No, it was pot.

MiA is beyond average y'all, he sat for 5+ years of his life watching deluhi DVDs trying to replicate leda's sweep runs and thrashy riffs and non-guitar players somehow think he's a god. he's not awful, he's probably well capable but by no means amazing--for christ's sake he reuses the same chord progression on a lot of mejibray choruses. also people, talent =/= fame in vk in case y'all forgot; MiA got those spots in sessions because he had some success with meji and networked well within that time, leading to him being well-liked among bandmen (at least major men). a lot of people in all parts of the scene know of mia, it's actually kind of weird how he's literally everywhere. if talent led to fame...screw should've disbanded after a year, not ending up going major not really a fan but stating my opinion even though none of us can do anything about it, thats what this forum is about its rumours, but considering how much tsuzuku claimed to love mejibray and live for mejibray, its a little sad to see the "mejibray" name being misappropriated to sell and push mia and meto just because they signed their souls away to forum. Im guessing ko and tzk signed up for that, but its just sad to see shady business practices, which i think people on this thread are trying to draw attention to, but we all have different opinions and thats okay. as frayed said, they should proceed activities as solo artists, not using the mejibray name, as is done with most other bands in that case. so mejibray has been tarnished, especially for those of us biased toward tzk/koichi.

In my opinion, I don't find MiA average. I admit to being biased, but I'm usually pretty good at saying when my faves aren't actually that awesome. However, I do want to see him in more situations that challenge what he's capable of as a guitarist and to switch things up a little. He went to a high school specifically for guitar, he composed most of Mejibray's music, and from watching him - not to negate his showmanship, because he's always really fun to watch, but he makes his solos look so easy I feel like he could play them asleep at this point. I'll never be happy about this hiatus, but I'd like to see him do something exciting and different. (Not to say networking isn't a factor at all, boy networks his ass off lol.) Also, re: shady business practices, SO MUCH THIS.

These songs were performed unplugged (but not released officially): ザクロ (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE PREMIUMLIVE) 悲劇は目蓋を下ろした優しき鬱 (performed during TOUR08 THE ROSE TRIMS AGAIN) 蟲-mushi- (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE on 2007.12.25 at 新木場STUDIO COAST) 輪郭 (last part heard on disc II of 「a knot」LIMITED -2012.10.10 SHIBUYA-AX- during the "for 'a knot'" section) 304号室、白死の桜 (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE on 2007.12.25 at 新木場STUDIO COAST) [I think I actually have a rip of this one at home, but I don't think it has leaked anywhere] and probably more :] An unplugged version of 激しさと、この胸の中で絡み付いた灼熱の闇 doesn't exist, from what I can see. But there's a symphonic version, released on disc 3 of DSS@NB. And this is the list of all(?) unplugged songs released as studio recordings: 艶かしき安息、躊躇いに微笑み Conceived Sorrow The Pledge Undecided Agitated Screams of Maggots 我、闇とて･･･ Inconvenient Ideal Red Soil 流転の塔 Unraveling The Final Different Sense 獣慾

(not sorry)

why does everything starwave related always look so cheap and busted, this dude included? this label needs to go tbh

Dude was charged for possession of marijuana, right? Who fuckin cares?? People acting like they are giving free pass on a murderer or something, lmao

this whole thread is the biggest what the fuck experience ever

モルヒネ new single 拝啓、被害者の皆様へ (haikei higaisha no minasamahe) for which the concept is 罪 (tsumi) will be released at 24.01.2018. Price: 1000yen (tax in) Tracklist: 1.拝啓、被害者の皆様へ 2.℃ロ℃ろ実験 (Bonus track) Jacket design made by yumeleep vocalist nemu. also they have published their new look

Us on the outside will never know the severity or the details behind Akinori or Umebo's arrests. Their cases could be completely different (say the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony), so I think it's difficult to compare the two without knowing these details. Let's just be happy that Akinori is back and leave it at that. The link posted above has a great quote from Umebo's new band's vocalist regarding his return to the scene: "[...] look, he ain’t no murderer nor an idol on TV commercials. He’s just a badly behaved death metal musician who might have stepped just a bit across the red line. And for that, he’d been socially punished and brought to justice. So, if you still want him to receive punishment, I say you do that personally."

i don't care much about re-recs bc their live dvds fix the production disasters (basically i get to actually hear toshiya), i.e. the new kickass version of audience killer loop. i also like the live touches they put on their older tracks (toshiya changes up some basslines, clearer guitar sounds/changes in tuning), plus some frills like the segway between undecided --> higeki on the rose trims is to die for. +1 on hearing them rework zakuro, its one of my favs (it made me pick up bass) but the lyrics are kind of cringe now and if they're still down with the prog train it'd make for an awesome new version

Agreed. @Reikatsumi Lately I've noticed you've been quick to confront people when they share an opinion that's different from yours. Putting your two cents in and trying to maintain that it's fact to everyone else isn't gonna help anyone change their mind. Either chill out and let things be or don't bother posting if you have nothing constructive or nice to say.

Same pattern as Royz and Codomo Dragon. It's BP RECORDS.

Huge fan, but I’m absolutely fine if Mejibray reincarnates with just those two

koichi and tzk were the only talented members anyway...also why lynch. destroyed deathgaze #TalentWon

Dang these guys were repping shit kei super hard. Where's all my shit kei love gonna go?

It's kinda blowing my mind this is happening when Umebo from HNIB was axed for similar and is now basically blacklisted from the scene....

He hasn't even done anything yet, but his intro bio already has me exhausted Typically people release content before they start going with the Bionic Woman "Only real music fans are going to like this" rhetoric to justify their choices.

Cooking and trying new cuisine is one of my passions. I find that there is art in the preparation and presentation of food, and wondered if any of you felt the same? I felt it would be interesting to have a place to show Food pictures, recipes, restaurant recommendations, food cravings, and to host discussions about foods from all over the world. I am South Asian and was born in Karachi, Pakistan but I moved to Texas when I was eleven years old and it has shaped my food identity quite heavily. I adore spices and complex flavors but I appreciate warm and comforting foods as well. I cook almost every day, and my short term goal is to bake macrons from scratch and purchase a quality stand mixer. On the menu tonight is pan seared Rib Eye steak with creamed garlic butter potatoes and a cranberry arugala salad drizzled with a cracked black pepper, lemon, and olive oil dressing.

i will say if anything ever fucks this bands up eventually it will absolutely be a division between hazuki and the guys who drink his kool-aid (reo and AK) and yusuke. reo might be the leader but love hzk as i do, he's a high functioning megalomaniac and reo toes his line. also i can see why individuals would be pissed/think this is kind of a shitshow because it undermines the statement their label put out to a hilarious degree... but on a macro level it makes sense, imo. emmny said it best about the (highly successful) PR it gave them even thru a mediocre release in SINNERS, and AK is beloved in the industry including by other bandmen because he is an extremely affable dipshit, an effect amplified by him being the protege of reo/hzk/a well-connected band with a good reputation. being the only one with charisma other than hzk, AK was responsible for a lot of their charm/public face and he's very good at what he does on that level as well. yusuke and AK were inseparable prior to this anyway so it doesn't surprise me at all he caved with or without pressure from hzk & co.

i don't get why people arent literally shocked at this mejidrama like i know their popularity died in foreign fandom but this drama is literally WILD i have never seen management fuck over a band so hard, especially because it was literally tsuzuku's brainchild

MiA (Mejibray) will become the first person on earth to die from forgetting to stop loving himself in the mirror

His first live will be on 2018.03.10 in Tokyo. A first song called "夢雫 -yumeshizuku" will be revealed at a later date in January.

2017 has been an...interesting year, with so much unexpected drama and surprises that's to go down in history for years. So much has happened that I was able to put together two lists of band members caught in embarrassing , illegal, and reprehensible crimes and scandals. Before we put this year to rest for good, let's take another look at visual-kei and some of the less glamorous acts musicians have been up to this year. Also before I begin, I have to shout out a few members who gave serious help in making this list possible. Thanks to @suji, @tetsu_sama69, @cvltic. and @doombox for all their help, as well as for those who broke the news in the first place and those that corrected my facts after publication! Keina (ex-DIVEIN) The first entrant on the naughty list is bassist Keina, who was fired earlier on July 7th from indie visual kei band DIVEIN (ディヴェイン) for "violating the rules of the visual kei industry". Earlier in 2017, KEINA was hospitalized for tonsillitis and took a break from musical activities. While on break, he participated in a session band without the rest of DIVEIN's permission, and this angered the other three members of the band. He also spread confidential information about upcoming lives and photo shoots on the side, so that was enough to get him the boot. 蕚 (Utena) (ex-DEGENE) DEGENE announced on September 26th that they fired their vocalist 蕚 (Utena) for "bad behavior". Digging a little deeper, we find out that Utena committed violent acts against certain members of the band, trashed band equipment, and sent one or more people into mental break downs. The band stated that they could not find any way to improve his behavior, and each member felt a sense of crisis about his behavior. The other four members came to the same conclusion: “I can't work with him anymore”. In contrast, Utena's announcement about his departure did not mention his bad behavior. DEGENE went on a temporary hiatus until they could replace him. Chaos (Glamscure, ex-INSANITY INJECTION) One of the dual vocalists of Insanity Injection, Chaos, got the boot on May 31st for being involved in "deplorable acts on many occasions". What it was has not been clarified, but it was something bad enough to sow feelings of betrayal among the members. One can only speculate what he did, but he hasn't made another appearance since his departure, so perhaps he was blacklisted from the scene? The band has continued without him as three, which as we will see shortly is not usually the norm. Good on INSANITY INJECTION! Update: Turns out that Chaos is still active in the VK band GLAMSCURE! 塁 (rui) (ex-REVLOW) The last bassist of REVLOW, 塁 (rui), was fired from the band on August 5th. Management and band members discovered on July 29th that Rui was involved in many "anti-social acts" that corresponded with recent criminal acts in various Tokyo restaurants. Of note is that the official announcement used the kanji "反社会的", which is often used to refer to the yakuza. REVLOW cancelled the rest of their live dates, including their first one man show scheduled for August 29th, and rescinded the release of their CD, "'REVLISM-EP", scheduled for Aug 23rd. The band has not yet returned from hiatus, and none of the other band members have appeared in official projects. It's sad when an up and coming band gets ruined by the poor choices of one member. Three lumps of coal, one for each member you screwed over. 冬音 (Fuyune) (ex-サムクロ (Samurai Crows)) It's ironic that I found this picture of the purple-haired maverick while in a topic discussing crimes and other scandals. He was fired from his band サムクロ (Samurai Crows) on 2017/05/11 due to misconduct during their live at Ikebukuro BlackHole at 2017/5/5. He got a little too amped up and destroyed equipment, refused to apologize for it, and was caught verbally abusing people via private messaging service SNS. This is not only a rule not to be broken in visual kei, but also a rule not to be broken in society! Fuyune's misconduct caused the band to be dropped from their label, Me teaR music, and the band has been on hiatus after their live at Shinsaibashi paradigm on 2017/7/8. The other three members have moved on to a project called Bokutachi no neverland; Fuyune is still missing in action. I wonder if he has been soft blacklisted from the scene... 俐乃-rino- (ex - Synk;yet) Remember how we established rules of the visual kei scene all members have to abide by? I can safely say one of them is to inform your band members and your label whenever you participate in a session band or a side project. Synk;yet's ex-guitarist Rino broke these rules and was terminated from his band and artist contract with Starwave Records on 2017/01/30, shortly after the return of bassist Shiori. The official reasons were "betrayal and breach of contract". Rino secretly planned musical activities with other management companies for two years behind other members' backs. He also had "private exchanges" with fans for money requests, but nothing confirmed as sexual. Synk;yet went on indefinite hiatus on 2017/05/21 despite their best attempts to keep it together, and Rino has wiped all traces of his online presence so no one knows what he is up to. 『L.』(ex-VAJRA) Let's take it back to 2009 for a bit when grotesque face masks were all the rage and it was cool to rip off Dir en grey. There was an visual kei band named VAJRA, essentially a Dir en grey rip-off parading around as a silent tribute band, and mimicked all of their antics to carve out a meager existence in the indie circuit. VAJRA started by word of mouth and shot up in popularity quickly by sticking with the flavor of the month and putting on electrifying performances. Some of these lives would include fish hooking, vomiting, and public masturbation on the crowd, but the violent, unpredictable, ink-spitting guitarist『L.』took it too far one day. He was known for punching female fans in the face, giving them black eyes, and dragging them around by the hair on the stage, but he took up a notch for a live at Sendai on 2010/05/10, and caused fans serious injury. At first, he was put on house arrest and banned from lives temporarily, but soon after he "left" the band due to musical differences. There's room for interpretation on this. It is not known if he left because he wanted to and this was the breaking point, if he was forced out, or if he truly left on his own accord. VAJRA couldn't keep up the pace without him and virtually disappeared into disbandment. 『L.』found Jesus and work as an oshare-kei vocalist for the band Awake, now known as Eru. Aki (ex-2bullet, ex-JackRose, ex-Concerto Moon) Remember Takahiro from FAZ? He was covered in our first edition of the list and was caught trying to defraud people to fund band activities. It turns out that he had an accomplice! Aki, along with Takahiro, tried to defraud an elderly woman of 3 million yen. He was arrested once in November of 2016 and again in January of 2017, both for links to Takahiro and suspicion of fraud. Norifumi Shima of Concerto Moon immediately dismissed him from the band, while vocalist Re:i announced that JackRose would enter hiatus, since Aki was the composer and keyboardist. Ouch. Ryuusei (ex-暁月 (Kyogetsu)) Another unwritten rule of the scene - one that is good practice to follow in most situations - is to keep internal band drama private. I love juicy drama stories as much as the next person, but band members spilling the beans about strife in their own project will only undermine their musical efforts. What happened to 暁月 (Kyogetsu) demonstrates this perfectly. Our story begins on early September 2017, with a few incendiary tweets from guitarist Ryuusei on Twitter. In the first tweet he claims that all bangya not attracted to him are into Himura of Bananaman, or ugly men in general. The second tweet was a little more pointed: This hit a raw nerve with a lot of fans because it came on the heels of several unexpected disbandments. But this was just the tip of the iceberg. On his blog, Ryuusei went into detail about several aspects of the scene which up to now were just rumors and which come together to make life difficult for him and his band. A few of the things he mentioned (while also explicitly noting that he didn't know everything) were: Ticket quotas as fees for live performances. Ryuusei does the math on how many tickets they need to sell to cover for the fees, which is dependent on how many fans show up to see them and that's before the band members split the money five ways. Poor return on investment for popular vk standbys such as cheki. Name drops the GazettE in a section about how well popular bands with a "pretty bassist" do financially. This got Reita's attention with a fiery response of his own. Low wages paid from the indie labels. How difficult it is for bands to recover once they are "in the red" and how close 暁月 (Kyogetsu) is to reaching that point after three years. Asks fans to spend more money at shows, less at host clubs, and to tell him more information about salaries of other band men. You can see how this won't go over well. It's one thing to blow the whistle, but when you do you better know all of the facts. Constantly dropping figures about how much your competition makes relative to you while claiming you don't know for sure is a fast way to draw a ton of well-deserved criticism both from outside and within, and that's exactly what happened. On top of that, the claims made do not mesh well with the stories I've heard about what lengths some fans will go to support their favorite artist or band. I know that some tsunagari will go as far as to feed, clothe, shelter, and fuck a band man or two just to support them! But treating your fans like ATMs and literally telling them to "If you have money, use it. High schoolers, study so you can make money in the future." is trash. To me, it seemed like Ryuusei is looking for a scapegoat for his band's poor performance. Fans struck back by revealing his name, his bare face, his DMs, and even coordinating to send 100 pizzas to his house! Ryuusei threatened to get the police involved if the situation escalated further. His behavior afterwards is what sealed the deal. His band mates wanted nothing to do with the controversy this generated, as the vocalist even went so far as to hold an "apology twicast", and posted many apologetic tweets, even individually replying to people to apologize long before Ryuusei commented on the issue. However, Ryuusei did eventually apologize before backtracking the very next day. In his second blog post, he starts by claiming he only apologized because he was forced to. He then deflects the contents of the first post to "netogya" (a derisive term referring to online fans that don't go to shows, meaning most of us here), apologizes for name dropping bands and labels, claims he's always trying to be controversial and that this is no different, and claims that he thought this was common knowledge so there would be no problem. This only provided fuel for the fire. The sad thing is that, as you could have guessed by now, these guys were virtually unknown before this. Shame is a very powerful deterrent in Japanese culture, and I've seen lesser drama capsize bigger bands than this. By constantly undoing the damage control his band members tried to provide, and by backpedaling and baiting Tanuki, Ryuusei put Kyogetsu in a spot where they had to kick him out to continue or disband. They did both. Bassist Shogo jumped ship first, but the formal disbandment of Kyogetsu was announced for October of 2017. Setsuna (ex-THE EGOIST) Whenever I write one of these lists, one person ends up doing something that eclipses everything else I discuss. Setsuna, guitarist of THE EGOIST, takes the "honors" for this position this time, although it's not something to be proud of. 2017 was not a kind year to THE EGOIST, as they paused activities earlier in the year when they lost contact with their vocalist, but things came to a breaking point by the end of the year in what will remain a black mark on visual kei for a long time to come. The timeline gets hazy at points but what we do know for certain is that Setsuna, also known as Keisuke Kawasaki (thanks NHK!), began an intimate relationship with a woman named Uran Hirayama while engaged. Uran didn't know he was engaged when she met him with the wedding planned to the degree where the venue had already been picked. The marriage was held sometime during his relationship with Uran as well. It is not confirmed if she was a mitsu of his, but what we do know is that they had a very tumultuous relationship, all documented on Hirayama's twitter. Uran used the account as a regular personal account initially, but at some point the account became flooded with pictures and screenshots of the newly minted couple. Many LINE screenshots show both happy times as well as arguments, including one where Uran demanded to know if Setsuna had slept with a tsunagari/mitsu of his named Ayumi. He initially denies it, but admits to eventually sleeping with her once and apologizes, swearing Uran is the only one he really cares for. He ends up saying something similar on his public Twitter: "I've had relationships with various women, but aside from Uran I was just messing around. I'm very sorry. I'm considering marrying [her] in the future". No mention of his wife. Other pictures included Disney date pictures, many pictures of them in the snow as a couple, and of course the now-infamous video of him eating out Uran's ass (note to future readers: he chows down). Considering this is all in public view, it didn't take long for his "wife" to come across some of it; she apparently went ballistic when she found purikura of her and Setsuna kissing in his wallet. Things get demented as the year winds down to a close. The messages on Uran's Twitter become more alarming; her profile stated 'I wish to be reborn and marry Keisuke in my next life', she posted screenshots of one of Setsuna's tweets that basically said he "will be one" with Uran (which he quickly deleted from his page), tweets about gifts she bought with the money she got from sex, and more. At some point, Setsuna informs Uran that he was married and in retaliation, she dumps all of this information on her Twitter. She also had at least one suicide attempt around December 3rd, likely in response to all of these happenings. Despite his marriage, he still publicly pines for Uran after all of this. The following is my guess of what happens next: Uran tells Setsuna about her suicide attempt(s) and he tries to talk her out of it, but ends up agreeing to commit double suicide with her a week later on December 9th. We know this because Uran sent the explicit details of the plan to one of her close friends around 3pm that day, which was later posted to her Twitter page. The person who posted the notice in no uncertain words claims it was intended to be a double suicide and firmly believes that was their original intention. This same friend also contacted the police with all of the information she had at her disposal, but by the time the police showed up to Uran's apartment at 9pm the deed was done. She was found on her futon, her room was locked, there were no signs anyone had been through her belongings, and there was a handwritten suicide note next to unused charcoal briquettes. I can only guess the plan was to lock themselves in a room and suffocate to death, but Setsuna had a last-minute change of heart, ended up choking her to death, locked the door, and left. It took the detective work of another of Uran's friends to connect Setsuna to this mess and to send the police to his door. He admitted to the killing and was promptly arrested. When asked his occupation, he claimed he was a "part-timer" and did not mention THE EGOIST, his band mates, or his label. Thus, the band was able to avoid most of the wrath of the Eye of Sauron, but they still chose to disband anyway to distance themselves from the stigma as much as possible. I don't blame them. The story stops here for now, but there are a lot more questions to be asked than can be answered. As for the most important one, as one of Uran's friends put it, "The only way to know the circumstances that led to Uran being the only one who died is to ask [Setsuna] himself". Maybe this information will come out in a court trial soon. UPDATE: THE EGOIST disbanded earlier in 2017 due to the departure of their vocalist. UPDATE 2: His trial started one year after the incident. Setsuna stated that Uran asked him to kill her, so he "helped her". Since the tribunal couldn't verify if that is true or not they accepted that Setsuna killed her on request and therefore reduced his sentence from 13 years to 3.5 years in prison. Thanks for reading! Hopefully, band members will behave and another one of these lists won't come for a good while

Akinori was possibly their only legit official bassist? All the other dudes before him on the wiki are listed as support only. But I'm hardly an expert on early Lynch. so maybe someone else in here can better comment on that.

According to my information, it can be heard on Disc 2 of 「a knot」LIMITED -2012.10.10 SHIBUYA-AX-. I will dl it and look for it. Well, it's just the last part of the song, but it can be heard during the "for 'a knot'" section.

That's what's crazy. All the members even cut off association with him... but... isn't Akinori not an original member? I don't know what label lynch is on.... but maybe it's Warner. #MusicIndustryStillSketchy2k18

I hope they are. Maybe it's in the way the bands handled it too. HNIB seemed quick to distance themselves where Lynch seemed a bit more regretful about the situation? Np. I didn't see it initially either, a friend passed it along so I'm just spreading the word. That's really not a bad idea at all tbh. XD

im going to be biting my nails in anticipation for the trailer of the last live DVD, i wonder if they'll completely gloss over the drama or put it front and center

Probably this one for Dozing Green. Not really unplugged for me tho :shrugs:

nothing new here, always been!

SINNERS is now a mediocre release? Lol ok. These last two releases have been their best in a while. Happy they accepted him into the band again. He deserved punishment obviously.... Have to respect the law there. But, to think that his career would be over from possessing marijuana is stupid. Serve the punishment. Shame. Whatever. But your career shouldn't be over something so stupid. The band took the hits too. I believe they cancelled some tour dates and had to reschedule the Hazuki solo show? Sure it was inconvenience to everyone. So they took their lumps and it's time to move on.

Next live will be January 9th KRAD

man this song is so fucking beautiful but so tragically sad, spotify won't stop recommending his songs to me

CD info DAV first single will be live limited!! release 3/9 1500yen tax in cd title: noir e.p tracklist: 1.デッドランナー (dead runner) 2.独彩歌 (doku saika)

Me too! I was scared that they'd disband, but I'm glad they're not giving up! They also played 5 new songs recently...sounds about enough for a new mini-album, huh???? :DDD

Yo! I'll be in Japan the second half of June. Holla atcha boy if you'll be around and want to catch a show (Especially considering my friends I'm going with probably won't be convinced to go to more than one VK show with me...)

yohio's disease needs to be stopped

Their New Years look:

cant believe they're fucking allowing an escaped convict back into their band ://

ex-Ba.ユウトマン (yuutoman) has returned to the band under the name ユウト (yuuto). He previously departed on December 9, 2015.

can't believe they are letting this DRUG ADDICT and JUNKIE into the band again. sad!

fuck how could i forget kannivalism's nu age???!! definitely one of my favorites from the decade for sure! thanks for reminding me @saishuu !! @helcchiawesome blurb on bis' album! i think you pretty much explained everything about why i love them. <33 miss them truly.... thank you for clarifying this! i had been wondering for so long what he'd been up to and kept hoping that he'd come back in another band someday. but i guess not, huh?

Typically when the band uses keys and other instruments that deviate from what they play, they bring in guest musicians to perform as they did with ASOM unplugged. A gentleman by the name of "Tadasuke" recorded the piano on ASOM Unplugged. They probably gave him sheet music and had him improvise and then had Kyo scream and wail into a mic for several minutes.

The distrubuted cd 「」will be relaeased at their Oneman 「THE SILENT SONG」at 2018.1.27 Takadanobaba AREA Tracklist: 1. Birth 2. 「」

Tsuzuku and Koichi came out painted black. There was no intro, the curtains opened and they were already standing silently in place until the first song started. When Tsuzuku went down, Koichi ran to Tsuzuku to check on him. Then Koichi stepped in front of him and flashed the middle finger, and he also kept holding up three fingers to show everyone until the curtain closed. Meto was also crying (at least that’s what I heard, I was honestly too caught up watching Tsuzuku and Koichi), Mia was trying to keep things together and kept playing until the end. There’s apparently going to be a DVD of this and it’s going to be 6,000 yen which is kind of insane for 14 songs. I really don’t know if they’ll keep that ending on it or not.

It looks like this is actually two split singles, and that's just the "輪廻" version. They are releasing the second half, "罪業" on May 27th for 1,000 yen. 『輪廻罪業』 1.Disease feat.祈狂 2.アンティークマリオネット feat.二人静

Looking forward to them releasing 2 singles and then disbanding, as seems to be the trend with Kai's last few bands. Joking aside, I really do love Kai's vocals, so I'm actually quite excited for this. Still, I hope this band manages to stick together longer than Kai's last few projects have.
