They sure do look different. Except K... He looks the same. Mana looks very anime-ish.

I just hope that we'll be able to get the Gotcha6ka single because it's going to be a limited release, but if the main single is true... That's very exciting. I cannot wait to hear what this band sounds like.

Kihiro is looking FINE in that promo pic.

The vocals sound pretty great, I already know I love Leda and his compositions.

I have high hopes.

I LOVE Eternity. Shangrila sounds like it's two totally different songs merged into one, but they're separately beautiful.

If I'm making sense.

No, I think CDJapan has it and their web shop.

That's fucking awesome. I love this band.

I don't know why, but I am totally obsessed with this song.

I spent the last hour and a half playing the song over and over to get a feel for the lyrics (since I don't have the kanji) and then used the lyrics I wrote down to translate the song.

I definitely could be wrong on a lot of counts, especially the translation, but I think I transcribed it well enough.

Here's what I came up with, any help is truly appreciated. I want to get better at this.

Kurai umi no soko he yukouka (Let’s go to the bottom of the ocean)

Moda daremo shiranai rakuen o (No one else knows this paradise)

Fukai umi no soko he yukouka (Let’s go to the bottom of the ocean)

Mou nigeru koto ni tsukarata (One to be found, the other to escape)

Anata ga iro no nai (You have no color)

Nanimo Kowaku wa nai (I do not fear anything)

Hikari sasanai yami no naka he (In the darkness without a light)

Karamari nagara futari wa ochiteku (We’re entangled while falling down)

Ha hanai sekai ni dakara nagara (So while the world ends…)

Deepest love deepest love

Eien wa sousoko (…Forever we will be)

Chijou kara e fureta tenshi wa (The angel touched the ground)

Doko wa yukeba ii doterou (I simply cannot figure this line out)

Arasou hitotachi (The rough people…)

Nanimo miteku wa nai (…do not see anything)

Kuruu tedaichi de rikuruku ni wa (I’m going mad on this earth)

Amari ni yowaku yasashi sugite dake (Just too much weakness)

Tatoe sekai ga hononda toshite mo (Even if the world does…)

Deepest love deepest love

Koko ni wa todokanai (I cannot reach)

Hikari Sasanai yami no naka he (In the darkness without a light)

Karamari nagara futari wa ochiteku (We two are falling, entangled)

Jikan wa itsushika imi wa nakushi (I’ve sensed we’ve lost time)

Kono te ga sono te ga (This hand is the hand that…)

Hitotsu ni… (Extends to that one person)

Subete ga umareru Shikisai no naka he (We’re born into brilliant colors)

Toke ai nagara futari wa ochiteku (Mixing as we fall, entangled)

Ha hanai sekai de warai ao o (Your blue smile is not in the world)

deepest love deepest love

Eien wa sousoko (And forever we will be)

Okay, so the album is essentially a rerelease of Independent Maze but with three new songs and like a live DVD or something right? I just want to make sure I know what's going on here.

I'm excited for the new songs for sure, but I don't order DVDs anymore since my region free DVD player broke and I have a ton of Versailles and Moi dix Mois DVDs that won't play anymore

Exactly. Independent "MAZE" with all original bonus tracks, plus 3 new tracks on a separate disc. They are also selling a live DVD (which is separate from the album).

Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up!

Very interesting, loving the beats already.

*Stands up and cheers*

Oh my God.

I absolutely love both of them. That skull in the middle of the rose. The combination of red on black. The way the title is stylized on the cover. Oh my God I just love it.

TERU was the one who designed these cover arts! He should just continue to make the rest of them as well

I'm not usually the one to board the Teru bus so quickly, but yes let's please let him design all other album covers. I like the Rhapsody of the Darkness one though.

I also wish him a speedy recovery!

Cool! I hope the singles from this album cycle are better than the last one (loved "9" but hated it's singles)

I still haven't even seen The Suicide Circus PV. I love the song though.

Awesome!! We'll probably get more information like the track listing and album art in the next month or so.

Maybe even a PV preview

Oh my god that'd be AWESOME!

Awesome!! We'll probably get more information like the track listing and album art in the next month or so.

There's just something so wrong-sounding about these...

Babylon sounds great! I like the other preview of Salome better to be honest. But it's Kaya so I know I'm going to worship the hell out of it when it finally comes out.

Isn't there another V-Rock Anime cover album coming out sometime this summer?

The track listing for this looks pretty awesome. I'm always here for -OZ- and Matenrou Opera.

That simply has to be a joke.... Please good lord let that be a joke.

ITT: People that still believe that girugamesh will return to the sound they had on their s/t or MUSIC. It is almost unheard of (it was unheard of until 12012 went metalcore but we won't talk about that). I also vaguely remember people hating MUSIC when it came out, so I find it humorous that people are clamoring for that sound once more.

Anyway, I'm not holding my breath for a change back to what they were doing half a decade ago. I'll just sit by and eye this band and see if they can pique my interest once again. Playing pop music doesn't bother me; playing pop music blandly does.

Just wait for an album or two. That's just how people are. Everyone's going to be "awwwwwwww I wish they'd play Now and Go style again"

I'm going to go ahead and second all of this because it is all 100% accurate.

FUCKYES. Good news!!! Super excited.

That sucks, I was really looking forward to it... What's with these people delaying their releases...

Oh my. The Western cover is kind of terrible.

As weird and unexpected as this tracklist is, I'm just so curious.
