-NOVA-

pretty sure it refers to Alfred Hitchcock, the best horror movie director of all time. hence the "film director" reference
 
so glad to see this! Zetu were cool, I really hope this band lasts longer and releases more than just 2 limited cds

You all need to chill. Take this type of conversation elsewhere you keep rebumping the thread for nonsense. If you want to discuss piracy and other things take it to a different thread. Not here leave this for the news. Please and thank you

Hot take: The reason they abandoned Visual Kei was so that they could legally perform in Russia without being accused of spreading "Gay propaganda"

"In the next episode of Dimlim no Dorama: Will Retsu finally find his true inner self? Is Sho able to handle the sudden fame after the release of MISC or will he leave the band just one week before their sold out Tokyo Dome Show? Will Hiroshi finally doing anything? Will Laptop-san finally get the stage presence he deserves?"

I would assume that the Smiley Thing will be their next PV.

At this point idgaf about Dimlim as a band or Retsu, I’m in it for the telenovela realness. 

You guys stan this shit hard lol.

tbh I'll personally consider them fully "no longer VK" once their set lists no longer include majority of their copycat d.i.d. era and they spend at least a year w/o backtracking into the scene again.
 
if you're calling ur little personal vanity music project non-visual while still throwing ambitiosus principles as a concert ender on every gig it really doesn't feel that ReaL or AuthentiQ

I dunno guize, to me it's still the same band that just decided to go in the indie rock dezert direction but just math'd up the song structure and riffs and jammed as much material in the four odd minutes as possible. I think in this case all this talk about whether it feels like its all there or that it's a mess or whether it has soul or not is just nonsense. I understand if someone thinks all the time signature shit and transitions are in bad taste, but at least in vk that's pretty novel. The chorus still 100% carries in the entire thing and that could've been in their old songs just as well as in this one. 

am i in the masterclass rock music thread? it surely seems so fellas

I also will react to this topic.
 
I've listened to more songs on their youtube.. and all their previous songs are just  bad, shit visual kei music.. not even amazing rock quality, just typical boring visual kei, with no heart with no feelings just.... no.
 
 
but the new song...
The beat, the melody, the kinda vocal sound...
It all mix nicely together as a perfect mix.... it really though your heart.
Truly 10/10 song.
And believe me it is. 
 
Lately I only listen to masterclass rock music. music who is played by bandguys who are longer in the music world as those young dudes. music of people who know what music is.  I follow lot's of "legend Japanese rock stars (which most of you never did hear off tho lol)"  
So because of that I became very picky of what GOOD music is. 
 
 
However, I call this song really a master piece. it's a perfect song, easy to like, it touch your heart.
vocal fits perfectly to the melody....
 
 
But by listening to their previous songs,, I kinda doubt their their album will only contain this masterclass songs. 
 
 
If they will release more music like this... then I surely will support them.
I'm looking for this kind of visual kei bands, who really put everything into music.
 
 
if you dislike this kind of sound,
well then. you really don't have a good taste for music. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this brand of indie/math (done to this extent) unprecedented in the VK scene? The sound itself may not be inherently unique, but contextually, you gotta give these boys their props.
 
 
 
This is just the style. I can understand how it might sound chaotic and senseless to some ppl tho...and it may be that I'm biased because my ears are just acclimated to music like this.
 
But to me, it sounds like a glitchy/IDM-like approach to composing, and you hear this type of thing done in ling tosite/Tk's solo stuff and haisuinonasa, amongst many others. The sokoninaru comparison is especially apt because they've been REALLY hammering, and in my opinion - overdoing-, this style lately.
 
This type of composing can get REALLY tedious if overused, but I think DIMLIM did a fine job in this song of keeping things cohesive, catchy, and interesting, and not just being flashy for the sake of it. It's not an easy balance to strike, and trust me, in comparison to a lot of the stuff out there that takes a similar approach, DIMLIM are doing this style justice. Their VK leanings just make it even more special imo.
 
That said, we'll see how well this plays out on the album...

This is actually a fantastic j-indie song LOL, lamenting the loss of the BROOTALITY but this is a really well written song and DIMLIM still shit on everyone's head PERIODT!!!!!

Yeah I was expecting much worse. Well, the song has a lot going on and it's as such pretty hard to absorb in a few listens, but it's kinda cool. Of course if it wasn't by the heavy elements I wouldn't even give a listen to the band, and as such seeing them ditching the heavy elements is a bit underwhelming, but I always thought they were very good at writing poppy, memorable stuff (actually the first time I heard Chedoara it was exactly the softer parts that stood out the most to me) so I don't think everything is lost. I agree the song is a bit derivative (isn't all VK though) and I feel like they've really betting all slots in this mathy clean guitar kind of sound that has been absolutely blowing up lately (see Ichika Nito and all that) so it doesn't have that strong of a first impact as something like "Vanitas" or "Shigarami" (or even "Aharewata" for that matter, as much as I hate that song), but is definitely a grower. The production is good but I wish I could pick Sho's vocal harmonies on the chorus better.
 
Haven't heard the itunes samples and I don't think I can either tbh so don't have anything to say about anything else. 2 SEs are absolutely unnecessary though

It sounds like everyone in Sokoninaru and Develop One’s Faculties are playing at the same time while falling down the stairs 

the guitaristé

Appreciating the song more with each listen and man, Sho is pretty much the best vocalist the scene has produced in the last decade, he is improving so fast

Not really sure how y'all could enjoy tracks like Rijin and Vanitas but somehow hate this. Sure they're emphasising the mathy elements more while downplaying the heavier side somewhat, but it's hardly a complete 180 from their last couple of releases or anything.
 
Anyway I'm basically a math slut so I'll let this song have its way with me. All hail visual math kei etcetc.
