Even if it was only 30 people, I wish I could have been one of them. He was amazing at what he did, I somehow cannot believe there were only 30 people at a VII-Sense live...

A) I think if executed well ARTPOP could be one of the greatest things put out or if executed poorly, a miserable failure. Since its Gaga it will PROBABLY be the former. So I'm excited. I'll probably end up buying the app and the physical cd because I'm like that. I'm hoping her new single drops in October because I hate waiting. C) I see, kind of shocked about Perez and Gaga falling out. They were best friends!

Shit I think Kisaki looks BANGIN'

Absolutely fantastic. And Satoshi looks mega hot in this. I haven't gotten legitimately excited about anything they've done since MUSIC and the few singles after. This is looking hella cool.

I cannot wait to hear this, the hype is making it out to be a return to heavier stuff. I hope so.

I haven't listened to this one too much since I've been so hung up on Div's new single, but I definitely thought Sadisgate itself was superb. I thought it was like dark and creepy and had the perfect atmosphere, exactly what I expected and wanted. However, Black Baccarat didn't really hit me yet. I listened to it and thought it was good, but I haven't come to appreciate it yet. And then Hakuraku was just batshit crazy. Which is totally a compliment.

That's a lot of money to pay for something almost no one had any hopes for, ya know? Like if VK CDs were to only cost me 10-15$ like any other CD I would buy, you bet your ass I'd have bought myself a copy of Division just to support one of my favorite bands even if the CD wasn't 100% up to par with previous releases (I bought Holy Grail, didn't I?). But the thing for me is: If I'm paying 33$ for an album and 12$ to have it shipped the album better be special or have some kind of personal meaning because that's a LOT of money to me right now.

This band is really really good. For lack of a better phrase. I mean really, their debut blew me away in it's own way, but this new single is even SO much better to me than Mudai no Document. I've already listened to the whole single 5 times... Well since I downloaded it I just had it on repeat so I haven't stopped listening to it. Natsu no Yukue is a fun pop/rock song, but my problem is that it's chorus and Hotarubi's chorus are almost identical to me. They have the same rhythm and very similar melodies. I'd have to say that I like Hotarubi a little bit more because of it's more ambient feel. It's strangely more cosmic than Natsu no Yukue which is a very earthy, grounded, yet fun song. Then there's Milky Latte which is totally out of left field and highly electronic, but very well done. *points to the GazettE* but this isn't about them, it's about Div. Div took a very popular concept in rock right now, electronic/rock crossover and made it work effortlessly. Love the single, 9/10

I have to admit something. I had heard that Lady Gaga mocked Madonna at her concert in Helsinki and I lost a lot of respect for her. Sure, Madonna "started it" but what are we 7? Lady Gaga has always been the kind of person to take the high road and yet there she is mocking Madonna? I'm sure Chianti, you can shed some light on that. EITHER WAY I'm trying to see about getting to either Madison Square Garden or Wells Fargo Center to see this show. I really didn't want to miss it.

Lmao. I love how like nothing is known about it whatsoever yet. Either way, loved their last EP I'm sure this one will be just as good.

Very cool. I can't wait to hear Hizaki's and Kamijo's compositions. I'm only slightly apprehensive of Teru's because he's done some awesome stuff, but he's also done some boring stuff too. If Threshold is a part of anything, I bet it's Brave.

Cool, cool. Hydrag let me down a little bit actually. But I really loved their Gotcha6ka release so I know they have greatness in them. Hopefully this EP will blow me away.

*applause*

In the vein of side projects: I bet Hizaki and Teru will go on together. They've already done so much together and work well together making the kind of music they do. Masashi and Yuki will probably have side projects that don't garner as much fame as they should. But Kamijo... He's an interesting one. I'm actually super super curious to see what he'll do in the meantime.

I'd read the hell out of that if I could.

They do look really good! Can't wait for the single!

It's REALLY good. The preview didn't disappoint. The whole song is that awesome. This band is maybe my favorite new one of the year.

Very cool. Kind of wish it was longer, but I wasn't even there so I can't complain. I love that it happened though.

Guess I completely missed that post, my bad. But that's such a predictable song *shrugs* oh well. I'm hoping Heaven's Novel has a retake of Angelical Jewelry or Transparent Shine.

Thanks, inartistic, that was quite informative. I thought at one point it was a full band but I guess now it really would be his solo project. I would be sad to see it stop after UCP does, but as long as Rin will still be active... It's okay. I just love Riku's voice and don't want him to go the way of Juka.

They are just shitting out records aren't they? Not that it's a bad thing. They have amazing talent and skill. I think it's too soon for an album. Maybe an EP, album next year.

I really liked Answer personally but maybe they didn't get such good reviews. But you know what good for them, realizing that breaks are a good thing and they don't need to go all the time. I'm lookin forward to what they can come up with for a comeback.

Necrophilia is a very... New theme in music. Haha. But WHY is God of Megaromania being released again?

I feel like Stand Up! is going to be a pop/rock anthem track which could be cool if done right and not too generically. Hallelujah has the potential to be a ballad, whereas I think Naraku is going to be heavier. I'm excited and cautiously optimistic. Looking forward to Naraku the most.
