    IMHO this is yet another the case of the "NOT HEAVY = HORRIBLE" tired trope, similar to what happened with DEZERT.
     
    And yes, while I was also expecting more, there's also a lot of raw good ideas here, that could definitely have used a couple months more to flourish. After Rijin there was Kidoairaku, so I'l treat it as what it is: a conceptual release, an experiment to further polish the identity they are looking for.

    I also will react to this topic.
     
    I've listened to more songs on their youtube.. and all their previous songs are just  bad, shit visual kei music.. not even amazing rock quality, just typical boring visual kei, with no heart with no feelings just.... no.
     
     
    but the new song...
    The beat, the melody, the kinda vocal sound...
    It all mix nicely together as a perfect mix.... it really though your heart.
    Truly 10/10 song.
    And believe me it is. 
     
    Lately I only listen to masterclass rock music. music who is played by bandguys who are longer in the music world as those young dudes. music of people who know what music is.  I follow lot's of "legend Japanese rock stars (which most of you never did hear off tho lol)"  
    So because of that I became very picky of what GOOD music is. 
     
     
    However, I call this song really a master piece. it's a perfect song, easy to like, it touch your heart.
    vocal fits perfectly to the melody....
     
     
    But by listening to their previous songs,, I kinda doubt their their album will only contain this masterclass songs. 
     
     
    If they will release more music like this... then I surely will support them.
    I'm looking for this kind of visual kei bands, who really put everything into music.
     
     
    if you dislike this kind of sound,
    well then. you really don't have a good taste for music.

    I think some people are missing the meaning of "conceptual" in the " MISC is a conceptual album" sentence.
     
    I mean, of course it's different from CHE DO A RA, shouldn't it be?
     
    And this notable confusion of directions, mixed bunch of ideas being throwed around would actually fit the concept of MISC., as in short of Miscellaneous, right?
     
    I'm pretty excited for this, is shaping to be a pretty interesting experience

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this brand of indie/math (done to this extent) unprecedented in the VK scene? The sound itself may not be inherently unique, but contextually, you gotta give these boys their props.
     
     
     
    This is just the style. I can understand how it might sound chaotic and senseless to some ppl tho...and it may be that I'm biased because my ears are just acclimated to music like this.
     
    But to me, it sounds like a glitchy/IDM-like approach to composing, and you hear this type of thing done in ling tosite/Tk's solo stuff and haisuinonasa, amongst many others. The sokoninaru comparison is especially apt because they've been REALLY hammering, and in my opinion - overdoing-, this style lately.
     
    This type of composing can get REALLY tedious if overused, but I think DIMLIM did a fine job in this song of keeping things cohesive, catchy, and interesting, and not just being flashy for the sake of it. It's not an easy balance to strike, and trust me, in comparison to a lot of the stuff out there that takes a similar approach, DIMLIM are doing this style justice. Their VK leanings just make it even more special imo.
     
    That said, we'll see how well this plays out on the album...

    NEiN's interview was coordinated originally by me with help of John @inartistic we both made this interview our first interview together. 
    Since NEiN is a band who fits also to less visual bands, we decided later on to cross post it also on JAPANESE ROCK'N'ROLL.
     

    Full interview in English can be read here.
