  1. Member leaves band  after 23 years and retires from music and instead of people lamenting that it's just a bunch of shit posts trashing him and the band. I don't get it... Well, actually I kinda do since some of you are a gimmick/act at this point. Just way too damn negative. 

     

    Anyway... Surreal news because I was listening to their earlier stuff like 2 days ago and looking at their earlier photo shoots and those really young pics of them in the AISHUU booklet and thought to myself holy shit these guys have longevity.  I was appreciating how they've stuck together over the years and then I wake up to this news today. What a coincidence.

     

    2020 has been wild between Kenichi leaving Merry, Ryo leaving Baroque and retiring from music, and now this latest succession and retirement... Like, what is he going to do now? I'm surprised he's leaving music entirely.

    He composed some pretty great songs: KINSENKA, NUKEGARA, MEDIA NO JUUSEI, REQUIEM, MAE E, HOTARU etc...

  3. Man... What the hell was that?

     

    His solo output was solid ~ really good up to 2008. The '90s trip-hop stuff was excellent. Everything after the '08 best of album has been... Bad. He insists on using English for some reason while he hasn't shown much improvement in that area in terms of pronunciation. So neither English nor Japanese speaking fans can understand him. And the music in this track is just the most generic/bland butt rock... It's like something you would hear in an ad for Appelebees or Lowe's.

    Ryo is retiring from music. So, Kei has decided to suspend the band activities. They are cancelling all remaining dates of their 「BAROQUE TOUR SAINTS OR SINNERS」 tour. There's a lengthy message from Ryo detailing his reasons for retiring. It seems to be that he's both tired physically and mentally of performing. If someone wants to get into more detail go ahead.

     

    This is a major bummer as he's become one of my favorite vocalists since giving BAROQUE a shot a few years ago. I've loved their music.

     

    In other news, Kei announced a new solo album last week so he'll be continuing as a musician.

     

     


  5. Yeah that's a good line up.

     

    Weird video though... I was hearing Black Market Blues and thinking to myself holy crap I never noticed how close the vocalist of a flood of circle sounds to Takuro. And then THE BACK HORN one didn't make sense either. And it wasn't until チャラン・ポ・ランタン popped up that I realized they were just playing the band's old recordings alongside the artist images rather than the covers. lol

    Read the tracklist and back to me again.

    I don't get it, what's your point? That's an album. By definition. You're free to complain that you would rather have an entire album of original compositions, but you can't pretend that this isn't an album because it has covers.

     

    Btw, I didn't mention earlier that I'm excited about this release.  I listen to all those musicians/acts regularly except for  Pay money To my Pain (guess I'll give them another look) so this release will be extra neat.


  7. Saw the title and became really excited & happy. Clicked the thread to be met with mild disappointment.  Just a little  because of no Kouichi who I miss being active, but the news is still awesome.  The live footage in the tweet is really good.  Yow-May still sounds great and the band sounds great as well.


  8. What's wrong with this song? How is it different from the previous release?

     

    Like I could tell the difference between something off ZEKU compared to KARMA or Houyoku compared to Kyutai as those albums have distinctly different sounds. But how is this song so radically different from the last album they released?

    Probably his worst to date?

    It's probably my favorite album since the self titled (2013) mainly because of the covers and the title track. I haven't been a fan of his other more recent releases but this one was ok.

    Really?

    LUNA SEA has announced that it will complete a new song "Make a vow" and will distribute it for free. Prior to distribution, it will be released to members of the official fan club, SLAVE.

    On Twitter, SUGIZO (G, Violin) responded to the spread of new coronavirus infection and the postponement of their performance. I decided to deliver it for free. " RYUICHI (Vo) also wrote on his blog, "I will convey my current feelings from LUNA SEA" "There is one feeling that is connected to everyone at any time," says Shinya (Dr) "Listen to this, I would be really happy if everyone was healed a little, "he wrote on Instagram.
