sleepy coffee

My spiciest prediction is every Starwave band/artist survives 2020. Kizu will finally release a full length album. AINS will sign 2 more bands. Yuuki (ex. UnsraW) will finally release new music in some shape form (even if its just demos/teasers). Z from R-shitei will join Nocturnal Bloodlust, Mamo will either start up a new band w/ all new members or a solo project. Adding onto my prediction about Z, Nocturnal Bloodlust will have a new release this year and itll bang. DIMLIM will survive the year but stick with 3 members officially (cant speak for if they finally decide to add support members for lives). RAKUGAKI, gulu gulu, and NICOLAS are gonna be the most popular MH bands for 2020. and lastly (for now if i ever remember to add more predictions) SCAPEGOAT is going to go back to their "Haru has to kill his girlfriend in every single music video" phase and itll be great. (dont get me wrong i loved scapegoat's 2018 releases i just miss the edgy days.

lmao fuck me

Holy moly this gonna be good

I highly doubt they ever returned, I think it was pretty obvious washow records or whatever they were "signed" to was just an affiliate/sublabel of ains

Which is why it's only ok if your faves are problematic or at least that's the impression I get from most of vk scene online lol

lol in the music video it starts of with syoma kissing airo and then airo climbing on top of syoma (doesnt seem like theyll be posting the full version cause its on the physical release) \ also in general the mini album is fantastic, the title track is my faves but i think overall this might be their best release (at least since joining starwave)

https://starwave.official.ec/ a ton of cula merch on the starwave shop including the new single (ouch 3500 yen for that) for anyone overseas theyll have a flat fee of $20 shipping just as a headsup

I suspect this might be another starwave band since iirc alot of their first shows are starwave hosted shows

I wonder if Yuri who used to be the vocalist of Signal is friends with Kiwamu/Starwave, just noticed that either he or his company were credited as the guys who directed (maybe produced?) Music videos for cula, xanvala and who knows who else. Still wish Yuri was singing and not directing tho lol

Thanks I'll edit the title

The band is under the AINS label and theyll be coming out with a full length album in march MV spot for it in replies

Yep looks like moving forward in 2020 theyll be officially going as RAKUGAKI and under the actual AINS label

New logo (?) And full band photo Individual members photos New MV spot Edit: they might've changed their band name just to RAKUGAKI also on the MV spot it says AINS on the top right lol

Dont mean to bump cause theres literally nothing new from this project but does anyone know if these guys have stated anything about actual new releases yet? They seem to be pretty active on twitter and I guess their podcasts so I assume they must've stated something on one of their podcasts but idk who here that understands japanese would wanna go through the trouble of listening to all 25 episodes

My ass is probably gonna buy it 3 times if this vinyl thing turns out to be legit

dont even got something that can play vinyl and id still buy this for collectors/supporting reasons tbh

Any idea what this announcement is? Seems like it pertains to Zikiru

Well the band looks sick, interested to hear what they got.

Technically not my purchases but these are christmas gifts from my best friend. Labaiser - Imperial Propaganda Under Fall Justice - 僕以外に何がいる？ Really excited to check out the new UFJ release (they also got me shirts from UFJ and La'veil MizeriA)

They have some heavy tracks mixed in their. Tbh their music offers alot of variety

Still not as edgy as when these guys went full nazi But either way I love this darker look and hopefully any new music reflects that

Go was their 2nd guitarist already so hopefully they can find someone again who can fill in those shoes without too much trouble
