^ After Ren's years of various live-limited schemes, I would like to throw him out of a window. If he does form a new band, I hope they're sensible enough to not do that

Nice!

^ It says anyone who applies for that present will get it. Although you still have to apply for it, at least it's not “lottery” like the other two presents.

^ Not digging Miyawaki's Korean boy band look, but the previews still sound good so whatever...

I think “HIZAKI wanted to try something new” automatically categorizes that rumor as false...

Cool song!

Cool, always good to hear about releases available worldwide

BTW the release text says something like “グリーヴァ = successors of the good old days” and “GRIEVA = model of present-day evolution”. So basically katakana ver is the same old shtick of copying classic VK, while letter ver is copying current VK*, I'd assume

*I mean, “trying something new”, but who are we kidding?

ligro has left the label last 1 or 2 month ago, I think the two other bans has disband.

Nice to A.S.K to find a label, but I think they not make a good deal to sign on DeathTrap.

 

and for Veled it's note "(VLD Records)" what is it ?

Seems like it's just a sublabel of Death trap-Records made for Veled. It's nothing unusual; Speed-disk makes sublabels like crazy, hahaha

Super cool!

inartistic always seems to be incredibly lucky of what he receives in his LuckyBags, haha. 

Only sometimes haha―I've had some awesome ones, but most are only OK and some are absolutely terrible (I've had bags where I already have literally every CD, lol). It's only 'cause I buy so many and only post about the good ones that it seems I have some good luck... In reality, I've had 6 copies of Phantasmagoria - Dejavu, probably 20 copies of 12012 mini-album reissues, 20 copies of Phantasmagoria revival CDs, etc., lol

Mostly I just buy them for the 1 distributed CD or DVD that comes in each bag. Those are what I really love... I wish UNDER CODE would have done a bag full of those!!

ARENA never featured anybody important to me, so I'm not really sad about it, but it's still shocking as a sort of “famous” magazine. But oh well... as long as Cure is still around...!

^ Dear Dolce president 新城歌澄(shinjou kasumi) & ラドック(raddock) Gt.yuki are both Unlucky Morpheus members

Ahhh, that explains it. Thanks

This is so weird. Seems like it will be released by some doujin band label(?) Unlucky Morpheus?

How do they even have the rights? I would imagine that Dear Dolce would own the rights to those bands' music, right? What connection does this Unlucky Morpheus have to the band? I don't get it at all

Hmm, I'm curious about the release details... Why not publish them now, unless there is something special going on? Perhaps that issue of Cure will also announce new band of ex-members, or a new label?!

One can dream at least... ♪

New GCR band? Haven't been super impressed by the others so far, so we'll see (if so)

Girl, I before E

Oh, I didn't know that, but I was wondering why other UC bands didn't look for another lable...

 

Thanks for the information.

Yeah, I wondered why some UCP bands didn't just move to GOEMON RECORDS... I guess because it is located in Tokyo rather than Kansai. Or maybe there just wasn't enough money, eheh

^ UNDER CODE already closed in May. REALies joined a new label called GOEMON RECORDS, which is run by president YU-I (formerly CindyKate vocalist). REALies already released their first single, LiNE, through this new label. This single will be their 2nd one with GOEMON RECORDS.

These guys are duuumb. They look so cool that they could have easily put out a shitty little single and made some money off of us face fan foreigners! Now what!

I doubt it's sales, considering that at least 4 white people bought the album, which is at least a 400% increase compared to their singles' sales.

But seriously, I would guess that they are so shit tiny that sales don't make a difference either way. The hiatus has to be because Minamo is leaving, since he wrote like 80% of their songs. 

^ A SID tribute album covering only one song? That's kinda lame ;_;

Ugh, don't want them to change their sound ;(. They just finally got good!

You just jelly of my sick collection brah!?!?!?!

I do have some tapes I do like and want to keep and a bunch I'm like, ugggh stupid auctions with 500 demo tapes of crap.

Yet even though these song aren't that rare, nice to have it in a format I can use.

Yeeeah dude, like a million auctions with the same fucking tapes and 1 different one ;_;

I'd be interested to see what the quality of these are. I assume Kisaki had the raw studio recs lying around, so these should be better than what was put to tape?

TBH, I would guess that they're the same quality as whatever's been floating around for years... Back when they put some (all?) of this stuff up at UNDER GROUND MUSIC, that's pretty much what it sounded like. And even though the web shop says these have been “remastered”, that tends to be a complete bold-faced lie with UNDER CODE.

The fact that there's nothing truly rare (eg. Vierge, vie eternele, those two L~CYFER demotapes that have NEVER appeared anywhere) says it all, IMO. I don't think he has masters or even original copies of half of these things, lol.

Edit: lol, I see now that the description says it's from original masters. Read it at a glance and thought it said “remastered”. Anyway, still pressed that there's nothing really rare like MIRAGE's first stuff, L~CYFER, etc.
