i'm so obsessed with this song, it's beyond amazing

Has anyone been able to buy this? I saw you need to be a member of the FC to buy it... and I haven't spotted in yahoo auctions either T_T

Great news!!! another single i'm sure there will an album release next year which I'm definitely looking forward. About the useless discussion going on in this thread lol, kannivalism and baroque sound the same to me sometimes (criticize me all you want for this statement, I don't care the least) and that is probably because kei is the main composer in both baroque and kannivalism. And what makes these band come to life is ryo, because baroque/kannivalism voice is their trademark for me. As long as kyo continues singing and kei composing, people who enjoy their compositions will follow them. Now, go ahead and spread anger and criticize me, i'll be waiting patiently so I can laugh wohoo

i received the albums today, limited A and B, I'm still shocked... the only thing I can say is that the album is a masterpiece.. i'll post more thoughts later xD

I don't understand why so much hate, their music is amazing ^^ and these 2 singles are also excellent, very good songs both, my favorite was FLOWER OF ROMANCE, I can't resist Ryo's voice on this one, it sounds amazing, I agree with some previous comments that he doesn't need to use autotune, his voice is beautiful as it is, so I don't know whose idea it was to use it XD but I don't hear any of it in these singles, so maybe they realized is not necessary.

no entiendo de que hablan... y eso que yo hablo español xD

So I received the Aki Revolve album this week, and I have to say I am very pleased and surprised by how good this album is, my favorite song was AFTERWORD, I really love the synths in it with a very catchy rhythm, I've seen some people complaining about Aki's synth usage, but in my case I love it, and I agree this is the nearest to Laputa sound, especially in the last albums like New temptation, they were moving into that direction and I think it fits very well with Aki's voice, after that my second favorite was 螺旋メリーゴーランド, this song has some guitar lines that reminds me of Laputa older works too, like silent on looker and songs like that, very melodic and pleasant to listen to. Then I loved CLIMAX STARLIGHT, BACK IN THE DAY had very strong beautiful synths and a fast paced chorus that I enjoyed very much, and the lead song REVOLVE is also very good, synths and great guitar solos, this combination is total WIN. I think I'm going to buy some of the other albums, and I saw he released some new EPs too, but I don't see them listed in the Zoisite shop page, maybe it will be featured later ^^ it's very refreshing to listen to Aki's voice again, I really missed some new material with his beautiful voice. I think their looks were ok, not the main reason of why someone would follow a band, the music needs to be good, and if they look good, for me that's just a plus, in the case of Aki, I think he looks pretty similar to what he looked back then, maybe less thin, but that's just age, he still looks cool and mystic, for me he looks a bit like Yukiya Fujita which is another singer I admire a lot and well, considering Aki has almost 50 it's amazing how good he looks in my opinion, and the voice is still as I remember it back in Laputa. When you draw Aki, please definitely share it I would love to see it.

This one, for me it's a perfect song, very beautiful and sad; and it has english subs so we can all suffer and have our hearts broken hahaha

Start by checking bands that are similar to those that you like already, keep a list of those you find interesting to deep dive more on, dedicate some time to discover new bands, the results are always very nice, youtube is a great place for this nowadays, it's not that hard as it was at the beginning

I'm also very happy to be able to talk about them.. honestly I don't know anybody else who likes this band the way I do, so i understand the feeling lol the previews for this album sound awesome, my mailing service says the album will arrive this week, so I will definitely publish my opinion on it ^^ I can't wait to hear new music with Aki's voice which I always liked so much. A few days ago I got nostalgic, and I watched the "Heaven to perfection" DVD, that is such a great concert, I love the set list. Unfortunately I'm not in Japan, but I'm planning to go by the end of the year for some other concerts I'm interested in, so I will be checking Aki's schedule in case he has something planned around those dates. Thanks for sharing the Kouichi account, I don't think someone would fake him.. since he is not that famous now, so maybe it is legitimate. About DADA, the only DADA I know of is the vocalist from the band Velvet Eden, I haven't seen them much active recently, so maybe Koichi is working something with this person? interesting.. and thanks a lot for sharing the drawing! it looks amazing you have very good drawing skills, maybe you should draw Aki too, or maybe you have done it already? if so, please share too

I've been very excited about RAZOR, I didn't follow BORN that much but I thought it was ok.. however, I find RAZOR totally amazing and I would love to see them release some concert footage in DVD or something. I ordered the new single, it should arrive on tuesday.. I will post my thoughts then

oh yes !!!!! the best news this year I was checking but it's not available for pre-order yet, I tried HMV and Amazon.. maybe within a few days, I hope the limited edition comes with something interesting.. Heterodox just had the Evil PV and nothing else, I would like some backstage or if it's the PV, at least include the "making of" footage.. ^^

hahaha funny you guys mention that it is so bad, I actually love this song, and most of Yukiya Fujita works such as D=Sire, JILS and his solo releases are amazing.. it's interesting that tastes can be so different

I feel the same way, for me the best Kamijo work will always be Lareine, it was very unique.

I'm glad this thread help revive some interest for Laputa and his members they were definitely one of the greatest bands in visual kei history. On my side, I checked the vocalist's (Aki) recent works and it sounds very decent, so i ordered the latest album called "Revolve" , looking forward to it.

I don't understand the combination of the looks with this red material thing used in elegant dresses for parties; and the skaters and bikers in the back? xD what kind of concept is this? lol

I remember when Laputa disbanded, it was also one of my favorite bands at the time; I tried following up the vocalists (Aki)'s works, but it was very experimental when he first started and I really forgot to do some follow up on him! I'm going to check out his latest works, if you have any recommended song, let me know And I am very sad to know that Kouichi might have left the music scene.. he was so talented..

Hola a todos, alguien asistiendo al concierto de Plastic Tree en Ciudad de Mexico en Agosto? Mas información aca: http://www.ninshi.net/PlasticTree/ Por lo visto habra oportunidad de meet & greet, yo ya compre mi entrada en ticketmaster, solo me falta comprar el boleto a MX, este fin de semana lo compraré. Que set list piensan que tocará Plastic Tree en este concierto?

hahaha this was the super announcement??? XD I hope there is something else being announced... not make such a big deal about the looks lol at least we get two singles this month!

whoaaa hype hype! maybe it's about the new album or a tour announcement? exciting , i wanna preorder the new album already lol

I'm so happy about this band getting so active again, I received the bluray today and watching right now, and it is amazing so far. I really loved Black Bane; I'm excited to listen to Gakido and Nutty a hermit again, so much nostalgia with those songs omg... hehehe I really liked their old style, the new songs are more slow and with electronic sound, I hope they find a balance, because their old style was so awesome

I agree PINOCCHIO should have been the main song on this single, I find this song spectacular. If they keep doing more like this, I think it will be great.

That consolidated list would be extremely useful, sometimes I realize months later that a band i forgot for a while has released something I'm interested in xD so that would help avoid this issue lol thanks so much for the hard work

This is definitely one of the best VK bands to have ever existed, it was among my favorites for a long time. Anyone remember this master piece? Aki was really an amazing singer, I was not able to get into his solo stuff afterwards, it was too experimental for my taste.. but this is definitely a band i will always miss

Ohhh how come I missed this MBHI band xD I never listened before, I've been checking some of their songs and it's very awesome, that interesting offbeat rhythms like the song PINOCCHIO, I realize this kind of melodies that are not lineal.. but full of changes with strong and defined bass lines, it's very catchy to my ears. Thanks for the indirect recommendation XD too bad that band is disbanded, but we can enjoy RAZOR now.
