I like the bands name and what it apparently represents,and nice to see Mei back with the Ai name as well, it almost feels like seeing memento mori being resurrected right before my eyes, never thought it would ever happen. Yokusou had a huge impact on me the first time I listened,because it was different from what memento used to deliver.With so many good musicians involved,I wonder what they gonna bring to the table this time,if it's going to sound like something off KTK discography,MM,or something completely new.

that was just a complete meal.

clean production,cool intro,awesome growls,bombastic chorus,great solo,an emotional video

but i gotta agree with @yomii . i feel like MIO is going too far with his clean singing

but the rest...god they are already miles away from some metal bands that have been on the road for more than a decade.

ok,nice.but they are a japanese metal band in first place,not kpop idols

ok

man,this single is going to DESTROY us all. i feel like CHEDOARA was just the beginning

look at all the hype they built around it,announcing the single months before,the new looks one by one

this will probably go beyond AIJOU NI TSUKI ,SHIGARAMI and VANITAS,and we never imagined that none of these 3 songs/mv's i just mentioned would sound as good as they are.

it would be a cool thing,seeing Daiki working for both bands

he seems to be a very nice person and a good frontman as well

some of the albums i've been listening to lately

Detriti records is a German label (if i'm not wrong) they have some really interesting releases

 if you've been looking for some fresh stuff related to dark synthpop/coldwave/post-punk

highly recommend these tracks.

god this is probably how Ian Curtis would sound like

if he had survived time enough to form his own dark synthpop  project

This one below is the side project from the vocalist of the spanish and phenomenal post-punk band Belgrado

really cool shit,the beats are hypnotic and cold,with her robotic and smooth vocals floating around

this band is so incredible that only their LOOKS gives you the excitement of some new song preview or stuff like that
SHO's gonna KILL it fuckin hard,just breathtaking. uff

What the fuck I just saw/heard 

Just noticed that their last new MV is reaching half million views,they seem to be blowing up on the internet and getting the recognition they deserve.After losing two important members, they did an amazing job. It's bad to see their schedules being compromised,but in other hand I don't even care,the album is near and revealing 3 tracks before it's release would be giving too much.I prefer seeing the MV's after the album comes out

Wished the production had more balls and the vocalist had a bit more "distinct" voice.But a liked the early-gossip similarity in the track and the cheap but cool look,I see potential

(Edit: that drumming was really nice)

Already dropped them, however is such a waste to see Yoshiatsu stuck in this clown-kei shit concept,cuz he's an unique character in the vk scene.his cleans and his growls both are flawless. He should be doing shit like NAZARE/DIMLIM and not that.

That sounds like a "telephone version" of Ojamashimasu,but not as catchy,of course.I liked the tight and heavy production,it doesn't sound sloppy like the last tracks, something happened again. However,Batsu's screams ruined it,imo,he desperately needs a vocal coach to learn how to scream "properly" and extend his capacity,but the track is an improvement after all.

Man, it's fuckin Seiya.Any doubt that it's gonna be awesome? Brutally hyped.

(Edit: Hope they bring one more insane vocalist. After keisuke we had SHO and right after we had MIO,all of these bands are somehow connected ,so something really interesting is coming)

Man,the whole instrumentation of this band is absolutely BRILLIANT,those guys deserve to be applaused.But...Karma,why?His vocals... something is just "off" to me.That chorus was damn catchy again, but please improve your vocals.

 the only good thing about this single is going to be the re recording of 遊郭-再構築 (Yukaku). Waiting for the re recording of Kogarashi and Jubaku Ai. The classics are the classics.

I'm still a "baby" when it comes to black metal (just one year and half into this amazing subgenre), and already became my favorite subgenre of metal along with VK. Talking about darkthrone, I've been getting into each album , starting from the first one ,very carefully,and right now im into "the cult is alive" . Transylvanian,funeral moon and northern sky are the holy Trinity of their discography,after these three albums i felt kinda lost with what kind of concept they were trying to present. However,I always visit their albums whenever I'm looking for some "straightforward metal" (Panzerfaust is simply glorious). Ready to get into the rest of their discography until the new record is out,I'll buy this.

The best part of the interview was the end,where kikyo says that the fans don't need to worry about the band changing it's 90's concept. Hope they last for at least more five years

Kyouki's voice was mixed very polished,and I think every track is going to be catchy.Still Grieva to me.

Man, listening to this with just one thought in mind: We need a re record of the marrow of a bone now!! 

When an EP is really good,one minute is more than enough to realize it. His voice always impresses me,is so classy,plus this Sukekiyo vibe that is always present along with the black metal influence. Man,I can't believe this band exists,we need more like them.

At least for me,after their compilation album they became one of the biggest deceptions in the current vk scene,cuz I really thought that they would be some nice fusion between kuroyuri to kage and Gossip,but now my expectations are very low.And his screams,God I hate them.

@lichtlune  Sorry,but seriously that you revived this dead topic just to say that? And no news ,no nothing? I think if you were truly interested you'd realize by his post on his personal accounts that he's preparing something.

I commented without realizing the new MV lol. They sound like a totally different band,and that MV ruined the whole experience.dunno what to think

Honestly I like the cover,and the logo reminds me some anime logo about detectives lol
