L'eprica will release their 4th single titled 『ⅳ』 on 2017/6/22 at Ikebukuro Teganata. At the present it will not be available in stores (which means that it might still be in the future?)
 

 
but holy jesus fuck it's really happeninngggg

I love how his space kitten voice goes with the instrumentals. It's so cutesy sad and precious.

I thought that was the point? His little speaking-tone unconditional baby voice is part of the whatever gimmick this is supposed to convey lol..
 
It's like... one of those counting sheep picture books for babies, if the babies are all addicted to pain killers.

Had me at shoegaze. We need some VK gaze, please be good

They found out he's italian

Hearing choirs of angels over this announcement, as ironic as it may be. But I'm still half in disbelief we're actually getting this, as the saying goes, it's not over till it's over.

(and god fuckin dammit, why is MY LUCIFER there, lmao. oh well, I'm still overjoyed, who am I kidding)

In the "especially cringe" department, there's "artiste extraordinaire" HITT revealing his bare chest to show us he had stickers on his nipples with his own face printed on them. He then proceeded to detach them and threw them in the audience, to the ecstatic cheers of the crowd.  I'll concede that hysterical laughter alone was worth the price of admission.

no kuroyuritokage? SON I AM DISAPPOINT 

The end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 has seen a lot of arrests of visual kei members. While band members skirting the law - and sometimes even breaking it - is nothing new, it is rather unusual to see so many high-profile cases in such a short time span. So today, let's indulge in some visual kei drama both past and present and look at some other famous cases and arrests. Grab some tea, because this topic is going to get delicious.
 
Disclaimer: While the title says "Bad Boys" of visual kei, some of the stuff covered here is particularly heinous. It's one thing to be a "bad boy" and it's another thing to be a rapist. Please don't read into the title too much.

Fuck yeah spontaneous MH get-together! All planets aligned for one hell of a night xD

When you're hanging out with @Disposable at a Drab Majesty/King Dude show and someone gets punched in the face, everything is covered in #aesthetic #smoke, and you randomly meet @saltofstones afterwards.
 
LEGENDARY.

PLASTICZOOMS is my most recent discovery so I figured I should make a review on them!  
 
PLASTICZOOMS - PLASTICZOOMS
 

 
Disclaimer:
 
1) This is actually my first time listening to PLASTICZOOMS seriously, so this is probably really objective...nor can I cite or compare any of their other previous works
 
2) I don’t know much musical lingo, despite being in band/orchestra for 4 years. So I’m not gonna get all complex, though I wish I could
 
3) This is my first review. Have mercy on me please (but do give me critiques and/or your opinion on the work too!)
 
Let's get started!  
 
Frontal Attack: Every time this track comes on I just smile some to myself. It sounds so...spacey and weird, but I think this it works well. As the song progresses, more things are added from extra beats, to the guitars, and finally Sho. So as an introduction, I guess it gets the job done as an “SE” of some sort.
 
The Future: It’s a good transition from Frontal Attack. The track itself is..quite alright. It doesn’t knock me off my feet, but it’s definitely something I don’t mind hearing when it comes on shuffle. The guitar solo part is pretty darn cool though, and I love to hear the drums in that part too. The rough vocals Sho uses near the end is a nice touch too.
 
Quite Clearly: This is the song that I liked at first, but then I listened to it more afterwards and felt kinda meh towards it. It has it’s redeeming values, but quite clearly, it’s meh to me. hAH
 
Minds: THIS IS THE SONG THAT I HAD STUCK IN MY HEAD THE ENTIRE WEEK. It’s beautiful, and I love the little melody that comes up in the background occasionally and the slower part before the chorus...omg. I like the female voice along with Sho’s, but I feel in short moments it overpowers his voice somewhat (that may be because of his accent though). This was the song on their album advertisement, which was the only reason I decided to check this out actually!  
 
HIGHWAY: The other song I had in my head this week..I dig the vintage feel to it. When I was first dipping my feet into PLASTICZOOMS’ music, this was really the only title track song (aside from P A R A D E ) that really stuck out to me. The chorus is catchy af and i find myself singing along each time. I love the part after the last chorus..just gold.
 
U12: This is the “jollier” song on the album, and it still hasn’t grown on me yet. The bass in this song is pretty great and the part just with it and the synths is fairly cute.
 
Night & Hurt: Aaaand we’re back to the darker stuff. The weird voice/vocals in the background and the occasional spacey sounds (return) really add to the mystery in this song, Sho’s voice in some parts sounds really..I don’t think creepy would say it, but like some evil overlord that's commanding the peasants (or something). I still feel so-so with the song in general, but it always feels so short when I listen to it.
 
Smoke Motion: I don’t know why this reminds me slightly of Quite Clearly, but it does. I think the effects in this song is interesting though, and has me tapping my foot along to the beat at times. This song does a lot and I feel it took me a while to take a lot of in. I daresay this is probably the most “experimental” song on this album...oh and the drums at the end reminded me a bit of the ones in THE NOVEMBERS’ Romancé and I was like “cool, I love this effect!” 
 
Veiled Eyes: Ah, the other title track. This is the first song I heard by PLASTICZOOMS (I think), and it didn’t woo me off my feet. It still doesn’t. Honestly, they could’ve chosen Minds as the other title track, even it kinda was the promo song.
 
Breitenbach: I love, love this track. I think it’s a good song to end the album off with. It’s just so pretty, from the piano, the occasionally ornamentations, and the guitars.
 
Ending thoughts: I’m still getting used to Sho’s accented English, so I couldn’t decipher a ton of what he was saying, but I think it would’ve helped with my interpretation maybe. I don’t know if this was the best album for me to start with, but it wasn’t bad. I think the order of the album is pretty good, though U12 threw me off when I was first listening to it. In the end, I will definitely be looking more at their discography, since I really like their sound !
 
Least Favorite Song?: Veiled Eyes
Favorite Song?: Minds, duh
Runner Up?: Breitenbach
