ピコ(PIKO) new maxi single (title not yet finalized) will be released at 2015/09/30 (2 TYPE)
 
limited edition (1,400yen) will include CD+photobook, and regular edition (1,000yen) will include CD only

is it just me or does the vocalist kind of.. resembles MiA? anyway nice look!

Oh hey, a little Merry live! They play Happy life starting 13:24. So good! It's supposed to have a straightforward 80s punk rock feel (think The Blue Hearts etc.) and it totally does.

track list is disappointing...

"Hey guys, I don't have any more new song ideas."
"That's okay, we'll just put Zetsubou on the single like last time, but with a different 'featuring' vocalist."
"Brilliant!"
 

Well that's incredibly stupid, but oh well. I gotta say, I'm more than likely to keep them under the same name anywho.

Chizuru looks like Misaruka's vocalist.

I love this band but i think its time to Minhpa stop using these cheap wigs. He looks like a 15 yo girl trying to cosplay hatsune miku using less than $15

Instead of DAD AROMA, isn't it more like DADA ROMA?

I think absolutely different, Phantasmagoria and Lin is so far from each other. Look, i respect that you love this band, i agree the metalcore has grown huge but, as @herpes said, Lin is a mess. I feel so absolutely, a long time ago.... since Metamorphose.
Kisaki has a lot of good idea, but it doesn't turn out well like in Phantasmagoria, because you can be 100% sure the Phantasmagoria's songs have not written only by Kisaki. Jun and Iori did an amazing job in arrangement and he could work better with Riku about lyrics at that time.
Lin had a big chance to be famous just because of Kisaki and Riku's history, but the songs was not enough good, that's it. Look at the Oricon first week sales. As if Forever Exists 2000+, Metamorphose ~900, Silent To My pain ~700. Flowers Bloom ~400 and since that it's getting worse and worse. It's not because the scene changed, it's because the people realized Lin won't be ever on the same level of Phantasmagoria and they gave up on this band. Even with Megaromania members the band didn't upgrade so much.

I like Phantasmagoria, although I like their darker side, not so much at the end getting softer.
 
As for Lin, as I said, I have been listening to the band since last year. I like what the band did with Riku and thr other band members. I don't dislike Sui at all, but changing the vocalist and consequenlty a change in sound made the band too different.
 
By the way, since you are talking about VK switching to metalcore, is the synth era (I don't know how to say it better) kind of gone? I mean the sound as in songs like Limit by ν[NEU] that was so popular since 2010 at least.
