that's one of my faves in that album oh I don't doubt his skills, I just don't think it would match his music, Syu always has this aggressive feel to his music while I find Hizaki has a certain "romantic" edge

It was my fave album, I loved all the songs in that album except vampire, to me it was the self-titled one that felt lackluster and didn't really represented them at their best. But yes more Teru and Masashi(really love thanatos) should do like 2-3 songs each and the rest can give it up to Hizaki I doubt Hizaki could do Syu type of metal, I just don't see him doing it

oh thanks will try them, thanks

I'm really digging the Yeti mini-album right now with the light vocals and abstract-hard-rock feel. Any recommendations to similar bands?

Been a hip-hop head since 2002, I know quite a bit from Juice Crew to now. But my preference has been the golden era.

I still really like this band, although their lead guitarist is a little too classical metal as I saw him perform in their live DVD, it really ruined the groove LuLu had with their original guitarists

Diru is the biggest one also Luna Sea

well said, although I would attribute Stage 3 to their light~rose~darkness concept which seemed to call for a lighter voice. In comparison to stage one which imo is just them doing undead themed songs which I loved but I made more sense with a darker voice that Lareine vocals seriously threw me off when I first heard it lol I don't mind the ZIN guy if he truly is the Tokami vocalist. As I went back to listen to some Tokami, not a huge fan but I did like them when I first heard them, he was very similar to Asagi and I liked Asagi. That band just had less metal to them compared to D. Is this confirmed to be Hizaki's band as in Hizaki will take full creative control?

its been like 2 years since I've heard anything from them but will defo buy this
