I'm quite fond of DIAURA's Focus album cover.
 
Regular:

 
Limited edition:

 
And how could I forget DELUHI's Vandalism album cover? It's my go-to profile pic on a lot of sites.

 
Also, every Lycaon album cover with Yuuki on it because daaaamn.

9GOATS BLACK OUT - Karte
this was very beautiful to me. sonically and aesthetically. it's probably one of my favourite vk releases of all time.

Really always enjoyed Moran's single/album covers. I love their L'oiseau blue single and their All Time Best album covers.
 
 
Also thought of Kagrra's last album. Beautiful and enticing to look at its duality theme (between the two different versions).
 
 

I've always been fond of the cover for Downy's 5th Untitled album:
 
Not only is it interesting to look at, but something about it just captures their bleak, dystopian sound so well.
 

 
 
The cover to sleepy.ab's "palette" is another favorite:
 

i couldn't find this topic. if it exists feel free to close as necessary.

i know there's a "worst jrock cd cover" thread, but how about ✨best? ✨
spreading those positive vibes.


one of my favourites has always been protoplasm by rentrer en soi. i've always dug the photo, and ryo's heels tbh. also i think this is when they first stylized their logo differently, and i stan (stun?)



another gem is 4u -mary gold- by d'air. it's pretty simplistic but i've always found it endearing. their covers kind of went downhill from here tbqh but the bops forever remain.



for something more current, i'm really digging the inferiority complex and narcissism cover by rands. i think the overall design is pretty gorgeous. kinda wishing they had done it in a digipak format, though.

u don't get into it, u let it take over your mind, heart, and soul, and just vibe to it x

Loving the album cover and the look! They really milked the hell out of that flower brush/filter in Photoshop tho...  

pls turn the lights back off

Mei has a new band (probably a session band, or a solo project) titled  烏名 鳴と不愉快な仲間達.
Vo. 烏名 鳴
Gt. 光 
Gt. kazari
Ba. 緋雨 (ex. Grieva)
Dr. カタセ ケイ (ex. Balalaika)

If the aim is to prevent people from buying into conspiracies, they're only hurting their cause by legitimizing that the powers that be are trying to censor "the truth". The conspirators will just take this as evidence of corporate level collusion.
 
If a conspiracy is really nonsense, you don't need to suppress it, because most people will already think its nonsense (as demonstrated by the two posts above me).

For a moment there I got confused and thought Influenza is some random small kote-kei band's name. Would be a cool band name tho.
 
Influenza 1st デモテープ「Because of Influenza」リリース！

Lots of good recommendations listed. Of the bands already covered I'm personally watching and invested in Kizu, Mathilda, DIMLIM, GRIMOIRE, Verxina, Mamireta and Asty.
フシアナ is a new band I'm paying attention to that I see a lot of potential in and hasn't gotten a lot of attention. They aren't doing anything new or complicated and just like Asty their vocalist has some obnoxious moments, but overall their first mini and previous output as ハクビシン showcase a well executed throwback to mid-late 2000s kote-osa that's been missing from the scene for awhile now. If anyone is digging Mathilda's music and can make some allowances for vocal performance then I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already.
 

I can't put down Resident Evil 2: remake. It's so fucking fabulous, I feel like a young teen again. I played the original RE2 to death, and it was definitely my favourite of the series. The remake is really up there. My only complaint is that I wish certain segments were longer. It felt like they may have been a bit rushed to complete the last act or so of the game. That said, I'm still having so much fun playing it. Finished Leon A on Hardcore, working on Claire B also on Hardcore now. Hardcore ain't a joke, that's for sure!

'Ten' x 'Ten' is actually a secret code for the number of disbands this guy needs to make happen before retirement

Of course Tenten, we knew that, don't worry
