I actually can't believe I didn't know about this until now. But nonetheless, I'm a little.... Taken aback. Seeing as Versailles was my favorite band. And still is. So it just seems like a bastardization of a band that didn't need fixing. To me anyway. But I'm glad they're carrying on the same sound and not changing things up too much. Unpopular opinion, maybe, but I really liked versailles through and through. I really liked the preview, to be honest. I think the band is gonna do good things.

Totally forgot about Ahead of the Light!!!! That's on my flawless list.

Now that I have the mp3's, I can say some things about the songs. I started with Sakura because I was curious if this was just a remake of the one on the White Album and yeah it was, but this is actually a really good thing. The Sakura from the White Album had so much potential, but was never truly memorable for me. I thought it was nice, pretty, far from bad, but a twinge on the boring side. This totally gets rid of the boring factor and now brings out the bigness that this song has. It's really captivating and captures the concept of spring perfectly. As for the piano version, I was so desperately awaiting this because their piano version of Abyss will go down in history as my favorite piano ballad of all time. Granted, those expectations are almost insurmountable. But I think it would have been a decent challenge to that if Nimo had actually sung for this. Just as the original is by no means bad, neither is this. It's definitely very beautiful and it does have an ambiance to it, but would be 100% better if Nimo was singing the same way he had sung on Abyss. I wanted to get that out of the way so I could focus on the brand new song. Shiroi Akuma really did not give me what I was expecting, but that's a good thing. Judging by the preview I was expecting a basic, VK/JRock song with poor production and lamely attempted singing. I don't know why, in hindsight, that's what A would give me. Nimo sounds fresh and fabulous in this song, production value is decent enough for my taste and the pace is kept up pretty well. The finale of the song is huge, climactic, perfect. Totally what I SHOULD have suspected from the beginning. The orchestra version I feel the exact same as the piano version of Sakura. Zess is right, this band has probably the most potential of any newer band... Save maybe for Div. I totally adore Div and think both them and A could really go far in the music industry,

Specifically the Water and Wind movements if anyone has them?

I'm with Jigsaw in that I don't want to spoil the entire thing just yet, but I did listen to the previews. They both sound awesome! This era is definitely on track to be my favorite... If not overall, then at least my favorite since Alpha. I'm excited for the third single now too, if there's another avante garde/pop/rock style song thrown in there, I'm totally all about it.

That's so fucking cute! I am totally in love with it, it's so silly and fun and the overall sound of it is way better than Sotsugyou in my opinion. Can't wait for this full single.

I like the PV clip a lot, but am I the only one that really enjoyed DSS? I thought it had a lot of really good songs... And yeah this does feel a little bit like it's a leftover from that album, but I'm okay with that because I liked th sound of that album. Sooooo that being said, I'm totally ready for this EP in hopes the alternate versions of songs are going to be as good as the originals.

I honestly didn't know that Zero/Tsukasa were doing anything after D'espairsRay. I tried to get into Angelo for Karyu's sake and they definitely aren't awful, in my opinion anyway, but I don't find them to be particularly attracting especially when compared to other bands I like way more. They just don't stand out or compete well. For me, D'espairsRay was the band that got me into VK and they may not be my favorite band of all time anymore, but it is really hard to compete with the four of them coming together so perfectly. So until Hizumi comes back to music, if he comes back to music, I just don't care about the others' musical projects.

Kinda hate the promo look for this EP... I agree with Ito in that some of their looks and promo photoshoots are done incredibly well, but this one looks kind of bland and thrown together poorly. Kaoru and Kyo look.... Really unlike themselves to me.

Not gonna lie, this has been my favorite alice nine. single in years upon years. The sound of this single makes me think of the Alice in Wonderland EP they did like... what 6 years ago now? It's melodic and a little pop/rock and a LITTLE bit dance rock, which I always ALWAYS like. I think this one is way more memorable than any of the singles from "9" or Gemini. While both of those albums were pretty decent, they didn't hold a candle to Alpha for me and I think that if we get an alice nine. album this year, it may be on par with Alpha with a lead single like this. I'm not even ready for Shadowplay because I'm still so in love with this song. Fantastic job a9, 5/5

I am 250% here for the cover art for this single. Way better than Daybreak's but I LOVE that song, so it's gonna be hard to top it. I cannot wait to hear what this sounds like!

I truly don't even remember this news, but I posted here... I'm getting old. Anyway, I like the track list. B-Side is probably gonna be a bit heavier. Can't wait to hear it! And I wonder if that is gonna be the new song on their best album.

Definitely not surprising, but still upsetting. I miss their good days too... I guess I don't have anything original to say. Miss their days of Versus and before and everything since has been very lackluster. I knew this was coming... But I'll follow the members to new projects.

Wait the where is night dreamer from? There's definitely two songs on the best of I don't have on any of their releases... I so confused ;_;

Night Dreamer seems okay, but I like the PV for world in flames. That's probably my favorite song of theirs. How many new songs are on this best of? Two right? And are there cover arts yet?

I really enjoyed the clip! I think the song will be great.

Oh. My. God. I'm actually tearing up from excitement. PLEASE COME BACK TO ME!!!! /weeaboomoment Sorry but this is incredible news.

Anyone remember 2NE1's song with will.i.am? We'll Take The World On has officially been released. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok9MLMd7ccE&feature=player_embedded That's the song, and if anyone wants to download it: http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/84310458/file.html Personally, I think it's pretty fun. It's nothing totally spectacular, groundbreaking, or massive, but it's fun. It was released for White Day in South Korea as a part of some Intel Project thing. At this point, it's pretty safe to say that 2NE1's American debut album has been scrapped. I had heard talk about that for a long time, but the most recent news on their project I've gotten is that the songs for the album that have been recorded are probably never going to see the light of day. As for their Korean comeback, as I've said it's supposed to be in April. I think that's pretty likely. They probably chose to release this for White Day since it's in March and their album is supposed to come out in April so it's like a teaser. Maybe. Or maybe it's wishful thinking. Idek.

That image really does look awesome! Eraser, do you have an image of just Deicida of Silence's cover art you can post? If not that's cool, just curious. I save all the album art when they're announced so I don't forget when the actual album comes out. But the preview sounds really really awesome, I'm actually looking forward to this even though I haven't liked a damn thing since Seven. That actually sounds really good, I hope they don't try to get pointlessly heavy or br00tl on it.

I liked Division, excited for this as well.

It's probably going to be at least an EP, but I'm always excited for his music. I adore him Nd he looks FLAWLESS!!!
