He definitely sounds egotistical but I don't understand why they didn't just translate it from Japanese to English? He is obviously reading from a script that he didn't write and sounds like he started learning English when he realized how his band could appeal to a western audience. I understand that they're trying to appeal to western fans but surely someone thought "maybe its better to properly translate this"?

I wonder if the album will be as generic as the cover art

if I read this correctly Inori is taking time off due to family circumstances

wtf is this are there gonna be dimlim ps3 controllers now

all I can do is kek

yep hiroshi and retsu both have the white frown face as their twitter profile pictures lol I already know where this is going

The visuals are promising

This feels like a forced transition into pop rock or whatever it is they're trying to go for, I was hoping for some mathy songs like whats up but I just ended up being disappointed with how boring the album is to me. Lots of creativity has been lost, they just sound like another j-indie band to me with this album.

I really don't know how to feel about this, when Rijin came out I said "I don't care if Sho gives up screaming for something this good" but this just sounds boring and uninspired. The chorus is catchy but other than that if this is the entire album and their path for years to come, I guess I'll just stick with anything pre-Kidoairaku unless they release some actual bangers

Just finished, interesting questionnaire

The second track's riff on the second single sounds way too similar to the riff in ARCHEMI's 崇拝

1/28 is one day before my birthday, it's like my birthday gift, so it better be good Retsu

Mine is on the 31st so I'm hoping for a good early birthday gift as well

I'm scared

I only expected them to do one because they teased a music video and they did a teaser for their last EP. I am not impatient though as the album is only 2-3 weeks away, I just don't like being blueballed especially with only a 1 second clip

Better late than never

Lol the album is supposed to be out this month and all we have heard was a 1 second sample, there's no way that they haven't finished recording the album yet. I assume they're far behind on the release date and they would rather focus on finishing the album rather than make a lyric video or a music video or something.

Its pretty good for a first song, I absolutely hate the synthesizers though 😑

I'd purchase it in a heartbeat, you don't see VK bands do vinyl pressings very often

The way the orchestra blends in with the song all the way through is just amazing, especially during the breakdown.

For demos these tracks are pretty good, I'll be looking forward to them!

Awesome

I've been subscribed to Nero for a while and I'm glad he's in a band now but the guy only does Dir En Grey covers which is kind of worrying. I hope he's not a Kyo clone when it comes to performing original material.

I think they just don't know what to do. Ever since they realized that they were in this position they probably started to rely on Retsu to pull all the strings more than usual and he probably is just as lost as them in this situation. All of the decisions they're making are so sporadic, like when they dropped their visuals it just seemed like some sort of desperate last effort attempt at trying to appeal towards western fans or something. All they have to do is focus on getting new members and then take some time with the album.

It's a slow yet sure and unfortunate decline that I don't see them recovering from.

Damn they really shouldn't have promised an album in this situation, all I can see happening is the album constantly being delayed. I feel like Retsu sees the band more as a business.
