They really know how to look cool in suits! Wish I could go to this live, though ;w;

raimu looks so little and grumpy, thats so cute ww

and reiki's hair color♡

look look look (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

holy shit

and its a shame that the coolest kids of nagoya, takamasa and satoru, won't ever return even in my wildest dreams...

im also frustrated that toki won't participate, i thought i saw him in someone's twitter not so long ago, but i might mistake. but asanao is cool too, i actually thought of how nice it would be if aie and asanao did something together.

where's kazuya tho ._.

wonder if it will be official disbandment finally

starwave is such a mess omg

can't even tell which one i love more

Maybe they did a 5.1 mix ? That would explain why the mix is the bad. Because 95% of people don't have a 5.1 system. They should do at least 2 version, a normal stereo for most people and 5.1 for others

dunno what 5.1 mix is, but unless all people in japan have 5.1 system it would be very stupid to release something that 99% of your listeners won't hear as a regular edition. if it's a rare thing in japan too, it'd be smarter to put 5.1 version as a bonus in a limited edition, or release type c, or something.

I wouldn't say "despicable"... Considering VK is marketed in Japan, the type of audience, the importance seemingly irrelevant stuff like Furitsuke plays in VK culture, the whole hierarchy systems implemented among fans, it doesn't surprise me much.
VK bands are marketed as somewhat exotic boy-bands and aimed towards teen girls (remember Kizu's first teaser messages). When was the last time you saw teen girls in the west go into deep analysis over Justin Bieber, One Direction or whatever boy-band's musical prowess? Nah, they care about the lyrics being relatable and the music "dance-able". It is us foreigners who care deeply about the music. And I am sure plenty of Japanese fans too, but probably they won't discuss it where it won't really matter, since social media seems to focus on more shallow discussions.

 

I can't say these are facts, my experience in Japan is limited and I do not live there, though I know many people who do and I've heard from many that most gyas don't care about the music. I've even encountered foreign gya who didn't seem to care about the music either so it wouldn't be exclusive to Japanese fans.

i see your point, and i kinda understand what vk scene is about, the particular thing that is bothering me is, like you said, giving a few listens to songs so that you can go to live and see cute boys and then go back to whatever you listen. like, what?  about analysing, i have nothing against justin bieber and other idols, and i don't think that unless you don't analyse the music you listen to you're a poser, i just thought that if you've ever listened to kizu before you couldn't help but notice that the sound is different somehow so it would be only natural to think like "huh? something strange is going on here"

btw i think furitsuke is cute and fun .w.

I keep hearing from foreign gya in Japan that most VK fans in Japan don't give a shit about the music and sometimes don't even listen to their bands outside the livehouse. So it doesn't surprise me they wouldn't give a shit about the mixing at all, many will probably grab copies for instores, give it a few listens to practise furi and go back to whatever they actually do listen. That is, if what I've heard about the average gya is correct.

well there are a few comments concerning the music on youtube but foreigners discuss technical part a lot more thoroughly as far as i can see. 

if what you heard is true, vk scene and its audience is even more despicable than i thought lmao. i wont be surprised if such gyas exist, but if it's a portrait of an average gya then...well

maybe i am searching in wrong places, but i can find absolutely nothing about what the japanese think of the productiond, do they even care i wonder

i get the point that it's supposed to sound like live, but it's at least unusual

as for myself, i've decided not to listen to the new songle until my copy arrives, just gave a couple of listens to 東京 and it's a solid ballad imo. about the production, my headphones suck so i can't get full experience, but i love how raimu's voice sounds, guitars are lacking tho.

u know ur tired when u unconsciously start writing ur first language word in hiragana

so they are major huh? didnt think their label was considered as major

what is known about the damage label btw? who owns it?

uh-oh alarm situation here

this is so cute  bp releases've been really nice lately

oh and of course the legend we must never forget 🙏

i love when there's a lot of going on in the looks but those peacock feathers and something on the vocalist's head look so wrong

the others look very cute tho

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.

and the pioneers of it will be merry with their あたしは捨て猫.

as for the trailer, if the chorus will be nice and aggressive enough i'd love the song, can't say for now. i don't dig the look either, it looks sloppy in the photo, but the video looks cool. kinda fresh for vk

that is, i'll laugh when they fucking slay us with their new pv

i think it's just an okay-ish b-side kizu song, they've always had ones, 美しき日々 or 悪い夢 for example. it's just everyone was waiting for a hit song, but it seems it's yet to come.

i didn't see that creature at first lol
