BlueBambi

Bless this band, really. 
 
More power to you, Mikoto. You've endured for so long with members leaving. Now, I hope Ryuya and Kagemaru stay with you for good. (✿´‿`)💕

Ba.Hiromu (ex-Emlibeur-->メリーバッドエンド (Merry Badend)) has joined Develop One's Faculties.
 
Their new album "INVERSE REVERSE" will be released at 2020/3/11.

The band got really boring since their 2016's album WELCOME TO GHOST HOTEL ...
Such a waste of talents, I really love their beginning era, CALL ME… , 少年ワルツ and ひじきとカラアゲ were solid releases.

Call me crazy but I'm more excited to see the NINTH songs more than any "treats" they might throw our way.
I'd rather be surprised. Like I wasn't expecting Cockroach in NY and that was a fucking blast. 

The band have revealed a new look !
Moreover, their guitarist 龍矢 (Ryuya)  has switched to bassist ! 
 
 

 

 

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

@darkindastad 
"It was fun. But there are still things that I have to do, my duty, my mission.
Maybe I've thrown away my life once, but I was saved by music and managed to survive.
Thats why, I don't know if I will be able to sing for the rest of the limited days I have, but thinking that I want to save people with music, I was able to go on till today.
I really mean it. I'm glad that I'm alive from the bottom of my heart, but please, let me keep singing"

But imagine this:
- They've been releasing a tonne of J-pop wannabe crap
- Koichi floods his insta with him dancing to all of it
- Promote their first album by showing us a cutesy, pink, in your face album cover
- *8P-SB.com is released*
-They've fooled us all for this amount of time and they've been working on the most br00tal album to ever exist
-Profit

Their new single 「シャーデンフロイデ」(Schadenfreude)  will be released on 2018.10.10.  (1200 yen + taxes)
 
Tracklist :
1. シャーデンフロイデ(Schadenfreude) 
2. 光(Hikari)
 

 
 

I just read chiaki's new interview on cure, it seems like this album is his answer to this question(why doing music) he kept searching for over a year.
Basically he's in existential crisis right now.
 
Here's a brief translate(Sorry for my bad English):
 
-Why name this album [Today]
Chiaki: How to get through [Today], to me its really difficult for past year. I have insomnia for over a year, can't sleep, don't wanna go out. I know there is no answer but I'm keep searching by hang out with members and go on tour(That explained why their last tour name is"Please save/help chiaki"). Sometime I get a little realization but mostly don't. So it's really difficult for me to live through everyday.
 
Although you might think:"Even though you depressed before bed, you just close your eye and today will end, right?" . The answer is no, it doesn't. Because there are no ways you can experience tomorrow, you can only live in "Today". I wanna get an answer, otherwise  there will be no inner peace in my mind. In order to move forward from this restless state, from now on I will create songs on this premise. I'm not trying to deny our past, I will still write heavy songs when I'm angry, but right now this album is my state of mind.
 
I know a lot of people will think:"wtf are you guys doing, you changed so much", I don't expect this album will reach to everybody, it would be great if I can create something everybody like, but I cant. If there is one moment in the album that can resonate some of you, for me right now, its the happiest thing ever. I expect a lot of backlash, I will take full responsibility, that's how important this album to me. 
 

Just listened the whole album on spotify,and it wouldn't be a bad album at all if that was released by
a different band,but coming from DEZERT,you don't recognize them anymore.
they always had one or two,maybe 3  poppy tracks on their releases,however
THIS time  feels like Chiaki said in the studio "oh,i think i don't wanna scream that much on this album"
 
You can only be glad that their old stuff lasted time enough to influenciate bands like
Mamireta and DAMY,cuz like it or not, they're kinda keeping that "mad" shit alive

Exactly my feelings on the album. It's quite pleasant, well-executed and easy to listen to for a chill afternoon. Which is entirely what I don't look for in a DEZERT album...

Leaderboard Like I said in the suggestions thread :
 
 
The official MH Visual Releases Calendar is ow opened !

i love yuuki's voice so much i've learned to tune out the rest of the garbage

I just looked at some videos on dystonia patients....this is fucking awful. He says he only has it on his upper right arm, but I'm scared that it may progress all over. I wish the very best for Yusuke. 
 
As for those who are saying the band needed this hiatus because "their music sucks anyway"...shame on you. This announcement was very sudden, and losing someone like Yusuke over something as devastating as this is a huge blow to the band, and this man may have to deal with this for the rest of his life. Shame on you.

I know people are going to hate me for this but the song is reaaally catchy, and Koichi dancing all so cutesy just made me smile from ear to ear. (*´・ｖ・)💕

Coming from a superfan I don't think I'm going to change any opinions here, but:
 
1) DADAROMA's style has been largely consistent since their formation with a balance of alt-rock, deathcore, 'dark pop' and jazzy numbers. People picking and choosing tracks they don't like as an argument for a change in musical direction have clearly not listened to very much of the band's work thoroughly.
 
2) Judging a new release from a 30-second clip is, and has always been, a waste of time because you can never tell what the full track will be like. Case in point from this very band, zouka to kalashnikov chose a section near the end of the song with only clean vocals for the preview, but it turned out to have brutal breakdowns and screams too.
 
TLDR, nothing so far is a 'departure' from DDRM's established style, and don't judge any music before hearing the whole thing.

Can't tell that much from that short sample really, but the riff towards the end gives me hope this one might be rather heavy during the verses.
 
Kinda sad that it has become cool to hate on these guys, they haven't even changed much at all and have always put party songs on each bigger release, the deathcore stuff has always been more of an exception among their songs. More people should check out their latest mini-album and not avoid it because of "The Kinky", it's their heaviest and most consistent release in my opinion and beats the two Dadaism minis easily.

Back to the roots please... Ive tried to get into their latest releases but I cant with these pop style songs they dont sound like a band.

Personally I play it down because my friends used to go missing in this capacity all the time and it was maybe 5-10% of the time that they were actually in trouble or caught by something out of their control... , I knew how worried to be because I knew them and their family and kinda how likely it is that they were just fucking off or if we might learn like the next day they were in jail or dead.
 
We only know KULOE under a stage name, and announcements like this are made because it's impacting their ability to fulfill obligations as a band. As a visual kei band their family and personal lives are separated from their professional lives on stage and relationship with us as fans to begin with. I'm not saying don't be worried, but there's twitter-missing and then there's police-report-missing. (from my experience we are still at the stage where he could just be being an asshole lol).
 
know that I say all that as an optimistic stance on his probable safety, I appreciate him and those looking for him.

Slated to host a show on 4/18 at Ikebukuro EDGE (w/ 万鬼隊 / type:『seeD』/ MIDGARD / 爆烈ストーム!! & others), DAYDALA announced on March 27th that they would render ticket #1 invalid due to reselling for profit.
 

This is not altogether unheard of -- tickets that have been resold have been banned from entry, but it's usually for bigger bands.
However, it seems the holder of #1 -- we'll call her S -- was a little confused by this choice.
She tweeted that she had definitely been the original purchaser of the ticket through legitimate means, and eventually posted the DMs exchanged between her and the official DAYDALA account. She was even able to provide a receipt of the purchase (these receipts do not contain the ticket number),  but they opted to offer her only a refund.
 

 
When S pressed them to provide proof that #1 was in fact resold, they posted screenshots from tanuki (this is historical -- it is an open secret that bands and management browse the board, but an official account posting screenshots of 1) a selling post and 2) a tanumail conversation is unheard of).
 
 

The listing originally posted on tanuki claims to have tickets #1-3. The chances of this poster being S are already fairly low as her receipt shows the price of one ticket. The odds of picking up #1 and #2-3 are stacked very high against her unless she juggles multiple SMS-verified accounts and somehow obtained #1 and #2-3, or is selling on behalf of a friend who was coincidentally able to purchase #2-3. More importantly though, the proof photo doesn't show #1 at all. Additionally, the source of the tanumail screenshot is also up for debate -- unless the band was trying to purchase the resold tickets themselves (something that has been done before, but generally by larger bands b/c I don't think DAYDALA could have afforded even the original 15,000y asking price), it seems they received it as a "tip" from someone else.

This really opened the floodgates -- why weren't #2 and #3 banned as well if this was the source? Why was #1 banned despite being the only one without solid evidence?

Their next step was to ban all of #1-3 but provide refunds upon further discussion with S. By this point tanuki was in an absolute frothing rage. People posting "for sale" posts for numbers 4-100 in a joking attempt to get them invalidated descended as DAYDALA thread after DAYDALA thread was created.
 

Member Haku attempted various forms of damage control on his individual twitter, but the horde was angry and wanted justice for S.
Finally, they rescinded their invalidation for all three tickets and gave a heartfelt apology.
 
Masato of meta-kei/tanuki-kei/meme-kei band kaitou sentai lined up to take a shot at DAYDALA for their slip-up:
"I was tired and sleeping forever. Good morning.
I had a dream that the #1 ticket I worked so hard to get was suddenly rendered invalid.
Hope it doesn't come true..."
