Kiyoharu is God

Longer preview

Wow, well that's surprising. And, interesting given yasu's vocal issues.

That's some weird fucking timing because it's April Fools and I thought they officially disbanded 13 years ago.

Dude should have sung into a mic in that PV to make it look less awkward. All these guys need to work on the performance part of performing. Too robotic. I was watching -OZ-'s Detox PV before watching this PV and the difference in energy of performance is like night and day. Song is alright. Kinda boring. I don't know if Hizaki wrote this, but it sounds like every Hizaki song I've ever heard. While not awful, it feels generic.

That's great. A metal vk band that doesn't literally sound like every other metal vk band... COOL.

Sucks for you 😎

Kiyoharu has been announced as being a guest on the album. He will be singing in the chorus to one (or more) of the songs. He will also appear as a guest in Morrie's 3/4 show at 東京キネマ倶楽部.

He's seems to be interested in doing everything but finishing that album. I could almost swear that he said he was thinking of doing an X Japan version (feat Toshi) of Red Swan btw, so you could add that to the album list. That would be kinda cool since that's one of the few ballads he's written that I actually like. Standing Sex is not garbage btw, get the f out of here with that. That's basically classic X. The rest of that list is forgettable however.

Loving the promotional visuals for this album

sads will be releasing a DVD+CD package of their second to last, and last one man lives (they performed a day later as part of a ROTTENGRAFTTY event).

Announced earlier in the week. Title and release date will be announced later. The plan is for a summer release. Apparently, more details will be revealed on 2/9 as he's planning to open a memorial site to celebrate his 25th anniversary on that day. There will be a cover of BOUKYAKU NO SORA inlcuded, but it sounds like that's the only track he's covering from his own (solo/kuroyume/sads) catalogue. He's moved from TRIAD to PONY CANYON. He's also planning to release an autobiography. https://kiyoharu.tokyo/info/今夏カヴァー・アルバムリリース決定！/?lang=en

Looks like it's releasing on 3/4.

New album out in may. Feels like a really early announcement, but nice to know it's coming.

Based on the samples released so far, this is shaping up to be his worst album. Everything is annoyingly loud shallow party music. I thought he would be over this style by now. This is gonna be like the 5th album in a row that sounds like this?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BpX1gbQgQLg/ Not much details to go on other than it's coming out on 12/5. And, there appears to be that two versions are planned. Both a regular edition and an LE with a DVD containing concert footage from DAY2 held at Zepp Tokyo on 4/12/2018. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TYCT-60126?s_ssid=e4546d5bd74ec9fc0e http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TYCT-69137?s_ssid=e4546d5bd74ec9fc0e

With the release of this album they'll have more best of album releases than actual original studio albums.

All too well. This week I've been converting my INORAN stuff to flac, while also listening entirely through the albums. My god... It's difficult to listen to anything post maybe Nirai Kanai and be remotely interested. The first two albums were especially magical. As for this HYDE song... As usual HYDE's singing is nice, but the song is super generic. Wish he would leave that sound to VAMPS (whenever they return) and do something different now.

The only track is strongly hate is UTAFUMI, which is surprising because it's like my second favorite single of theirs... Of their entire discography. That's how much I love that single. I appreciate the raw-er vocals, but why does it sound like a live demo recorded on a phone, then someone broadcasted it on radio, and what was put on CD was a phone recording uploaded to youtube of the radio broadcast. It sounds really fucking weird compared to everything on the album.

I really like the song ::shrug:: Nice Sugizo solo too

That song sounds great. Hopefully the rest of the song has that tempo/feel instead the usual explosive-growling-noise leading to slow chorus thing they've been doing for a long while. I also really liked the previous two singles. ::shrug::

Oh hell yeah! Full revival please!

I really loved both these songs. It's exactly what I want from BAROQUE.

They keep getting better. That sounds great.

I got on the Lycoan bandwagon really late (like in the past two months), and imo opinion they are one of the best younger bands out there. Alot of the music I've heard is a lot of classic rock n roll instead of that numetal shit that most VK bands are doing these days where the guitar tone and riffs all sound the same. So I'm rooting for these guys, but I'm not feeling that single nor the visuals. Hopefully the next release is better in both aspects.

I liked their last single Don't be Afraid. Not sure why people are still going on about Wings Flap. They followed that up with something better. I'm assuming because they enjoy being in the band, but if not then them scheduling two shows at the TOKYO DOME explains it. HYDE is popular, but I don't think he's going to pull off any shows of that size alone. Neither is ken.
