NightFall

They needed this hiatus, I hope they will return at some point though.
They definitely need to break their contract and find a new label if they have that much trouble with the current one

Tsubasa participate in the session band of Show (Ex-VAASTU) 

also Issei already found a place in a sessin of ex アヴァンチック Gt. rei
 
 

Not overly surprised by Issei's departure, and I don't really care about that, however I'm shocked by Tsubasa also leaving.
Like other people have said, I think DIMLIM can move on from this and become an even better band. And if not, I really hope Sho is able to find a band where his talents continue to truly shine.
Ryuya did compose track 4 (MASSACRE) from the ltd edition of VARIOUS. If he is able to keep up that level of composition, as well as improve over time, I think they could release some more really good tracks. Of course, that's assuming he composed that song all by himself, which I am not sure is the case.

Support members for the next lives :
 
2017.11.20 ==> 2017.11.24 : Ba. RUCY (Jupiter) 
2017.11.20 ==> 2017.11.23 : Dr. Hibiki (A Ghost of Flare / SEVER BLACK PARANOIA)
2017.11. 24 ==> Dr.Aki (ex.Another Story)

That was fast... Karma's a bitch, eh?
 

Tsubasa was a good bassist, I hope i see him in the future in a another band.
All songs are composed by Issei. Who is composing the songs now?

I love DIMLIM. Also the best new band of 2017 to me.
I’ve seen them live and they were great.
I never really cared about Issei (and even less after the meme drama),
but I do really like Tsubasa (and the others) and fear for the band’s future now.
 
Tsubasa’s reason for departing is not clear to me though...
Anyone able to clarify?

I'm liking these guys more and more. They get better with every release. I have a good feeling about this new single.

That's what I understand as well; Rynk plays a child, and the other members are all friends he imagined up.
This is a quick translation of the band's bio webpage (http://gri-moire.com/biography/):
- The Four shadows of light -
- They are “My” creation -
- It is an illusionary reality -
- This is “My” story -
- You are seeing “My” dream -
So I think the covering his eyes represents that every thing around him is not real, and is part of his dream.
 
As for the "Let us eat the fruits of fate", I think it's a reference to the metaphorical nature of fruit in Christianity. Fate is a predetermined outcome dictated by an omniscient force (such as God), so perhaps eating the fruits of fate would allow one to change their fate - which I think would fit into the boy creating his own reality in a dream. I'm really not sure about the relation between fruits and the bible though, so I could be way off with my interpretation.
 
Also I doubt they themselves really know what that sentence means lol

GRIMOIRE are releasing a new single on December 13th!
 

 
Title is ウラノメトリア (Uranometria) - named for the first ever atlas to record the entire celestial sphere.
カストル (Castor) ver. has two tracks (1.ウラノメトリア　2.すいそうのうみ) and a music vid for the title track: 1,800 yen.
ポルックス (Pollux) ver. has three tracks (1+2 same as other ver. 3.ハロー＆グッバイ): 1,500 yen.
 
Castor and Pollux are the names of the twins who were eventually transformed into the constellation Gemini, which makes for a cool celestial theme to the single.
 
Visuals:
 
They'll also depart on a three stop tour following the release, performing in Osaka on the 16th, Nagoya on the 17th, and Tokyo on the 26th.

My Japanese isn't that great either, but from I understand rynk plays a child that lives in a fantasy world with his imaginary friends, which are all animals (owl, wolf...). Hence why he wears that band around his eyes, maybe the reason he doesn't talk extensively.  I don't know what this "let's eat the fruits of fate"  stuff is about. 
 
It'd be great if someone with more info could add to this. Also, I love the idea for the new single. These guys always have such tight ideas for concepts.

The CDs arrived today! Anyone else got theirs yet?
 
I'm really liking this single! I've already had time to get accustomed to the title tracks, but I still really love them. Especially ii kusuri.
Alice in Underground is a pretty cool song, and I really like the breakdown section.
Nikki is a pretty solid rock song with a pretty basic formula which actually works pretty well for them. It's kinda nice to see that Tomo had a part in the lyrics for this track as well.
 
Definitely a single that lived up to the hype for me, and I'm super excited to see where Dadaroma head next musically, and how much more Yoshi can improve on vocals

UGh I just can't get over how amazing they are..... I loved both songs. The ballad was different from their usual ballads and the heavy track was amazing hehe. Love his screams<3

I think people are setting their expectations too high after one or two particularly standout songs. As an admittedly die-hard fan since the beginning, I would argue that the very aspects of their recent music that have people divided have been largely present all along. Need I remind people that two of the tracks on their very first release were soft-rock jazzy numbers? Or that the originator of the electro-dance-metal numbers was a B-side on their first single? And their continued experimentation with different styles is one of the things that keeps both their releases and live performances exciting (the same people would probably be complaining that the dramatic metalcore is getting stale if it was the same stuff every time).
 
Rant aside, I think this double-single is a further evolution of the sound DDRM is developing. Ii Kusuri is a satisfyingly dark return to that side of their discography, if a little short, and Warui Kusuri is one of their better ballads that showcases how much Yoshi is maturing as a vocalist (seriously, go back to his days in Crazy Shampoo and you'll see what I mean).

I'm really liking both of these songs. Especially ii kusuri's refrain/chorus.
I felt the MV for warui kusuri (the white song) was a bit bland though. Yoshiatsu's vocals were exactly on point though.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel a lot of people think of 溺れる魚 and 雨のワルツ type of songs with Dadaroma, but they have been experimenting with other sounds from the beginning; especially with their jazzy songs. There are still hints (sometimes very big hints) of deathcore in their latest releases, so I actually think they are going very strong. IMHO, they're getting better.

First song is meh. Second song reminded me of ame no waltz. They really are cranking out lots of music...i think they need to slow it down a little before they run into the same problems mejibray were getting into.

Those are the kanji lyrics.
 
I'm currently working on a translation, and I will post it when I am finished

Not a D.I.D fan (don't dislike them, just never really heard them), but I really like DIMLIM so far. The mini-album is actually one of my favourite purchases this year.
 
The music production could probably be a bit better, but I kinda like the roughness of it; it goes well with the composition and Sho's vocals.
And OMG Sho's vocals... They're so good!! I first heard アハレワタ, and was intrigued by the screams. I put it on the back burner though, until I heard 「初潮」 and decided I NEEDED to get the mini album
 
I still need to get the limited edition version of the mini-album for the extra songs, but so far my favourites are THE INVISIBLE and 浄土の花.

Definitely their VARIOUS is the best release in this year for me . And me too , I was attracted by アハレワタ since they dropped it on the Youtube , first time I listened to it , it just made my eyes open , and I just abused the reply button ! lol

Yo guys!
 
Been into JRock/VK for a while now, but recently been getting more immersed.
However I have no friends with which to share my excitement so I hope to find some here!!
 
My favourite bands are the GazettE, Mejibray, and Dadaroma.
Currently I'm listening to DIMLIM, and liking what I hear
