Haruto

Somehow, seeing the logo and the line-up of the concert, my first thought was Aryu of Xibalba. But let's see where this is heading!

Rumor has it he knocked up a girl. Still counts as family issues lolololol. I always liked Satoshi, but I really furrowed my brows when reading he was back with ERIZA. Like: dude what. Then again, he's talented as fuck, so that makes ERIZA more promising. Don't curr about his babies.

That actually doesn't answer the question at all, hahahah. Akane is being a big troll here. Because the person asked リリス instead of リリース, he read it as 'Lilith', not 'release'. What follows is him talking about Lilith and Adam. Well, the whole point of the thing is: there's nothing new about the release and the member keep every information secret for now. All they said regarding FATAL ERROR RACE was 'Please wait patiently' and 'it's still a secret' to the more detailed questions.

This preview is damn awesome. I'm so excited for this. I just wonder if this song will be on CD at all? Since it's called Scarlet of the guilty but the three tracks are named differently. Or maybe they just didn't point out which song it was, welp. Anyways, this is some good stuff. At this rate, please keep experimenting.

I think in order to release an album, he needs a 'steady' line-up, people he can work with. Of course I don't know what the future will bring, but right now it seems he tries to reach more fans by doing many lives, rather than coming up with a solid release. And their label is self-produced, right? So who knows if Yuuki can afford it already. But I'd be moooore than happy to have a release we can actually buy though. Until then, waiting and cheering.

I think they stated right from the beginning that he will still participate in all important lives in 2015.. till August or something like that? Must be weird as fuck after his statement. For both him and the band.

^ Rumor has it that D.I.D aren't all too fond of that 'cover' and can't stand Nihilizm, accusing them of stealing. Nihilizm force a smile when D.I.D are mentioned like 'oh yeah woops, well...' and fans constantly mock that 'happy little accident', haha. Nevertheless I love their stuff, I loved their latest single (especially the B-side track OBSERVE SILENCE) and I'm excited for the next one. They can do well enough without covering stuff!

This guy's been abroad to the states for a long time, he better know some decent English. Though it's getting worse the longer he's in Japan. I remember that early releases have almost completely correct English lyrics. Not that Hiro is a big poet... but... yeah...

I don't know if you're talking to me in particular, but still, I think Emily is some of the worst they have ever done. The song is completely off-key and gives me the creeps to say it bluntly. I have a huge problem with Tsuzuku's voice and tend to enjoy Mejibray only when a harsh rhythm and growls etc make up for that. I really enjoy Sadisgate for example. I've even seen them live and it was fun, but the ballads will never get to me. But I know some people love that raw feeling in Visual kei music and enjoy vocalists like him, so this is really only a matter of taste. Not hating on Mejibray.

Why does the chorus sound like a slowed down version of BORN's Devilish of the Punk? I have never been a fan of Mejibray's ballads, for I don't like Tsuzuku's voice all too much, for me it works better with hard riffs and more variety and harsh emotions. Then it's listenable. I'm the 'from time to time I like a song' type when it comes to Mejibray. Now the PV was..... pretty cliché. I mean it was okay. But what bothers me a lot is Tsuzuku's emotionless face. Creepy dead eyes without a single motion featuring a ballad? Meh.

you can dance to everything, if you're brave enough.

Well, ena is the older brother from Masato (ex. CATFIST, now in Belle). This would make him Yo-shiT's younger brother, too. Though I never heard anything about that. With ena and Masato it's obvious though and they talked about that several times. Just to add this, thanks for the list!

damn, I wish this session was the actual line-up of ERIZA. It's flawless.

So does Yoshi. This would be SO lovely.

This be pleasing my eyes and ears. Yes.

This doesn't sounds nearly as generic as their last previews (while the whole releases always had their charm, even if it was just a few songs standing out.) So I'm pretty excited for this, kinda gives me 'older Awoi' vibes. Too bad it's going to be their last one. They will be missed.

Super excited for this! And I think, even though he'll be on stage, he'll still be on medication and receive treatment or therapy or whatever is needed in his case. But I believe that for someone like Akane, being on stage and expressing himself, is also a form of therapy. Shit started to go down when Satoshi left and they were forced to go on a break. I'm no therapist or expert by far, but he's so passionate about his music, I think it's a positive addition to his life and his struggle, even though it's also a challenge. I liked the preview, too! And yay for that Windows Movie Maker video, hehe.

Metal kei while wearing those granny-curtains? I doubt it. Also as far as I know Kokoro and kazshi have been Catfist's main composers... Guess this is just going to be some Yumehito pop-stuff. Not a fan of him or his music, neither of the vocal, so I doubt this will be my cup of tea. What a shame he got his hands on Masato, I have been side-eyeing Kakashi so hard already. Butthurt Catfist-Fan right here.

So this is UnsraW + D.I.D. more like: right in the feels.

They do appear in there. I think it is mentioned that the female protagonist listens to 'weird/dark rock music' (or something like this, I don't know how exactly they word it) and then the viewer gets to see 3 seconds of Yuuki's face, from a live. Accompanied by a growl. That's all. Nothing more. They're featured in the credits for these few seconds.

I don't get the hate either. I liked it, still do. It might not be their strongest release, but there are some songs I really enjoy like DEVIL, BULLET or PHOENIX. Having the whole CD on repeat there's not a song I don't like and even if some don't stick out and might appear 'boring', it's very listenable in its entirety. Metalcore suits them and it doesn't sound as 'off' as in their previous releases. I think the combination between catchy Rock and harsh Metalcore is more smooth, maybe with a few exceptions. To keep it short - Basically I'm whole heartedly agreeing with the person above me. I've grown to like it more with every listen and as lynch.-fan for years I'm not disappointed. (Like I was with INFERIORITY COMPLEX and EXODUS. Didn't like these at all. They were kinda 'all over the place'.) I'd say 7/10.

I must admit I don't listen to Lycaon at all. I heard a few old songs, I heard a few new songs. I'm not talking about their general style of music or themes, but mostly about Karma's way of singing that sounds like Yuuki's. And I find it obnoxious, sadly.

Unpopular opinion coming up. I actually really liked them at the beginning, been playing the 蛇と姑獲鳥 single on repeat. I liked their style, looks, the whole concept and thought that Karma's voice was really interesting. And then they did the thing, or I don't know, he did the thing where he started to sound like Yuuki from Lycaon. His singing style changed completely and I don't get why. I don't think it fits their style and I can't listen to it anymore. Nothing against Yuuki or Karma, but this kind of voice makes my ears bleed is really not my cup of tea, I can't even listen to it for a minute. Showing it to a few friends, they agreed. One of them even asked if that's new stuff from Lycaon. Well they're signed to the same label and Lycaon seem to sell well so maybe they were forced to do that. I personally think it doesn't suit them, their whole image. AvelCain should stay AvelCain, not become Lycaon with clothes on. But. Glad to see people still like them, because they have a lot of potential, but they lost me there.

Kinda pop-ish song, but I like it. I didn't know what to think of the preview but the whole song convinced me! I kinda like the rap part with the breakdown afterwards~ The PV though…Dancing boobs and that glittery navel piercing. That's all I can see.
