It's in cases like this you realize (even if I already knew this) that the visual kei-scene is actually very very "underground" in Japan, when keeping in mind that Japan has a population of ~130 000 000 inhabitants.

Good to hear that somebody else than me loved DIAMOND and mar maroon, for me those are their best albums. Yes, the new album is a major release. The label (FIREWALL DIV.) is indeed independed, but it has got a major status because of the distribution contract with Sony Music Entertainment Japan Inc.

Actually, he's turning 17 this year. Btw, why did he ripoff SuG Takerus' Vi-Vi-Vi style? The song and voice is good and sound very japanese (the structure of the song), but I think he sounded too unsecure in the actual singing, like he's holding half of his voice potential back. Why hold back when he sings quite good. Btw2, He's living the dream that every western Visual Kei-fan could only dream about to do, but all of them are aware they will never get that dream to reality.

What did you expect from an anime theme band?

Hahaha, are they for real?

Seems like I'm the only one here loving the song.

Yes!! Full version already? Now it's only 2 more days left. I'll have "SUICIDE" on repeat..

I agree, Sadie is indeed a mini album-band!

New sample today, "FEROCIOUS" http://www.12012.jp/mp3/feroucius.mp3

Today they uploaded sample of "MADMAN" (yeah, just looking at the name, you know what kind of song it is) http://www.12012.jp/mp3/madman.mp3

I really hope the album contains at least one ballad!

OMG!! Next week, finally! FORTITUDE was really good. Haters can go away!

Official Site uploaded today a new sample of track "HIDE & SEEK" http://www.12012.jp/mp3/hideseek.mp3

Personally, I would rather want them to disband instead of "going back to their roots".

"DIAMOND" and "mar maroon" are their best albums, they actually were pretty bad during their UNDER CODE-era (just like the other UC bands), now they're just getting better and better and I never thought they were gonna be signed to FIREWALL! Dream came true! Btw, they were already going for this direction on their latest album "SEVEN" so I totally saw this coming, especially when their guitarist left them. About their inspiration, I think sun-krad and the management crew more or less inspired them and gave them ideas for this album. C'mon 12012 and DIR EN GREY are both on same label, of course they're talking with each other.

I WANT MARCH FOURTEEN. NOW. "SUICIDE" is amazing! I'm superexcited!!

Thanks for explaining how to use the coupon. Like you already said, it seems quite impossible to recieve the SHINSHOKU-reprise- CD if I sending in the coupon from Sweden... I doubt that they would send the CD outside of Japan.. But... to make things clear, the coupon CD is only avaliable for those who buy the first print run of REGULAR EDITION (CD-only) and _not_ the Digipack Edition (Limited Edition 2CD). (Read: if you pre-ordered the CD, you must likely recieve a CD from the first print run) Hope you guys didn't think that you neededto buy both editions to get the coupon. I guess they're offering a bonus CD for Regular Edition, because they want people to pre-order the Regular Edition for once, it seems that people mostly ordering Limited Editions. - - - - Btw, I talked to GAN SHIN last week on Facebook, I requested them to release the album in Europe. Maybe we'll have a European Edition of "12012". He answered "A lot of things will happen within the next months - so stay tuned!" and he didn't gave me a "No" for an answer. Either way, I would buy the European edition only just to support them on their European market.

Does anybody know HOW to recieve the bonus CD if ordering the 1st press of Regular Edition? It says it comes with a "coupon" to get the extra song but how to get the actual CD? Do I need to live in Japan to recieve it, or will it be "included" with the jewel case package?

I'm super excited for this album! I want to order the Limited Edition right away, but i'm broke atm, I also want the Regular Edition because the cover artwork for that one looks more fancy than the Limited digipak.

Have I missed something? Didn't he die?

It's NOT too fast. On release day, it's 1 year since Holy Grail and I'm quite surprised they haven't released anything already. Releasing singles in April+June is not too fast, I mean, they've probably had these songs ready for over 1 year now, along with the tracks on the upcoming album. I dunno why most of you think releasing a bunch of CDs at the same time is equal to "low quality"... It don't have to be that. I think it's great, bring it in!

Not me either!!
