Or maybe some people want that information in text form so they can read it better or copy/paste it to their respective databases/libraries.

Kyo isn't flawless, we already know he had always pushed himself so hard that today he has a pretty much messed up throat. But I feel his work in sukekiyo, while being way more melodic and sophisticated than in late Dir, let him put out the best of his performance all the way up rather than in his former band. So listening to sukekiyo feels actually really refreshing and more natural when it is about listening to Kyo, imho.

The instrumentation is perfect but Karma’s voice ain’t it. It sounds very forced. His style is one of those that you have to write the music around or else it clashes, but that’s just my opinion lol

my friend Tetsu upload the full MV VANISH
 
 

visual kei is all about being disappointed, we'll all cope

SO. READY. FOR. NEW. MUSIC. 😍

I still miss D'Ray
 
 
Hizumi please come back

「ヒューマンエラー」is (Human error).
 
TYPE A and B will cost 1620 yen with 3 songs each.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds good...not like I was expecting to be disappointed or anything lol. Though I'm glad it sounds more 'classic' style and has less digital noise, I think the excessive electronic sounds on recent songs drown out the nostalgic quality of his voice too much.

...aaand a short preview!
 
 
So far so good.

Covers of the regular editions:
 
"Kachou no shirabe":

 
"Fuugetsu no uta":

also, people wouldn't be able to do the cool hand furi choregraphy or whatever its  called if they were using cellphones to take pictures. I always find annoying when in concerts in other countries people are more worried about recording taking pics than actually enjoying the show, so I also appreciate this.

Here's the cover art:
 

 
Only a few more days and we'll get to hear the 'TV-size' version of RONDO~
 
Also, the title of track 3 is confirmed to be "獣たちの夜 - version of Cube Juice -", so it's gonna be a remix it seems.
(Cube Juice has already collaborated with B-T and Atsushi's solo works before, with electronic arrangements and remixes.)

I've been into VK for over 15 years and haven't listened to a Luna Sea album from start to finish...

Coming soon...

Tbh I like Dir en grey, but I’m not big on Shinya. He’s always read cold to me, and at first I thought maybe he was just shy or not a huge fan of meet and greets, which is whatever - but then we were both at the same party once,  and when I went to say I was a big fan of his band, he literally pretended I wasn’t even there. I mean straight up, I even did that awkward thing where I repeated myself because I wasn’t sure if he hadn’t heard me or not, lol. 

I saw Dir en grey in Portland in 2008.  I was so stoked to finally see them and they were my favorite band at the time.  The show was really mediocre though. Aside from the crowd being filled with a lot of hardcore weeb girls, the band themselves just didn’t seem that into it.  After the show, Shinya and Toshiya were signing and bc of where I had been standing, I miraculously ended up being first in line.  At the time, I’d never had a CD signed before aside from handouts at local shows in my hometown that came in paper cases and I didn’t realize that I had to unwrap the CD before they’d sign it.  The bouncer told me to go to the back of the line, so I very quickly scrambled to open the wrap.  I managed to do it p fast, and Toshiya was laughing a little bit.  Idk if he thought it was funny or if I was an idiot.  Shin ya didn’t seem at all interested in anything.  I tried to thank him for signing the CD, but he just looked away and snubbed me.  After that, I kinda stopped liking Diru.  It felt like the magic was gone.  Tbh I’ll listen to their new music, but I always feel like I’m just not into it now.

I actually really love the vocals, really compliments the style of the song. Really excited to listen to the mini-album. 

I would call this anything but generic (and I listen to a metric fuckton of -core music). Each instrument in each part of the song is expertly layered in the mix and they complement each other perfectly. No repetitive drumming patterns, outstanding guitarwork with some nice tones, a little bit of ambiance here and there, with a competent vocalist on top of it all. The only thing missing is just a little bit more grit in the vocals, maybe some screams, but it's still an amazing song anyway. I'm really excited to hear more.
