I don't mind it. I like the idea sort uhh yeah. Not their best tho. 
 
By the way thank fucking christ by the way these pig gaijins on twitter don't realise that he dun' speak no english, 'cause if he did, I'd be embarrassed. When did these people start listening to vk? Karma is obviously going for some old Japanese rock aesthetic with the hat and the song and the rest of it, so sorry if the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about what some Americans and Europeans on their white man's burden quest of civilising the world think about their hats. 

love that they're optimistic that they're gonna be around until september

There's toilet paper shortages on my end as well, as well as wipes, water, hand sanitizer, those small microwave dinner bowls, eggs...we're all gonna die apparently. The store in town is actually closing at nighttime so they can actually stock their shit without being assraped by greedy ass hoarders. It's fucking sad how dumb this country is.

His profile on their official home page needed some urgent updating so I thought I'd help out a little
 

 
 
I seriously couldn't get past the first 8 seconds on retsu's lets's Q&A video because I was already laughing so hard lmao. Never thought I'd see the day when dimlim becomes such a joke...
Someone pls save Sho and Hiroshi from this mess, they don't deserve this

Can someone translate the whole thing

I love it ! The singer looks like a mix between Kaya and Mana, but on a budget lol I really like the song and video tho

Seeing dimlim fall is sad

Big thanks to Kenbo! 
He helped with translating a few questions to Japanese. And surely also that every member answered the interview very nicely! It's an interview everybody enjoys, so please read even if you aren't a fan! ^^
 
 
 
EDIT:
Why did we choose this band for an interview?
CLACK inc. is maybe not the most popular or best band around (for some of us), but if a band changes their members it's always interesting to dig in them a little bit. I'm also glad that Jae_agent33399 helped us with giving a good direction of questions we could ask. 
Looking at the history of this band and members and current members it's a good band to have interviewed too, because hey it's interesting what they have been up to and if they can hit more people hearts!
 
Because this band starts a new area I won't share their music in this topic.
 
Still I hope that people are exited to discover more about their upcoming single. I'm looking forward to it!
So keep tuned okay?
 
 
A really big thanks to Kenbo, without him, this interview maybe wouldn't be possible at all. 

Seeing dimlim fall is sad

Oh my gooooood, that's so good.

I guess Retsu's pride will take a huge hit and he will be pissed off and release "What's up [2]" where he will slam outseas fans.
 
No bangyas and no gaijins.

I feel like people exaggerate the last single being bad because kuroi ame was a ballad and black rain was a mistake. As far as typical good kizu tracks go 銃声 and 息のできる死骸 are right up there. 

I love that all of this "bands are copying DEG!!!!!" shit, THE most obvious commonplace you can go on criticizing VK, comes around every couple months like the flu
 
then comes the obligatory Kuroyume song to prove the absolute copycat shitfest DEG was
 
and then we get a mod calling everyone to stay on topic
 
oh, the circlejerk of life

I never understood why care so much about a band ripping off diru when diru never sounds the same from album to album. Might as well let someone else copy a sound they're obviously never going back to.

Hey kids, this smells like a...
 
 

Calling them a deg knock-off because Jin started screaming 2/3rds into their career is a bit of a stretch. Not even the DSS prog aspirations of like one song the last album really cut it for such a label. 
 
Early Nega is quintessential UCP sounding stuff that was musically going along the same broad strokes vk was in general at that time. Deg doesn't have the trade mark on screams, growls and chugs when you can find that in vk from like 2000 onwards, or 2001 in this case since Ray was already ripping off Slipknot by that time while the boys in Dir en grey were still dressed in drag. 

yikes less than 300 views in a day lmaaoooo fucking rip yohio 
 
I can't believe how this dude can't dedicate himself to any project he starts. He can obviously rip off gazette musically, sing and scream very well and design merch for himself and what have you. And despite all that, he doesn't commit to a consistent release schedule, he doesn't stick with any project he starts ( remember the girl band? remember awoken by silence? remember this oskar he was hyping on his label? actually remember his label in general? or his podcast for that matter ) By the time a nobody vk band like Jigsaw or something has put out release after release while struggling to stay alive in cut-your-hair-or-die no welfare Japan, this dude has only flexed to an ever-dwindling number of people on twitter in an attempt to become a motivational speaker or something. He's accomplished astoundingly little after the second solo album came out and it's been years. He's obviously from a rich family and definitely hasn't worked a day in his life because his malnourished manlet child-body looks like wouldn't survive a day in the cold, so why the fuck can't he get anything done when he has all the time in the world to sit on his ass and play video games? I loved second and third DISREIGN pvs so I'm just blown away how someone can be almost legit for one minute and a total flop for the remaining 59. 

E N O U G H !
 
Oboreru Sakana #2 or we riot with red clown noses

Don't really want to say anything about piracy & buying stuff that's not already been said (if you like a band find a way to support it), I just wanted to chime in to say that your opinion on Komorebi is, in fact, yours only as I don't share the same point of view - she's always been very nice, talkative and helpful to me. Leave moderation to the mods, thanks

Rijin is one of my favourite releases ever but this killed my vibe, I think retsu is a lost cause and sho should leave for better projects

I’m left wondering why they think it’s a good idea to tour overseas behind THIS. And are they going to slap songs like Shigarami and Mad K between all this noodle jangle? How disjointed is that setlist going to be?

I honestly wanted to like this album but the outcome made it impossible for me.
Misc is one messy beast and a really unsettling listening experience. The whole thing sounds as confusing and random as Retsu's social media slapping over the last weeks. I really don't know who they (he) want to aim with this sound.

Some of you also stated the electronic samples. Yeah, cringy is the perfect description for them. Especially the SEs are freaking annoying.
Three quarters of the album sound the same (Which isn't always something bad as CHEDOARA had a stringent structure, too) and songs like MIST or Funny World are kinda bland and forgettable. I rather not start talking about fucking Lament.. 
What's up? for me is the only highlight followed by before it's too late and Tick Tak.
 
This state of the band really is a waste of talent and I hope that Sho will leave this sinking ship soon and joins a banging VK combo again. He is too talented for draining in a J-Pop band.

I'm curious of how well this album will be embraced and if they will gain new fans with their new sound. But it is with a tearing eye that one of my (our) VK hopes left the arena and will definitely not come back. 

All these "electronic effects" are so extremly cringy and out of place / randomly thrown in like "i want to have these effects cause im so different now", I cant nearly listen to the song and feel constantly I want to skip to the next song.
Also MIST might be the worst album opener I heard in a long time.
What a waste of talent.

Hello everyone,
 
My name is Gamze, and I am a Master's degree student. I am writing my thesis on  Visual Kei (which I am also a fan of) and visual kei fans. I am currently carrying out an online questionnaire for my thesis about visual kei fandom and their SNS habits as well as fan event participation. The questionnaire is completely anonymous. I would really appreciate it if you participate in the questionnaire. You can access it here: https://forms.gle/BTFbwfn5b7Y8AfRv5
Thank you so much, and I am very sorry if I caused any disturbances.
