This whole single is so amazing, my favorite song in the single is PINOCCHIO, what an awesome rhythm , it's perfect, and the main song Brilliant, I love it too. I am definitely going to keep and eye on this band. They officially have my interest lol

The one I dislike the most is multiple type releases... Type A, B, C, D.. with different contents, split, one with booklet, the other without it.. etc. I like to buy physical copies of the albums I want, and this is always an issue, it's sad to buy the same thing many times just for the different contents. I think there should always be 2 versions. A normal standard version, and a version with all the whatever multiple goodies they want to include, even if its more expensive, I think this way is a lot better. Into similar topics, FC limited releases, that then are sold for a lot of money in auctions.. why just don't sell normally to everybody? through manufacture by order or whatever method, I understand the FC needs to offer benefits, but it shouldn't be in the actual releases that the band makes in my opinion.

Another happy arrival for my Angelo collection, the latest Bluray cycle of rebirth:

LOL gracias, es que como el forum es mas de tematica visual kei; pues no suelo mencionar mi lado Jpop jajajaja pero bueno, del lado de Jpop y de Jrock non-VK, me encanta Dreams Come True, access, TM Network, Daisuke Asakura, globe, Tetsuya Komuro, RADWIMPS, sakanaction, flumpool, Namie Amuro, Arashi, Yumi Matsutoya, TM Revolution, REBECCA, etc..

In regards to Latin America, the language thing may not be that important, because many people listen to English music and many don't understand it, so not many can use this argument. However, I've noticed that Japanese music is often associated with Anime... so the reaction you get from common people when they listen to a song in Japanese is "oh, from which anime is it from?" so it's difficult for people in LATAM to take it seriously as a music on its own, this is also why you will only hear this music in Anime conventions and events... besides that, the majority of LATAM countries are more into other genres of music that are not Rock, the rock itself is not the preferred genre, people mostly listen to tropical music, ballads, R&b, hip hop, reggeaton... etc. it's very sad, I think the level of education has something to do with it. There are some countries in the South cone where there's still some popularity for Rock, and this is where sometimes Jrock bands go to (Argentina, Chile Etc.) Also, right now the Kpop is very popular from what i've seen, maybe because it's easy to get access to it. In regards to Jrock, it's not easy for common people to find resources to listen to it, so this is probably why it's only the hard core fans that still listen to it. I try to expose my friends to it, and make "Jrock concert nights" to show them bands and stuff, and the reactions are always interesting.

I thought the new song "Inside out" song was very nice, it kind of reminded me of some of their older songs such as Namida Drop sorta style, easy to listen soft rock, very fitting for the game aesthetics, so i'm pleased with it, not super impressed, but it's a very catchy and nice feeling sound imo. I will buy it if it comes out in itunes. Ryutaro's voice sounds okay in studio recordings at least. ^^

oh yes, I remember this band too, it was popular during the time I started to listen to Japanese rock, I loved their album "Departures" all the songs in there were pretty solid

Saludos a todos, mi banda favorita es Angelo, seguido de PIERROT y todo lo que tenga que ver con Kirito, y luego Plastic Tree y Guniw Tools. De bandas asi mas nuevas, me gusta mucho HERO, y me gustaba megamasso, me da mucha pena que se separaran. De bandas viejas, me gustaba mucho Iceman, Janne da Arc, Laputa, JILS, D=Sire, Maschera, Rouage, Raphael, Rentrer en Soi, Lareine, La'cryma Christi, The Yellow Monkey y Luna Sea. Tambien escucho Jpop y bandas de Jrock que no son vk, pero supongo que eso no viene al tema

Ohh I didn't know that he was using e-cigarrettes now, but I agree that won't change the damage done by the real cigarrettes he has used over the year.. and yes, it has definitely been more than 2 polyps, his voice is very damaged by now.. it makes my heart break, and the same goes with the guillain barre syndrome, I am very sure he is preparing mentally for having to stop being a vocalist someday. I agree they should take a hiatus so he can recover, but at the same there are two things, the first is that maybe the company doesn't let them, I've heard victor entertainment is very tough to be in, and second, maybe he doesn't want to stop and wants to do all he can while he still can... I can relate that maybe he believes free time would mean that he won't probably be able to go back? there are a lot of possibilities As for Akira, maybe he has coaltar of the deepers, and maybe kenken can join any band, he's a great drummer and young, so I don't think he'll have any issues. But Tadashi... he and Ryutaro and like the heart of Plastic Tree, so it will be very uncomfortable when the time comes.. but I do hope this tree never withers..

The last movie I watched in the cinema was the new Pacific Rim, partially because Mackenyu was there, and I loved the first one. I enjoyed it a lot. After that I've been watching Dorama, not movies.

Well, I know they recently performed in Nippon Budokan (if that counts as a big stadium... ^^) , it was last year 2017, I remember because it was broadcasted in WOWOW

Ohh you are right, I totally forgot about Nocturne XD I think I overlooked it, but yes, that only makes the count up to 2.. which is not many at all compared to the ratio of composition he was doing in some previous albums. Is Ryutaro still smoking?! I thought he had stopped at some point.. after having polyps removed many time (how many has it been, like 4 i guess?) I thought he would have chose to stop doing it, maybe this way he could last a bit more. It also makes me very sad that Ryutaro will have to retire at some point soon maybe.. his voice is not what it used to be, even if we still love it, I'm sure it must be very hard for him, I know some other vocalists that have been forced to retire for the same reason, it's either that, or lose your voice completely or just live in constant pain which is not fair for him either, and the quality of the voice wont be the same, so I am sure he wants to do his best. I wonder how the rest of the members feel about it? I am sure Kenken could probably go on, since he's younger than the others, find some other band.. I guess.. I hate to think about it. I hope they can complete the next album.. the Japanese music scene will be very lonely for me without Plastic Tree T_T

Hola a todos! Latina por acá, saludos desde Panamá a los fans del Jrock. Yo no conozco a nadie que le guste el Jrock (en serio) aqui, solo gente que le gusta X Japan, L'arc en ciel (lo de siempre) pero nada más alla de eso lol

Hello, yeah I think this is a tendency of Victor Entertainment releases... lol About the composition, actually what surprised me the most is that "Irotsuki" was the only composition done by Ryutaro this time?! he got lazy suddenly? xD this was basically a Tadashi album, being the majority of the songs, I'd like Ryutaro to make more songs like Replay for example, and that song Irotsuki was one of my favorites. I like the fact that Kenken keeps composing. I remember Ryutaro said once that he never took proper singing classes, and that he was not interested in it either because he thought only feeling was important for singing... <-- I think this is the consequences of that now, that he forces his voice too much in the concerts.. by the end of the concerts.. the songs sound a bit different.. but regardless of this.. it's painful , but I still love his voice no matter what. I agree Makka na ito was probably the best on the second set, together with Replay and Andrometamorphose for me, very epic whenever they perform it. ^^

This is the latest that I received last week, I'm expecting more arrivals next week ^^

when thinking about some very obscure short lived vk bands, I remember L'avier matis, they only released a mini album xD but it's amazing, and also Aioria, which only released one album and a couple of demo tapes that had some great songs lol

I usually dislike the fact that Plastic Tree likes to release many versions of any of their releases, and the same here, they should just release a 2 DVD box set with the 2 concerts together and the album separately, this would be smarter and people will definitely buy both, but expecting the fans to buy the same album twice just for a different DVD and a different photobook doesn't sound too smart in my opinion xD anyway, regardless of that, the album is AWESOME, much better than the previous album, and I'm glad I ordered type A that includes the entire Puppet show setlist and couple more of classics, just with Circus in concert i'm satisfied xD

Awesome news! already preordered my copy. This is the same concert that was broadcasted via NicoNico and it is also Kirito's birthday concert, so I hope they don't edit out the portions where the audience sings happy birthday to Kirito and all the other happenings around that lol , I'm also wondering if Angelo will release a Bluray of any of the Heterodox concerts that feature the entire album setlist, because this one had songs from everywhere, so it's kind of standalone and not part of the Heterodox tour.

Actually, besides the portion of PIERROT songs he sang at the symphonic concert (when he promised he will never perform those again xD), there was also a PIERROT song in the existence proof concert from 2006, he performed ANSWER at the very end of the concert just before saying some comments about Pierrot disbandment and that he will continue solo activities from now on , at this point I guess Angelo wasn't part of the plan yet. So the fact that he performed ANSWER in this acoustic concert, I think it means a lot, and it also relates with what Kirito said in the Heterodoxy live, that he won't run away anymore, so for me this means he doesn't need to forbid himself from performing PIERROT songs, people want to listen to them, even if the band doesn't return, he can just perform them occasionally. About ordering the DVD, you can use proxy service to order it, this is what I did and it worked very nice.

I also hope this include some new material as well! his two solo albums are amazing... he should had never stopped, but Pierrot disband messed up all his plans I guess, let's hope for the best and some new epic album I also hope this acoustic concert is released in video, bluray please haha

This album is so amazing, I went to their Heterodoxy live in Tsutaya O-East in Shibuya, that was the 2nd live of the tour, and wow.. so awesome, Kirito is really at its best, and I liked this album more than CORD from last year, both are amazing, but this one is a little better, 胎動 is such a powerful song, I event wanted to cry when Kirito sang it, with such passion, that only he can show. There will be a Niconico broadcast of one of the last lives of this tour, in case anyone is interested: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv309404835

I finally received my copy of ANDROGYNOS 2 days ago, and wow... I'm shocked by how amazing PIERROT was, I only wish they had performed more various songs among both days, because both days had almost the same songs, and compared to the reunion concerts back in 2014, only 2 new songs performed here, which were MASS GAME and パウダースノウ, both were absolutely spectacular, on the 2nd day I felt they had such a great chemistry, that I am starting to suspect they might do something more next year, I mean they even broadcasted the ANDROGYNOS live in the Yunika vision in Shinjuku, if they weren't planning on doing anything else in the future, why make such an statement LOL and well, about the DEG portion, I'm not a big fan of Kyo's scream, so I tried watching a bit very carefully xD I could just stand The Final and アクロの丘 , which were awesome, the rest I have a hard time with Kyo's voice, its a shame because the other musicians are great, but anyhow, regardless of that, I am extremely happy I bought this for the PIERROT portion, it was so much worth it, money well spent! and the documentary was cute too.

Yeah, I'm planning to go to Japan on February to see the 2/24 performance

Omg this is such great news !!!!!!!! I will preorder the album as soon as it becomes available, and I have to mention that the setlist is AMAZING. Beginning in the encore, beautiful. And I always thought Program is a perfect song for closure, I love this setlist !!! I hope they release a Blu-ray hopefully! and that Angelo continues ! I don't need Pierrot anymore, Angelo 4ever !!
