Holy shit, that's a bummer! This one made my day though

New Goods:

Well, 69 shows is quite a lot... Not a fan of their music, but it's great to see more and more "small" bands pulling off extensive tours.

Looking forward to the full version

Honestly, I don't like the new EP as much as 名前がない or 幸せだよ。殺したい。, but after listening to 清楚系不純エゴ (the song, not the EP) for a few times, it grew into one of their best songs until now, at least for me. 現実逃避癖 doesn't grab my attention, probably because it's one of these songs, which you need to experience live before you're able to appreciate them fully. Same with 最低最悪、だ, although I'm somehow in love with the chorus... Don't know why though 毒ラマグラ is no bad song at all, but for me it sounds like a left over from their days as 黒姫の夢遊病. Simply not my cup of tea. Any other opinions?

Their new live-limited EP "清楚系不純エゴ" (Seisokei Fujun Ego) was released today (1500 Yen). Tracklist 1.清楚系不純エゴ 2.現実逃避癖 3.最低最悪、だ。 4.毒ラマグラ Setlist of their one-man at Osaka Ruido: Updated One-Man-Schedule: 2018/02/08 - Shibuya Rex 2018/02/13 - Osaka Ruido 2018/02/14 - Osaka Ruido 2018/04/09 - Shibuya Rex 2018/04/10 - Shibuya Rex 2018/04/20 - Kitahorie Hills Pankoujou 2018/04/21 - Kitahorie Hills Pankoujou

The album will include a hidden bonus track. At least according to their website. They'll also head on a two-man tour together with シビレバシル (Sibilebashir): 2018/02/23 - Shinsaibashi FanJ-Twice 2018/02/24 - Nagoya ell. Size 2018/02/27 - Ikebukuro Edge

Yeah, that's probably one of the main ideas behind the release. It gathers lots of songs which were, until now, only available at their lives or some indie stores in osaka. The album is already up for pre-order on cdjapan which means that it's going to be their first nationwide release. Seems like they want to expand their activities.

Alright, seems like I'll buy a ticket for munich!

You brought up some pretty good arguments, but I'm not quite sure if I can agree with everything you said. First, thanks for the offer, I'm sure there a lots of people here who would really appreciate something like this! But I don't think that the uploads on YouTube hurt them financially. (Not a fan of stealing music though, so don't think I support piracy or any kind of illegal music downloads) I think it has quite the opposite effect, since it's the best promotion the band can possibly get. I don't know where you discover new music, but for me YouTube is one of the best tools to use when searching for unknown bands and I think that's a thing which is true for a lot of people in Japan as well. A band that releases its stuff only live-limited may attract a certain fanbase which knows their former bands or people who just happen to be at a certain taiban, but they literally have no chance to attract fans in cities like Sapporo or other regions, which aren't toured often. Now everyone can listen to their music and maybe they'll already have some fans in Sapporo, who will come to their live, when they finally do one in Sapporo. Free promotion in my eyes. On the other hand: 君、依存、タトゥー + 溺愛シット are, according to their website, already sold out (Correct me if that's wrong ) . At the moment there is no chance for them to lose money, since they don't sell it anymore. But I wonder, why they don't distribute the sold out ones digitally on Itunes, like Morrigan does. Honestly, I don't think that Purple Stone gets all the money, while the other bands at CRIMZON have to fight for every breadcrumb on their own. Zigzag is doing a one-man tour after just one year and a half of activity, something that Purple Stone has yet to achieve. I got the impression, while I was in Japan, that the decision to keep all the Cds of Hakujitsu, Kurohime and Amai live-limited and to not filming pvs, was their own and not something which was forced on them by their label. But that's just my opinion, maybe someone else has some more insights.

They will hold their one-man "「糞麺氏ね」購入者限定単独禊 "慈愚" "挫愚"" at Shinsaibashi Soma (2017/10/01) at which their new mini-album "糞麺氏ね" will serve as entry ticket (you buy the CD -> you get a ticket). They will hold their first one-man tour "大除霊ツアー" on the following dates: 2017/11/28 - 東高円寺二万電圧 2017/11/29 - 名古屋ell.SIZE 2017/12/01 - 大阪RUIDO

Awesome as usual! The chorus of 名前がない... damn!

btw. the dvd will only be available at their lives and via their online shop

Sad, but kinda expected. Crow Music is mainly pushing Diealo as it seems...

Still don't get the hype, but congratulations nevertheless! O-West is quite an achievement!

真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ will release their new CD "糞麺氏ね" on the 25th of August, NOT LIVE-LIMITED. They'll hold their "愚かな者に救いの〜夏期講習〜" titled one-man on the same date at Osaka Muse and another one on the 8th of September at Americamura Clapper.

Btw. it looks like their Clapper oneman is sold out. At least there are no tickets left at eplus

Looking forward to it! Still wonder though why all their Cds are live-limited.

btw. They will release their store-limited single "黒死蝶" (500 Yen/limited to fiveStars) on the 30th of April. Tracklist: 黒死蝶 Cover: Setlist of their oneman on the 21th of April: 腐ッタ世界ニ制裁 トチ狂っテる 抹消 ひとりかくれんぼ 短絡的『絶望』 愛シ貴女狂怪性 Unknown Song 死んでほしい Unknown Song 取リ敢エズ『リストカット』 ぽんぽこたぬき合戦
