I 'see' what you did there.

I'll keep my eye on them

I, too, remember when Toshi dove into the crowd to stop a fan from filming at a concert.

The sad thing is it's not "they", it's just fucking Yoshiki. 
 
That's his new full name now: Fucking Yoshiki. 

Christ, it's like he did a quick "what is Canada known for" Google search before answering. 
 
Thanks, Yoshers. Cant wait to visit Japan. Heard you have great sushi and geishas. 

March 3rd of what year?

Hey guys, YOSHIKI's doctor here. He's got a real bad hernia, so we're gonna need to push that release date to 2018.

Even if that was true, another accident could happen and the release date would be pushed back again. lmao

SCAPEGOAT new maxi single "昏睡(konsui)" will be released at 2017/07/12

Well whoop-de-doo Basil!
Ironic how the cover is just Yoshiki standing below the word "We" - must mean him and his ego.

lol that's Ryutaro

It's no secret that I fawn over everything Wagakki-Band has done. Let it be known that I also encourage musicians to have side projects and fully express their creative tendencies. But given the timing of it all, I could be forgiven for viewing Yuko Suzuhana's solo career as a power play. My gut reaction was that Wagakki-Band was still too young of a band for her to tire of the traditional aesthetic - even considering her past activities with Hanafugetsu - and deduced that CRADLE OF ETERNITY would break from the aforementioned aesthetic completely. I never doubted Suzuhana's vocal excellence, and she sounds beautiful on every song. But without the traditional bend to her music, something different but equally as compelling has to take its place. CRADLE OF ETERNITY is too safe; a cold, calculated, manufactured slice of unoffensive corporate pop that doesn't stand out.
 
There's a lot of competition in the pop scene. If you want to make it, you have to stand out. At one point in time, Jun Togawa, Shiina Ringo, and most recently Seiko Oomori have broken into the mainstream by bucking the trend, but remaining accessible. CRADLE OF ETERNITY  does the complete opposite; it's musically excellent but devoid of spice. There's no excitement, no surprises, and the album plods along at the same pace for ten tracks. At the end there's a piano solo of lead track "永世のクレイドル" and an even slower version of "Remains" - the most interesting songs on the album - because what the album needed to do was go even slower. There was plenty of room for experimentation with darkwave, electronic, the traditional influence she is purposefully shunning, or even classic rock, but CRADLE OF ETERNITY settles for only the safest brand of pop. It's shallow and one-dimensional, if not superficially pretty all the way through, and that's about it.  
 
I want to like the release more based purely on who is involved and how good she can be at her best, but CRADLE OF ETERNITY does Yuko Suzuhana no justice. She needs more than tracks that sound like generic anime openers on Prozac. This is a modest start to a solo career that won't take off until the music direction changes. At the very least, it's money for her and I'm happy about that. For me, it's the newest entry to the pile of music that I'll forget about soon.

Welcome to MH! Glad to see you're open-minded when it comes genres. There's too much good music out there to put limitations on it.

Hi, I'm Kae.
 
I hate introductions, because I never know what to say. Do you say too much? Too little? What's a healthy middle? Ugh! See! It's much too stressful.
 
Anywho, I'm a fan of many genres. If it sounds good and I like it, I will listen to it. That simple. 
 
I hope to get to know lots of other music fans here and join in on the community. So, this is my first post of hopefully many and my official hello.
