Aie has announced new goods and re-edition of album "SiteOfScafFold" 
 

Had a couple of half-listens, being at work. For the most part I'm enjoying it, tracks 7, 12, and 13 are really interesting. I actually love 'dorothy' suprisingly, haha! Would've really liked to see them tackle a prog song (how would Sukekiyo's Vinushka/Diabolos sound?).
 
CD 2 I haven't gotten to, but I'm honestly just not interested in Kyo-and-friends karaoke. Some demos, b-sides (Rongai na Ikimono Toshite is possibly better than everything on this album, apart from being demo quality) and maybe some scoustic versions!? Tada Mada with an acoustic guitar, piano, light percussion and acoustic bass anyone? With Kyo rerecorded specifically for the track (no Diru 'unplugged' versions haha).

As a member of L'arc en Ciel HYDE is very talented and artistic. As a solo artist, except for things he did in the past, not so much.

This basically tells me that I'm generally going to like this album, but I'm probably not going to consider it anything "top 10" worthy

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

No new single, eh?
That's... underwhelming, to say the least. I think Ninth is a bit lacking and one strong single would make things better.
 

The guys finally released the PV for 天国で待ってる:
 
 
is this my brain on drugs?

Quite dissapointed how Haru to Shura wasn't pick in this list. It was one of the most refreshing and overall great releases of 2018.But also overall, a good list.
By the way, kizu shouldn't be here as that release is a single, not an album.

That artwork looks like something I’d see printed on a plate at my grandmother’s house. 

After the first two months of 2019 passed, I decided to stop updating this list because every day I discovered a new 2018 album that I didn't hear before, on time. I decided to close this post as it is.
 
2018 was the year I've heard more music through all of my life. A huge lot of great album releases, from big and well known artists such as DEG, Kyary, KAMIJO, The GazettE, to new, indie, underground artists to me, such as Haru Nemuri, More, Klan Ailee, SWARRRM. Definitely one of the best years in Japanese music. I'm so glad 2018 was full of amazing albums because music is a great part of my life. Cheers for a 2019 full of great music as well.
 
BTW, fuck XA-VAT and their "we're way too underground to release K-I-S in-store or digitally". We were excited to listen their return .
 
2018 releases rating
 
Waiting list
 

Why can't they use the actual version than edited? Curious if it is actually have longer duration than shown. Could it be a 5+ minutes song in full? 🤔

omg that was beautiful. love the lyrics tho!
maybe it's because a pr edit version, the song feels a little short inspite of the song's concept.
 
cant wait for the rest of the tracks ! ! ! !

I thought Shade of season and the other new album tracks of Butterfly were great 🤔

Time for a new album. Save us from HYDE solo

Cool, I hope it will be released on regular stores.

What the fuck these songs are so fuckn good (so much better than the first he released).
I wasn't expecting anything but now i'm super excited 

I enjoyed every second or that. Can't wait for the album release, I wish I could order the limited edition.

- track 12 "Shizuka no Umi", from the single Silent Noise

Very curious to hear the musical direction they will go for! 

anything is better than continuing with Mia and Meto 


 
I like the calm voice of tsuzuku. If it was something like that, for me, they can bury Mejibray forever.

Would be nice to hear something different from the "MEJIBRAY style"
Tsuzuku,this can be your "Sukekiyo".

Tracklist :
1.Sang -Another Story-
2.私たちは戦う、昨日までの自分と ( Watashitachiha tatakau, kinō made no jibun to )
3.Sang -Another Story- [Instrumental]
4.私たちは戦う、昨日までの自分と ( Watashitachiha tatakau, kinō made no jibun to ) [Instrumental]

Creature Creature is (will be ?) on hiatus but MORRIE is still there, good news !
