Jigsaw9

Some oldies from Rarezhut... ...and some (relatively) new cali≠gari stuff.

The band's official site seems to be down so I assume they're already preparing the "AINSified" one.

Looks like AINS is returning with full force (that other new band Jiga seems promising for now too)! Looking forward to the full-length, eventhough I still haven't listened to their mini, lol.

Hmmmmm based on the sample it could be anything, but so far my interest is piqued! Having some Grieva flashbacks not gonna lie (what with the flower motif and releasing a full-length so early). edit: Just found the MV preview too, not bad.

You might have already seen it in the News section, but:

Sounds okay so far~

Official collab photos are upppp lookin' greatttt ♥ Also, an interview in Japanese with the guys has been published HERE~

the god and death stars held their free oneman gig【god god god】at Shinjuku Zirco Tokyo on 2019/12/27 where Mako joined them for 2 songs. 01.オカルト 02.焼失 03.good night my love 04.死神のルルル 05.出来事と偶然の為の媒体 06.藁の犬 07.aaron 08.ミンチ 09.ママイズジャム 10.母乳 11.薄荷 12.life is beautiful 13.君に決めた 14.love hole 15.真っ赤な雪 16.elephant in the room（with:眞呼） 17.夜を歩く葡萄（with:眞呼） 18.dawn of the god

Randomly watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets last night. It was big dumb sci-fi adventure fun, no more no less. Obviously not a cinematic masterpiece but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that! Now it doesn't seem that troubling, haha (but still not a good situation to be in).

ラク×ガキ (RAKU×GAKI) apparently has a new look, quite stylish~ Individual members:

This isn't closely related to the single, but I didn't feel it warrented its own thread: Atsushi will be lending his voice to one of the characters of some weird CG-animated movie about cats called "NEKO KIKAKU" which will have its release sometime in 2020. He's only credited as a "guest" so he probably won't have that big of a role, I just thought it was amusing. Here's a teaser thingie for the movie from back in the summer:

oof, that sucks... especially since they're a one-guitarist band. Not looking too good, but here's to hoping they'll continue somehow~

Always with the frickin' mandatory growling and """heaviness""", these new bands......... The other song was so much more promising (and hinted at a completely different style), lol.

It's not any kind of punk, really... And yeah, I kinda regret clicking on the video, I should have known better, lol.

Good to see we have a definite release date and title now (that title tho.............)

It's official: visual kei is saved.

The bonus track of the limited edition will be a live version of the title track: 堕天使 (THE DAY IN QUESTION 2019 LIVE at 高崎芸術劇場 [2019.12.3])

Haha, yeah, I saw that tweet too... Almost made a thread but thought I'd wait till there's more solid information out. Super stoked for it!!! Canou & co are on a roll these past few years again, thankfully. ♥

That's an interesting lineup for sure! Also good to see Nimo getting back to easily googleable band names.

Looks like the band is already playing the title track of the single in the encores of their current "THE DAY IN QUESTION" mini-tour! Not only that, the setlists looks pretty solid too. Here's the one from two days ago: 01. 夢魔-THE NIGHTMARE 02. 唄 03. 獣たちの夜 04. Jonathan Jet-Coaster 05. 羽虫のように 06. 絶界 07. 細胞具ドリー:ソラミミ:PHANTOM 08. PINOA ICCHIO -躍るアトム- 09. 月下麗人 10. Snow white 11.

LOVE ME Hopefully we'll get to hear some samples of the new songs soon~ edit: I tried to dig up some info on how "堕天使" sounds on blogs/Twitter, but couldn't rly find much. The only thing ppl mentioned about it that it was unusual/unexpected, and someone said the intro reminded them of "American rock", whatever that might entail, lol.
