oh no that sucks i hate it???? bassists are replaceable af but they didn't even bother coughing out a decent PR lie for this announcement out of respect for their fans. he was so pretty too!

**same direction as new XJapan album appurrently: c u in 2030!!!!!

ended Retsu and revived art kei with one PV, sweet!

thank u for repping merry on this list - I couldn't recall a single recent track of them while writing mine, and apparently in the month that passed since no one else did I hope I'll get into some nostalgia re-listening over this winter season.

ngl i was expecting this

he's crediting a separate composer for this creation so idk?? I don't follow any of them closely and 8fds were mostly fun to shitpost over while feeling their music do the brain rot, but koichi seems to grasp the "I'm gonna give mejibray stans everything they want" vibe better and more timely than lord of the tragic guyliner, as evidenced:

couple more examples that didn't jump right out but still are worth noting: kazuya from deadman had a solo release in 2008 under the name gift with a number of various featuring vocalists: gift - a man's walking is succession of falls and on a vaguely more morbid note, daisuke's posthumous solo album was finalized with a bunch of various FWD affiliated sangers: 大佑と黒の隠者達 - 漆黒の光 Asagi and his solo works heavily rely on featuring musicians having no permanent backing up line-up on the same ojisan feature cliche - mediocre darlings legendary 69 debuting with sultry chanteuse hakuei and mafioso career killer Misa: before quickly downgrading vocal role to Yusa and some other neverbeens, and staying in this form till now:

so it's like an equivalent of community college associates in VK label management instead of a recommended ivy league PhD?

mom can we hire Hora to produce my solo single? we have Hora at home

his vocals were a perfect fit for avelcain. rands mostly got too ambitious for his very limited natural talent he doesn't seem keen on upgrading so most of the time he outright sucked at whatever he attempted there with a few exceptions that were basically AC redux.

so is he, calm ur cockoro

when vk bands lose a composer they typically never re-issue whatever that person has created for them in the same shape and form, and oftentimes won't play same songs live. I don't see them re-arranging various era songs and releasing them as covers given their cReAtIvE『 ≠ 』dIfFeReNcEs and the overall comatose state either.

sounds like legendary 69 hakuei era tbh and idk how this is needed nice visuals i guess??

he's not liked by stans and his past band members (who unfollowed him while staying in touch with Sho) on the consistent account of his twat behaviour, good luck ignoring that elephant in the room everyone here tries to point out 2 u

they do features once in a while... it's typically an ojisan member helping a start-up band or an approaching irrelevancy act to get up from their knees: miyavi's debut lives with Pata and later having a sugizo feature before parting ways with PSC also come to mind, or random one time session bands that play for a night or two and never record anything. soan project was a temporary project with bandmen from various active/semi-active bands that released stuff in two different line-ups so it's not the same, but it still more or less fits the mold crystal lake fronteuse seams to contribute his vocal effort pretty lavishly around sukekiyo b-sides and bonus disks are stuffed with features starwave is often shat on, but their acts provide more or less asinine self-covers with different vocalists every once in a while unless it's a legacy act providing the feature, there's little point in doing this in vk: gya stanning is typically focused on a single band or a particular member and his projects, and most bands regularly playing/socializing together would rather do split VA comp albums (which as a tradition seems to fade away as legacy labels close and major ones typically not bothering with this at all.)

because you clearly don't navigate the space of stale dimlim drama that retsu himself has crafted with his shitty band handling and ego/drug issues over past year presenting everything through your idealized stan retelling

rets get letarded (in here)

their first comeback single has a very nostalgic sound. I hope they're inspired enough to compose a full album of stuff that is on par, or better, while keeping the throwback jush going.

teasing their career burial live with a homophobic slur, i c you're dead to me, irrelevant histrionic abortions x

slay ussss kingggggg

his voice legit fits the enka genré better than this homage mess?????

where the hell did he dump both of those albums tho, I was just looking for didathgaz cover to shitpost the other week and her entire social media presence is GONE queen of putting up an illusion!!!!

ha tsuzukukiyo era hasth commencedT.... the cringe spell of it all is on the out of this world levels of unreal tho, this is truly for all of u 8flopsbps haters
