This single sounds like 10/10.

This is so sugary and boring and all while them being capable of so much more.

that cover art is absolutely AWESOME, anyone know who did it?
the songs just seem like standard by the numbers kiryu at this point sadly, their gimmick is kind of starting to grow stale for me

僕が君に贈りたい最後のバラードを
boku ga kimi ni okuritai saigo no barādo o
 
答えの言えない深い霧の中
kotae no ienai fukaikiri no naka
紡いだ時間は 確かに手の中にあるのに
tsumuida jikan wa tashika ni te no naka ni aru noni
誰もが避けては通れない道の終わりなんて見たくなくて
daremo ga sakete wa tōrenai michi no owari nante mitakunakute
だけどいずれ訪れる
dakedo izure otozureru
 
せめて「サヨナラ。」を告げる日が来てやがて明日を奪うのなら
semete ‘sayonara.’ o tsugeru hi ga kite yagate asu o ubau no nara
色褪せない嘘をつこう「後悔はない。」と
iroasenai uso o tsukō ‘kōkai wa nai.’ to
崩れ去った夢の中で 耳を塞いで口にした声は届かないまま
kuzuresatta yume no naka de mimi o fusaide kuchi ni shita koe wa todokanai mama
いつか全てが終わるなら 君は何を望むのかな
itsuka subete ga owaru nara kimi wa nani o nozomu no kana
それは誰かの幸せか それとも不幸か
sore wa dareka no shiawase ka sore to mo fukō ka
溢れ返る無意味さえも なんだか綺麗に思えた
afurekaeru muimi sae mo nandaka kirei ni omoeta
(だって)これが人間なんでしょう
(datte) kore ga bokura* nan deshō
 
本当は気づいてた
hontō wa kizuiteta
始まりの時から いつかきっと終わるんだって
hajimari no toki kara itsuka kitto owarun datte
消えない音描いていたんだね
kienai oto egaiteitan dane
 
「サヨナラ。」を告げる日が来て明日を黒く塗りつぶした
‘sayonara.’ o tsugeru hi ga kite asu o kuroku nuritsubushita
色褪せない嘘をつこう「後悔はない。」と
iroasenai uso o tsukō ‘kōkai wa nai.’ to
崩れ去った夢の中で 耳を塞いで口にした声は届かないまま
kuzuresatta yume no naka de mimi o fusaide kuchi ni shita koe wa todokanai mama
いつか全てが終わるなら 僕なら何を望むかな
itsuka subete ga owaru nara boku nara nani o nozomu kana
それは誰かの幸せか それとも不幸か
sore wa dareka no shiawase ka sore to mo fukō ka
溢れ返る無意味さえも なんだか綺麗に思えた
afurekaeru muimi sae mo nandaka kirei ni omoeta
(結局)それが人間なんだ
(kekkyoku) sore ga bokura* nanda
 
これは宛名さえ持たない最後のバラード
kore wa atena sae motanai saigo no barādo
 
 
 
comment:
人間: I find this can be read as "jinkan" or "ningen". in this song Hayato says "bokura".

Damn, Gekka Bijin is back from the depth of hell itself 😕

I hope they remastered it again and I will be very grateful if they reduce the volume like a little bit. 

it has been announced at their 17th anniversary live at Ebisu Liquidroom that MERRY will release their first(!!!) mini-album in spring 2019.
 
More details will be announced at their fanclub-only Christmas live, "VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS ～CORE Premium Night～"...

BPR posted a comment video for the single/b-sides
 
 

too many old songs.... and it's weird to see Gekkabijin or Jou no Ka with Watashi Wa Kairai, Sarugutsuwa no Ningyou  in the same  tracklist, it's musically too different !

I hope we don't need to wait long for this single to surface

Finally a song which seems at least a bit promising. I can actually HEAR THE GUITARS in the mix. Now if only the entirety of drummers would stop using that slut "blast beat" so often, that'd be great.

Welcome to the official tutorial to create a Japanese iTunes account!
 
Before you get started, make sure you have all of the following:
✅ An E-mail Address That Is Not Registered To An iTunes Account
Something like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. I would not recommend that you attempt to use your iCloud e-mail address (if you have one).
✅ A Valid Japanese Billing Address
From what I’ve read around, iTunes requires a valid Japanese billing address and they have a system that will check. While it’s probably against Apple’s terms of service, you can use public/business addresses. One user used J-list’s business address, for another account of mine, I used my Tenso mailbox. You could probably even use a Japanese Apple Store location.
✅ A Japanese Phone Number
Requirement is debatable. Some people have claimed that they have used their own (non-Japanese) phone numbers, others have claimed to use a random string of numbers, or a 01 2345 6789 sequence… do whatever works!
✅ Japanese iTunes Gift Card
I highly recommend that you use Japan Codes, because their cards are the cheapest, and they have a wide selection of cards for other stores, such as レコチョク. I also recommend OffGamers.com if you have multiple iTunes store accounts from many different countries. I use OffGamers to get cards for my UK iTunes account.
 
One thing to keep in mind about gift code shops:
Every single one of these shops claim to send out gift codes immediately. Some shops live up to this promise... sometimes. It really depends. Sometimes one shop will send out codes instantly, other times that same shop may make you wait a few days.
 
Now that you have everything on that checklist, let’s get started…
 
Open up iTunes and go to iTunes Store. If you’re logged into an iTunes account already, then log out.
Then, scroll all the way down to the store homepage, and click on the flag in the bottom corner. It will take you to the region select page.
When you're on the region select page, look for the Japanese flag and click it.
Now you’re in the Japanese iTunes store.
 
Some computers may display the store in Japanese.
If that’s the case, then...
続ける = continue
キャンセル = cancel
戻る = back
同意する = agree
 
Click the Sign In button, then click the Create Apple ID button.
You’ll get some Welcome to iTunes screen. Click Continue.
Then there will be a Terms and Conditions page, check the box at the bottom, and click the agree button.
 
Now, let’s enter some basic account information:
 
Here’s where we begin to have some fun! Many people have trouble with this part.

Don’t worry, you actually can skip the Payment Type part with all the credit cards, and just enter your gift card code below that.
Enter the Billing address. I used From Japan’s headquarters in the picture above, and you could probably get away with using it, too.
Click Create Apple ID and buy some Japanese music!
 
Feel free to PM me with any questions or feedback.

Ready to listen to this for like a full week and then never come back to it unless its occasionally. 

These guys don’t know how to make a setlist flow do they? Rinkaku between Keibetsu to Hajimari and Beelzebub? 

As you wish
