Loving the Misaruka hate here lmao
 
I do kinda like their song 'Jester' though.
 
Why do people hate on them so much anyways?

tldr, they're a bootleg ripoff of Versailles, their music sucks, who wants to like a band that threatens their fans with disbandment if they don't come to their lives/buy this many copies of their shit???...
 
oh, and it's called an opinion.

honest question, am i the only one who thinks part of this hiatus is mea's way of doing like lycaon or alice nine & trying to get out of their label? i mean that's 100% just me with a tinfoil hat jumping to conclusions w/o anything to back it but i dunno, it seems possible to me.

Also for the record i'm i guess one of the other naitomea fans on here; my favourite stuff all comes either from anima or before ultimate circus but i never had a moment or a certain release where i lost interest. World Ruler thru their self-titled is probably my least favourite part of their catalogue but their ballad game was always strong.

Glad to meet a another NIGHTMARE fan, once again I'm totally agree with you and I'm not really surprise about Avex don't allow them to take break much early when in 2015 Hitsugi had a herniated disc their management don't gave him rest and calm for he can recover good about that

As someone who has spent a day watching every NIGHTMARE live in chronological order, I can tell you this:
2003: Yomi had no control/vocal technique, he was shaky 
2004: Still shaky but you could tell he'd begun to find a technique that worked for him
2005-2008: He seemed to have his vocals very clean, really nice vibrato and amazing falsetto
2009 (There best performance, that being Majestical Parade tour final at Budokan): Yomi performed his best here, just listen to his voice in Wasurena Kusa and Melody (that unplugged melody was simply beautiful)
2010 pre Makuhari Messe: His voice had harshned a tad, but was still good.
2010 Makuhari performance: Yomi lost control over his voice a little, a few signs of wear (This shouldve been the beginning of hiatus period. Thanks Avex)
2012: Yomi had a harsher voice than usual, but still delivered great at Budokan (Suna was phenomenal)
2013-2014: First signs of his voice condition worsening, lots of voice cracks, nasally vocals (Kyokutou Ranshin Tengoku and HATE were poorly performed at Nakano Sun Plaza, DIRTY was awful at Tokyo Inter. Forum Hall A)
2015-2016 (hiatus period) Shit had hit the fan for YOMI unfortunately, his voice was uncontrollable (Love Tripper at the Awakening of Clowns final at Toyosu Pit was a struggle for YOMI, his falsetto attempts just turned to breathy vocals)
 
In short, NIGHTMARE were really good up to 2009, but shouldve gone on hiatus around 2010/2011 after their Makuhari Messe Performance, it was cruel for Avex to keep churning out their later material.

I'm agree with u I really like his distinctive voice, his vocal range and his falsetto range is very calm and controlled past that point not like many vk singers but you can't deny since 2013 his voice has begun to deteriorate in quality, becoming much more nasal and fragile.
I don't know if you watched their pre-hiatus live NIGHTMARE Final "Not The End" I really had pity for him because in some songs he sung out of tune or had problems for reach high notes

This was basically my reaction to this. Regardless, this project still has potential.

Like I said is only a rumor and I don't think one day we will have a response about Sakito and Hitsugi drama, I'm totally agree with u for what u said about Yomi condition but I think before he takes this decision he go see a doctor for have a medical advice for know if he can be able for sing.

Romance of Scarlet would have been obviously the superior choice (Feminism merely shines due to its variety but production values suck) due to its stellar production/mixing value but I don't think anyone could find 1994 edition anymore though. Not to mention even Yahoo Auctions don't have any copies up for bidding or so?

Huh? Romance of Scarlet was on EMI. You'll probably need a shopping service to get it which sucks, but it's certainly not rare and it's not that expensive. I did a quick search and found some yahoo auction listings and there's copies on amazon.

CANDY, Ya-Ya-Ya and Rock N Roll are some of my favourite Kuroyume songs which makes me think I might be better off buying CORKSCREW 

as a diehard-hardcore fan of kuroyume, it's not even a question for me to decide whether to buy this or that, my friend  
 
id choose poverty for a month if that's what it takes !
 
(i am exaggerating)

I like both, but CORKSCREW is more fun and more memorable, IMO. It might just be because CORKSCREW was the first Kuroyume album I listened to all the way through, but I find myself going back to those songs much more often. CANDY, Ya-Ya-Ya! and Hello, CP Isolation always make me smile.

If it were up to me, I'd look for one of their early VHS's and buy that, since it's hard to find good rips of their early PVs on youtube (The only good rip I can find is Juujika Tono Tawamure)
But if I had to choose between those two, I'd buy Corkscrew, because one of my personal favourites, "Rock And Roll", is on that. I mean, it's a raw Punk song with the chorus referring to a David Bowie song (Rock And Roll Suicide, except it's been changed to Suicide Rock And Roll)

Okay so to other guys who suggested Romance of Scarlet: it's totes great, yes, but let's consider OP's funds for that matter:
 
> It's not that easy nor cheap to get the first press edition of RoS with "Autism" - other editions have no signs of that song, which is a damn shame, considering how stellar it is truly.
 
As for those two albums, I would go with CORKSCREW due to its more cohesive content where Drug Treatment kinda fails imho. I did not feel that the latter particularly had any "scope" to begin with, albeit having a good jam or two.

My heart is more set on Corkscrew atm because it's cheaper and because I feel I'd enjoy the "punky" side to it. Thank you for the response

....both? 

As people already said, Drug Treatment has LIKE @ ANGEL which is one of the best Kuroyume songs everrr... but if it were up to me personally, I'd choose CORKSCREW. Lots of catchy (albeit simplistic) punky numbers, it's a breeze to listen to. It also carries lots of sentimental value for me, because it was the very first Kiyoharu-related album I ever listened to... and oh boy, did I listen to it religiously a dozen times! xD Good stuff, tho now that I'm familiar with Kuroyume's discography, I'd hardly rank it among their best. But still, it's better for me than Drug Treatment.

just buy all the rights to Kuroyume on yahoo auctions

Theyre both shit, but Drug Treatment at least has 'Like@Angel.'
 
Buy Nakigara o... or Mayoeru Yuritachi.
