No, I have that CD in my CD collection so I haven't missed out on that. Their best albums are still "nu Chemical Rhetoric", "PEEP SHOW" and "M.E.R.R.Y". After that their albums only contained a couple of really good songs (the singles). If they could skip songs like "BURST" and all that chaotic crap that only contains hysterical screams and noisy punk influenced instrumentals, then I'm satisfied. Their music style is very wide, mixing a lot of styles and changing it whenever they like. It's hard to know how their next single/album would sound like because of that. I'm just not that into the chaotic MERRY, it's good though they only put 2-3 chaotic songs on their albums, leaving the rest "listenable". But I'm glad MERRY is not like the GazettE only recycling the same stuff over and over. So I shouldn't complain really Now there's not more to discuss about this..

Well, the only thing you can change on a Mac on your own is more or less RAM-memory and hard drive.

↑ I want MERRY "jazzy" and "bluesy", not punky. Their latest songs has only been a piece of chaotic noise where Gara screams like a maniac. "Beautiful Freaks" were really weak (only a couple of songs were really good), I don't know what they're doing these days. Fukurou was good but when they release new stuff so rarely, I expect them to deliver and they simply don't deliver with ZERO. Maybe their B-side tracks will surprise me. If their name was the GazettE they could get away with this recycled song... Regarding the stuff I said about disbandment message, they will probably leave a disbandment message because of that band member being hospitalized, and the fact Gara previously also has had voice issues. Look at D'espairsRay for example.

I'm not excited at all for this single.. I don't like their punk songs where Gara only screams. If they removed the punk in their songs MERRY would be so much better. Punk is a music style that should be buried 20 years ago. We'll see a disbandment message from these guys soon.

The song is out on YouTube since 2013-10-20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5HrkdAdcO8

Does anyone have a tracklist to share?

I'm glad if the songs at least are remastered. There is no doubt that "PUPA" will be the BEST best album. All their good songs are included in that CD. But I'm sad to see their milking money campaign has started so early. Didn't "THE SWAN" sell enough copies? The best thing would be to join NAYUTAWAVE RECORDS again, or simply go back to FIREWALL DIV. because "12012" were so good! But I see now that "PUPA" och "LARVA" will be release by its copyright owners: "LARVA" Catalog No: FWD-078/079 Released and Distributed by FWD Inc. "PUPA" Catalog No: UPCY-6796 Released and distributed by ユニバーサル ミュージック合同会社 (UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN) They were simply not suitable to be on a independed label.

Solo project or does it have other members?

↑ Yep, that's him!

Thanks, I always read previous posts but this thread is so long I didn't knew they already announced it. I follow their Facebook-page but perhaps I missed it. Great news anyway.

I agree with Arithmetica regarding the Photoshop brushes, the cover artworks are really amateur. They would look better if the brushes were excluded.

I assume there will be a European edition by JPU Records, right? Otherwise, I will go with the cheap Taiwan Edition, it's pretty much the same as the Japanese Regular Edition. No need to pay 10€ extra only to have it printed in Japan... Btw, cover artworks made me disappointed. They've always had portrait pictures of somebody on the cover, now they go with a ugly wolf?

I preordered their European Edition some days ago. It was cheap so why not? Not like I'll see a HQ rip when this comes out anyway ;P

I only think of the VERY nervous Japanese fan of Dakota Fanning and when interviewing her he's like "This is a pen"

Full Music Clip was uploaded today on YouTube: "piripirito piripirito piripirito" I assume nobody will share this single in 320K like everybody will request (the album and latest single was only low quality rips) so I guess I need to preorder this single soon along with their latest album...

They sound pretty good - if they remove Satoshi.

My opinion and impression of this transcode issue is what sai is saying in her "2nd reason": There are those (sorry for bad language) idiots who always by all means want to be first with a brand new -highly requested- album/single and want to have all the credit for "finally" bringing high quality 320kbit-rip, often one-two days earlier than release date. But this only get people angry and unnecessary discussions and bad language will follow. Most of the people here (and on other sources) request high quality CD-rips (320 kbps) and of course these transcode users want to "become the hero" who fulfilling the request and having their username spread all over the web. Some forums have this "points" they get whenever they share stuff, similar to the "Like This"-button here on MH. They want to get credit. It's pathetic. This will actually only put a spoke in wheel for those who STILL request a legit 320kbit CD-rip - why? Nobody wants to waste their personal time fulfilling a request to rip a CD in high quality that's already out as a transcode because most of the downloaders aren't aware it's a transcode - people don't really know (or care) what a transcode is. It's like "Eeh, this album is already out in 320, what's wrong with it?"

Finally new songs, can't wait to pre-order the single! ALso agree with the "UNtruth"-thing, thought the webmaster typed to fast and accidently pressed shift to long. It would look so much better with "Sustain the Untruth" but the song title itself is really awful, sounds like a hardrock song.

Of course I was curious for this full album. "Blessing of the Future" was really a slap in the face-instrumental powerful song so hell yeah I was excited. This album is above my expectations, it's really good! And ZIN, was not sure about him but yeah that guy can definitel sing power metal songs. Instrumental members of Versailles is better off without KAMIJO, and KAMIJO is better off in a solo project = WIN/WIN situation. Best song is "forever with you" I really love this ballad. And of course "Blessing of the Future" is so good, although I don't get the "REMIX" thing, what's the difference between album version and single version? Mastering? Yeah, this is not another "Versailles"-album, this is brand new and fresh! They did this good.

That's cool! I always wondered where you get all this time to add news onto this forum.. Thought that was just something an unemployed could do with all its free time (no offence) I don't even have time to visit Monochrome Heaven daily..

I'm disappointed that they didn't release it on iTunes Store

The album on the pictures are definitely indeed TOXIC. DIVISION has two asian women as cover artwork. This diamond lady is TOXIC.

Well, at least this sound WAY BETTER than that crappy "DEICIDA OF SILENCE" mini album which for me was a big joke. Good to hear they are back on track. Off topic but nice that they updated their OHP with HQ cover artworks (1000x1000) Artwork cover for "THE SWAN" is looking really good!

What makes me tired is all this constantly talk about Lareine...

Haha, cool artwork covers. Makes me think of documents you probably can see in the lab at researchers at some super fancy university Now I expect a upcoming album "IN THE LAB" or a single "MOLECULES" haha
