The way they distribute this pv is pretty creative.
They use「AirDrop痴漢」(Airdrop Perverts) method to distribute the youtube link at Shinkiba Studio Coast live house.
(AirDrop痴漢 is a phenomenon in japan where some sicko you don’t know tries to use Apple’s AirDrop function to send you a picture of their dicks, because most people airdrop setting is open to "everyone")

Not even a bit of lazy, VK scene gave us our first Kizu copycat of the year. Whoever wrote this song -in the last 5+years I started to believe that almost every A-side from any band of the scene is ghost-written- did an actually great job, mimicking their metalcore guitars, cheese string background and traditional Japanese harmonies and melodies, all packaged with a dramatic-red inspired visual aesthetic. Even the PV seems very well shooted and edited, much above the standard of our average indie VK.
 
But hey, in the case of gulu gulu, producing formulaic music in this sense isn't already bad news, because if you want to copy Kizu you'll have to put on your best effort and money on good songwriting, tech-skills, costumes, PV and live production. So, I think we can expect really good stuff from these guys... although it's not over the top to expect for them to develop a more genuine sound in the future.
 

cuzzz they broke out THE P I N K P A N T H E R THEME and everything !!
 
what in the fuck, at least that prop shit doesn't looks like it cost anyone any extra funds!
anyone know - do they just not have enough material for the live set? Is this regs for them?
I KIND of like these guys but I didn't think their band concept was doing shit like this lol!
 
 
 

I'll be shocked if this band is still together by the end of the year.

Awesome track
Horrible look

that homeless ruki cosplayer look is nagl & they all look like they run to community gym showers and library washrooms for their hygiene fix
 
song is not bad but like...random as hell??? did issei give up on trying to come up with anything remotely coherent or what

Probably from diru live since sho, mio, issei are all huge diru fanboy.

Wow, magician kei😆
I love how awkward they are, lack of any showmanship and the audience was awed into silence by their bad performance. Even this digest video last almost 10 mins...
I can't imagine how long this magic show is and the anguish that these audience experienced.

This is exactly the feeling that I get. There were so many parts where harsh vocals would fit and make the songs even more versatile.

The music are masterfully compose, but I still kinda let down by the vocalist KAZ. He seems can't do harsh vocal very well? From this album and LAST CALIX songs I listen to, every time he use harsh vocal need tons of effect to make it sound kinda "harsh". I just think some of the songs in this album would be even better if they add a little harsh vocals to spice it up.

I get that all of you made the right choice and deleted the electronic cheodara intro from your playlists, but let's not pretend those edm tracks are worse than the average vk BGM fare
 
愛憎につき… video had two actors + they didn't look like clowns so their costume budget evidently got upgraded??

I would call this anything but generic (and I listen to a metric fuckton of -core music). Each instrument in each part of the song is expertly layered in the mix and they complement each other perfectly. No repetitive drumming patterns, outstanding guitarwork with some nice tones, a little bit of ambiance here and there, with a competent vocalist on top of it all. The only thing missing is just a little bit more grit in the vocals, maybe some screams, but it's still an amazing song anyway. I'm really excited to hear more.

The live limited edition will have 5 bonus songs.

This EP is just beyond tasty. That perfect blend of technical and catchy makes for a wonderful, easy listen, while retaining that deep-cutting progressive edge.

I agree, its poorly made, what I mean "common" is that these S.E. doesn't indicate any musical direction change, it's just V kei cliche. Sorry for my broken English😝
 
It also not a good indicator of their composing skills, at least not fully. These two genre require some totally different skills, so even some of the talent composer in the scene fail to do it well.
 
It really show how little budget they are. I like vanitas PV the most, but compare to issei era's PV production value (Vanitas=white background+couch/Issei era pv=location shooting+studio shooting+actress), you can literary tell how much mitsu money issei is received.😂

This is funny because dimlim is basically the one band MH agreed on since DEZERT and even the slightest indicator of them POSSIBLY going to shit is #triggering...
edm-gate is wild hahahaha truely paranoia (they are basically the last band remaining in post 2017 vk that is listenable so I don't blame yall)

Sure it's common, but something being "common" isn't necessarily and indicator of "goodness" for itself.
In my case, it never came as something "good" to me the insistence of bandoman on using cringe-worthy EDM curtains. And sure, that could be a good indicator of the bands composing skills, along with other stuff that may show the lack of inspiration, like the rising dependence on formula-stuff for the whole work (music, visuals, lyrics, live performance, etc.). So, yeah, we can agree on oneself actually waiting for the release to have an opinion, but... man, look at the sloppy EDM and horrible video editing those PVs have. At least the hair and make-up work are pretty gorgeous... I really hope that the reason behind this is actually low budget.
Btw, there are really few examples of actually well crafted and used EDM in the scene. 

捨て猫のロンド (Sute Neko no Rondo)
 
So after xaa xaa’s sad doggo song, they make this abandon cat song, I hope its planned move by both of them to start the animal abuse kei revolution.

DEZERT outsold this animu trash...NEXT!

"I'm pissed because people don't listen to what I want them to listen to and therefore are inferior and so is their music taste".
 
Edit: Yes, I agree there is superior indie shit, but there's two factors that weight in Dezert's favor; an already existing fondness for the artist and nostalgia, both factors that usually keep most people from ditching certain music and moving on to something else.
