Insanity Injection

Despite the vocals being a bit too harsh for my taste, I like Jey's clean vocals and there was barely any of it here, I think it was expected after the previous single and they are off to a good start this year. All three songs are really good and it's a very solid single. I guess they must be really fun live (the new songs).

There was a topic for Fixer?

I actually dislike the excessive screaming and prefer to go for more melodic metal, vocally speaking. Why are Jiluka becoming my favorite band and current obsession? I would love to know .___.

The greyone was re released once already. They'll make a new design instead of releasing it a third time.

I'm so proud to see my babies in so many categories <3

I'll probably still get it cause it's better than nothing.

I'm so sad about this :C I really like The Cranberries Her voice is a huge loss.

They kinda did. I wanted the gray one U.U Same as @patientZERO, I'm not convinced about this desing.

Best Overall Artist/Band: Jiluka. Everything they released this year was flawless (to me). Best Album: Acid Blood Cherry and Pantheon -Part 1- (Matenrou Opera) take the crown this year. Gotcharocka's Screamy was also really good. Best Single/Maxi-Single/EP: Jiluka - Xenomorphic. D's Orokashii Ryuu no Yume was also great and Do As Infinity released pretty solid singles. Best Cover Art: I never really pay attention to those, but Grimoire's cover art for Uranometria alone makes me want to buy it. Best Song: Ajna. Best Look: D's dragon look is what I had been waiting for since 2014. No kidding. Best Newcomer: Kizu. They are great on CDs and live. Best Veteran: D and Mucc. Best PV: I literally only saw like 3... Grimoire's PV for Frabjous Natch was entretaining to watch. Saddest Disbandment: Yusai. I had high hopes for them. Ramiel also kinda hurt, they were nice live. Most Overhyped Band: 0.1 no Gosan. They aren't that great imo. Most Overhyped Release: Virge's first mini. Everyone was going nuts about it and I found it dissapointing. Their singles were better. Aiolin didn't live up to the standards either. Most Underhyped Band: Amabo needs more love, though all their releases being live limited doesn't help them AT ALL. Most Underhyped Release: Can't think of one, really. Most Disappointing Release: Maybe Keel's Shishi... I expected more. Aiolin's releases too. Most Anticipated Release: Ajna. I actually looked at the PV several times, and I NEVER do that. I also ordered it with EMS cause I couldn't wait a month to get it. Band that Changed their Sound for the Best: Definitely D Band that Changed their Sound for the Worse: Probably NoGoD? Band that you spent most of your money on in 2017: Jiluka and D, hands down. I don't want to count to check which one eins either because I'll get depressed. What the hell were they thinking!? Award: That fairy-kei look D threw at us in may. I can't believe I have photos with them looking like that. Best Revival/Returns: I don't follow such old bands, but probably the only one I'm interested in is Mary Rue, cause You <3

I'm still mourning for the parkas.

Yaaay another Jiluka fan!! Wel come to the forum I'm sure you'll have lots of fun around here. If you need help with anything you can contact the admins or mods (anyone with red or blue names), or just about anyone in here. I hope you stick around!

Exactly. Imagine how well it could sound if the rewrote it now. Balus sounds pretty good now and Ajna only got better.

I've been watching this all day I can't stop. Help

I assume they'll include a few older tracks (hopefully remastered and re-recorded like they did with Ajna) and I'm hoping for 7 or 8 new songs. I'm so excited. I've been screaming all morning.

My wallet is already hyped. I'll post the setlist as soon as it's up somewhere.

I've ALWAYS wondered how a 20 something kid with average past bands got to start his own label as soon as Syndrome called it quits. He must have made some serious connections whike working with Kisaki. He's refused to work for PSC at least twice and he even told Avex to go shove it once... hell, he's close friends with Hajime Okano and his family. He said his (now deceased) aunt supported him a lot when he moved to Tokyo to start D and GCR. I am pretty sure his uncle is well connected and loaded. I wouldn't say D is super popular in Japan but they are quite respected in the scene, more amongs bandomen than gyas, surely.

I've checked the booklets and there's no information on who wrote each song... so we don't know how this might hurt them.

Didn't he retire from the scene?

Jiluka announced three things at the oneman today and one of those is the release of their first full album in August! They will also host their first Shusai live, that is, they host it and get to decide on the guests, on April 22nd. Their next oneman, "B birthday festival 2018" (Boogie's oneman birthday live) will be on 4/8 (Sun) at Yotsuya LOTUS. Ticket sale starts on January 20th.

I am really glad I saw them live twice. I hope they find a good guitarist and whatever Pitty does now makes him find a new motivation.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???

I hope I can keep up better than last year... I think I'm finally finished!
