アンチフェミニズム(∀NTI FEMINISM) with HIZAKI(Jupiter) at 2016/01/11:

Kenzi needs to do this again.

砂月 -Satsuki- new release [EPOCALIPSE] will be on sale on March 19th, 2016.
 
[EPOCALIPSE] is divided in 2 pieces : [ECLIPSE] & [APOCALYPSE].
 
[ECLIPSE] is the « past » and the « present » of Satsuki.
 
With [APOCALYPSE], Satsuki will show us a new side of his personality, new approaches on his way of using his technical vocal skills. He worked for the first time with European producers (ENOS IS BACK) in order to give a new vibe to his songs and that particular « progressive metal » touch. This opus can be considered as a new era for Satsuki, the « future ».
 
The first press of [ECLIPSE] & [APOCALYPSE] are digipaks (limited copies).
 
If you reunite the 2 releases, you will get [EPOCALIPSE] and display the full cd cover by a Satsuki painting.

First of all, I’ve never really listened to DOLLY (but I’ve heard great things about them!), so I don’t have much to compare DOPPEL to.  This was one of those rare “blind purchases” for me, where I wasn’t familiar with the band members or their previous work, but I went on my gut feeling of really liking the PV preview and some song snippets on Amazon.jp.  In any case, I’m thoroughly enjoying this release!  “-胎瞳-“ is a pleasant little SE track.  Nothing to write home about, but it does set the mood well.  “エッグノック” starts off like an old Moran track (the style that I love): prominent basslines, airy piano, lovely violin.  I don’t know how much to attribute to the compositions or the great guest musicians, but the music is beautiful.  I’m also enjoying Mitsu’s voice!  Like I said, I’ve never listed to DOLLY before, but Mitsu has one of those highly exaggerated "VK" voices, but in the good way.  “Anemθne” has a great funky beat to it and some cool guitar riffs.  Once again, some great musicianship.  “Till” amps up the electronic elements.  It’s a combination of a very dance-y beat in the foreground, with some beautiful twinkly bleeps and bloops in the background (kind of reminded me of the group neue nahel’s take on electronic).  However, I’m not AS keen on Mitsu’s singing in this song; sounds a bit strained (or restrained?)…  Still a very solid track.  “-朔剥-“ is another SE track, this time combining heavy beats and some faint piano chords.  “MOONLIGHT xxxx” is a worthy closing track.  It opens with a very video game-y synth line, before going into some pretty piano.  As the song builds, it introduces all kinds of elements like some string arrangements giving it a “grand” feel, as well as a beautiful acoustic guitar solo. 

My favorites are definitely “MOONLIGHT xxxx” and “エッグノック” and they exhibit a kind of feel-good, yet mature, well-composed pop.  The songs are very pretty, “pleasant,” and easy to listen to in a “pop” sense, but there are also creative compositions with many layers of piano, strings, and synths.  I’m looking forward to what this group will do next and I feel like I also need to peruse the DOLLY discography in the meantime.  Also, from a purely visual perspective, I think the band has a unique aesthetic, from their costumes to their booklet design.  DOPPEL is definitely a band to check out!

 

I'll try, but this is impossible.

Had you asked me this tomorrow the list would've been slightly different. I might had chosen another Alcest, Summoning, Paysage d'Hiver or Summoning album, or chosen different bands alltogether. The three albums I always keep on a list like this is Hail Horror Hail, San and Under the Sign of the Black Mark, the rest will always look different. It all depends on what day you ask me this on, how I am feeling and so on.

yukino plays everything now GOD OF NAGOYA KEI

Passed by Tsutaya in Shibuya yesterday, and with all the reviews here in mind I decided to buy the album, and wow. It's fucking amazing...

1, "Cruel Sacrifice"

Lyrics: 夕慈 Music: LEON

ichi de hizamaduki, ni de kubi wo kagamase, san de kubi wo haneru
壱で膝間づき、弐で首を屈ませ、参で首を刎ねる

chi no daishou... saa... saa...
血の代償…さあ…さあ…

chinamagusai ishuu to tomo ni fureta
血生臭い異臭と共に触れた
anata no kurenai ga someru yuuyake wa azayaka ni
貴女の紅が染める夕焼けは鮮やかに

demo, ima wa namida de nijinde mienai
でも、今は涙で滲んで見えない
kaeshite... kaeshite... kaeshite...
返して…返して…返して…

gyatei gyatei hara gyatei, harasou gyatei, bouji, sowaka*
掲帝掲帝波羅掲帝、波羅僧掲帝、菩提、僧莎詞*

kimi wa damatta mama suzushi sou na kao de,
君は 黙ったまま涼しそうな顔で、
donna sekai wo mite iru?
どんな世界を見ている？

soko ni yasuragi wa arimasu ka?
其処に安らぎはありますか？

shibarareta tsugunai aishuu,
縛られた償い哀愁、
yume de saita ore no kijo sae shikai ni nai
夢で咲いた俺の貴女さえ視界にない

demo, ima wa namida de nijinde mienai
でも、今は涙で滲んで見えない
kaeshite... kaeshite... kaeshite...
返して…返して…返して…

kimi wa damatta mama suzushi sou na kao de,
君は 黙ったまま涼しそうな顔で
donna sekai wo mite iru?
どんな世界を見ている？

soko ni yasuragi wa arimasu ka?
其処に安らぎはありますか？

shisou kaerareru nara, donna ni sukuwareru darou?
思想変えられるなら、どんなに救われるだろう？

shiki ga wasuresaseta shiawase wo ima koko ni...
四季が忘れさせた幸せを今此処に…

* There are fragments of Hannya Shingyou (般若心経), A Buddhist Heart Sutra, romaji transcription is not perfect though.

2. "Kuroajisai"
「黒紫陽花」

Lyrics: 夕慈 Music: LEON

shoka... shimeru yoru ni saku usu-murasaki-iro no ajisai wa,
初夏…湿る夜に咲く薄紫色の紫陽花は、
shijou hodo no tatami no mushi ni shokusare mashita
四畳ほどの畳の上蟲に食されました

At night that you believed… lie、lie

samayou AGEHA ga watashi no mae wo HIRARI HIRARI
彷徨うアゲハが私の前をヒラリヒラリ
"watashi ni mo sono jiyuu wo wakete yo...."
「私にもその自由を分けてよ…。」

koko ni... koko ni aru wa kuruizaki no kokoro,
此処に…此処に在るは狂い咲きの心、
yokubou ni karareru mama
欲望に駆られるまま

jibun no sonzai riyuu sura wakaranaku natte
自分の存在理由すら解らなくなって

"umareta kikei no kuroi ajisai...
「生まれた奇形の黒い紫陽花…
sono minikui sama wa anata no kao ni sokkuri ne"
その醜い様は貴方の顔にそっくりね」

koko ni... koko ni aru wa kuruizaki no kokoro,
此処に…此処に在るは狂い咲きの心、
yokubou ni karareru mama
欲望に駆られるまま

koko de... koko de naru wa fuurin no oto no shita,
此処で…此処で鳴るは風鈴の音の下、
hakkyou suru aegigoe sa...
狂する喘ぎ声さ…

3. "Kokou ni Tou Tsuioku no Kagen no Tsuki"
「孤高に問う追憶の下弦の月」

Lyrics: 夕慈 Music: LEON

namida to tomo ni shizumu taiyou "oyasumi" to shimi tsukubatta
涙と共に沈む太陽「おやすみ」と滲み蹲った
"ohayou" to yami no naka shizuka ni kao wo dasu kagen no tsuki, hoshiboshi wa ore wo terashite warai,
「おはよう」と闇の中静かに顔を出す下弦の月、星々は俺を照らして笑い、
yume yori mo kodoku to kako no gensou wo utsushiteku
夢よりも孤独と過去の幻想を映してく

umareta mama no kokoro de irareta nara arasoi mo, ai mo kurushimi mo nakatta no ni,
生まれたままの心でいられたなら,争いも、愛も苦しみもなかったのに、
itsu kara ka ushinau koto wo osorete chikaduku koto mo dekizu ni mata hitori
いつからか失うことを恐れて近づく事も出来ずにまた独り

inochi ga hora waratte iru. ikura ai wo utai dare ka wo sukutta to shite mo, ai suru hito hitori, aisenai jibun ga iru
命がほら笑っている。幾ら愛を唄い誰かを救ったとしても、愛する人一人、愛せない自分がいる
shi wo omoi, kodou wa ima, genjitsu wo kamishime, kawaru koto wa nai kara utau
死を想い、鼓動は今、現実を噛み締め、変わる事はないから唄う

nande jibun dake to nageita yoru wa hito shirazu, "shi ni takunai." to sakende mo, kanau hazunai
なんで自分だけと嘆いた夜は人知らず、「死にたくない。」と叫んでも、叶うはずない
sonna koto mo uwakatte iru kara, semete kono koe dake demo todoite yo
そんなこともうわかっているから、せめてこの声だけでも届いてよ

kono kodou ni toikakeru. "mada ikite mo ii desu ka?" to
この鼓動に問いかける。「まだ生きてもいいですか？」と
"mada utatte ii desu ka?" to
「まだ唄っていいですか？」と
kodou ga koko ni aru uchi ni...
鼓動が此処にあるうちに…

Well, I managed to transcribe this lyrics and put romaji yet today and I didn't experience any serious problems with my task. Although rather convinced, some kanji may still be mistyped, as I don't study Japanese actively anymore, this is my first transcription since about two years and I naturally could make one or two mistakes. So, if someone else would prefer to translate this lyrics, please, check them out one more time at first.
 
Anyway, big thanks to @miyamoto_kasumi for lossless rip and beautiful scans one more time. I'm very happy I could obtain them so unexpectedly - I would never believe I e'er get them, just, let's say, month ago.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiit Yukina and Isuke are fine.
Whachu fools talkin aboot?
 
Visually I think 90s VK looks the best but it's not a damn dats hot I want to fxxks kinda aesthetic. Out of make up and looking like a normal person that I could talk to, now sign me up for that bandwagon.
 
Yayoi definitely looks his age :V
 
Also Kohey is still a cutey.

After departure of Gt.瑞希 / Mizuki and Ba.ユウ / Yuu at 2013.07.19, 3 members have joined PolterGeist at 2013.10.20 : Gt.興佑 / Kousuke (ex-α:Vout-->Louder), Ba.キユキ / Kiyuki (ex-VAJRA) and Dr.狛耶 / Hakuya (ex-NightingeiL-->Louder).
 
They have joined a new label called LIZARD NEO.
 
Their new single "XIII Stairs" will be released at 2013.12.18 (1575 yens).

LOL

новый альбом газетте посредственный
 
 
 
типа
я встречал мнение в топике про ревьювы что они разучились делать кетчи припевы
жаль что я сам до этого недопетрил, но по факту это так
в каждой песне эти припевы нифига не цепляют, т.е. там есть какие-то линии (вокальные), но им чего-то не хватает 
может эмоциональности
единственная песня которая мне нравится это ласт хейвен, но она в принципе содрана с каких-то таких же одноплановых попсовых песен-баллад под гитарку
зато красивая
 
 
собственно, в альбоме нет, как я называю, центровой песни
типа 13 стеирс из дима, или суисайд сёкус из токсика (кстати токсик - говно)
в дивижИне её тоже не было, но там и концепция другая и сами песни хорошие, причём в принципе все
 
 
я, типа, не фанат газетте, но они делают (иногда) норм музло
а я фанат норм музла
жаль что в этом году они так мисанули
 
в принципе, в этом году ничего интересного и не осталось
а альбом газетте в этом вашем мейнстрим вижуал кей сфере всё-таки событие, причём, одно из самых главных
жаль что  этом году как-то с этим не получилось
 
 
 
 
 
одинокий вой одинокого волка на одинокую луну

I had a similar thought. Less Human Abstract and more current Dir en grey with RES flair. About halfway through the album I thought to myself "This sounds like RES's later releases", I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!
 
Oddly enough I developed an interest (JUST interested) when Seven came out because it had a rough and crazy sound to it, I didn't necessarily like it, it was just something to consider. Then their self-titled came out and suddenly "Dir en grey-lite" became a thing for another band; but this time it's a bit more clear cut. The vocals reek of Kyo's influence I'm almost repulsed by it. Take that and introduce guitar work that bounces through the same measures (no extended phrases, all confined to a rock structure) and you have an album that though cool in scope, sounds like shit. This isn't just 4 guys wanting to be like Dir en grey, that would give them too much credit -- instead it's 4 guys who are trying so hard to be brutal but end up making something that's derivitave. This has all been done before (which isn't necessarily a PROBLEM, we can all enjoy derivitave things), though at the very least it'll be fun to see where they go next with their musical direction.

ха-ха, фореваелоун топик=)
