Their look is great as always. The song itself is good but the video does it major justice. The structure of the song is less abrupt, as Ame no waltz left listeners looking for another heavy section. I kind of want to hear Yoshiatsu approach songs differently on this release, I'm starting to be able to predict his vocals based on the song being a heavy or jazzy track (which seems to be an either-or for DADAROMA even when they mention themselves what they're writing.) In all honesty though this is a piece of work and clearly their best total package to date!

Awesome

Wishing we could hear their last single "Lotion Baby"

Can't let me watch it... Le suicide~ Someone tell me what it is?

Yup sounds decent. I feel maybe I'll appreciate the digital singles more in the album context

I'm confused... That preview IS Belial.. What are you saying haha

Yess Yuuki looks like Yuuki again

It sounds SO good much better than expected..

They are almost TOO good looking, visuals and all

Yo-ka oh myy

Those snake eyes ... This look is flame

IMO MiA's lack of identity spreads beyond his visuals. In interviews I've read he always seems to have so little to say for himself as an artist (when speaking on meaning) and a component of a dynamic VK band. Sometimes he gives less insight than even Meto who speaks through others. His stage presence also leaves much to be desired. As beautiful as he always is, and as great as his solos are, he comes across as only being comfortable doing the same movements and striking the same poses on stage that look as if they were lifted from various VK magazines in his earlier years. When compared to the rest of MEJIBRAY who were born to be balls-out, he seems like a misfit. I'd hate to think that his impression and style of what visual kei can be like is so limited. Not meaning to shit talk, but it was asked why MiA is being bashed I just thought Id weigh in honestly. I still love his playing and I'm glad he has a spot in a good band, but I know he's young and I'd like to see him come out of his shell a little more (assuming he has anything of value inside to show). I still vote for Mejibray contracting a second guitarist.

Indeed interesting )

So many new songs!

I like the tone of the song, seems closer to the GLORIA album than AVALON in most respects.

is great success!!

"B+D+M" Good god.... it's too powerful!!

Once you go aristocratic-prince-of-the-night, you're always right<3

It's not really that people are surprised, MBHI was a very loose experiment project that still had a lot to work out before they would be a band that I could see going the distance. That being said, it's pretty misleading to say that what he touches turns to shit considering that he formed the band in the first place.. in 2008. SKULL members could still be seen as just a placeholder for a just generally heavy project that Tenten wanted to do all this time. We can speculate anything I guess. Maybe he IS really hard to work with, or is emotionally driven to scrap his projects in favor of something new. He's kind of always been this way, I'm not sure I could picture him in a 10+ year "veteran VK band". More he just serves as a perpetual "veteran bandoman" in these under-the-radar projects. Anyway, seems like the SKULL members themselves are splitting off on their own too here. I'm into every one of them frankly though and I'm excited for this project as well as any other they are involved in (in addition of course to whatever VK facet Tenten decides to poke his head out of next..)

goddamn Koichi

Tsuzuku - good god this eye makeup is beautiful. Koichi - I wonder if his head ever feels heavy with all these animal parts he puts on it.. (look feels DOGMA-inspired) MiA - Son can I buy you a personality? Where are your parents, boy? Meto - reminds me of Joe he pulls it off like he does everything! Awesome, 2 consecutive singles have been working for them so far. Although I also dont think it's likely that this is foreboding haha

That set is gorgeous and so is Kiryu

Kouryuu & Tersuya ex-.... </3 They look really cool though..
