It just leaked on youtube. I gotta say, with the exception of INSIDE BEAST, it is a complete eargasm 0_o EDIT : Also, to the guy who said that ruki didn't have a great range, please listen to LOSS.

It looks like they kinda got that "weirdness" back from the old days, instead of making "safe" PV's like they did the last few years. That being said, I didn't enjoy this song as much as I expected, I'm looking forward to the rest of the album though.

No Youtube?

I didn't know there were more active dutch members beside me and linh-san Waarom zegt niemand iets bij de international thread ><

Since he switched over to a more "deeper" style of singing, his range seemed to decrease a tiny bit. But I think it still sounds a million times better than when he was singing with that "high pitched" style of his.

I agree, it's been a long time since they did songs in standard tuning, too long. Songs like shichi gatsu youka and shunsetsu no koro were in standard tuning (I think), and they sounded great.

No prob, What I try to do is make the lead guitar not sound similar, but have similar notes in it. That way, you can make lots of different melodies, but still have it sound as if the rythm and lead actually belong together (hope that makes sense). I could upload one of my songs sometime, so you could see what I mean.

never thought I would see ruki with a hookah, haha

I don't think so, it could be. The funny thing is though, I can kinda see what you mean xD

Even though they kept their electro style a little bit, I feel like they really got out of the TOXIC era this time I'm gonna download it as soon as possible, and then I'm deff gonna buy it ! お楽しみー

This really reminds me of the first few songs that I tried to make. And just like me, you REALLY need to pay attention to which melodies go together and which ones don't. It sounds good for a first attempt, but the rythm guitar just doesn't go with the lead guitar. You do have creativity, I can hear that. So keep in mind what I told you, and keep making music

He's doing pretty well in the visual kei scene, isn't he.

You're right, because all we can judge now are the previews, not the entire songs. Can't wait to hear the solo's

Yes, Dir En Grey, haha Welcome aboard man.

Welcome aboard. I do know YOHIO, Is he still active ?

Holland, I haven't seen many dutch members either..

Has anyone noticed how good ruki's english pronunciation has gotten in "IN BLOSSOM" ? I can finally make out some parts of what he's saying xD

Them saying that the album would betray our expectations, was just spot on... I really didn't think that they would go in this direction. To me, it sounds really different, apart from the first 2 songs, I really enjoyed the rest of the previews

See, I told you you sound better with high pitched songs

I think they look better than they did in fadeless.

Not only that, but FADELESS has also made a pretty good impression on me, along with FORBIDDEN BEAVER. I didn't like QUIET as much tbh, just the solo.

Do you happen to know where I can watch this show ?

^ Yeah ur right I just really hope the album wont have repetitive chords in it like Division.

I was talking about you saying that they do as they're told. I thought you meant "told" as in by the record company. If you meant by ruki, well, it does seem like he does not only compose a lot, but is also in control of a lot of what the gazette does. I honestly don't think of that as a bad thing, but if you do, I can respect that.

Now this is an example of a baseless claim, with no evidence at all. There is a possibility that its true though, I'll give you that. But the only reason I say that is because I cannot prove the contrary.
