Plot twist: It's Kamijo

also @ZeusComing here to set the facts about Dir en grey straight:
This is incorrect, Setsuna was a WIP project song by Dir en grey that developed over the course of 1997 (starting out as 5 minutes and evolving into a nearly 7 minute track) until finally being scrapped in the first half of 1998 for reasons unknown. Whether Setsuna was an official title or one given to it by fans is still subject to speculation.
 
"Ai Murasaki Iro" Is in fact pronounced "Ranshishoku" based on a newspaper interview which I scanned and upped some year ago from a indie magazine made in early 1998. I know this due to the fact that the name was written out in katakana. It's the onyomi pronunciation of the same kanji. They played this song at every oneman live starting from August 1997 until their last indies live at the Budokan, after which it was scrapped due to poor audience response, supposedly.
 
They  had another unreleased longer track that they played throughout the second half of 1997 and on and off into early 1998 which then subsequently disappeared as well. No known title for this track.
 
There was an early version of Mazohyst of Decadence played from 1997 which differed slightly.
 
raison detre had a early quite different  version which premiered at their oneman tour in late 1997 and evolved into it's current form during 1998.
 
ZAN is also one of the earliest songs they wrote, and it was played from their first tour in april 1997 and onwards in various stages of evolution until it arrived at the GAUZE form in late 1998.
 
Tsumi to Batsu was also performed during their last indies tour in a slightly different format.
 
They also premiered two new songs at the DUM SPIRO SPERO and Kisou part of the recent tour respectively which haven't been mentioned or played since. 
 
I could go on but I think that'll do for now.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Last single was surprisingly good and I've already had a soft spot for deathgaze

Love me a bit of Ai, you always know what you're going to get

I can't recognized Chisa at all! 
 
Bring it on!
Ready for Zero One 2.0

I didn't hate their last couple releases, so I'm more curious than worried.

DEZERT new album will be released at 2018 summer (not further details announced yet)
 
they will hold their 2-day live tour "What is ”Today”?" since 2018/08/18-19 at Osaka CLUB QUATTRO to 2018/09/23-24 at Sapporo cube garden
 
they will hold their "【This Is The “FACT”】TOUR 2018 -FINAL" at 2018/08/11 at Liquidroom Ebisu with NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST and アルルカン (Arlequin)
 

Today's Engrish: "treller"

what, exactly, is an 'official bootleg'? 

When they said 'cone song' I didn't imagine they were talking about fuckin PINE CONES..
Anyway, the sample itself sounds n i c e and I can't wait to hear the full version, but I have a feeling like this is gonna end up being one of THOSE songs that Kyo'll be having trouble with live due to the million layered vocal tracks

AHHHHH No thanks (#notoclowns)

I think it's a fair blanket statement to suggest that this scene attracts many 'damaged' individuals. I'll probably take heat for that, but it's so obvious.

I like it for the music and 'originality' of it all personally. Looks are fun, but after listening to this shit for a decade I'm past the stage of imagining bandomen are my friends lol.

am i the only one who calls them  "one twenty twelve"

for their stupid name P∽L was a big fav of mine... apparently the symbol is a reverse tilde. haven't seen it anywhere else.


being a 12012 stan was tough, definitely the people i talked to irl called them 'twelve' or 'twelve-oh-twelve' unless you were trying to stunt on people with your japanese by calling them ichini. my parents always just called them "the numbers band".
edit: totally forgot, if you were an elitist or a shipper you'd call them 凶器所持/kyoki shoji (possession of a dangerous weapon, related to the penal code) because 1) it was cool 2) the band members wouldn't find your lewd fanfic. eventually they adopted the name for their side project/session band and ruined it for the shippers lmao

there was also that Kra side project, 36481? (question mark included). this is apparently how you spell "KRA" in pager/beeper text input. the missing number replaced by ? is 6.
and if it's OK to stray from band names, i was mystified by deathgaze's 294036224052 release until i learned it was the input required to spell "gokiburi" (cockroach) using page/beeper texting in reverse.

It's the ones at the anime con's you really have to watch out for.
