Kiyoharu is God

Another lyric video this time for the song Holy Nights I actually really like this song. Catchy.

Lovely song and PV. Thank god they're back

Those albums were topped ages ago. You guys need to quit living in the past.

Have a feeling I'm really going to love this album. Really liked everything I heard in this trailer.

PV for SAJOU、MOYU。ZANZOU. Sounds great. PV is fantastic.

PV for グレージュ (GRIEGE or GREGE?). Love the song. Guitar parts are beautiful. According to Kiyo's tweet where he announced this PV, most of the album is bass-less like this track. Katsuma of coldrain is on drums. Kouichi Korenaga is on guitar. Three preview tracks from the album have been released so far for the songs: SURVIVE OF VISION, GRIEGE, and OUTSIDER. Really happy with all three.

lynch. can be way more versatile, but that mostly appears in the form of slow tracks/ ballads etc. The up-tempo stuff is very samey.

Not a bad song, but not something that stands out either. First impression is that it feels like a filler track.

Love it!

I love this band. I hope they stick around for a long ass time.

Sad/shocking to see. I really liked seeing the unity and longevity in bands like Merry and MUCC when other younger bands rotate through members like every few weeks. Anyway, I'm happy to see the band continue on. I've been very happy with their music. Even when I'm not fully on board with a release initially, I've always eventually gotten around to loving it. I think they really should seek a replacement. The duel guitars is something that I always felt was very strong in this band compared to most other bands and I can't imagine Merry without someone else in that position.

I love this album more than anything they have released up to this point. It's fantastic. May be the best thing Karma has ever released including AvelCain. It's almost like if Kuroyume released a pre-Cruel album in 2020 without it sounding ancient. Great songs, musicianship, and singing. It definitely stands on its own while recognizing it's influences in a way that's doesn't make it feel like a rip-off/parody. And I wasn't bothered by its length. I didn't even think it was short until I read the replies above this post. It feels like a punk album that doesn't overstay its welcome. Great release!

I think What' Up sounds better and less generic than anything they've released so far. However, don't really like every aspect of the song. Would be much better without the "woahs" around 2:08.

I'm going to post this here instead of creating a new thread as there is hardly any info other than an announcement and release window: https://55-69.com/news/302573 MUCC announced (on 12/28) that they will be releasing a new album this Spring. If someone wants to create a new thread with just that then go ahead. https://55-69.com/news/302515 They also released another live only single Terrace／テディベア (Terrace／TEDDY BEAR) beginning on 1/10 which was the start of their MUCC 2020 Lock on snipe Tour #10『関東型壊れたピアノとリビングデッド収監11days』tour. Unclear if it's being sold at every tour day, or if was only sold on that first day.

I like the band, but DIMLIM isn't doing anything special. And I mean special in the sense that they're one of a kind, not that they're mediocre. The music has been good. It's just that if they didn't exist you could get your fix with FIXER. Or NAZARE. Or a bunch of other bands that don't sound that different.

March 18 is the release date of the album... Or at least until they delay it as is often the case with Kiyoharu solo/band releases. It's reportedly going to feature 11 songs. I'm not entirely clear on what the DISTORTION 10 thing is exactly. I believe it's some kind of collaboration thing: I'm not sure if DISTORTION is designing all the CD jackets, but there will be at least one version (￥25,000＋TAX) that will include a special CD jacket design and PARKA. Maybe it's the one Kiyoharu is wearing in that promotional picture in the tweet. 清春『JAPANESE MENU/DISTORTION 10』 2020年3月18日（水）発売 LIMITED EDITION　PCCA-04904 / ￥4,545＋TAX REGULAR　PCCA-04905 / ￥3,000＋TAX DISTORTION ３ × KIYOHARU COLLAB DESIGN・ORIGINAL PARKA AND CD DESIGN（REGULAR）【PONY CANYON SHOPPING CLUB LIMITED RELEASE】　SCCA-00091 / ￥25,000＋TAX https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000177084#utm_source=tw_BARKS_NEWS&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tw_auto
