    He is playing a character. It's so clear it is funny you are talking about it with such intensity.

     

     

    Nightmare has been around with this lineup for ages. Ruka has been the most prolific songwriter in the band. He went on and did sendai kamotsu with them and wrote songs for it. He joins Yomi and Hitsugi on their dumb nico nico crap sometimes.

     

    If he disliked the band so much and was annoyed by silliness that would not had been like that.

     

    He is putting on a show to seem more interesting because he's probably a fairly boring anime/visual novel/idol otaku.

    Sakito better not let me down and make an album full of electronic noise *cough* SCUMS *cough

     

    Sorry for breaking it for you but Jekigan Meister is mostly a DJ act. I would not expect many actual instrunents being played and absolutely no major vocal feature. 

    I wish I was wrong but I really think keeping expectations in check here is important.

     

    It will be mostly electronic music  with rock elements.

     

    I also prefer Sakito's music to Ruka's. I find Ruka much more formulaic and disjointed. I honesly like both. But I don't think this particular work is going to do it for anyone expecting Sakito to flourish in a style simmilar to Nightmare. I think LSN is going to be closer in sound to Nightmare than Jekigan.

    Just like @nekkichisays, Avex probably just signed them for a set number of albums. And it also probably isjust  a distribution deal.

     

    Their CD credits have not changed all that much since the VAP days and the most key positions in regards to them in their management agency, C-BLOCK are the same too. 

     

    Nightmare has allways worked a lot recording and touring. If anything, I would blame C-BLOCK. But The Kiddie was also con C-BLOCK and AFAIK never released as much so I gess Nightmare just like being very productive (?)

     

    I mean, thats the most naive thing I could say but I can not think of other reason.

     

    On the other hand, Yomi is known for not being very propular with mitsus. ºwº

    how so

    most of negative feedback I've seen on them only concerns recent two or three albums — and the abundant re-re-re-re-release cashgrabbing avex has been especially fond of with them.

     

    The last two or three albums was whet it got more "vicious".

     

    I follow them very closely and in my experience, ever since Killer Show this band has been doomed for a very vocal group of peole. Since the abandoned the libido-anima-World Ruler negativity was very present in any conversation about this band. 

     

    It got worse with the last 3 albums because those were much less popular all around so the tone of the conversation around them got worse.

     

    On the re-release thing, yeah it got bad, just like Yomi's vocals

     

    I suspect TAKE NO BREAK will focus on a style that puts no stress into Yomi's vocal chords so I would expect something more "Chiba sounding".

    Nightmare in general is very despised overall, even though they are much more capable, consistent and proven than most VK groups and quite a few regular Jrock bands. Being very popular (at least a few years back) but not being absolutely excellent also makes them an easy target. I am also quite sure that during the late 2000's when VK was more popular they were seen as a "band noobs like" because their music was a geatway into VK for many people due to anime. Most of the older VK fans at the time started to be actively dismissive in Nightmare topics because they associated the band with ignorance about the scene. The trend has persisted as the band's output has been much less consistant but it still existed in 2008, 2009 when their music was more solid and cohesive.

     

    There are also people who just don't like the band or Yomi's vocals. 

     

    Also keep in mind that negative reactions are much more motivating than positive ones and people are much more inclined to show opposition than interest, specially on the internet. This creates a climate that does not encourage constructive talk about the band because bad impressions pile up so much that people who may want to say other kind of thigs feel out of place.

     

    Happens in every communty in every place on the internet; everything is, to a degree,  a sort of echo chamber of negative feedback.

     

    TL;DR - Some peole think Nightmare was too popular for how good they are. Also, it's the internet.
