Jaki has confirmed that the tour final (& his last live with the band) is on 11/20 at Shibuya club Asia
 
 

Jaki was the main reason I loved this band. I definitely am seeing them perform in June then regardless of how far I have to take the damn train D:..damnit

been a while since there was a face to the name 

Still have to bring this one UP! Like literally wtf, this is so beautiful and amazing. Thank you.

At La'veil Mizeria's first live of their 47-prefecture tour on 3/14, Gt.邪鬼 (Jaki) has announced that he will depart from the band after their tour final (date currently unknown).
 
 

The "help" still seems to support him tho. Idk what the tweet is about tho.
 
 

Hmm.

Occasional obsessions between the years:
 
愛狂います
キス＆ネイト
新興宗教楽団NoGoD

After ventured in to the abyss nowadays i "pretty much only" listen to kote-kei, or bands with a "darker atmosphere".

First time showing myself
I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan but I like this shirt

Perhaps someone else already pointed it out; I just noticed the similiarities in these songs. They don't sound exactly the same but I perceived Daraku /DARK･STAR by MARRY+AN+BLOOD was inspired by Sora ga ochiru ano hi by Lamiel.
 
lamiel - 空が堕ちるアノ日
 
 
Marry+An+Blood - Daraku /DARK･STAR

After hearing the new Kiryu song recycle a certain Mi'ze:lia song, I wanted to kind of talk about one of the bands that Kiryu seemed to have really taken a few bits of influence from. Cuartet.
I've been listening to these guys and their contemporaries a lot, and I've noticed a few interesting things.
First off is their song "Koibumi". This at first seems like your run-of-the-mill attempt at an Akuro no Oka, and it is, but it also seems to have been combined with Aoi Haru by Gill'e Cadith. The beach they filmed the PV on was also used some music videos by other band. Most notably, the GazettE, whom at the time were kind of brother-bands with Cuartet. 
The song later inspired Tsukubai by Kiryu. Mahiro even tried to emulate Saki's wailing and screaming at the end. Only, Kiryu's version is much more metal. Why did Kiryu decide to tribute Cuartet? I have no idea why, other than the fact that Mahiro probably is friends with the members. There are setlists with LutenA and Koroshi (Mahiro's first band, and Cuartet's first era, respectively) preforming together that I've found here and there. Mahiro is also a former Luciffer's Record artist, and while Cuartet wasn't on Luciffer's Record, the owner of the record label, Yuuga from Devil Kitty, was closely associated with Cuartet's label, Climax Enteprise. As a result, Curse and Mareli (2 of Mahiro's bands) appeared on 2 omnibuses with Cuartet (edit: for sine reason I originally put Gill'e Cadith here? I really should proofread more). 
One of Mitsuki and Takemasa's earliest bands, Mi'ze:lia, was on Sequence Records, whose owner, Tomozo, was close friends with guitarist AIKA of Cuartet, having played in Black:List and Triggah, and AIKA still being a close associate of Tomozo's current label, Dual Core Sound Enterprise. So it's safe to say, Kiryu and Cuartet's members probably were friends, or at least aquainted with eachother, and bounced ideas off eachother.  
Another thing Cuartet liked to do is use a lot of traditional Japanese aesthetics in some of their looks. Most notably, Sphere and Deep Bonds of Ogre. The Sanskrit overlays and all were later used a lot by Kiryu. Though they were probably initially inspired by La'Mule.  (Sphere scan taken from ZOMBIEXJUICE)
Next is a personal favourite of mine, PROGRAM. This one is pretty much their attempt at combining Zan by Dir en Grey with Devil Kitty and Gill'e Cadith. It's pretty good if you like a lot of screaming and that rhythmic talking thing that isn't exactly rapping that Saki (though it was really Karuna's thing) does. 
 
Finally, I want to talk about a certain PV location that I've seen used in 3 different bands. I have no idea what this place is called, but maybe someone could help. 
The first band I know that used this is the GazettE, with their song "Wife". During one part, it shows the outside of the building. 
Ogre by Cuartet was later filmed in the same building, and even shows the exterior. 
The final PV that I know of that takes place there was Pink Woman by Etcetera. 
The filming crew for these PVs are probably all the same people who film stuff for Eternal, Climax Enterprise, Luciffer's Record and Mission Music Factory.
