Now that's a memeable title

Self awareness is real 

I swear to god their looks are created using a bot mixing a random historic period, a visual kei/mainstream fashion trend, and an unrelated word or two on a formula;
you can legit sum them up as:
 
トゥーン・ワールド: 1976 Playboy Mansion Yakuza Birthday Rave Comedown
人喰テディベア: 2009 Penicillin Cosplayers Looking Edgy At An Animecon
ポップコーンモンスター: 1992 Very Kawaii David Lynch Psychopath Clown Extravaganza
ボクラノウタ: 2006 High School Halloween Thrift Store White Room Carnival
Jesus Phobia: 1950 Masonic Initiation Meets A Failed Versailles Skit
WELCOME TO GHOST HOTEL: 2005 Nu-Metal Visual Kei Scene Embarrassment
反抗声明: 1999 VK Band Graduating On A JPop Label Potpourri
カルチャーショック: 2012 Tumblr Demiboy Moodboard Realness
This Thing: 1984 Down Syndrome Awareness Campaign Retro-Couture
 

(their next single: 4000 BC Indigo Child Caveman Morigirl Homage)

The constant and drastic changes of look and sound that this band has had since they were born may tell that they've always been managed by a group of people that tries everything they have near them just to sell them as much as possible... 
 
For me, they are the prototype of what in this forum people call the "idolized" VK industry of the recent years.

This title sounds like "the last single before we announce our disband"

I agree, its poorly made, what I mean "common" is that these S.E. doesn't indicate any musical direction change, it's just V kei cliche. Sorry for my broken English😝
 
It also not a good indicator of their composing skills, at least not fully. These two genre require some totally different skills, so even some of the talent composer in the scene fail to do it well.
 
It really show how little budget they are. I like vanitas PV the most, but compare to issei era's PV production value (Vanitas=white background+couch/Issei era pv=location shooting+studio shooting+actress), you can literary tell how much mitsu money issei is received.😂

Sure it's common, but something being "common" isn't necessarily and indicator of "goodness" for itself.
In my case, it never came as something "good" to me the insistence of bandoman on using cringe-worthy EDM curtains. And sure, that could be a good indicator of the bands composing skills, along with other stuff that may show the lack of inspiration, like the rising dependence on formula-stuff for the whole work (music, visuals, lyrics, live performance, etc.). So, yeah, we can agree on oneself actually waiting for the release to have an opinion, but... man, look at the sloppy EDM and horrible video editing those PVs have. At least the hair and make-up work are pretty gorgeous... I really hope that the reason behind this is actually low budget.
Btw, there are really few examples of actually well crafted and used EDM in the scene. 

reviving this thread to give a commentary of their april 19th revival live at tsutaya o-east in shibuya.
i was lucky enough to score a ticket and go, and aaa, too many feels...

I love him always being so dramatical and cheesy😍

This line-up is like 

my thoughts on this band exactly

The prodution is way better and I'm glad they didn't clutter the mix as they did on Jingai. The instrumentals are decent and I dig the atmospheric vibe of some parts but the composition is rather boring and I still think Mio sounds like absolute crap. His harsh vocals kinda sound weaker than on Jingai tbh but that might be the mix.
 
 

Ouch... they really don't know where they're going... it sounds like a mortal kombat song... which is not a good thing at all... really disappointed in them lately...
To think that they were the ones to release Oboreru Sakana as a debut song, which was also one of the 3 or 5 best VK songs that year... We're very far from that quality now

Lanju's is a great bassist, so I'm getting a little excited after this!

Good lord, I love this hot hunk kei™

In this days many drawings and symbols appear on the monitor of my computer done with the fingers  i stay try to find the meaning of this drawings and symbols that i hope to find sooner, i was

Run, you surely are going to get slaughtered here!

Well... it sounds like a solid song, so good for them I guess.
 
That said, I think this is where I'm officially dropping off the DEZERT train cuz it's clear where they're headed stylistically. It's not that I don't like this style but if I wanna listen to DEZERT this is not the kind of stuff I wanna hear, if that makes sense. I know, I know, "musical growth" and "progress" and stuff like that, but to me this sounds like a completely different band and not a gradual organic transition.

Kyo isn't flawless, we already know he had always pushed himself so hard that today he has a pretty much messed up throat. But I feel his work in sukekiyo, while being way more melodic and sophisticated than in late Dir, let him put out the best of his performance all the way up rather than in his former band. So listening to sukekiyo feels actually really refreshing and more natural when it is about listening to Kyo, imho.
