Not what i was expecting at all but i like it. Already preordered new album on cdjapan.

Did they even announce the release of the MV? I don't recall anyone saying anything about it. Anyway! I wasn't expecting them to use a mellow track to promote the new album, but that makes me even more excited for the bangers we'll be getting next month

they weren't exactly responding 2 u either kittygurl they just ran with tha opportunity
 

 
know what tropes are better kept avoided in the dir en grey cloaca on here and you'll be good ❤️
 

He put out an album last year and he was the vocalist for this season's Kamen Rider opening theme.
Apparently just did a song with pop singer ASCA, so he's been doing stuff pretty regularly.
 

did they pour the production budget for this straight into kaoru's bank account?..

gurrrrl srsly stop with the preaching, their gya are not ojisan grandmamas who'll be put on a ventilator following the gig
 
Japanese hostess clubs and push for local tourism are a bigger deal with COVID and no one literally gives a shit
 
I'm not approving what they do with the coin though, from a respectable major VK band to freewill rat status pocketing fangirl tips whew

Cases are still rising in Japan however, so in order to actually be able to perform, artists have had to perform in venues with limited capacity, take temperatures, practice social distancing, have hand sanitizer, as part of government guidelines. In response to this, MERRY have decided to accept donations from fans to support the tour during the pandemic, mainly the first 6 dates of the tour in Tokyo. They specifically asked for donations from politicians, government workers, and the elderly, and will need enough for supplies (masks, thermometers, disinfectants, etc.), be able to have two concerts per day to reduce audience numbers, and to possibly install a plastic sheet between the audience and the stage through each date of the tour, even if the total donation amount is not sufficient (some safety measures will still be carried out). They also add if concerts do end up cancelled, the money will go to future band activities instead. And instead of opening a crowdfund page, they instead put out bassist Tetsu's personal bank info to donate to since he's apparently the manager of the band now. 
 
According to a fan I follow on twitter (who basically summed this all up), this is the band's response to the government putting out the mentioned guidelines to artists and venues but doesn't really provide them support after they've been forced to cancel concerts for months (see: Mikansei Alice, albeit that's a whole other issue). What is also apparent is how the band members themselves don't really ask for donations on their livestreams, nor do they think they'll receive that much anyway??? It appears as if they'll follow the guideline so far as to provide masks and sanitizers, but as for reducing audience capacity, holding two lives in one day, the fucking plastic sheet...is a bit much, even for them. From how I interpret it, they want to keep the show going as safe as possible, and still have a normal rock concert, and to give Kenichi a proper sendoff after 18 years with them.
 
The original statement *omitted the bank info here

Again, this is how I understood this whole thing, while seeing responses from fans on twitter (and some are pretty negative as well, *cough*JPfandom*cough*), but if I'm missing something here, pls comment :v

Yuuki performed last night, heres his look and setlist for it. No footage has been posted yet sadly 

ummm okay wig I'm stealing #♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ for my sig

X-Japan
 

all of them x
 
Namely Megaromania when 3/5 of them went to do a quick rehash of Lin before getting fucked over.

thank u!
 
loved what I heard & can't wait to hear butchered clever sleazoid with a 6 minute long kyopera acapella breakdown set to the cracking sound of burning unsold TIW vinyls.

i hope toshiya launches an official only-fans to commemorate this release!

I mean if lynch spontaneously released a 3 track single after stopping doing singles for several album cycles why wouldn't these heffas spare us some tunes? I can always hope :')

thank u!
