Yes, that's exactly what they did. I expected no less from our master of photoshop.

LOL DID THEY JUST PASTE TARJA IN THERE BECAUSE PART OF MARCO'S FOOT IS MISSING.

Have some people on here that are in their twenties honestly not reached the maturity level yet where they see that posting comments like these in threads of bands they do not like is unproductive. Black Gene does not hurt you in any way by simply existing. Besides, as comes from our general guidelines:
 
 
It's really not that hard. Let fans be disappointed and at least elaborate on why you feel like they should disband instead of "pls disband kthnxbai". I've seen this shit happen a lot more often lately and I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on it. Ye have been warned.

What do you mean? It capture's Nightwish's essence of "turn everything up to 11" mentality perfectly. After all, there have been some absolutely hideous photo shoots with Tarja. I think they have a quota of one ugly band picture per singer to meet. The wind over the green screen is the perfect example of doing too much. If you can't enjoy Nightwish for the massive amounts of cheese they provide, there's not much left to enjoy.

Having an incredible musical allergy against all things Vocaloid-related, Hitorie shows that having Vocaloid roots does not always equal terrible taste. In fact, I'm going to be as bold as to say that Hitorie basically dropped the best indie-rock album of 2014.

WONDER and WONDER is the band's debut album, after their incredibly solid first single and mini-album. The bar for this album was thus set incredibly high, yet I was not worried that this album would disappoint me the second they dropped the music video and the previews. If you're not into Ling Toshite Sigure because of TK and the shrill noises, Hitorie is the band for you.

Hitorie's vocalist has a very pleasant voice. He's not the best vocalist but he's incredibly well in synch with the rest of his band. Hitorie's strength lies in their own sound. Despite being a very young band, they have thoroughly established their own sound, a sound that is similar to other bands but still has something quite unique about it that makes you say "this is Hitorie!". Their combination of diverse melodies and catchy hooks makes them one of the best newcomers of the year.

WONDER and WONDER is a showcase of everything Hitorie has to offer. The album is mostly made up of upbeat songs, but they differ a lot from eachother despite all executing the same signature sound. Hitorie found their formula, but isn't afraid to experiment within their formula instead of constantly churning out the same exact song as some other bands tend to do. From the incredibly well done ballad 癖 to the minimal なぜなぜ and the fun upbeat 我楽多遊び, this band shows a lot of different sides of itself. There was not a single song on this album that I did not like or  considered average. The second half of the album is better than the first half in my opinion, but in general the quality is good throughout the entire album.

What also makes this album so good is that it's fun. It makes you want to get out of your chair and dance along to the incredibly catchy tunes.

While this review might not be as in-depth as those of the Review squad, I do hope I've managed to make you at least a tiny bit interested in this album. It's just a fantastic album from start to finish and I can hardly find any flaws. I don't rate albums five starts often, but when I do, it's Hitorie.
 

Final verdict: - It's just that good.

Holy crap you guys are spergin' hard about interpersonal contact. I didn't think the concept of "friends" was that complicated but... well... here we are. You guys need to get better friends if you're this jaded by humanity.

I actually tried the Wagakki-band album and I'm really pleased. I've never been a fan of Vocaloid, but to see Vocaloid songs to be covered so creatively always makes me smile. Definitely a favourite of mine this year.
 
Could never get into Kameleo sadly, I don't mind pop-rock VK bands in general but the songs aren't catchy enough for my taste.
 
Wasn't too fond of gravitation either. It's still the same formula they've played since NOW, just mixed with deeper guitar riffs and more wubs. But if fans are digging it again, then sure, great!
 
Arukara's album was great as usual, probably one of my favourites of theirs yet next to Drama. The violin play in the third track was one of the best sections I've heard this year.
 
I sadly never got into 88kasyou, it just doesn't click with me and I have difficulties describing why. Maybe I'll get into them one day, I hope. They're very talented though, it's just not for me.
 
TK did a great job as expected. Fantastic Magic had a few filler tracks near the end that made me go "eh" but overall it was an enjoyable album. unravel is probably the most overrated song on the album in my opinion. The guitar sections are excellent but the chorus is very underwhelming. I feel like the popularity is also caused by it being the opening song for Tokyo Ghoul. The title track is one of my favourite songs this year though.
 
I've never heard of TESLA, but that video made me really interested! Loving the piano-driven sound, definitely going to give this one a try!
