The spot underwhelmed me but the full song is actually p good.

It's visual kei. 99% of "girls" are guys.

Good to see there wasn't a repeat performance of the members forgetting the lyrics to Ryunen on the Contrary like in their last live, lmao. "Toki in farewell lalalala~"

I aPPROVE OF THIS

???????

I thought the bassist looked familiar. She's a DBZ-obsessed cosplayer I used to follow on Insta. The band is surprisingly not terrible.

I'm liking Kuze so far. Metal as fuck. Teru's perpetually worried face in the PV gives me a weird sense of anxiety. Like please smile and show some emotion to balance out Hizaki's blankness like you usually do, lmao. Why did they give him that makeup. Everything about this PV is weird compared to others. And the chorus doesn't seem to fit the song but it's still good imo!

Oooh. This is loads better than their recent stuff.

This is... different.

Damn. Even though I prefer Bou-era An Cafe, this is really sad.

i see my ADAMS 2.0 prediction was correct... but at least ADAMS had some good songs. this is not good.

Hell, I want him to sing. His voice is so bad it's good. I miss it lmao

I can't believe you guys don't like Refrain Limit/Drug Habit, what the fuckkkk. That song was always a bop to me! Anyway, my favorite albums are 翔〜カケラ〜裸 and 絵〜エマダラ〜斑. I own the former and it's honestly one of my most prized possessions. I also really love how emotive Aki is in their PVs and live performances. Just look at his eyes.

:I

well, we had ELE-MUSIC for a hot minute. i think a new 90s homage kei label might suffer the same fate... let's hope not.

1. synchronized spinning at the chorus of a song 2. charmismatic bandmen 3. edgy depressive lyrics and mid-song monologues 4. vocalists that are so bad they're good 5. "wtf were they smoking" genre mashups

Glad I'm not the only one who got Maria Cross vibes from those high notes, omg.

Plot twist: It's Kamijo

I have! They're a good "soft kei" band. Will and SkY are my faves.

Kisaki. Even though he's an asshole, I tend to follow his stuff and most of the bands/people he associates with because it's my all around aesthetic. If he suddenly up and retires for real, I'll be pretty sad.

that look is fuckin terrible. i miss call me/ghost hotel/spoopy kei pentagon.

Meh.

I doubt it's THE Juka. He seems real content posting cars and karaoke videos on Insta. But it'd be awesome if he came back...

The Lareine vibes in Mystery 👌👌👌
