I'm only on the 5th track but I hate everything so far. Also I like how they're trying to make a statement with the title of the first track. Still need to listen to the rest, but I don't see myself "changing."

PV is too short to form an opinion but sounds legit so far. I hope that awful sound quality is just it being a shit quality video post though. If that's the actual song then it sucks ass.

Surprised no one mentioned Ojamashimasu by Mamireta yet.

Just saw this on Twitter, this really sucks. I hope this doesn't affect the quality of what they have been putting out recently. Visual-kei bands really suck ass when it comes to staying together, wish it wasn't treated like a part-time job. Obviously the industry works differently but still it's really annoying.

Yoshiki has ascended above and beyond meme level status. He just keeps on giving.

I'd rather talk about the ones that deserve it.

They were cool, but holy shit, cringey weeb fans galore.... What would you expect when a Japanese band come here though I guess? Like I swear to god, half these people have never been to a gig before, was the same when Dir played, everyone over-reacting like a bunch of babies at their first disco. Here's how it goes:

Ruki: "wooo" - *crowd* "omggggggggggfuckingyesamazingcantcontrolmyseljlkfhfjhfhffff"

*Ruki gets a plastic bottle and sprays water on crowd* - *crowd* "omgfukknwoorterrrrrrrromgholyamazinggodlikefucknidhfjlhiuueeiiiii"

*Reita does gun fingers for like a second* - *crowd* "omggunfingaaazsocoolitsawsummmffffzziu"

*literally nothing happens during the encore* - *crowd starts cheering like the cure to cancer has just been discovered* - *random roadie walks out* LOOOOOOL. haha.

 

Seriously, I love the bands and the music but the crowd at these gigs are always so horrendously cringe and immature, I'm debating whether to even bother seeing Japanese bands anymore, specially when you have to watch the gig through peoples phones because there are so bloody many blocking your view you can't see shit anyway.

The fans didn't bother me really, if anything the screaming is good because they need to be shown that we want them to come back. Japanese fans are just as bad anyway.

But the phones, jesus fucking christ. Every single gig I go to there's morons holding their arms up like orangutans filming a shitty crusty video they're never going to watch again. The band are LITERALLY RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM. It's unfair for people who actually want to watch the show with their own eyes. It's already hard enough at concerts with tall people, so the phones make it worse. I forced myself in front of a guy towards the end because I just couldn't see because of his disgusting arm.

When I went to see Jack White in London he had a service he uses on tour where you're made to put your phone in a tiny bag that you can only unlock by leaving the room or at the end of the concert. I wish this was compulsory at every show. Just saying "photography/filming forbidden" isn't enough, and they don't enforce it when the show starts anyway. The ability to film needs to literally be taken away from them.

Yoshiki so I can see what he actually does all day cuz it's clearly not writing that album.

The gig in London last night was amazing. Super solid set, both the music and vocals were orgasmic.

Thanks for the Kanji, haven't been able to find anywhere. Will try to translate this week if no one else does beforehand.

So it's confirmed, DIMLIM is better than your favourite band.

10/10

Kyo sounds so ridiculous but I love it, can't wait for the album.

Sorry for being a basic bitch but Kyo's screams/growls here are just too good.

Lol holy shit that song is insane. Has a completely different vibe from their previous stuff. Not sure if I like it as much but I still enjoyed the track. Experimental as hell. The song name can mean vulgar or disorderly/chaotic. Definitely feeling the latter.

Looking forward to hearing what else the album has to offer.

Gets boring working so hard on the same thing for so long, guess he needed a break to get those creative juices flowing again.

Oh wait, it's been vacation for Yoshiki since announcing the album.

Which I first pronounced as 'nought point one gram.'

How much botox has he had? His face doesn't move.

This is a real step back, it sounds so generic. Feels like they've lost their sound.

Will try to post a translation of Keiya's long ass message today if I get time and if no one else does.

RIP, glad I got to see them in Japan while they were still around.

It's ridiculous how good Chedoara is, everything is so cohesive, the music and vocals complement each other so well. And I like the SE, they're experimental but not in a shit way IMO. Like they're actually trying to go for something.

And I agree with what @Saishu said, it's one of those albums best listened to whole.

Beat me to it, there's a bunch of references in there that I wouldn't have gotten though. Nice job, thanks!

Koichi looks like the presenter of a wacky kid's TV show.

Damn, this song is so good. Someone posted the Japanese lyrics on the music video on YouTube so I went ahead and wrote up the romaji and an English translation.

The original lyrics are quite vague and conceptual as is the case with Japanese but I did my best to lace everything together.

Any feedback/suggestions welcome!
