i've been at some lives where they play a new song and it's kind of awkward with fans not knowing what to do.. depends on the song, i guess.

i'm glad if the new song is instantly fun~

Yeah, this - there was briefly that kind of awkwardness of everyone standing here and staring towards the beginning, and that's been my general experience with new songs being played. But the lull didn't last long, at least for my section of the crowd, and everyone got moving. It was a pretty great experience in that respect.

This is beautiful.

I'm not a technical music expert or anything so this probably won't be helpful at all, but I really liked 羽花. It had a good hook, and as expected there were some heavier sections. Also, damn, Mejibray fans are on top of their furi game, at least my section of the crowd. Everyone jumped right into clapping and headbanging along, which actually might've spoken less to the fans' credit and more to the fact that the song was that catchy, IDK. I'm really looking forward to hearing the release, but I tend to prefer Mejibray live so I'm grateful I had that kind of experience.

So does the GAZEMOB consider band criticism disrespect? 

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

I'm trying to think of how to describe it since it didn't really register that it was 詩踏み until after the fact for me because I'm a moron. *hangs head in shame* I can say fast and heavy is 100% accurate,  and I did thoroughly enjoy it (unsurprisingly the crowd was super into it). I'll probably have a much better read on it after the first Osaka show. I remember at one point I was like 'Child Prey on steroids???' but again I'm a fucking idiot, so that's probably not remotely accurate.

Maybe but according to the post on their ohp the signatures are web shop bonuses if ur planning on buying it at the live might as well buy it on their web shop  just in case its not signed at the live
 

Good to know; I guess I'll find out tomorrow one way or the other. <3 Thanks!

Maybe they wanted an image change or something? Or just wanted a fresh start? Who knows.

So there's no difference with the editions ? Just the covers ?

From what i understand Type A is nation wide release and Type B is Live-Limited/Starwave Webshop

I might pick this up i just recently got into them and the web-shop one gets signed by the members

Really? Is there a chance of getting a signed copy by going to the lives then? *fingers crossed*

Admittedly not too familiar with the stuff above, although Moffo's Vocalise was in fact a treat. Definitely something I could see myself enjoying in the right mood, so thanks for that!

1. Mejibray - Tori wa oyogikata o shirazu obore nakigara

2. Dir en grey - AMON

3. hide - Pink Spider

4. Malisend - 閃

5. Mejibray - Divergence

6. Mejibray - Baby Crossing

7. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

8. the GazettE - Burial Applicant

9. Nirvana - You Know You're Right

10. Dir en grey - Lotus

Special shout-out to Jason Mraz for breaking that up a little! I went with the first song because I'm a sucker for the bass in it, I love the lyrics, etc. Honestly, my taste with this band kind of changes from week to week since I'm still a relatively new fan and keep finding new favorites, but this one's stuck with me.

BRRK sounds like the noise one makes before they vomit.

Well that's a relief!

and i wish mejibray would do photo instore JUST ONCE so i can buy 10 tickets and die happy.

Yo, this.

I'm kind of mad I missed this actually, haha. I went to the Kansai Rock Summit and even if I didn't see it happen, apparently these guys got chased around by cops all through the day while they were trying to advertise it, lmfao. They gave me a flier too, but I had a long train ride home with some friends that were pretty eager to leave, so... can't be helped, I guess!

he can seem kind of like he's being a sarcastic asshole in reply to a question without saying anything.

Oh my god this is so true. 

Also joined the mobile tour lottery.  Fingers crossed. Will edit in a sec with Meto pics.

I was never that into Screw but this is no less a shock on top of a lot of other bad news today. :/

UGGGGHHHHHH

OH WHAT THE HELL

Goddamnit. u_u

I agree that the ocean of phones and screen is super annoying; on the other hand, I also agree that no pictures for VIP people is kind of bullshit considering. I mean even if I personally don't love them all that much (I'm about as photogenic as an ameba), for the amount of money that the VIP tickets went for it should at least be an option.

I'd be more upset about the lack of new material if I had actually gotten the chance to purchase any of the old singles - as it stands I'm pretty pleased with it.

The End is the only Mejibray song i don't particularly like... maybe because i'm used to the heavier side of things. i heard a rumour that the song was written 7 years ago, so maybe that has something to do with the odd sound? (don't quote me it was something i thought i glanced over really quickly somewhere)

 

fucking loved Agitato GRIMOIRE tho.

and practically all of their music. these guys got me into VK and i will always love them to bits, no matter what.

I don't know if this is actually relevant but if it was written years ago, Tsuzuku's last remark in his comment when VanessA disbanded was "TRUE END", at least according to this: http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/03/14/vanessa-disbands/ Might be reaching but it seems awfully coincidental word choice, and that message was basically a positive one about pushing forward.

oh my god my mind is blown

 

btw am i the only one who almost flipped because for a second i thought that meto would throw ruana down the hill LOL

I was too busy having Lion King flashbacks. ;D

A few years ago I got some responses from Jun of Gotcharocka, and both Aika and Yuhma of Fixer like any tweet directed at them.

As it was the show was 6 1/2 hours long so, haha.
