I really don't understand why you'd want Issei out. Sure he's a dick, but a competent dick. And as far as I know, no other member has shown any actual ability to write anything amazingly compelling to be able to pull what DIMLIM did with Retsu.

Mixed feelings... this album is looong. Definitely carried by the vocals but I like their vibe. The deathcore tracks get intense and the poppier ones have surprisingly catchy choruses - 受難 in particular caught my attention on YouTube because of that after the initial impression that this was just another dark screamy band. It's nice to see another vocalist on the scene with solid gutturals and cleans though, a lot of the really intense metalcore-kei bands suffer from poor or repetitive cleans imo. (Highs are a little nasal though XD) Instrumentation is nice if a little messy composition-wise at times and with occasional unnecessary elements, but a very solid and surprisingly dense release for a new band, especially considering they managed to record a whole album's worth of songs just for a run of 250 copies. Just trying to get one for myself now, it's so damn expensive lol.

Personally,this is a strange record.i like it,but at the same time it makes me confused.Even with it's flaws and dissonances,it was inspired,but again it feels like a package of good ideas badly executed. 
I'm hooked by the vocalist,and I really hope issei can chill out and find a balance in his productions or just leave it to someone else take over and make it real good,just like the DIMLIM's paradox

The last album was awful, and lately, I’ve been disliking their singer’s voice, so... it’s okay. Maybe in the future we’ll get a new 2013-DEZERT copy band with a vocalist who can actually sing.

Every song she makes sounds nostalgic or a anime opening,love her

Feels like issei just couldn't help restarting from where he left off. The similarly  with DIMLIM must be accepted,i guess 
 
Furthermore,I think it's unfair throwing too much high expectations on the vocalist, he still fresh to the scene,and that MV was a decent beginning for him

@DizzyShiori. Thx !
If nothing was said, perhaps it means that they will come back sooner than we expect, as many vk bands are used to do,sometimes the "disbandment" is just a change of name/label/concept. Well,I hope so

TENTEN looks like Tsuzuku under 8P-SB effects

Lets just be honest,If TODAY were Chiaki's solo album or his side project, everyone here would be loving it.That album was pretty decent,not a total disaster like 8P-SB...just not the mad DEZERT we know. Let's see if they plan to please the old school fans with this one

This just screams blandness. 
 
Already calling that the PV will be in tasteless 60 FPS, compensating for a lack of cinematography with shitty effects and taking place in a random warehouse #3206 (since all the other ones were used by lynch. in the past and we have to keep it slightly original).
 
...yeah and don't forget the synths, the trebliest synth samples with the lowest bitrate they can find.

now it's official,i'm absolutely in love with this mini.
loved the characteristic 90's guitar tone,and the  riffs are familiar but yet pretty original.the hypnotic and effective bass lines,
the lonely/melancholic atmosphere...even Karma's whiny vocals fits perfectly with the tight and smooth production
the piano as first and last track gave it an elegant touch just like the album artwork,i enjoyed that.
seriously,i didn't expect it to be so accessible and catchy.

Although I listen mostly vkei/jrock; I have some favorites in the Jpop space that I would totally recommend, and happen to be from the 80's and 90's. One of my favorite bands is TM Network, led by the legendary keyboardist Tetsuya Komuro and fronted by the sexy Utsunomiya Takashi, their most popular song is Get Wild, but sharing another one of my favorite songs first from their 1990 album "RHYTHM RED BEAT BLACK"  
 
 
Get wild (from 1987) for the sake of completion:
 
And another favorite of mine is access, led by the popular keyboardist Daisuke Asakura (he started as a roadie of TM network ) and he started his own unit in the early 90's, I love their concept and they're still around making great music, this is one song from a controversial trilogy of songs they released xD feel free to investigate more on it LOL, this is the second song of the trilogy called "Scandalous blue" released in 1994: 
 
 

Cool! If you're interested in exploitation movies I'd also recommend checking out a lot of her filmes. Starred in some of my all time favourite movies and movie-franchises. Female perfection!

I'd check Yutaka Ozaki too he has many beautiful songs. My favorite is 15 no Yoru it's upbeat but yet so melanchonic. It even has the "classic 80's sax solo" without resulting stale.
 

Some of my favorites. Most of em are from the 80s, but fuck it XD.
