Yeah it looks like the movie will document the band's activities in 2012... interesting, looking forward to it! (eventhough I was hoping it would be some kind of history movie xD)

Damn. This sucksss...

Agreed! This movie was one of the highlights of this year for me. Last movie watched: Burn After Reading Still fun (saw it for the 2nd time).

Tracklist: 01. Ahead Of The Light 02. Ahead Of The Light (Instrumental) regular ed. bonus DVD: Ahead Of The Light PV limited ed. bonus DVD: "SAMURAI SESSIONS vol.1" songs live footage

It would be cool if it was available at the Zoisite Shop, but seems like that's not the case.

Yesterday was the EP release concert where they sold-out all the copies they brought with them! Also, the CD is available for ordering through the address "info[at]lloy.jp" (they can send it with EMS). Those who order till January 11 will get a bonus CD with the cover version of Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit." 2012/12/27 setlist: 01. Scaredy Catty 02. Stalin 03.

Preview of the limited-edition bonus DVD can be now watched: 6FyrZi7hVqY

^ Yep, hoping the same.

Cooool~

Hmmm we'll see... so far this didn't really impress me too much (I'm guessing that was the chorus?).

The previews sound okay so far.

Cover art can be viewed here~

Thanks, sounds promising so far! Oh and before people start complaining how shitty the production/Yuuki's voice/everything sounds: remember, last time when they posted a preview vid for a release it was the same system, i.e. having a weird-sounding demo track as a preview, and later when the single came out the full songs were all nicely produced like always. ^^

It's not a list for 2012 though, but for your favorite releases ever - any year is okay! ...but good job with coming up with so much for this year. XD

^ Any and all genres of Japanese music are allowed (pop, rock, electronic, hip-hop, etc). Also, you don't have to limit yourself to one album/artist if you don't wanna.

Excellent setlist!

Cool pics!

The game is on! Just go to this nifty site, and compile a list of your 50 favorite Japanese releases (preferably albums or mini albums) of all time. If you're done you can save the list as an image file at the bottom of the page. Make sure to tick "Enable Album and Artist text" so we can see those artist names and titles! I'm really curious to see everyone's all-time list. I think it will be a great way to share our different tastes, and quite possibly make others interested in some cool music (or just have one of those "ah how could I have forgotten that one?!" moments xD). So come on, post away~

Wow, totally unexpected and totally awesome! Looking forward to it!

Hmmm it was an interesting song, that's for sure. It fluctuated between "eh, kinda boring" and "well, pretty nice!" for me. Overall it could not really hold my attention but it wasn't awful. 5/10 lN3W_HIMi1g

^ Yup, she is a live member apparently.
