TheStoic

That last album made me lose my interest in this band.
 
They used to be so good...

Since I am visiting more often, I have decided to put a face to the name.  This is me and my daughter ~ whom is a fan of AvelCain.

I always loved the sound Satoshi created in Para:noir and D.I.D - I never was very into UnsraW, but was hoping that something great would come out of this lineup.  I honestly did not like the preview, and wish Satoshi would have stayed with D.I.D ~ then again, nobody knows if D.I.D will ever get their shit together enough to release something new (waiting on you Fatal Error Trace...), so this is better than nothing.

I just want to hear that sick solo san is doing at the end. 

Satoshi..............................................................

I have a friend who started liking VK because of me, but he also likes KISS and AC/DC because of some other friend, so he basically listens to what his friends do I'm pretty positive that he's the only one I've even partially converted.
 
But nowadays I feel somehow extremely uncomfortable trying to "share" my songs if the person isn't already into VK. There are a few songs that are so personal and emotional to me that if a non-VK friend listened to them and ended up hating them, it would really feel bad. I do listen to VK sometimes when I'm with my non-VK friends, but I always end up choosing a band which isn't among my favorites. Somehow revealing my favorite songs would be way too personal for me or something.

No. most people where I live can't get pass the language barrier and are too narrow minded... not to mention they're all into this radio rap/pop bullshit that's popular here for some reason, so I doubt they even appreciate good music to begin with.
 
I however have successfully converted quite a few friends into watching subbed anime over dubbed xD

So what are people's thoughts on Mirror,Mirror?
 
It sounds very Nega to me.... but also like a very boring Nega song that doesn't really go anywhere.
 
Sometimes I make the mistake of equating rarity with quality, and I think I did that here. I got hyped cause it's a cool title and I didn't see it for auction for like a month after it came out... but I should remember that live-distro CDs are probably mostly made up of B-sides that the band already decided weren't really good enough for proper release, and that's exactly what Mirror, Mirror sounds like.
 

Not assuming that it'd interest everyone but here's translation of Aoi's 13th Anniversary pamphlet interview out of pure interest:

Tells a bit about Gazette's usual songwriting processes and a bit about Aoi's desires/hopes as well
 
Also, Ruki tweeted about getting a "dangerous/risky song" done...I wonder what's that about.

I have not invested in listening to Miyavi heavily since 2009.  His output in the Miyavi Uta ~Dokuso~/Samurai Sessions/Neo-Visualizm cycles were my favorite incarnations of his music, but lately - I think the English focus and collab focused output has not been able to interest me like the old era (although, living in Korea in 2013 and being bombarded with K-Pop on the daily made me enjoy his ballad focused single "Guard You" as it sounds like a K-Pop song...).
 
Like I do with his other releases, I will probably sample it once, enjoy a song or two and discard the rest.
 
I really disliked "Let Go"...

This is really interesting stuff!

The lead guitar licks are really cool in this song.  It is a solid promotional single.  I have always been on board with Nightmare.  They are able to make some good songs with the bad, and know that at least parts of this next album will be worth the listen.

I definitely felt the same way - I like all of the members and know that they are able to do great things, but collectively this was not the initial premier I had hoped for.  The songs are ok in my mind, but they don't set the tone that their talents have the potential for.  Maybe I set my expectations too high - I drank the kool aid when the group formation announcement was made.
 
I also had hoped they would release a full song PV that really markets the band and their sound well instead of short samples.  I think it would have introduced them better.
 
We'll see I guess...

They took the best members of their respective bands and came together to form these kind of bland songs. That is the saddest thing here. I really hope this is just a test to see how well the band meshes and just get hype going for something major to come afterwards. 

That's an interesting title. I don't want to get hyped up because I haven't liked anything he's done in years and his last singles are amongst his worst material to date for me. But somehow, something's telling me to pay attention to this one. I hope I don't get burned. :<
