I really enjoyed Kagrra,'s music mainly because of Isshi's unique voice. This is a tragedy... 2011 is such a disastrous year. R.I.P.

I was actually really disappointed. They've been one of my favorite acts since they debuted, but this... this didn't blow me away in the same way their other work has. For me, Remind was like Testament from Artificial Hallucination so that I enjoyed. Also, Predict was really well done, but Hypnos, Sirius, and Genuine were too slow and just not... I don't know I just didn't feel any emotion from it whatsoever. I was thinking... If all they were going to do was take old Hora solo songs and add voices... There was a million other songs to choose from, like Prominence or On Falling or Dusk or... Jesus so many songs! But they chose slow ones... Meh, in the end, Kaya still has his solo project that Hora works on all the time so it's not like they never work together.

The B-Sides were pretty good, but overall generally forgettable. Kamikaze, however, was fucking amazing. I'm glad this single impressed me more than their last one. I'd say overall an 8/10, with the title track being a 10.

Pleasently surprised with the outcome. Still not my absolute favorite though. Can't wait to hear a studio version as radio rips generally suck ass.

Cover art.

Fuck yes. So then it should be uploaded soon (ish ((?)))

I'm so excited to hear what this will sound like.

Thanks so much for what was given! I'm looking most specifically for Atria and Kono Sekai ni Mihana Saretemo, if anyone has them.

Google provides me with nothing.

Does anyone know where I can get translated lyrics of almost all of their songs?

LOVE the L'Oisseau Bleu preview and for the first B-Side, but I'm torn on the other one. It sounds sooo good once the screaming starts, but that acapella is a tad on the strange sounding side.

RIP Taiji, that's really sad, he was very talented.

This sounds fucking phenomenal, I'm really excited!

I definitely liked Vortex and Red a ton more than this.

just by a 30 seconds preview? wow, you're awesome

Yes, by a 30 second preview and yes, I am awesome.

Cover art for Remember the Urge is fantastic, Clever Monkey? Stupid. Their look is really good, but the music is mediocre. I definitely liked Vortex and Red a ton more than this.

OT, but Furik your avatar owns life.

Back on topic: I also agree with your post Furik, but it isn't just Satsuki that would do it. They'd ALL do it, let's be real. VK artists aren't all major so they pretty much put out tons of versions of things to get all the money they can out of one piece of work.

Liking the cover art too. Pirates are awesome.

The last two seconds definitely came out of left field, however I am DIGGING this. I am too excited!!

@Trombe Well that makes sense now, lol. However, I do still think it's a little bit ridiculous

@Nekkichi Absolutely, you KNOW it's true. This is the one downfall of VK music, there's only so many times you can recycle a song.

Why re-release the same song even as a B-Side? Like what the fuck?

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a slow-paced tear-jerking merody with lots of forutepiano and cheap synths here and there, and some heavy leftovers for b-sides.

I'm feelin' this, but I'm... not disappointed haha. It's what I like D to do.

For some reason I'm hoping this single is like 7th rose or something nothing even almost considered jazzy.

Fix'd

I'm kind of excited, I mean they're really good musicians so I know I won't be let down too much even if it's not as great as Goksaishiki.

I usually don't care if a visual is bad as long as the music is good, the visual is just an added effect to me. If the look is great though, I will probably appreciate the music more. I gotta say I love the single cover art, if that is what it is. I think it's very... Pretty.

I'm actually going to agree with precious kitty on this one. I liked it a lot and thought it was a very strong first album. Only listened to it once through so far, but Room No.13 was my favorite I think.

They never fucking come to America anymore. Boo.
