New MV (and the new mini album is also out) EkSOOiMDGiY Personally I don't like this one as much as their previous title tracks...though the vid itself looks nice. edit: welp, didn't really like the mini album either. xD The last two songs are nice though.

Oh okay, so about 5-6 songs plus drum solo I guess. Thanks for the info!

Any information on what they played / setlist? (though I heard it's usually only 4-5 songs) Thx in advance.

There was a special discount recently at the cinema in the mall, so me and my friend went to see: The Possession (crappy and boring horror flick) Expendables 2 (awesomeness!!! 8D)

Oh. My. Fucking. God. I'm totally there!!!

According to Encyclopaedia Metallum, Leda played bass on these two full-lengths: One For All - All For One (2007) Reincarnation (2008)

Well, I can't really see why taking drugs is so appealing (i.e. why people even start trying them), given their addictive nature, side effects, etc... I'm personally like "whatever, everyone ruins themselves if they want to", but don't really understand the whole "thing" of it. Never took drugs, and never will. There are lots of other stuff that can give you a sense of high, e.g. music, sex, etc.

Interesting... Nice to see Amon in a band again.

Mine would be A and NoGod. Both sound like they really know what they're doing, have a certain style, and pretty awesome musical skills (especially NoGod) but ehh... A sounds too corny/cheesy for me (not in a good way), and NoGod just simply bores me.

Awesome cover!!! Also, I think I remember reading that they'll make a music video for The Tempest as well.

Thanks for the tracklist and mini-observations/infos! Cool that they played the new Byou「」shin.

BUCK-TICK - BUCK-TICK Genshou at THE LIVE INN (DVD)

Started re-watching Monster yesterday. Hoping to actually finish it this time. xD

Cool! Looking forward to seeing some setlists.

(info from the official LUNA SEA Facebook page) Wow, can't wait!!!

I'm totally up for it! And yeah, maybe weekend is better.

Since I'm more of an album person, I'm gonna go with debut albums... BOØWY - MORAL (1982) An interesting album, especially considering that at the time of recording the band had 6 members instead of the 4-piece that would later gain legendary status. The extra guitar and saxophone parts help make this a fun and quirky listen, with a punkish attitude that gradually faded with the later albums. Although the production is a bit lacking in punch, the well-written and catchy songs make up for that in this rather short (barely over half an hour) release. BUCK-TICK - HURRY UP MODE (1987) B-T's first album is a fun ride through tracks ranging from post-punk through ska-influenced bits to genuine pop-rock. Not overproduced, the bass and drums have a healthy power to them, while the two guitars complement each other in a really cool way. A strong debut from an at-the-time up and coming band, all the more remarkable since, except 2 songs, all the music/lyrics were written by Imai Hisashi (guitarist). D'ERLANGER - LA VIE EN ROSE (1989) Together with BUCK-TICK and X JAPAN, D'ERLANGER laid the foundations of what was to become known as "visual kei" or "visual rock", both in aesthetics and musical style, as can be observed on this album. If we were to make a comparison they would stand between the aforementioned bands: poppy melodies delivered with a punky edge, leaning towards a hard rock/metal influenced sound. An influential release, and rightfully so. JUDE - Charming bloody Tuesday (2002) Quite astoundingly, when Asai Kenichi decided to make a full-length release with his at-the-time newest project JUDE, he went for recording two whole albums, this one being my favorite of those. Asai's infectuous style that can shift from soft ethereal melodies to biting guitar attacks in a blink of an eye is characteristic here, much like his long-running band BLANKEY JET CITY, but JUDE's music is more atmospheric - especially on this beautiful record. Merry - Gendai Stoic (2003) After a small handful of live-distributed demos/singles, Merry decided to make an album - and boy, does it deliver! At the time I first listened to Gendai Stoic I'd never heard anything like it before: a cavalcade of different sounds and moods, melted together with an instantly recognizable jazzy & punky style. The two guitarists (also the main songwriters) play immensely catchy melodies, and together with the characteristic "walking bass" parts it makes for quite a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The vocals and drums are stellar too, making this band (and release) truly unique and unforgettable.

According to Amazon.co.jp, the LIVE INN footage will remain the same (14 minutes). Here is the tracklist for its bonus material though, from 1988 NISSIN POWER STATION gig: 01. …IN HEAVEN… 02. HURRY UP MODE 03. PHYSICAL NEUROSE 04. VICTIMS OF LOVE 05. HYPER LOVE 06. SEXUAL×××××! 07. MISTY ZONE
