant to change with different releases. Except Ruka.

JACK SPOOKY & sharmin unit "被虐のアリア" at 2015/06/13:

I absolutely LOVE reading your reviews! Never tried a cali≠gari album in my life, but I might have to change that. Listening to the sample, and while the vocals might take a bit to get used to, musically it reminds me of some the crazier underground/DIY stuff coming out of Japan's indie world. So that's a good thing. If I get around to checking this out, just so I know in advance, are there any other albums I should try from this band?

Ew. [5]

Ew.

Welcome back!

I still call him Zess anyways lol

Some of these shoegaze records are so dreamy, I think if all humans on the planet would listen to it at the same time then mankind would beat gravity and we would all float away into the endless gulfs of space and die.

#heavily_breathing I'm literally feeling the art-direction for this album tbh, it's the best from everything I like rn which is illuminati symbolism, Brom, and american golden age illustration mashed together with amazing weave delivery

NEW LOOK!! AND I MUST SAY ONE OF THE BEST LOOKS URUHA AND REITA LOOK STUNNING!! BTW THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED AT 2015/08/26 !! AND ARTWORK FOR THE ALBUM! : CREDITS: Gazette Fans

Thanks for the help! I will try that They have some old and rare An Cafe CDs and I don't find it very expensive tbh but I agree some of their stuff is a bit overprized.

I like it. I'm pretty sure that's him in the bottle.... naked

Another vote for D'espairsRay here. They still are my favorite band, and I really really love them so much. They mean a lot for me and suddenly they disband just in my birthday. Worst day ever. And deadman... at least aie is still active, but Mako... I NEED him active once again for God's sake.

can we talk about the ridiculous price of 2160 yen for 3songs ? XD
