O refrão que me prendeu foi desta e é uma das melhores músicas deles pra mim, porém é uma música que esta esquecida pelos próprios membros ao que parece, uma pena.

DevilKitty will release a new single called 「バンギャル最終兵器」(Bangyaru saishû heiki) on 2017.03.15.

Os comentários do vídeo são os melhores kkkkkkk Povo total revoltado XD

Eu acho legalzinha, tem musicas boas, como também tem musicas ruins, mas em geral acho mesma coisa do que the gazzete, é trocar 6 por meia duzia

Nuss, eu aloprava muito essa historia de clip se passando no estacionamento...
 
*MALICE MIZÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉR*

Ele tava fazendo cósprái de quê nesse dia? :v

Eu juro com todas as minhas forças que eu vi esse cara aqui no metro de SP

Ele tava "normal", o que me deu certeza que era ele foi o cabelo enorme e o nariz maior ainda, além de andar como se estivesse cagado(mil desculpas para esse cara, mas é verdade...)

exatamente esses que eu curto.  Raramente  da uma vontade de escutar DSS. Se eles fizessem mais musicas estilo ARCHE seria otimo 

DEG = ARCHE + GAUZE.
 
 
E o último membro a entrar no MH foi dia 11 de novembro, faz tempinho já sem carne nova no pedaço. xD

Bom, o MH está fechado pra novos cadastros no momento né

The super long name for this show seems to have been: 
君は鋭く。「panorama3echoes」
発売記念主催
「残響、攪拌、振動覚について vol.5」
 
(if any mods read this... I wasn't sure if this was the right forum for my own live reports... seems like the focus is on translations. Move it if there's a better spot)
 
I'm in Japan for a little bit, and of course that means hitting some VK shows while I'm in town.
 
On this particular Thursday night I went to see a band I really like (君は鋭く。) and a bunch of other bands I didn't know at all. This isn't a full fledged narrative live report... but rather some thoughts and first impressions about each act. And of course since this was a VK show in Tokyo I followed the rules about no pictures and have none to share... other than this one of some flowers in the lobby for the show:
 

 
Let's start with a bit about the venue. Takadanobaba AREA. The most defining feature of this live house is that there are three tiers of the concert floor with bars at the front of each, helping give everyone a good view. Another positive aspect of AREA is that the bar is outside the main floor (and I imagine the merch could be also but since this show was pretty sparsely attended they had that taking up the highest tier.) I watched all the bands because the whole experience is pretty novel for me, but I could imagine hanging out outside the stage area near the bar if I didn't like the band playing (or if I wasn't there by myself ha). On to the show:
 
コントラリエ (Contrary?) - Such a baby band. A little too ‘cute’ for my tastes (singer had a sock puppet thing on his hand the whole time). If I had some advice for this band it would be to not spend 6 minutes of a 20 minute set talking after playing two songs when nobody knows who you are. Gotta give us a reason to care before you start chattering about *whatever* (I should note I don't speak Japanese at all... but the audience did not seem particularly captivated by the MC either).
 
黒乃うさぎ (kuronousagi) - Cringe-worthy embarrassment. 8-bit garageband angura  kei (?). This was just the singer.... and his one fan in attendance. At its peak tonight AREA only had about 50 people in it, but Kuronousagi had literally one person on the bottom level of the floor nearest the stage. He tried to bribe people to come down and participate with candy…. but ended up just handing it to that one girl and having her give it to the people in the back. I actually didn’t completely hate it.. but I came for a rock show and this guy was doing goofball karaoke.
 
Bask in the Deep - like a 180 degree turn from the last act (at least tonight's lineup was very diverse). Very pro, not VK at all except for a really slouchy top and cardigan on the singer/guitarist. Bassist had some sick runs. Finally got my head bobbing some.
 
ジグラット (Ziggrat) - Is this the same band as the one around like ~5 years ago?? I could’ve sworn they looked like an Aicle copy band at some point with lots of bright colors and happiness. Now the vocalist was wearing a polka dot dress but he was definitely going for a darker kinda ugly on purpose thing and the guitarists were wearing gallo esque black with white stripes get ups. (in stark contrast to the vocalist the guitarist was super pretty and could actually pass as a girl). Was fairly heavy and fun… but I was confused for most of the show about who this band was because I swear ziggrat used to look sooooo different. (One fun thing... instead of an 'MC' the vocalist did this little show wherein he pulled out two tea mugs and drank some water from each, then made a girl from each side of the audience come take them. No idea what it was supposed to be about, but I guess a couple people got a cool souvenir.)
 
カラビンカ (Karabinka) - Unlike Contrary, this band didn't say one word to the crowd and barely even looked up at them. A three piece very angura (I say that mostly because they had white face paint and a noisy kinda punk sound) band with a girl bassist. The guitarist/singer was super focused on the ground in front of him but did make a ton of noise with his guitar and sang with a ton of passion. They came out, played their hearts out for four songs… and left abruptly. That’s how you play to an un-friendly room (not that they didn’t have fans… I just mean when there are more people who don’t know you than do… give the unfamiliar as many reasons to like you as possible and as few to dislike you.) They were selling, and wearing, nooses of different colors at their merch table, I can't believe another VK band hasn't done this yet.
 
マルコ (Marco) - IDK, not bad or great... some or all of the members of this band definitely love Merry.
 
君は鋭く。(Kimihasurudoku) - The band I came to see. They had only released three songs before this show... but one of them (Stargazer) is a favorite of mine. Earlier in the show after the first band an older lady and younger girl came up to me in asked me in broken English (no offense intended, it was still wayyyyy better than my Japanese) what band I was there to see. When I answered 'kimi wa surudoku' they both smiled big smiles and asked me again to make sure of what I said. Unless I find out otherwise I'm going to assume this lady was someone in the band's mom because she was very happy that I said I liked them... she then went over to their merch table and grabbed a wrist band and insisted I take it. She was sweet (and gave me some free swag!) Related; @JRD will kill me or herself if she finds out how little I paid for a couple of their live-limited releases at the end of the show.
 
Their two vocalist set up was fun. I'm not one to participate in all the choreographed dancing and headbanging but when they played one of my fave songs ever I was definitely bouncing and raising my fist when appropriate. The vocalist with glasses had to keep taking them off to headbang like he wanted to. They made some announcement as they were leaving about something ( i think a show or release in December.... I'm probably wrong but I thought I heard 'juu-ni gatsu') that had two fans in front freaking the fuck out. Didn’t play that long for hosting the event… but I guess they don’t have a ton of songs haha. I had a lot of fun during their set.
 
All in all my biggest complaint about the show was that they definitely did it at too big a venue. It was never even 20% full. I saw some cool bands I need to check out and some I'll definitely be ignoring. Not a bad night.

There was a short interview with LIEVRE CLAY in the 34th issue of Cure V-splash.
 

 
 
Q1. Please introduce yourselves!
 
shion: I'm shion on vocals.
 
kiria: I'm kiria on guitar.
 
hibari: I'm hibari on bass.
 
waju: I'm waju on drums.
 
 
Q2. Could you tell us the origin of your band's name?
 
shion: Our name was taken from the French words libre ("freedom") and créer ("create"), which were then made a little easier to pronounce and we ended up with "LIEVRE CLAY." There's another meaning to our name which I can't say here!
 
 
Q3. What is your band concept?
 
shion: Our concept is based on our band's name, that is, "the art of freedom."
 
 
Q4: What do you think is the appeal of your band?
 
shion: If you try searching for a band like LIEVRE CLAY you probably can't find it. That's our appeal.
 
kiria: I think it's the individuality of each of us and how striking we are, as well as the musical aspects growing out of that.
 
hibari: How each one of us has a really unique personality.
 
waju: It's how well we get along--something you'll notice this if you watch our lives or follow our SNS.
 
 
Q5: Can you tell us more about your individual role in the band and what's important to you?
 
shion: It's important that we're independent and bring something different to the band.
 
kiria: I mentioned the musical aspects previously. Our music isn't of the devastating or brutal kind; instead I aim for fans to be able to experience a surreal and fresh setting created through our music. If you listen to it I think that's the sense you'll get.
 
hibari: Instead of doing heavy music, it's important to me that our music is based on refined and fresh melodies that are easy on the ears.
 
waju: In my case I try not to be overly conspicuous since my role is to support the other parts and push them to the foreground.
 
 
Q6: Any artists you've been influenced by?
 
shion: Acid Black Cherry's yasu, UVERworld's TAKUYA∞.
 
kiria: X JAPAN, Mr.Children.
 
hibari:  SID, SCANDAL.
 
waju: X JAPAN, DaizyStripper, heidi.
 
 
Q7: Tell us more about what you look forward to as far as lives are concerned.
 
shion: Regardless if it's a taiban, presents live, or one-man, I place a lot on emphasis on how we perform as one unit. Also, to not get my lyrics wrong *laughs*
 
kiria: Every single time, I treat it as if it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I always do my best!
 
hibari: Each live is a wonderful opportunity for us to figure out an area in which we require more work, as we want to improve and become a better band!
 
waju: We always put everything we have into it until the end because we don't want to lose to anyone!
 
 
Q8: What does music (or this band) mean to you?
 
shion: We're really close just like members of the same family, and this is the place where I'm able to express myself in the best way possible.
 
kiria: It's my life.
 
hibari: This is what I live for!
 
waju: This band is a place I can rely and always fall back on, and we're always looking for others who feel the same way.
 
 
Q9: What's the aim of your band moving forward?
 
shion: We want to always stay true to ourselves!
 
kiria: To successfully hold a one-man live.
 
hibari: A successful first one-man.
 
waju: What's immediately before us is important, but I also hope we'll still be making music with the same members 10 years down the road.
 
 
Q10: Finally, a message to the readers?
 
shion: I really hope that more people can hear of LIEVRE CLAY and get to know us.
 
kiria: I'll be really glad if you read this and have an interest in us, and please come have fun at our lives!
 
hibari: Please come see us at our lives! I think you'll find something fresh in us!
 
waju: We certainly have something that you won't find anywhere else. Let's meet at the livehouse!
