they got a shop now btw

Just checked their thread and actually the reviews are 90% good? lol
What thread did you read? 

Wow this is better and more than what america got I'm jealous 

They look incredible, also happy to see Makoto in this. Should be interesting to see what he brings to their sound

New guitarist Makoto joins La’veil MizeriA and new group shot released.
 

I’ve ordered from them several times and have no complaints. They’ve been a lot more reliable than CDJapan ever since they changed warehouses. 

ALEVAS X-month consecutive digital singles will be released. The first is called "HUMAN NODE 2020".
 
 

damn you Retsu

What's so not VK about the video?

Well, our passion for Dimlim made us go off-topic but...
 
Despite being a complex matter to approach, and also the fact that there isn't analysis available on the matter (at least in English), VK actually is a genre. There being a lot of variation and diversification both sonically and visually between bands of the scene doesn't necessarily conclude into VK bands don't having a LOT of things in common to make them part of a whole 'scene', in many levels (sound and visuals, but also other aspects related to production of the artists, their promotion, fans' rituals, etc., VK culture per se).
 
'Genre', 'movement', 'scene', call it the way you like. 'VK', as other things, exists by virtue of patterns of key elements that repeat all over their products no matter their differences between; in the end, that is what make their producers, bands themselves, us the fans, people inside and outside the scene, pick the term 'visual kei' to describe some music projects, and not 'glam rock', 'goth', 'punk' or 'metal' instead, in the way of deciding what music to listen according to our tastes.

Definitely beats Lime's English from black rain lol

They are 100% visual kei, even the melody is vk lol
but it's perfect vk.
 
perfect melody and perfect vocal.
because melody and vocal it fits 100%. 100% in harmony.
 
 
non visual kei bands truly play different melody and also different vocal.

I also will react to this topic.
 
I've listened to more songs on their youtube.. and all their previous songs are just  bad, shit visual kei music.. not even amazing rock quality, just typical boring visual kei, with no heart with no feelings just.... no.
 
 
but the new song...
The beat, the melody, the kinda vocal sound...
It all mix nicely together as a perfect mix.... it really though your heart.
Truly 10/10 song.
And believe me it is. 
 
Lately I only listen to masterclass rock music. music who is played by bandguys who are longer in the music world as those young dudes. music of people who know what music is.  I follow lot's of "legend Japanese rock stars (which most of you never did hear off tho lol)"  
So because of that I became very picky of what GOOD music is. 
 
 
However, I call this song really a master piece. it's a perfect song, easy to like, it touch your heart.
vocal fits perfectly to the melody....
 
 
But by listening to their previous songs,, I kinda doubt their their album will only contain this masterclass songs. 
 
 
If they will release more music like this... then I surely will support them.
I'm looking for this kind of visual kei bands, who really put everything into music.
 
 
if you dislike this kind of sound,
well then. you really don't have a good taste for music. 

Yes and a pig could tell me it's a zebra. That wouldn't make it so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this brand of indie/math (done to this extent) unprecedented in the VK scene? The sound itself may not be inherently unique, but contextually, you gotta give these boys their props.
 
 
 
This is just the style. I can understand how it might sound chaotic and senseless to some ppl tho...and it may be that I'm biased because my ears are just acclimated to music like this.
 
But to me, it sounds like a glitchy/IDM-like approach to composing, and you hear this type of thing done in ling tosite/Tk's solo stuff and haisuinonasa, amongst many others. The sokoninaru comparison is especially apt because they've been REALLY hammering, and in my opinion - overdoing-, this style lately.
 
This type of composing can get REALLY tedious if overused, but I think DIMLIM did a fine job in this song of keeping things cohesive, catchy, and interesting, and not just being flashy for the sake of it. It's not an easy balance to strike, and trust me, in comparison to a lot of the stuff out there that takes a similar approach, DIMLIM are doing this style justice. Their VK leanings just make it even more special imo.
 
That said, we'll see how well this plays out on the album...

Fucking hell I'm literally about to go to sleep lmao 

I hope you can picture my jaw piercing the floor from a seventh floor and falling out of control listening to Sho. He is INSANE in the previews

I think some people are missing the meaning of "conceptual" in the " MISC is a conceptual album" sentence.
 
I mean, of course it's different from CHE DO A RA, shouldn't it be?
 
And this notable confusion of directions, mixed bunch of ideas being throwed around would actually fit the concept of MISC., as in short of Miscellaneous, right?
 
I'm pretty excited for this, is shaping to be a pretty interesting experience

Appreciating the song more with each listen and man, Sho is pretty much the best vocalist the scene has produced in the last decade, he is improving so fast

They dezertified themselves but at the same time got more wanky, and it works. I don’t know if I will care about an album of that but they definitely did not embarrass themselves. A bit worried about the other songs but this one is just as good as anything they did before imo

THIS IS FUCKING GREAT
 
Samples sound good too!
