99.999 is ART DRAWN BY INFUSE INTO. I would have rather they use one of the BGMs from their YT teaser vids. I've been most curious to hear BABYLON'S TABOO since it's between two very different tracks. Amazon needs to start shipping pre-orders NOW!

Oh good, I thought it was kinda shitty of them to do a live-limited tape release

I’ve been in Japan for two weeks and, well, this happened The regular edition of cali≠gari TURN-3 was bought before I realised the limited edition was available at littleHEARTS, so that’s ¥2,000 wasted. Something about being in Japan makes me feel like hunting cali≠gari... When I bought the umbrella album I had a brief encounter with the band members themselves. I didn’t recognise them until they said who they were, they were wearing no makeup and two of them had surgical masks. I was too shy to talk to them but it was still really cool to see them hanging around Closet Child Harajuku!

I gave up on hoping for long songs haha. It appears I should give up on hoping they don’t throw in intro tracks as well, that seems to be a thing RUKI won’t stop doing This album is gonna be roughly 42 minutes long? Damn, that might be their shortest full-length. While I am expecting something great, I’m not expecting any surprises. IIRC they didn’t even start writing the album until after they announced it

So far, Nagoya might be my new least favourite place in Japan, the only thing I like is my hotel. At least this part of the city I’m in is shit. Every human to exist should go to Naoshima tho

@itsukoiiyour wish came true btw that cover is just... wtf... I don’t know how to feel about it

My flight to NRT takes off in two hours and I still haven't booked a single hotel...

Taking a break may not have done these guys any favours

I don't hate the preview for new コバルト. Definitely considering getting a copy of backwards-3, not sure how I feel about backwards-4 tho... samples here

We usually do some kind of dark shit theme around Halloween (Horror Movie theme in 2015, spooky in 2016, serial killer smooth criminal 2017)

I'll be in Japan during some of this tour, so I might consider going to one of the shows in either Osaka, Shizuoka, or Sendai... mainly because I want the CD hahaha

Give it a rest? Focus on one song instead of four mediocre songs? On BP Records? Never gonna happen 😕

I can't speak for anyone who quoted my post, but I prefer albums over singles. I'd rather get 12 songs that all go together as one unit every 1-3 years, instead of one song with three random b-sides every 3-4 months. This will be their fifth single since WOLFMAN. Since BP bands always only put 11 tracks on an album (plus one bonus track), and each album usually includes every recent single, an entire half of the album will (most likely) be singles.

Where's the fucking album?

Fuck yes, I am here for all of this

Exactly! I didn't mind the sound/production of THE UNRAVELING because it was like a 'cleaner' DSS. ARCHE sounded too much like UNRAVELING but even more compressed, so I wasn't pleased. And if these two singles indicate anything, it's that we're in for an ARCHE II. I like 人間を被る as an ARCHE/UNRAVELING leftover, but I hope the album version is different, and I hope my "ARCHE II" prediction is false.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of 人間を被る, I don't mind the Un deux vibes. I am very relieved to say that I recognise Ash; it appears they did not tsumi to batsu that song! Whoever told them it was a good idea to include that live recording of 詩踏み lied. This band has been lied to. If they were really so pressed to fulfil some three track quota, they could have just re-recorded another song.

The Forbes article he was tweeting about had to do with iTunes discontinuing their “iTunes LP” feature that barely anyone utilised; it was Apple’s attempt to make the digital music experience more interactive. RUKI went on to mourn the decline of the CD format. He’s worried about the future of music packaging because he’s clearly never heard of something called vinyl!

I guess I'm gonna stay for season 10 Bullet points for this episode: some of these contestants are cuuuuute I don't have any favourites yet I wanted Kalorie to get the chop this episode, I don't really dig her, plus she's doing the whole Kardashian thing which...... ick I'm also not into Aquaria, she seems really annoying There's too many people to keep track of, I've forgotten at least half the contestants' names

Also on iTunes, and this includes DEFINITE PROMISE which never leaked. The files were transcoded from MP3s, so buyer beware if you're not on Spotify

YES! WE NEED REVIVALS IN HERE! I never really got into the material they put out on SPEED DISK, but I still love them and hope we get some new stuff from them soon! ☺️ @itsukoii

Nope, I miss it too! As much as I love 毒廻る, I think it would have benefitted from a more raw production quality. I actually hate how they've been producing their music the past several years. This over-polished production goes back to アイアムメンヘラ, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. :/
