I'm not even talking about all other possible options i.e. a tote bag + CD inside or a signature kaoru jenkem vape pen + micro USB with the audio

 

a VK band having a money milking idea shortage is kinda surprising u know

Well, iirc they were selling Sogai merch even though the tour was cancelled.
I guess money milking doesn't associate with their "painful darkness of inner world and hate tempo"

Kaoru sisT have you considered a more expensive deluxe CD type for your.... summer single?.. with one extra track instead of a zillion pointless portions??

Nah, they already have Pia MM Arena special package edition, or whatever the full name is.

That's a second time this week I hear about Anna Varney in context with DEG.
Now I definitely need to check her

B-sides will happen again when they finally do full on Bald Kei. Not just Kyo.

I mean if lynch spontaneously released a 3 track single after stopping doing singles for several album cycles why wouldn't these heffas spare us some tunes? I can always hope :')

Considering lynch had no releases in 2019, I just think like they were so blueballed that releasing Ultima wasn't enough for them. 

EDIT.
Also, several album cycles? They had Blood Thirsty Creature before XIII...

The kasumi single had a proper b-side too, I’m talking about fukai

17 years ago 😕
Then they started putting a lot of live songs.
Then re-recordings/acoustics, which we still have now.

So, I don't even know why you expect having another new song as a b-side.

saku/machiavellism?.. I kinda count hydra 666 too, but that's one of the few remakes I actually liked so idk

Ah. Good times when they were pumping out music ad nauseum.
But yeah. To be honest, I was expecting one-song single, since it was planned as digital.
But now they'll be a physical edition as well, so they could have put more effort, yep.

I'm, like, sure the new clever sleazoid will improve on the album version, but can we pleawse get proper b-sides again? like hello?

 

it's a thirteen year old single that only had its momentum for like this long, most of it on the visual shock value on top of that.

When did we had a proper b-side? 

Why couldn't they do "concert from home" like Mucc and others did 😕 It would be more interesting than audiostream.
And that DVD part... you literally give us same songs that were on TWOM's DVD.
On the other hand, I'm very intrigued about that Clever Sleazoid remake.

The first thing on my mind is; why digital release? Is it because of COVID-19, they don't think people can order CD's or is it because of they didn't plan on releasing this song as a single but "the situation with cancelled tour etc" made it possible to get some cash in worldwide?

 

I hope the format is the same as before, if they only release 1-track single it's pretty pointless really. I expect B-side and no live version thanks. 

Maybe label can't organize mass CD release?

Although, they could have added some footage from last year tour as a deluxe bonus

I hope I'll->Zan was addressed to Shinya.

NEW DIGITAL SINGLE THIS SUMMER

Kyo trolled us

Yeah, kinda messy, but we urgently need someone in that weird band who openly acknowledges their VK stuff is quintessential for them and the whole Japanese rock scene altogether. #GauzeToo 

Shinya doesn't want to age, so he's recapturing lost youth by pushing VK stuff

Kaoru's setlist is pretty traditional, imo.

Toshiya's.... fucking moodswing. Zan->Zakuro for an encore? Really?

Die had the best setlist for the real concert. Sense of flow, pretty energetic playlist. Tsumi to Batsu->Ranunculus still bothers, tho. But it's not that bad.

Shinya... I guess I just don't like their visual stuff that much. But the bigger problem is that there is no flow. He just picked songs where he likes to bang (Uroko, Berry, Umbrella). I dunno, feel pretty wtf.

May somebody post Shinya's shuffle here?

I mean yeah but they reused some of its tracks on EU (?) issue of something later, an album or some shit, while avoiding including the title track anywhere else

Oh yeah. I think they added all DSS-era re-recordings?

EDIT.
https://www.discogs.com/DIR-EN-GREY-The-Unraveling-/release/4653940
... So no Rasetsukoku, but they've added Undecided? Strange choice.

unraveling didn't get an album release either.

Unraveling was its own beast (EP instead of single).

Shinya can't organize fluent setlists. WTF was that? So he gives us new Obscure and Uroko, but then spam with visual stuff?
