I was honestly not expecting them to keep playing hakujitsu and kurohime songs and judging by the other fans' reactions when they started playing ichigo panic, I don't think anyone else was either. I don't know about the double oneman in Osaka but the double oneman in Tokyo felt like it was the last time they were gonna play those songs especially since Kou was tearing up at the end.

Anyway, as for the new songs besides uso kiss, I like Honnou the most. It's very upbeat and catchy and makes me want to jump from beginning to end even when I'm just listening to the CD.  Eiki was blowing a whistle at the live but there are no whistles in the recorded version. There's a siren??? type sound??? in the background throughout most of the song. I apologize I'm not very good at describing music so I can't really say much more than that.

Dekiai shitto is pretty generic and meh to me. Maybe it'll grow on me when I listen to the CD some more but as of right now I'm whatever about it. 
As for fashion menhera, they only played half the song before they ended their set but I liked what I heard. Another upbeat and energetic song. I'm sure it'll be on their first official release whenever that comes out. 

0:00 - 00:29 is uso kiss, 00:30 - 00:43 is dekiai shitto.

I went to their first live last night and it looks like they're going to keep playing hakujitsu and kurohime songs in addition to new songs. Also Jitan is still doing support for them.

Set list: 
1. 嘘キス (uso kiss)
2. 溺愛シット (dekiai shitto)
3. いちごパニック (ichigo panic) [without guitar solo]
4. 策略 (sakuryaku) [without guitar solo]
5. 本能 (honnou) 
6. ファッションメンヘラ (fashion menhera) [stopped halfway]

I also worry they may disband / go on hiatus :/ lol

I think you guys vastly overestimate how popular they are. 

Went to the 白日ノ夢 / 黒姫の夢遊病 double oneman last night and bought some cheki.... for the last time
Also got the live distributed 甘い暴力 CD 嘘キス and the new Gab with them on the cover.

ギガマウス - 僕のCARICATURE、壊して燃やす。Type A, B, and C
I've been so busy I haven't even opened the C type with the PV yet. oops.
A type is going to a friend. 

I'm in northern Kanto ie closer to the epicenter than Tokyo and I somehow managed to sleep through it. 

I think there's a possibility but if they were to form a new band it'd be in a year from the day they disbanded just like Lycaon. For a while leading up to their disbandment Japanese Lycaon fans had a theory that was there was a clause in their contracts that didn't allow them to play in a new band for one year after their disbandment and them coming back as Initial'L exactly one year after their last live proved that to be the case. I'm assuming it's the same for AvelCain, especially since Byou was doing support for sibilebashir while Rei was out recently.

tl;dr it's possible but probably won't happen until July of next year.

Also, as far as I know Eve is still associated with Shimizuya so if Karma and Zen do start a new band not under Shimizuya there's a 0% chance of him being in it. 

It's been a while since I posted here
 

DADAROMA - 夢タラレバ
Wouldn't call myself a fan of ddrm but I traded one of my extra copies of kamisori with a friend because we both have extra copies to get rid of. lol
 

黒姫の夢遊病 - 黒猫姫
Good shit. By far their best song and it was fucking free.
 

ザアザア - どす黒い
 

ザアザア  - 余命
Went to two instores this past weekend and anakuro has 4 more copies waiting for me. XAA-XAA is ruining my life.

Nasakenai Otoko no Thema's lyrics can be found here

the second one isn't important

A oneman to commemorate their second year anniversary and to celebrate Ricko and Zyean's birthdays isn't important?

They're making a complete comeback with a oneman at Zepp Tokyo on January 15th 2017.
Also a new song will be distributed at the live.

Not sure why they privated the original video only to reupload it? Maybe they made a typo in the video and noticed after they uploaded it?

Anyway
I have all three of their singles and I've seen them live two times so far so I have a pretty solid opinion of them now. 
I thought I was going to hate them based on the preview of いちごパニック they posted on twitter a few months ago,  and honestly I was so pissed at the time that I refused to go see them until  last month.
Their music isn't the kind that I go for at all but I like Kou's lyrics and how all their songs fit together to form a story that overlaps with Hakujitsu no Yume's. 夢遊少女 and リィザ are especially catchy.
Also their lives are a trip (even more so with alcohol) and I like that they don't take themselves too seriously. 

Their looks, both the old and the new, are awful though. They both look ridiculous irl lol

Hakujitsu is infinitely better in every aspect but I enjoy Kurohime quite a bit. They're fun.

What? "last live"?? D:

Yeah they're both coming to an end. There have been rumors from the start that both bands were temporary and would eventually become one band but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. 

I'm kinda sad because Hakujitsu is fucking lit and I'm digging Kurohime now but I'm still looking forward to seeing what they're gonna do. My fingers are crossed for a new band with Jitan (their support bassist)

New look

They also just announced two double onemans with Kurohime no Muyuubyou. The first will take place on 11/23 at Shibuya REX and the second in Osaka on 12/3 at OSAKA RUIDO.

12/3 will be both Hakujitsu no Yume's and Kurohime no Muyuubyou's last live.

New XAA-XAA goods:

were the growls lip-synced or something?

I don't recall them doing that at the live or the other few times I've seen them? It might've been something they added while editing the video. I'm seeing them on Monday so I can confirm this for ya'll then.

What? No "Lluvia"? No "Faizh"? I'm disappointed.

Lluvia is one of my favorite songs from them but I completely understand why they chose to not include it on the DVD. Ricko tried to get us all to sing the bridge for like 10 minutes but since there are only like 5-7 people that go see Jiluka regularly, most of the people who went to the live were new/casual fans so almost no one knew the lyrics and it was awkward as fuck.

Along with the video blackdream posted, they finally announced the details of the DVD.

Price: 3,000 yen
Track list:

1. ZONE (live)
2. Raison d'etre (live)
3. Primal Urge (live)
4. Screamer (live)
5. Twisted Pain (live)
6. Lethal Affliction (MV)

They also mentioned that they're considering selling the DVD via their webshop, but you'll get a limited tokuten DVD if you buy it from their buppan on 9/23.

Updated my list with releases from the past 5 monthes

 Yay ALSDEAD!! I can't get enough of them!!

omg yes I know Nathalie. Met her going to ALSDEAD lives and approached her cos she was the only person there speaking English LOL 

 

I've heard of Jiluka! Nathalie tweets about them all the time lol never really gave them a listen though. Judging by their look I assume they're similar sound to DADAROMA?

Same! I'm dying on the inside waiting for them to come back, especially since I was still stuck in the states when they announced their hiatus. I used to go see them every once in a while back in 2013 and 2014 but I had to finish my degree before moving back here. Were you at their live back in April?

Ahahaha I knew it. I feel like anyone who goes to see Alsdead knows her. I actually just went to see Jiluka with her yesterday. lol. I wouldn't compare them to Dadaroma. They're more like straight up metal/metalcore I guess? They have quite a few PVs on YouTube if you want to check them out. I suggest Lluvia, Twisted Pain, and Lethal Affliction. 

Welcome!
And yesssss ALSDEAD! I fucking love them. By chance do you know Nathalie?

As for band suggestions, have you listened to Jiluka?

because you saw them live recently where they showed the full new pv can you please tell was this spot really already the FULL version? so the song is barely 2:30 minutes long!?

Nah it's not the full version. The full version is going on the DVD that comes with the limited edition of the single.

I know I only posted the other day but I bought more shit.

アヴァンチック - アイドル

I saw hakujitsu no yume again at XAA-XAA's shusai today and they were both at buppan so I was like yolooo and bought 2 cheki, both of Kou/Sera/whatever the fuck he wants to call himself now. He put it in a medicine bag?? and included a set list from today. 

They showed the full PV after their live tonight and I approve. Good shit.

Can't wait for the releases and the instores.

@PlatyGlad to hear you had a great time! Yeah I was actually shocked how fucking awesome they were that day despite the short setlist. 

xaa-xaa's fans are always crazy but 7/24 was A LOT louder than the other times I've seen them so far,  probably since they played at a bigger venue with a larger crowd than usual, also the fact that quite a lot of non-fans were also getting into them.  A lot of the girls behind me at the front who were meh about them at first were like ザアザアいいね～ after their set. Based on the instore attendance and how much of the crowd was into them that day, they're definitely gonna get popular which I have mixed feelings about....

As for merch, I'll think about it so no promises but I could possibly help you out depending on what you want.

lololol at Yoshiatsu. Dadaroma isn't my thing but I would've paid to see that ngl :') 

Kazuki is hilarious in that interview. I translated my favorite parts for my Tumblr so my friends and followers could laugh about it but if you'd like I can do the whole thing. It's pretty short.

Speaking of Kazuki, at the last instore I went to he actually spoke to me in English. It was hilarious and sooo bad. lmfao.
He tried so hard so I felt bad telling him Japanese is ok in fear of breaking his kokoro but it was all good.

Got this today

白日ノ夢 - 白き記憶
