Holy Fuck. I'm dead.

I will be going to the New York City show, most likely. I count L'Arc as one of my favorite bands of all time and would be devastated if I missed them and then they disbanded forever or some shit. I just have to figure out travel arrangements and things. As far as albums go, I would be totally excited for a new one in November, but not two. It would be too many to handle at once.

LOL You're right. I thought a couple names were cool, I'd rather wait for the official one than do all the speculating and arguing I did for Lady Gaga's new album.

I have no idea what the difference between each of those things are all I know is how to grade quality of files based on what I have in front of me. They all seemed about equal in quality but they got progressively less perfect, but all were more than acceptable.

THIS. @Pretsy and @Furik

What an absolutely stunning music video! I can't wait for the album, ordered my copy on Wednesday night.

Oh my god I'm sorry! I wish I knew what genders people were haha and youuu can have Bertha haha

This. Unless he means that the b-side is prereleased somewhere? Actually, I'm just all around confused. Lol.

I just don't understand how artists can just shovel out albums like this. Their quality as a whole went down after Gokusaishiki and at this point their just announcing releases left and right, somewhat haphazardly. I bet they'd create another killer album like Gokusaishiki if they'd take more than 5 months to write, compose, and produce an album.

Okay, this is what I was getting at. I wasn't "crying" about anything, I just would like to note that anyone with half a fucking brain would know he'd rather be performing for his fans than selling his own merch to them. If I were put in his position I would be leaning towards the embarassed side. Maybe he's not, but I would be.

DEAD. FUCK YES. I am so fucking pumped for this. I need more Dir en grey in my life and August 3rd will bring it to me 11 New Tracks = Perfect amount.

Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't they just release Kakera? Don't they have a single coming out in like a couple of weeks? They're going too fast. I already have low expectations for this album. The creative process takes longer than a couple of months.

To me, D'espairsRay is one of the more popular bands in the JRock scene and... to sell your own merchandise is totally one thing, I mean I've met tons of artists because they sell their own merchandise after shows... but that's the thing... after shows. Hizumi is going to be selling his own merchandise while his band is on stage playing without him. I know he has health problems, but I feel it's disrespectful to him to have the rest of the band be like "oh don't worry you can still be involved... here, sell our shit while we perform without you."

Just listened to the B-Side previews. Uncertain Sense sounds as hot as Vortex, but I agree with Frae, I feel Break Me is lazy.

This is a little... embarrassing.

I'm not going to lie, I really really liked it a lot. This would probably be my favorite single since DIM. Easily.

The song itself is not bad, due to the fact that I generally like almost anything that Kisaki is involved in and Riku sings because Phantasmagoria always has been and always will be one of my favorite bands, HOWEVER nothing Lin has released thusfar has really broken any form of mold like say... Neo Ark or Eternal Silence... Or even Glitter. The music is good but not great. As for the music video... That is one of the worst pieces of embarrassing garbage I've ever seen in my twenty years of living and seven years in the VK scene.

Interesting... It's really too early to tell still if I have sincere hope for this single. I'd need a PV preview or something to judge.

Extremely excited for the new single regardless of the tracklist really. I just need new Dir en grey in my life. I generally don't care as much about the single as the album, so when august gets here I'll actually care about the tracklist, as long as it doesn't have anything remastered or rerecorded or "reconstructed" on it.

My personal favorite thing about the album? Britney stans who are reviewing Born This Way on iTunes and giving it a one star rating and then writing some misspelled bull shit to bring the overall rating down because they're butt hurt because their lip-syncing queen has absolutely nothing on Mother Monster, yet the album's overall review is STILL 4.75 out of 5 stars. It became the #1 selling album in less than an hour and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. See, Britney? This is what a real artist does. It just goes to show how petty Britney Spears fans are. Gaga fans, as far as I'm consciously aware, did not do this to Femme Fatale.

@sebbivism Awesome! I figured just wanted to make sure @sai YOU KNOW MY HIGHWAY UNICORN IS GONNA BE ALL ABOUT BLASTING THE RRRGLBRGLBRGL SPEWING FROM KYO'S MOUTH! Rofl, I'm excited.

One will probably be a piano ballad like Kizuna, the other will probably be a heavier symphonic metal song. I'm thinking the whole theme of the LTD Type A will be ballads an such while the other versions will be heavier.

I KNOW RIGHT?! I sincerely thought I was the only one who felt that way about it. Haha. It doesn't deserve to be down there. I like every song on there, vs. Britney where I've only counted 5 outstanding tracks. Edit: I got the girl who posted the pictures to repost them for me so I could show them here. They might be outdated by now, but recently they were relevant, obviously: http://yfrog.com/h2cqmpwj http://yfrog.com/gym63igj Full fiew, really tiny writing though http://yfrog.com/h2f75atj

It's proving incredibly difficulto to find right now, I'm still looking and I'll post it when I find it, but wither @HausofNicole or @OrderAMcGaga on Twitter tweeted a screencap of the worldwide iTunes chart placing Femme Fatale at... 29 I think and TFM at 27, numbers may be slightly off but that is true. EDIT: Just checked the charts from today and Femme Fatale is higher than both The Fame and The Fame Monster. This is good for Britney, however it doesn't excuse the fact that The Fame is still on the Top 100 3 years after it's release and The Fame Monster is a year and a half after it's release, while Britney has fallen to 35 two months after it's release... (J.Lo? Don't even get me started lol, I love the album but it's 65 after being out for 17 days.)
