Case

This is amaziiiing! And I so so so hope that there will be some kind of live recording from the show.

Honestly I even forgot that they reformed. And yes, let's hope this means more WingWorks!

They already had one of the messiest membership histories ever and now this..? The song itself ain't half bad tho, but the girl's quite weak clean vocals does not really fit in that well.

WTF, first Tsukasa and now him? Or are there other vk-turned-enka guys beside them? And I wonder what audience he is targeting, vk fans or the enka loving elderly ladies?

Actually the tour announcement refers to it as a mini album: https://highfeel.jp/2018/03/21/satsuki-［reboot］-europe-march-april-2018/

I didn't care much when they restarted as A9, but actually most of the stuff they released since was quite decent and this does not sound bad either.

Not really, it sounds a lot more like a cheap copy of late '90s JPop, just like his previous track yamikumo. Something Tetsuya Komuro would write in his worst moment, but even he would be too embarrassed to release. Nice ropework in the video tho, but that does not make the music any more tolerable.

Now that's gonna be one weird album... Zero is a kinda proper headbanger, but then it all turns into weird, z-grade trap imitation? I wonder who is his target audience with this? The people that go to his shows here in Europe are mostly vk fans and they sure ain't gonna like this cheapo hip-hop sound.

Holy shit!!! @___@

Thanks for the photos and well... too bad about the video. :\

" I'm not sure how much people actually care about the fan culture part of VK here" - For me the whole fan / industry background is sometime even more interesting than the music itself. And this was a fascinating read, so thanks a lot for taking the time to write this up!

Yeah, the best guess so far is that it all has to do with global anime licensing, a possible agreement between some international anime distributors and Avex or their plans for the global market. But then, why on Earth some music DVDs and stuff like HiGH&LOW are affected as well? Stuff that has nothing at all to do with anime? And it is clearly not a "fight against the illegal dark world" as then it wouldn't only affect DVDs. My guess it is just someone being lazy to check what is included in the restricted items, but who knows what's the truth? And it is especially pointless as all that stuff is available globally at other online stores...

He is really taking all this acoustic thing a but too far... first all those acoustic shows in a nearly weekly basis mostly at the very same venue and now this. And I was at one of those concerts and it was actually surprisingly great and powerful, but about 95% of the audience was made up of middle-aged ladies and grannies and I guess it is the same at all these shows. I want my crazy punk Kiyoharu back, not this "old rockstar playing mellow self-covers for old ladies" thing. O__o

Oh my, thanks for the live report! Did they have any cameras there? (= is there a chance for a live recording being released sometime?)

"support guitarist A.O.I (SHAZNA)" - just wow! this was... unexpected!
