BLOOD did not official disbanded. who knows Kiwamu will start it up one more time. when he finds a new vocalist.
 
yeah they did notice it themselves that it was a mistake. I even believe that oversea fans did got lesser respect for them. But I guess Japanese fans didn't really care.
What I also did notice is that their LIVE movements are way more overacting then the time before they joined SW. now days it's just a boring show with bad vocal. And not that good music. Well hopefully their upcoming album is better. The preview isn't that bad. but we shall see.
but I don't like any of their PV's. I only like the PV's of Syokudaikakkokai. All other SW PVs are boring. (wel CQ deadman's party PV is fun too) So only 3PV's are fun.  All others are just boring to watch all the same look PV's. With no story.
But also Scarlet Valse wears aristocrats. They are not that different from each other if you ask me. Just a better vocalist and other member. Still how long will this last? will they keep going on making good music? will they be drowned into boring PV's too? or mistake PV's such that MM cover?
For me Misaruka and Scarlet Valse are both sososo. almost the same bands. Misaruka is already much broken due SW. They where such more greater before their join. I hold my heart what will happen with Scarlet Valse.
 
Did you ever saw a full live of Magistina Saga?
I saw one full live video from the (SWF DVD) but she sung so out of tune. could be a bad vocal day. I don't know. But shouldn't be that awful since many METAL fans didn't walk away at female metal fest in Belgium. I'm still curious to see more however not want to spent money for that, if I'm not sure if its really good.
Synk;yet vocalist is good.. but I loved them more before their SW time. I hope they will focus more on quality the next time and not only about how they look like.

You can trust his bands they are only to stupid to believe his lies. Even if the truth has been showed in front of them.
Luzmelt, the fool both bands where fired.
Hayato left blood because he didn't like that kiwamu had only eyes for money.
Umbrella maybe fired too? Or they simply didn't want someone like kiwamu.. reason is unknown
Capella kiwamu broke them apart.some members love him..
120pun they never really joined... they used kiwamu to release album after album release they straight decided to not work with him again
Old lix who knows maybe kiwamu was also the reason.
But members always leave because of kiwamu. For exception for soundbee, yuichi left for an unknown reason, but it wasn't kiwamu. Tak left for the reason that he supported to many bands he hadn't really time for calmando qual. But people say that Daisuke is an same ass as kiwamu.

I liked Suicide Ali way back when. Their first mini was pretty good.
And I appreciate Calmando Qual for what they are. Not a bad band, just not something I'd listen to often.
The rest, don't do anything for me.

I say yes even though i don't know how active that part of the forum would be. It would be nice if people could translate interviews or add in already translated ones there.

@hiroki well simply try out every band! I'm sure there is one more or there was one more who you would enjoy

Its his birthday today

Its his birthday today

The best thing to do in this case is to leave a link to the original source so the translator gets views on their website or blog, and then quote relevant parts of the interview that people are interested in here. Something similar to what I do when I post in the Current Events thread would be ideal.
 
 
They would be useless for most members without an accompanying translation, since most of us aren't proficient at Japanese. If someone is and doesn't mind transcribing them so everyone can read them, I have no problem with it.

~you forget to tell the new single which will be released at the 22th. will be the introduction for this upcoming album
 
and tomorrow you can watch the PV and album introduction at the ABC channel again. then the hidden link can be found at the official twitter account!

I'll assume that means they're back to regular schedule?

I speak Japanese and im probably moving to there on next year or 2016 Just message me if you have any doubts about Japanese and stuff, i may try to help

For me it's to difficult to explain without photos so here ya go

Physical Music (CD`s, Tapes, Records)
Physical Videos (Blu-ray, DVD, VHS)
Other Stuff You Collect
see it yourself, you can see perfectly how my logistics are


 
Also simply 2 rows
Manga and DVD's (not music DVD, but movie)

 
Digital Music (iTunes, Google, rekochoku, downloads, etc...)
itunes download -> in itunes download folder
Other downloads -> in Legal purchased folder
Also a back up on a CD | however they are timeless available at the download websites

Physical Goods (Clothing, Obi, Posters, Cheki, Bonuses like photo`s, etc...)
Obi simply inside the CD.
Clothing in my closet with clothes on a bandshirt staple
Photos & Cheki in a big photobook
Posters I found a nice way to put them away, which I don't use

 
But not everything is stored inside my room; aka Manga and movie DVD.
They are in 2 other closets.
in one closet, stuff packed in 2 plastic boxes (only manga), and other things in just paper boxes. Also in that closet are 2 other closets which more manga and DVD and few other things are stored.
And then there is one more closet where I keep another staple of manga.
 
Summary
Best way the keep your room nicely. I like to keep my room well desinged.

Also as requested
 
This release is difficult to write down my thoughts.  to which kind music does this belong? I always forget. lol. screamo maybe? can someone tell me again?! lol 
 
It's simply something typical of the genre where this music belongs to. bit heavy, bit soft, bit electronic sound, heavy drum sound, heavy bass guitar, not much heavy guitar. all mixed together. Vocal is clean. sound also sound like bad METAL sometimes. it's just something between rock electronic and metal music. which makes also each song sound the same.  There is no cool real guitar solo, or a nice bass solo or a FETT drum solo. not real pure METAL heaviness.
Even now I still don't get this genre at all. I prefer real metal shizzel. which real metal drum and guitar.  and not just some heavy drumming which sound like "Metal" but what isn't Metal because it's to soft. But what isn't ROCK too. because it doesn't sound like "real" rock.
 
Of course you really can dance and maybe even headbang on this kind of music but I personal never ever will have the feeling that this kind of shizzel is THE SHIT ()/
 
Girugamesh is vocal strong. His vocal always fit the music whatever they make. However his way of singing in REDMAN is much greater.
I did do like Monster but this mini alum or big maxi single how you call it.. its simply boring. it doesn't sound better as Monster our any of their previous album. all their music simply sounds the damn same now. There is nothing new. there is no big surprise at all. They really should get rid of those boring "now in music". Where are the real old Visual Kei Gothic elements? Where are the real rock elements? 
Somehow it's a pity that the young people from now days like this kind of shizzel. Even if it's alright and good but it's always the same. It was cool a few years ago when it was new, but now... no thank you.
They would have balls if they would make some Gothic Electronic nu Metal screamo shizzel. lol Get the gothic back giru! otherwise they will stay boring for me.
 
This release is simply to boring for me to give ratings or opinion for each song... since to me every song sounds the damn same.
 
my own rating on my taste:
Rating without taste: Satoshi could at least sing with more feelings to make the songs sound different.

Really too bad not to have more money now, otherwise I would buy it at "closet child"

Hmv has sometimes different bonus.

Really too bad not to have more money now, otherwise I would buy it at "closet child"

There's so much wrong with that sentence and this is coming from a nu metal fan. Aside from the fact the name nu metal is a misnomer and the bands who play the music style are really playing hip hop with distortion pedals or maybe some brand of detuned grunge, unless they're Slipknot in which case they have much in common with NWOAHM (and if you really, really believe KEEP ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' is remotely metal, I feel sorry for you), Girugamesh's MUSIC has some of the most nu metally elements I've ever seen in Visual Kei (if you can even call them that after the first album) -- especially Volcano, which borrows a riff from a SOAD song.
 
Let's get some things straight.
 
If you sound like Korn, early Linkin Park, middle-era Sepultura, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park or Linkin Park, you're playing nu metal.
 
Second of all, nothing about nu metal is technically impressive aside from the massive MTV following it picked up (and maybe a few musicians who managed to carry the entire band with their skill like John Otto back in the day). And again this is coming from someone who knows all the lyrics to most of the songs on Hard to Swallow. Nu metal was a term invented by the media to describe an aesthetic that popped up involving gothic and hip hop fashion mixed with metal instruments (specifically Coal Chamber) and lots of teenaged angst and I don't think many "nu metal pioneers" consider themselves "nu metal". They usually just say hard rock. Maybe it should have been nu rock but I doubt it has as much media appeal as rock never was in danger, while metal was losing momentum at the time.
 
Third of all, detuned riffs and screaming DOES NOT equal nu metal, and neither does rapping. Run DMC's Walk This Way thing might have rapping and rock mixed together but that doesn't make it nu metal. Emmure is not nu metal, regardless of what their singer claims to take influence from. In Flames is not nu metal. King 810 is not nu metal (I don't want think of them as anything tbh). What Girugamesh is playing now (and what they originally played) is not nu metal. And above all else DJENT IS NOT NU METAL EITHER and that goes for all deep syncopated riffs running unusual time signatures you'd normally have people associating with it.
 
Fourth, screamo is a genre, not a singing style. What you're referring to as screamo is termed "harsh vocals".
 
Girugamesh play a mixture of what's popular now. As a result, they're mixing post-hardcore, Japanese pop, dubstep (which is understandable, since they've dabbled in drum-and-bass in the past), and the aforementioned syncopated chugging. They include nearly all the staple elements of post-hardcore -- clean catchy choruses and minimalist chug breakdowns with underlying electronics. Sometimes they come up with some things that are interesting. I'm not sure whether this EP does consistently. Is it up to their current quality? I guess so. Do I like it? Not much.
 
Linkin Park.

Oh you are going to make it a real legit busniss. yes then its another story.
Still would be nice to know who bought something if someone grabbed it before your nose. So that someone can contact that person to ask if that person might could share it. Then it's still up to the one, who bought it, to share it or not.
Since there are plenty under us who love to support PANDA and to help out still other people who didn't had the change to buy the real CD or Tape. (^.-)

A few things got shared before my shop started, but for personal reasons, I'm currently in the process of getting my shop registered as a legit business. Because of this, I have to do things more "by the book", which certainly doesn't include illegal things like uploading. Beyond that, some people don't want the stuff shared. If there's something really rare that's only available at the shop and someone spends... say... $40 buying it, I think it'd be pretty shitty for the shop owner to go "oh you spent all your hard-earned money on that? now I'll give it to everyone for free!". If the buyer wants to upload it, then that's great, but they own it now and it's completely up to them. As "nice" as it'd be for people who couldn't buy, I'd be lying if I said that doing such things wouldn't lose me a TON of business in the process.

DELACROIX - Re:do [MP3 320] [2014.08.27]

I never did tried this band out before. So it's my first time! my first impression of this band.

Anyway, I really don't understand this kind of new gerne music not all all.
Clean vocal with Grunting parts and a mix out of rock and brute metal.  It's really something from the last few years which is typical Japanese visual kei shizzel music. Which I normally dislike a lot. But somehow this band knows a way to mix those part pretty good to not let it overlap annoying. (As many bands do so, Gazette and Mejibray, Lycaon as example)
Also when a part of a song get boring again they break in and make the song interesting to listen again, so there is no way that I would skip any song. Only thing I maybe think is that the songs are a bit "long?"
1-3rd song, I do like them. nicely composed.
4rd song, do I hear some Marlin inspiration? totally  Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus song. (lol) However their inspiration could be done way better. more heavy and deeply. The clean vocal is a bit boring in this song. To less power inside. But it's enjoyable to listen to.
5th song starts with piano and rain sound and then turns into harder metal sound and than in cleaner rock. But for me its a song which I would skip at the next play, it somehow lacks the power I'm looking for in a band. But the composition of the song is nicely done.
6th song starts strong but they could better make this a real full grunt song. and with lesser PIG grunt voice sound. It's nothing special. and the guitar solo.. was that a solo? lol?! they better could skip this song on this album.
7th song - this start... inspirited by dir en grey, Child Pray song?. but after all this songs is just random drumming and random screaming. not something what I like.
8th song. only playing ans screaming into totally mess, it has nothing with rock nor metal to do at all. But still it doesn't get annoying.
9th song its a beautiful soft rock song melody is nothing special but least they cared to make a good song. Guitar solo is alright but nothing amazing special.
10th song again not really a song I like but composed again perfect, so easy to listen till the end.
11th song nice song but I would like it more a bit different. just bit to much random scream etc.


only a little bit to much PIG grunting but after all it's a nice release.
But I won't spent my money on this. because this kind of music is not something I really like.
But it really surprised me that there is a band who really can compose such kind of shizzel in the GOOD way that I can play it at least until the end without thinking "oh man this sound like SHIT".


Rating on own taste: it's not something what I would play yet everyday.
Rating without own taste: They are going in good direction, still need to work on better guitar. and the "Grunt" isn't perfect yet. Also the vocalist voice isn't unique at all, it's a typical visual voice. If his voice was more unique I would have enjoyed this release more. However they grow into something really good and big. they are still 5 years old so much can happen, and it would be a pity if they would break up.

But yes its a good release, but no it's not the best album of the year. But it belongs in the list of best albums of the year.
So, I'm looking forward to their next release. I'm going to follow this band somehow.

01. SE -W+D-
-A fairly typical opening SE track, features mostly electronic sounds with harsh vocal chants, this strikes me as a live-friendly intro. On it's own there isn't much to say about it but It seems fitting to picture them setting up on stage while -W+D- plays. Despite having never seen Delacroix live, I doubt this is just me. (6/10)
 
02. Misery & Apery
-One of Delacroix's previously released, popular songs. A strong opener with more or less equal parts heavy and melodic, it has been re-recorded for the album. It comes off sounding fresh even to someone who regularly listened to the original regularly. The production has been updated to match the intensity of the rest of the album. I find myself listening to this as much as the new songs on the album (7.5/10)
 
03. Gauss+
-The first new song on RE:DO. Heavier than the last with a repetitive, old school riff accompanying it throughout. It's at this point that I realize while Mitsuki's chorus melodies have always been strong, his lines during the verses are really getting some extra attention. The guy just writes his vocals differently to most VK vocalists I've heard, one of the things that attracts me to Delacroix in the first place. To me this is one of the best on RE:DO (9/10)
 
04. Nidome no Jisei
-This is perhaps the song I predict I will be most at-odds with people about. It's heavy, but with a danceable rhythm. The main riffs are appealing, but the chorus is what really stands out. There is something very off-kilter about it, like it is intentionally just barely off-key, this somehow makes it one of the most memorable songs of the year for me. It comes off sounding playful and vaguely sinister. I could easily see it not connecting with people for the same reasons, but if you ask me? (8/10)
 
05. Hai Shoku no Ame ni Omou
-Another of Delacroix previous songs, perhaps there most popular. Something of a claim to "fame". Some added harsh vocals and intensity help to ease this sizable ballad into it's new home on the more aggressive RE:DO. This is a song with nothing to complain about to begin with, I would say it hasn't been improved but also hasn't been painfully meddled with. Big, emotional, and proudly saluting the band's roots. (8/10)
 
06. Curse Crimson
-Delacroix pumps the gas with another heavy track. Unfortunately, this one seems to lose it's footing quit early on. While the first minute features some of the heaviest progression of their career, what follows is one of their weakest, flakiest choruses ever. Conveying no real feeling or inspiration to me, I will still occasionally check this song out for novelty value, but I have probably played the song beginning to end less than 5 times. (6/10)
 
07. Pathological NeoHysteria
-An older heavy song from the Mell-Moth mini album. The title is chanted repeatedly throughout the intro and main riff, shares a strange little old school charm in this way. Verses consist mainly of harsh vocals. Biggest drawback is the almost lack-of a chorus altogether. Some enjoyable clean vocals follow but mostly I peg this as a crowd-uniting live song. Not bad from either perspective, and quite well re-done. (7.5/10)
 
08. Vermillion
-We come to another remake of a b-side from last year (Misery & Apery single), in conjunction with the previous song, the album progression becomes messy and stagnant. A bit of a sinkhole of patchy heaviness and frantic riffs for a combined almost 9 minutes. Personally I was surprised that this made it on the album, I wasn't particularly excited for it as a single song anyway. There are some more strangely sinister vocals farther in, but it's somewhat difficult waiting nearly 2 minutes for something fleeting. (5.5/10)
 
09. RE:DO
-We are finally back into some new material. As well as back to something softer. A delicate and slow track which is a direct contrast to the former. This didn't capture me on a complete play, I think my music brain may have been partially numbed from tracks 6-8. On it's own, it's quite somber and almost gives a feeling of knowing that it serves as the title track for this bands' first and last album. Maybe something of a goodbye. This appeals more to existing fans of Delacroix. (7/10)
 
10. Vascular
-Bias time. This is my favorite song on the album and I have known this since the previews were first posted. The opening riffs are underwhelming. The verse trades off between examples of Mitsuki's best harsh AND clean vocals (similar to that of Gauss+) but then chorus hits and I am the rest of the way in love. Mitsuki's falsetto voice is gorgeous, this I already knew. What I didn't realize is how well he has mastered it and how well he controls it. It's easily one of the most beautiful things I've heard all year, the song is a bit repetitive which means there is no shortage of this. (10/10)
 
11. Fate of the Primary
 -Very well-rounded closing track. Heavy riffs like we have heard in most of the songs, but the song itself is much more positive and upbeat. I am sure they wanted a reassuring sound to leave us with before disbanding. This could serve well as an opening or ending. The ending part of the song is extremely emotional before going out on a familiar riff. It's not their best song, and I believe it could have been a bit longer, but it's very satisfying at the end of an awesome album. thank you Delacroix. (8.5/10)
 
Final Rating: 4.1/5 stars (how do I do this

Really? they give up after 5 years?! (-__________________________-)  
Then there is finally a band who knows how it works... and they break up... which always happens now days. I don't get why bands want to big BIG after 1-2 years. that's simply almost impossible...
IT's REALLY A PITY.


huh?? you cannot copy past? you should be able.
normally it works. Just copy your text and place it here.
Ctrl+V  or Apple+V or simply with your mouse.
 
If still not works then just place your review somewhere and place that link over here.
