Members are allowed to review what they want and there is no requirement for it to be freely available for download first. This has been the rule and this will continue to be the rule. Plenty of websites on the internet post reviews of releases without providing much more than a sample and they survive just fine. And the members there thank the reviewer for sharing his/her thoughts and look forward to hearing it for themselves instead of advising them to stay quiet until they can illegally download it. Be thankful @desparejo86 didn't write this review with a tone of superiority and honestly wants more members to support the scene.
 
Most music ever released will eventually find its way onto the internet. Be patient. Free downloads have spoiled you all.

Any more off-topic meta discussion will be deleted.
 

Jesus Christ.
I posted this review to encourage people to fucking buy it  because it's a good single worth buying. And if you like the band but aren't going to buy it, here's a heads up: the new release is good.
 
It was like ten bucks at the zoisite online shop. They ship overseas.  Everyone does have the same access.
 
Are you seriously asserting that someone would write a review to brag about having ten dollars?
 

best satsuki solo moment ever tbh
 

This probably wont be bad like Fail East Dizain.
 
And the fact that they got someone from 12012 definitely has peaked my interests. I wanna hear some music. 
 
 

DEZERT live-distributed single "おはよう(ohayou)" will be released at their one-man live at Zepp Tokyo at 2016/06/05
 
 

These guys could release 4 hours of whale calling and I would be on board.

their new band name is "ZERO MIND INFINITY", and they will hold their first live at Takadanobaba AREA at 2016/06/15 and their presents live "ONE MIND" at Takadanobaba AREA at 2016/07/16

Was driving around listening to Cassis getting excited for Gazette's NYC show in a couple weekends.... thought I'd record some thoughts. Let me know what you think of this (old) Gazette single!
 
(shoutout to Jrocknyc shoutboxer Ken who made a few videos like this about old school Nagoya Kei that were fun... I couldn't find any of them anymore though.)

I just received A_Kills_A in the mail the other day and I have to say I'm quite pleased. After so long without a proper studio recording, I thought maybe something might have gotten lost with the personnel changes. While not one track specifically blew me away like the title tracks for Fufuu, He and magaru sekai did, overall the songs are catchy and consistent and are definitely 100% munimuni.

Big Money maybe surprised me the most. It's their most upbeat track since Lovelovelove and it has that 90's visual kei poppy quality.
 
Now we wait for the doguu album! Which according to the liner notes of A_KIlls_A is 80% done.

btw they will hold their live tour "heidi. the BEST tour 2016" since Machida THE PLAYHOUSE at 2016/06/25 and up to Shimokitazawa GARDEN at 2016/09/11

Hmmm, I had Kohsuke (heidi.) send me a kaomoji once, Takeru (SuG) send me something about what he likes to do I think (lol it was 6 years ago), ryo (9GOATS) twice (one being me asking him to tell my friend happy bday), Masataka and Lotto (THOMAS) quite a few times... and I think that's p much it.
 
I feel like unless they are in a very small band, they won't reply to you because they don't want to """discriminate the fans"""" 
 
edit: I just remembered that I talked to bucchi (sasabuchi hiroshi, ex. pura, now in creature creature) through Facebook too. Haha.

Official Promo Pic:

is this some dumb all star session band/live announcement? are these artists all joining forces to finally end the shitshow we call visual kei? is this a legitimately interesting band? who knows--STAY TUNED

High production values are wasted on a song like this. I know they have the potential to be so much more than they are; CodeRebirth, DELUHI & UNDIVIDE were all killer bands, it's just not adding up.

Maybe they haven't found themselves yet? I just hope they do before they disband D:

Agreed on the slapping too. It got old pretty fast. And I should have clarified, I don't think Keita is a bad vocalist, this project just needs someone a bit more experienced, imo. Keita's previous works sounded awesome.
