Idk why i didn't do my review about this mini yet... Hikari no niwa - really nice intro, soft, gives a really good mood to listening to the other songs. Unfortunately so short. It could have 30 seconds more 9/10 Namonaki mori no yumegatari - D tends to do great title songs (it was by Dying Message, Danzai No Gunner, now this one) and it isn't exception of them. Nice main motive, I felt like I was somewhere in Wonderland. What i find also great are riffs. It makes song more climatic. I could even agree with sai that it's like 7th Rose 2.0. 10/10 Canis lupus - not too much to say about it. I think it's quiet boring. Especially chorus. It doesn't fit to the rest. Have to admit it's solid, but it's also nothing what I'll remember for long time. But, the pianos here are great 5/10 Shirarezaru kodomotachi - nice ballad with soft guitars, maybe pianos (i'm not sure here). Deep voice of Asagi ist growing on me, when i listen this song more and more. Well constructed, I like idea of the song. Nothing to say that it's bad. 10/10 Sankaku oyane to aware na koguma - propably the best single from the album. Folky intro which i really enjoy. Untypical for them, but suits idea of the album (Forest, Woods...). It reminds me folky inspirations of korpiklaani. Growling also great. Not chaotic, powerful, but really soft at the same time. No disharmonies Great ^^ 10/10 Like a Black Cat ～mujitsu no tsumi～ - don't know what to think. It's obviosly solid. But nothing so memorable. Kind of Versailles catchy style. Maybe i should go into this song more. But right now... kind of 7/10 Haru no utage - sad and depressing. Beautiful, but too sad to listen to it more than once or twice. Anyway, I see no disadvantages of the song so 10/10 Zou to hito to ari to... - agree. Too short, great to close. Intensive, nice idea. Hope they'll do something like this on next albums/singles! 10/10 Summary: For me masterpiece. Dying massege was bland, danzai no gunner too, now we have nice suprise! Kind of annoying that there's many releases only for japan... Great job, guys! Make your music more international!

My favorite albums/minis/singles of 2012 (order is totally random): 1. D - Namonaki Mori No Yumegatari 2. Korpiklaani - Manala 3. Sabaton - Carolus Rex 4. Exist Trace - Virgin 5. Kaya - Salome (after some long time XD) 6. Moi Dix Mois - Reprise I haven't more right now. If I have something more, I'll tell

I've written in "news" section that I didn't like this release. It's obvious that I explain here why. First song: Rinkaku. Nice music, to the instrumentals here nothing to say it's wrong. Quiet catchy, soft. I like them. But the vocal style... my god. Kyo shouldn't sing this way. His higher vocals for almost all the time (except of some moments where he's singing - let's say - "normally") are more and more irritating. I prefer him growling. It's good for him he can sing so good after so many hospitalizations, but please... The only impression during hearing this song was "oh my god, how long it will be? 2 minutes... 1.30... please, stop this". I give it simply 2/5, because of instrumentals. Second song: Kiri to mayu -2012-: bghbbbfhgfrrrhhooohfhbbhfbfhfhhfbfho yaaaaaaaaoooooohbhfbhffbhgbfhgb yaoooooohhhbghghbohhhbfhbohfbhgbhgofhgb <----- and so one. Did I miss something? Awww, yea... somewhere "Kiri to Mayu!". Oh. I thought it was Tsumi to batsu vol. 3, but didn't expect this song. It's brutal, no doubts. The mastering and idea of re-recording just terrible. It's definitely not to listen. 0/5 Not intrested in remix at all after such a... original experience. To be honest, it's even worse than MOO. MOO had at least a concept. What we have here? Nothing. I miss old dir en grey from withering to death/uroboros era. I have no idea what happened to them, experiment in this way doesn't fit them. It's waste of money for this single to buy and... Yea. Don't expect too much from their next release in April.

Totaly unexpected... First nothing for a very long time, then a single, new mini... I wouldn'y be suprised if they announce new full album soon. To be honest I'm not really excited. I like some of their stuff but recent works aren't as good as f.ex. Uroboros. I didn't like MOO too much and i didn't like Rinkaku either. If it will be something like this again I'll propably give up with DEG. They're important to me in some way and will ever be, but CD after CD i'm looking more and more down to them, not up, as I usual have been doing for a very long time.

If it's real it's great ^^ nice suprise

Rite now only Glitter doesn't work. But to this style, woow! I'm impressed! Much better than Salome, i kind of like Kaya-doll ^^

Happy B-day!

I'd like to see the covers, but it's a problem with my broswer or something with site, that i can't see pictures? Only a box with a word "image"...

I was saying that Aristocrat's Symphony and The Love From A Dead Orchestra are from their indie era, but God Palace sure isn't. Sorry then, I was thinking you're still talking 'bout actual TL

Only two of them are. Sadly can't agree, Zess. None of them is from indie era. Even Ascendead Master is from first major single. Or I missed something. Anyone will be purchasing this? Or only the last song? I'm thinking about it, but, well... Maybe the last song. I'll purchuase afaI have ability to do this (I won't order whole CD). And then will upload. High hopes for it...! But, to be honest... Why making a compilation for 2013 if they're hiatusing in 2012? Kind of poor joke, still like them in some way but would be better if they had made a compilation for 5th anniversary, then kind of mini album, which will include rose, rhapsody of the darkness songs and three new ones (or even two, but NEW)

To the rest... well, what for 4 songs from last album? And again destiny -the lovers-, no "Libido" or "Dessert Apple"... Little shame about this. But wanna hear new song! XD

Pretty excited about 14th song. One new, hope it'll be masterpiece (btw, Teru composed one song which was never released... Maybe it's the time?)

Kyotarou, machst du Musik in dem Sinne von dem Singen oder Komponieren? Meiner Meinung nach ist schwer, etwas zu komponieren, damit es alles zusammen gut klingt. Ich schatze solche Menschen sehr hoch - selber hab ich vielmals probiert, nie hat es geklappt. Oder Singen - auch muss Talent sein!

Ait. Maybe quality 128 is not so good, if you can rip it yourself just do it! Argument about "cruel" bitrate 192 is not so convincing for me. I understand ppl want to do a promotion or something. But it's up to them if they would mind sharing better rips or not. It doesn't matter if it will be 2013 or 2345. It's not bad. Better have kind of this rip and try to find better (or buy CDs) than having nothing, but it's a little OT... to the transcodes problem. I see this interesting: How should it work in practice?

Agree in some parts. About staff member, about cleaning the random song thread and a poll. I understand the idea of random songs of found in the web, not on youtube Ryu, why so? Quality loss is not that bad if someone doesn't care so much about it. But making quality higher than it really is is pathetic and stupid. The rest I find OK.

I read all the posts, observe this topic, I dunno why i didn't write something here by now. I think that banning transcodes is a fight with windmills - so give up with this idea. It can be tagged as [TRANSCODE], as Champ and others said, but let me be honest: transcodes are quiet unfair. If we have a file in 128 or even 192 kbps, upload it in this quality and add information about bitrate! Who wants to download these files will do it anyway and there will be no more complains! Transcoding to higher bitrate is making a fool ova person. The person believes in good quality and has a... yeah, what he/she has? Something more-less in the size, nothing more (or even worse) in the sound. My piece ov advice: Just be fair. Of course someone couldn't know, that the file is a transcode (by copying and pasting links to DL section). Instead of doing this - check it once, then upload by yourself and tag it properly, give credits! Problem is solved! What about forum for transcodes: it's definitely bad idea. It will be empty! Noone will use it! If so, what for this kind of forum/subforum? A topic with kind of "Help, is that a transode or not?" wouldn't be enough?

Hej wam wszystkim! Każdy kraj ma swój malutki temat, dlaczego więc nie założyć malutkiej, forumowej Polonii? Polacy, łączmy się, poznawajmy, dyskutujmy ze sobą na przeróżne tematy związane z Japonią i nie tylko, a także pokażmy, że my też uczestniczymy zarówno w fandomie V-Kei, jak i w życiu naszej forumowej społeczności! Do dzieła zatem! Zachęcam bardzo serdecznie do udzielania się!

Nix fort seit sehr langer Zeit? Mein Gott, muss nachgeholt werden! xD Kyotarou, ich hab'nen Freund, der sehr verrückt über schweizerdeutsch ist. Er interessiert sich daran und hatte großer Spaß beim Sprechen auf dem Unterricht. Uns're Lehrerin konnte ihm kaum verstehen. Klingt einfach toll, vielleicht soll ich auch statt hochdeutsch ein bisschen Dialekt aus Österreich oder Schweiz kennen lernen. Vielleicht sollen wir auch ein bisschen Thema ändern. Wir gehen um die Sprache herum und so... Vielleicht etwas was mal ganz anderes. Welche Hobbys haben Sie? ^^

To be honest, the last Versailles album is not exactly that, what I was expecting from them. I'll write only a general opinion - many of the songs there included were quiet bland and shouldn't have been chosen to the farewell! Starting with "Prelude" - what for? Re-recording of an intro by adding echos? Making it incompatible with the second song? Is it really difficult for such a good composer to make a new short intro? A joke or what? Then the songs I kind of really dislike - Rose (all the time i'm asking the same question: Haven't I heard it somewhere?), Illusion (what the heck? Definitely not their style, it doesn't suit the album. I appreciate that the song is for fans but apart from this... neee, bland, melancholic. Nothing for me), Holy Grail -Amoroso- (The second faith & decision, but a long shorter and much impoverished) and Sympathia (any differences? What for to do re-record of the song, that was quiet ok?). Ayakashi and Rhapsody of the darkness is what I kind of like. Ayakashi because of it's orientality and Rhapsody, which reminds me of older Versailles' songs. Edge of the world I found weird, but refreshing. They weren't doing something like this one. Idk if it's quality problems or remastering, but sometimes it's hard to listen to it. Brave and Truth liked really much. Typical for the versailles. And almost for me masterpiece: Created beauty. It doesn't matter it has 10 minutes! It's brilliant. Listenable, nice music motives and lyrics. About this song i was worried the most, but fortunately for Hizaki it was good. So, when you want, you can compose something really good. See? I give the album about 6 of 10 points. They really could do better before hiatus. I know, label, timetables, concerts, but... Yeah. Hope they will return with new powers, new tunes, which will be equal good or even better than their last releases...

Sounds great! Why spent my last money for stupid thing? T.T

Great, I miss them much. It's easier to search for Cds you are interested in ^^

i have in outbox lyrics to some versailles. hope it will arrive soon

I think it would be Tsumi To Batsu, but remixed. But excited about new song ^^

But why is that so, that it's almost impossible to buy online in europe from USA? T.T I wanted to buy it T.T But yeah. Let's hope someone could share it later

I don't know, where to leave it, just in case you want. Especially for admins/mods. I don't know much, but I wanna help and do sth for MH, for the board, for you. Like this place very much. If I could do sth, even a small thing (idk, archive sth, search, tag, whatever what is not too much technical (i have no knowlegde in this)), I offer my help. It's not a suggestion, just information, in case you want. I just leave this information to tell, that I'm ready to help make this place better. Best wishes! If it's wrong thread, move it please
