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!

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...!

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

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!

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

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.

Oh damn, forgot that they had those songs too. Didn't know of SHION at all, I think. Weird/sad how they debuted a couple of songs and never played them again really. (BTW, one of those untitled songs you referred to became My place and is on a CD. But you're right about not hearing the rest ;(.)

Yeah, so 50 people participating, not 50 bands. Anyway, cool! Only got into DEAD END with their revival, but they're super good.

I haven't received the album yet, so only have their singles to go from, but: from my experience, GAUZES is def inspired by those bands, but not blatantly ripping off melodies like Grieva (but on the flip side, not as polished as Grieva either).

Literally only care about Mana being in it ahahah. Nice trick KAMIJO

Good @ them using the elderly. Get that growing and unexploited fanbase gurl ♪

Dude that's awesome hahaha

Yeah, what?

Thanks
