Ma chérie ~Itoshii Kimi E~ (all the vocalists

i have high hopes for this one! Matsupoiyo (the complete maxi single) was a masterpiece but everything else he did was just OK to me...

kaya has been from the jump an artist who loves club/dance/pop music with occasional dalliances in other genres: her VERY FIRST SINGLE, kaleidoscope, fell into this vein.
 
why the fuck are y'all so salty when kaya has said MULTIPLE TIMES that she  intends to further explore darker sounds with schwarz stein? that side of kaya ain't going away. 
 
the level of ignorance in this thread is fucking ridiculous. 
 
FURTHERMORE, while a lot of RPDR queens make campy music, many do not, so i find fault with you equating them all together.  ginger minj, jinx monsoon, shea coulee, aja, trixie mattel etc, make "serious music", not unlike kaya.  drag music is the closest thing to vk in the west & TBH these queens r much more authentic than a bunch of misshapen scandivanian assholes screaming in broken japanese.

btw track 2 "come closer" is described as Kaya's first chill-out song...

can u blame the good sis she's been doing the ~gothic dekadansu~ shtick for years
 
let her feel ha oatS

Finally got a proper vocalist, I will get their new single now

ZIZ will release their new EP "Liquid Stunt Flavor" on 2018/08/25 at their oneman gig "Salon du Detéster #15" held at Zirco Tokyo. The live will also feature guests Hitomi (ウミユリ) and 美良 政次 (a.k.a. Seth from Moi Dix Mois / Z from Art Cube). No further info about the actual contents of the CD.
