Plus info: the coupling song is called Curse of Rose. It has a "band sound approach" whatever that means here (I guess live instruments?), and is supposedly "intensely sad". GoogleTranslate'd from Kaya's blog.

Yep, the info-bits sound promising! And thx for linking that translation!

SUGIZO will release not one, but two new albums on December 7th, in 2 types (regular CD, limited CD+DVD). The album titles are Tree of Life and Flower of Life. Participating artists include: Mick Karn, Steve Jansen, JUNO REACTOR, SYSTEM 7, Youth, Origa, Lori Fine (COLDFEET), Dub Master X, Toshinori Kondo, MaZDA, d-kiku, Shinya.

He's the one who usually arranges Kaya's songs (almost all of them, I think?).

Cool, looking forward to it!! Song credits (taken from Kaya's OHP and blog): Lyrics: Kaya Music (and guitar): Hizaki Arrangement: Hizaki, Kei Suzuki Guest chorus: Selia (from Seileen/Tokyo Decadance)

Updated tracklist: 01.DELUGE 02.SINK 03.瞑葬(meisou) They decided to go with a different B-side. However, that long-ass titled track will be on their album coming out in 2012.

LOL at all the hate/whatever because of a one-time session band nobody will hear about.

So cool.

^ Oh that would be pretty cool! Thx for the offer! ^^ Here's a part of it by the way.

I heard it will only have 2 songs sung by Isshi, the others were not completed before his death. Not really interested in this, just wanted to point that out.

Pretty kickass Manson photoshoot in the new issue of Italian magazine Uomo Vogue! There's also an interview, I'll link it as soon as I see an English translation.

Boys Don't Cry Depressing/heartbreaking/infuriating but good movie.

^ Yep, they are! Here are the links: FAR EAST LULLABY DVD Katte ni shiyagare (last press) SINGLES single collection

Both CDs will be released on November 23. Here's the tracklist of SINGLES: Disk-1（2008-2009） 01＿未遂 02＿俺の彼女はリストカッター 03＿国境の花嫁 04＿堕落論 05＿噛みついて離れない 06＿この人生はフィクションです 07＿禁忌 08＿アルケミー 09＿ゲルニカに噤む 10＿拝啓、売国奴の皆様　靖國の空が哭いています 11＿未遂─UNPLUGGED─ Disk-2（2010-2011） 01＿食物連鎖 02＿ゲルニカに噤む─UNPLUGGED─ 03＿セックス 04＿噛みついて離れない─UNPLUGGED─ 05＿エクスタシー 06＿家出少女のように 07＿スロウ、ダンス 08＿副作用 09＿プラットホーム 10＿告別 11＿乱脈 12＿樹海（バラッド） It looks like it will have literally all their songs that were released on singles, be it regular or live-only, or second press. The last song of Disc-2 is a special "ballad" version that can be also found on their upcoming DVD (as an endroll/credits music). All the tracks will be remastered by the way. So basically if you buy both the album and the single-collection then you'll have all their songs (except for those two live-recorded tracks on their concert album).

Tracklist: 01. 水鏡 (Mizukagami) 02. 真夏のReNdeZveuS (Manatsu no ReNdeZveuS) 03. 錆びた景色 (Sabita keshiki) 04. 悲しみDance (Kanashimi Dance) 05. 時計の針 (Tokei no hari) 06. PIECE FIVE 07. 紅い花 -ver.AquaRisM.- (Akai hana) Didn't expect this many songs! Yeah, I know, two of them are old tracks but still... xD

I'd say The Marrow of a Bone was their first "not really visual" release. Though they/Kyo looked pretty visual in the Clever Sleazoid PV (but I think that preceded the album almost a year or something?). So yeah, I'd say from TMoaB.

cali≠gari's Murai Kenjirou is an animal on the bass. No other Japanese musicians come to mind at the moment. 9jICdj4IwgM (see from around 2:58, omg) lsu3KJjOxZE (whole song is awesome bass-wise, but especially from 2:16)

Their homepage looks pretty neat. I hope to hear from them!

Wow didn't know you like Slayer! And while we're at Dave Lombardo and Slayin', here's a fun medley/tribute by Mike Patton's Fantomas project (also featuring Lombardo on drums of course ): 64zaVEQBMiw

^ Yeah, God Hates Us All is a kickass album: the good ol' Slayer attitude with a beefed-up sound. My other faves are South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss. The other albums are good too but these are the most memorable for me.

Today's the 25th anniversary of a certain metal masterpiece... Uikj9feH3M8 Still amazing.

This vid made my day. dpegGW1oEaQ

LOL just what I was thinking. xD

Yeah, I think it's a support drummer too. They don't show him much, plus he's not even on the band photo. Weird that they didn't announce Minato's leave though...

Second single announced! The title is Final Feast, and it's getting released in 2 versions as well (regular: 2 tracks CD, limited: 2 tracks CD + PV-DVD). The release date is December 14.
