Split single preview: 

I think they've played everything but shinitai live? I haven't seen them since the oneman so I haven't heard the other ones--they might not have played yami actually--but my friend said she enjoyed the one(s?) I hadnt heard. A japanese gya described haikei anata e to me and said the ending surprised her--so I'm curious to hear that in particular. 
 
Since my new apartment doesn't have internet, I've only listened on a phone and I was actually unpacking so I didn't catch the autotune at the time tbh. I've got to go back and listen again to see what you mean with it!
 
Edit: 
Preview for the split-single with shellmy
 

Good to hear they played two of the new songs lives and that you thought they were good! I listened to the samples again, and the auto tune seems to fit with the songs. So excited! lol Great to see so many XAA-XAA fans!

The auto tune is interesting... It may grow on me. Overall, pretty good. But these are just samples. Can't wait to get my hands on this and listen to it in its entirety!

Hard to pick a favorite track. I'm liking all the previews. <3

もうすぐ雨が降るから and 闇 are really nice judging by previews.

I'm really digging the previews, especially もうすぐ雨が降るから, 死にたいand 闇
This band can take all my money. I can never have enough XAA XAA in my life.

lol, this isn't the place for this discussion. However, I can refuse to sell again. We talk about it before money is exchanged. If they had a problem with my request they would buy elsewhere. The end.
 
On topic: previews for the songs are up!

Come with me.

Omg I am just gonna sit here and cry because I can't go ffffff. Bbs.

Selfie with XAA-XAA's Roji at their oneman on Wednesday.
We did better this time at the taking a picture together thing.
I should note that I pulled atari cheki so this was my ~prize~

I highly recommend XAA-XAA!! But I must admit I'm super biased. There are some songs that are rather Belmosaic-esque but for the most part it's a lot darker than Belmosaic ever was. 
 
It was such a pain getting a hold of physical copies of Belmosaic CDs too (I'm still missing リツコさん and ピリオド)
So this is one of my collections of CDs I'm most proud of
 
I saw Belmosaic 2 times and I've seen XAA-XAA 7 times?
It's a really fun atmosphere and I love the band's attention to detail--live, in the artwork for their releases, etc.
They're currently the most interesting band for me personally.
 
 
Definitely hoping they aren't overworking themselves either! But I also love having so much music from them right from the start...!

agreed. but at this point I kind of wish serial number could just be laid to rest. There's like what 13 former members...?

Left to right, top to bottom: Haru (gt).; Roji (dr.); Reiya (ba.); Junko (in charge of whatever mannequins do); Kazuki (vo.)

So I never made an introduction thread because I'm an awkward turtle and don't know what to say in these things. My name is Kelly, I like Japanese rock music, from indie pop rock to hardcore punk. MUCC are my faves though. You can check my last.fm (link in sig) to see what other artists we might have in common and feel free to friend me there!
 
I'm a mod here and it's not hard to stay on my good side as long as you don't be a dick. Easy, right? I know. Super easy. ;D

I shall leave you with these words of wisdom:
 

 
 
okbye

He really is. Maybe it's a mix of being a drummer, being sarcastic and covered in tattoos. Also one of the older members...
My friend actually can't decide either so she calls herself a Junko gya. Sometimes we give Junko gifts and wonder who gets them.
 
Kazuki is the type to go "Oh, she's doing well" when asked how Junko is doing while Reiya is the type to go "J...Junko??" 
Haru lets me cheat when pulling cheki; Roji does not but he will say "See you~" in English... and then stare like a deer in headlights when anything is said back in English.
 
Yeah, like I love all the songs on Doshaburi but I think it's how they ordered it + Yuuyake is a little generic to me ? for why Kowai Kurai pulls ahead. 
 
Glad to hear it! It was even more impressive at the 1st oneman where they played 12 songs after only 2 months or so of session activity and only 3 months since Belmosaic broke up. This band is insane.
