Sakurai-san

I love it! Everything they've done so far is fantastic!

I'm also on the fence, I kind of want to wait to see if they shake things up more...but I do like the new song, and don't own Tabetai or Kurashii.

The cover looks really cool, not sure if I should buy it or wait for the next release... 

I just looked at some videos on dystonia patients....this is fucking awful. He says he only has it on his upper right arm, but I'm scared that it may progress all over. I wish the very best for Yusuke. 
 
As for those who are saying the band needed this hiatus because "their music sucks anyway"...shame on you. This announcement was very sudden, and losing someone like Yusuke over something as devastating as this is a huge blow to the band, and this man may have to deal with this for the rest of his life. Shame on you.

Went ahead and translated this addicting song by request from @platy. Although I work in translation I don't have much experience translating lyrics but I hope you guys enjoy.
 
Just a couple of notes. For anyone that doesn't know, "ojamashimasu" doesn't really have a direct translation. It literally translates to "I'm going to be a nuisance/bother" and is usually used when entering someone's house in Japan to acknowledge that your host is allowing you to "intrude" (enter) their house. Although "ojamashimasu" is said multiple times throughout the song I tried to translate it in various ways that I personally believe conveys the meaning of their usage in the song better. The whole song is one big perverted metaphor for intruding on, or more specifically violating a girl.
 
Note: "Chome" is one part of Japan's crazy address system and denotes districts of a town. The song basically travels through different districts (district 1, district 2 etc) which are also metaphorical. He's going to ojamashimasu every part of the girl.
 
English translation is my own and I wrote up the romaji myself.
Kanji taken from Batsu's official Twitter (https://twitter.com/BATSUmamire).
Any feedback/suggestions welcome!

I like your preview view, very Mamireta style! 

Geez everyoneones so critical
Let them release some music first lol
 
I like it for a first look i think they did a real good job 

Secretly hoping Hizaki gets Juka off of fishing and back to singing dope epics again

Nice look  I really hope it sounds good !
 
^^^ THIIIIS

look at how beautiful my grandfathers are 

We need a new female visual kei band that kicks ass.

They sounds really good!
It's always a pleasure to have more female vocalists.

I 'see' what you did there.

I'll keep my eye on them

Tbh I'm glad he made the post, and that he put it in concrete terms. I've always found that side interesting, but haven't had much view into it, aside from talks with unreliable ex-bangya and the odd foreign vk bandman.
 
I do think it's hilarious that so many girls piled onto him for “not doing it for the art,” when vk (and maybe Japanese music in general) is such a commodified, commercially driven enterprise. Where's the anger at Kiryu for releasing 8 types of one single? Why do you support cheki sales which are inherently valueless and exist only to obscure the direct transfer of bangya funds to bandmen? If this is just art, why is that only bands with beautiful members go major? Why is it acceptable that someone in a hardcore deathmetal band can come back two months later in a dokidoki “you're our sixth member ♡” osare band and no one gives him shit? Those practices don't bother me personally--I don't mind artists making a living--but I love the nerve of some of those fans to accuse him of being morally bankrupt when they happily throw their parents' money at any skinny dude who walks on stage with a mic.
 
So yeah, props from me for the Left Eye moment, but also lol at all of Japan crucifying him (as he should have expected). Double lol at Reita, a guy who's lived comfortably off remaking the same 3 mediocre songs for a decade, chiming in. I'd much rather hear the opinion of someone who's been playing in Narciss for 10 years with no hope of every making any money--that's someone who knows about doing things for the art.

y'all this is called business and making money, morrigan are smart af.

I'm already in love with Mr. X look hahah, I hope this sounds good. 

I went to the doctor's the other day and he told me that the reason I am so healthy is because I listen to Buck Tick at least once a day. huh who knew?
 
But seriously buck tick news is always good news.
