I feel like I don't hear him here as well. Listening to meth. and 404NOTFOUND really REALLY much in the past I can't hear any resemplence vocal wise with the new song. His voice was very recognizable and did not change much from 2005 to 2010 so even we are nearly 10 years later now I can't believe it should be Akito. Is there a mistake or did he have a very very late puberty vocal change?! His pronunciation or word accentuation seems a little similar tho.. but the pitch is just SO different.

You could've played this song blindly to me and I would've asked if Eve produced this. The atmopshere/instrument patterns are exactly like in AvelCain, the singing is exactly like in AvelCain. Shows you how they can just put in any dudes and make a decent sounding band out of it just like in those popgroups. I wonder if the guitarist this time can play the simple powerchords live?
Still looking forward to them. Love how they featured Birds, great movie.
 

How can you still call them worn out when you complain about his drumming since, idk 5+ years now? It seems to be his style by now, get over it or stop listen to them.
I am not a drummer but damn, this same sentence complaining about him every time in every thread for so many years now gets kind off annoying to read. 

Besides 2-3 songs from their first album, 駁-baku- from their 荊海 CODA single is somehow the only song that I can really remember from them and would praise them for. I hope they would do something like that song again.
New PV song just sounds like a slight variation of what they did before. That guitar shredding is just SO boring. Are there any people on this planet anymore that can actually enjoy that crap except guitar otakus?

From all the bands I've seen live over the years, this dude definitly felt like the best drummer I have ever seen in vk. Such intense drumming live, putting the live house on fire. (Never cared for this band on CD tho).
Would really be suprised if his leave has no effect on them. Also due to his band background I can imagine he could have had important connections in the scene that will now be lost. We'll see.

The album was suddenly released yesterday via various platforms online and release on CD on 2020.06.30. Just bought it at amazon.
 
Edit: I worried the album would be full of fillers and kinda bad, but it turned out really well! Great positive suprise.

For me, adding the bare numbers it would be a somewhat 6/10, however my feeling for the mini as a whole would be more towards a 7-8/10.
The two singles didn't do much for me, many songs sounded the same to me, riffs seemed interchangable, I felt Ai sang the same melody over and over again.. I feel this mini is a big step in the right direction. 火炎瓶 and おやすみ。 together with parts of 「悪人」 are great - the rest sounds mostly forgettable and recycled to me.
 
As a sidenote: I do not know if I always catched Ai on bad days, but those times I saw KtK live it always seemed that he is not capable of performing more than 20-30 minutes without his voice dissapearing/breaking... I wonder how it is now? I hope he worked on that, would be a shame otherwise I feel, he seemed like a cool guy.
 

im very surprised and also disappointed that no one in the band picked hageshisa considering its one of the most played songs in live concerts.

They are really trying to save money
 

Sadly lots of the real a$$holes are guys who are in bands that do not even write their own music. ex.Vexent guitarist and I work at the same place and he showed me some of his ghostwriter friend's work in the scene and I was surprised by some of the acts, others not so much. Sadly VK has become like idol groups with guitars. that coworker is a douche too tbh, did not care about VK history, just wanted to be like some kind of idol when he was in that band.

Im suprised they still write about that album in the info-box of the video. As if that would ever be released. Might as well just release a recording of the live where they were supposed to play all songs from the album last year..

It was revealed at todays live that 咲 (Saki) (ex-Cuartet, ex-THE MAD SIMPSON, etc., now presidentチンピラ of Bloom) will act as their new vocalist, starting today.

Ya same. I guess it was inevitable since Mar is also a old school guy and hes their songwriter. I wonder if one of the 2 members that left were the ones who were pushing the crazy synth sound 

To be honest I really feel a lot "new" stuff from the guitars/bass in the riffs/techniques (for a lynch song). While the structure is of course typical, I start to wonder if it was just Hazukis fault the last 10 years I felt they had just 3 different songs in 20 variations. I like him but seems he is only able to sing the same melody/do the same scream over and over in every song..?

All these "electronic effects" are so extremly cringy and out of place / randomly thrown in like "i want to have these effects cause im so different now", I cant nearly listen to the song and feel constantly I want to skip to the next song.
Also MIST might be the worst album opener I heard in a long time.
What a waste of talent.

The "deathcore" style done in a good way (emphasis on done in a good way) is what I see the majority of people want to hear
(as in most oversea fans (I do know in the idk 10 years you state your dislike for it that you arent one of those ), I feel japanese fans seem not care how a band sounds as long as it sounds 'good' and focus more on the bandmember look/behavior)
The harsher/darker style done in a really good way in vk (that isnt dir) seems always missing in the scene since the bands doing it well enough change to a style that is, as you already wrote, done to death. Still good music, just creating a void again and forces people to listen to those 2nd, 3rd tier shit like Nazare etc.
