I can't wait!

I have missed them so I can't wait for this! I hope they stay for good, I know it's probably not a realistic hope but I want it to happen.

Kisaki seem's to tear band's apart so I don't hope for him to do much right now unless he form's a band and truly commits to it, Lin was great and brought back the Megaromania and really got my hopes up then just as soon as I was ready for a full album we got another Kisaki band break up so I just don't think that Kisaki is good for any band.

Personally I LOVE D=OUT and I think this is a really good idea, it helped Alice Nine become a better band and I think that D=OUT can easily become a giant band if they start trying to be above average, I have loved them since I first started listening to JRock and I have noticed that they lost a lot of steam and have just felt like a sigh in a sea of scream's. They just aren't making an impact like they used to BUT I do think that if they leave PS, they can turn everything around and become a top band so I wish them the best!!!!

Why announce the band now if they plan to release music in 2017? It's not like a film or game, it's probably a three song single so this is kind of ridiculous haha Especially considering that I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who haven't heard the lead singer or some of the other member's, they should release a SINGLE song or a live distribution or something.

They have been going strong for a good amount of time and don't seem to disappoint often so I see this as a smart thing that more band's should do, I mean I love this band and they have affected my life in various way's but if taking a break mean't that they could come back stronger, happier and more passionate then I see no problem and hope they have a nice rest! One of my favorite band's of all time which truly changed my life was An Cafe, I remember the day that Bou left and it was so hard to deal with, I remember thinking that this was the end for the band that truly changed me for the better then they gained two new member's of the family Yuuki and Takuya and as I adjusted to the new family they suddenly announced a hiatus, I felt like my heart had been broken so many time's. Miku then formed Lc5 and created a new band for me to love, then eventually after a good chunk of time An Cafe came back and they were better than ever! The fire was back, the entire band had matured in a way that was beautiful to see and now they are still going strong creating amazing music! tl;tr After all of the pain of feeling like a band that I loved more than anything had been on hiatus and all the wait, they came back with passion and a fire for music that made them better than ever! Megamasso will come back and amaze us all more than ever before!

I don't like doing track by track review's but I will list everything on the album that I enjoyed. This album surprised me quite a bit, I first heard of Sel'm a good while ago and I thought they were just okay, they were average, everyone seemed to be in love with Tora's voice I thought he was dull, I didn't think he was impressive. After he left I wasn't sure what would happen to them but when they got a new lead vocalist I was excited to hear him but I was also underwhelmed by him, it just felt like they absolutely had to be "metal" the riffs had to chug and he had to scream, when he sang I thought he was okay but still yet again a Sel'm vocalist that I found to be average. I left them be for a good amount of time then I decided to go on this site and check thing's out, I was reading through the news forum and read that Sel'm was releasing an album so my curiosity was piqued. As soon as it came out I checked it out and genuinely was taken by surprise. Sel'm's newest album Reiro is impressive, I was afraid it would just be chuggy fake metal and was happily wrong. This album is dark and soothing, it's very melodic and truly has some wonderfully catchy chorus's. I was extremely impressed with the guitar work on Reiro, sometime's they fall back into boring guitar riff's that get boring quick but for most of the album the pace and style of guitar change's up, I found myself just listening some song's over just to hear the guitar work beautifully playing beneath Ryuga's vocal work and just being so impressed with the synergy that they had. Another thing is that I personally found the guitar solo's to be very good, for me a guitar solo is important, it can change a song from solemn and slow to a powerful beauty. The bass work on this album is also very nice but if I'm being honest I didn't really hear the bass all that often, if I did it wasn't because the bass got powerful it was just me listening for it but at the same time as the bassist Takuma does his job, he helps keep the song going. Normally I would say that I wish the bass was more profound and that it was more unique but I really didn't mind the bass too much. Next is the drum work and the drum's were very nice also, they had some nice technical play and really kept the pace of the album and the feeling of the album up, yet again nothing crazy impressive that would make you say that these are the song's you should aspire to be able to play on drum's but yet again they get the job done and keep's the band supported, a drummer is supposed to be the beam's that keep the band standing and I personally believe that he did that just fine. Like I said by no means are the drum's outstanding but they are good and keep the song's going. Finally the part that impressed me the most, Ryuga's vocal work, Ryuga did an amazing job on this album, his vocal work was just beautiful on this album he has a very nice voice with a beautiful dark deep tone to it, Ryuga really did amazing. This album had some amazing song's, it had great tone and had good pacing. The album start's a bit heavily with some chugging guitar riff's and screaming which had me worried at first but by the second song "Kono Hana Ga Saite Kareru Made" I was relieved of my worries, the second track was very catchy and anthemic, then the album just kept impressing me. There are quite a few song's that are just so gorgeous with Ryuga's deep voice that I would immediately relax then get sleepy almost like when I would listen to "Uroboros" by "Dir En Grey" I'm not saying that they sounded alike but I'm saying that the song's made me relax like I was slowly falling asleep in a nice forest lit by the moonlight (I wanted a over the top metaphor) the song's all felt different and interesting, I was never bored and never wanted to skip a single track. Ryuga just blew me away on this release, his vocals were so nice with the guitar work of Tsubaki and Jon just gliding underneath his voice and the drum work booming and keeping the song's that needed to be powerful, powerful, the bass work also kept the entire album on track and it just impressed me like crazy. I don't have enough praise for Ryuga on this album I just think he proved that he truly is a front man and an outstanding vocalist. If I had to recommend an album of this year to listen to currently I would recommend "Reiro" by "Sel'm" it is a great piece of work and I can't wait to hear more from them. I personally would rate this album with "Reiro" is a great album with some flaws but still is so worth a listen, now these are my opinion's and I look forward to reading your's thank you for reading -MikuKun

+2000000000000 Anyone know the state of the album? Was it released when they said it would be? This is one of my new favorite band's so I'm super excited! Thank you to whoever uploads this release!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually love jazzy visual kei so this is more up my alley but I think the entire song is relatively bland, it's basic guitar riffs, bass riffs, drum beats and boring vocals. I hope they improve though, hopefully they have a bright future.

I want to say one thing, I actually really like Tenten and didn't really like this project but to one previous comment I want to say that 3 to 4 years shouldn't be a good thing it should be expected, it's like saying "my parents never got divorced that's pretty good right" I really do think Tenten has the ability to be outstanding but I think we all know that he clearly is either hard to work with or there is just something really wrong and horrible to be around. I hope he finds a project where he can truly shine and be as good as we all know he can be I just hope he doesn't keep ruining bands and at this point we should all admit that's it's him ruining the bands. Let's all just krep supporting him and hope things change.

I really hope everything works out, I love GUILD, they have been a part of my life long enough that I feel close to the band and feel like I understand them. They make amazing music so please let this go okay!

I understand that they want to say thanks and show appreciation for everyone but jeez do we need an over dramatic story line for everyone? Why not just do what Liphlich does and just put credits and the end of a music video, I hope The Gazette realize that they are a band and can't expect people to stay excited without MUSIC!! Great it's "the dark age" but instead of an over dramatic British guy talking about the costume designs "battle armor" how about we get some song previews or maybe even the craziest of all an actual music video!

CooL can't wait for this

Since they are disbanding after EIGHTEEN YEARS!!!!!! I wanted to hear other people's favorite memories and favorite album's! Let's honor their long career!

Everyone know's they are disbanding for a good reason right? Hayato has a throat disease, they aren't just randomly disbanding after 18 year's because they were "Uninspired" Hayato is sick and his throat need's surgery. Show some respect to them at least, it may not be much to some people but I know if I was in a band for 18 year's then had to disband because I was sick, it would absolutely destroy me and I know I would want some support and understanding from the fan's of the band. Their last album was really good in my opinion, just try and be understanding people please, let's not be happy that a band is disbanding, this is their life and livelihood, well that's my opinion at least. Let's at least respect their long career, they were a band for one year less than my entire life, they worked hard and lasted a long long time. Thank's for all the year's DuelJewel!

I really wish they would have released one full length album before the hiatus, I love these guys!

Any help would be great, I want to get some cool merch so thanks!

Hi I've been told by someone that I should stop posting these and go to the recommendation thread but I'm asking a specific question and I don't think this is truly bothering anyone so if any fans of D'espairsRay are reading this or even casual listener's, I wanted to know what's a good album by them that really show's who they are as a band! Thank's!

I was offered that my father who doesn't live with us would buy me three shirts and three pairs of jeans, I would love to get some shirts of visual kei bands that look amazing so if anyone knows of any please please tell me, he said it has to be before my birthday which is June 3rd so I need help! Thank you!

Why would you think Arukara was Math Metal? What made you think that? Arukara is a Rock band through and through just with lot's of imagination and creativity.

So I love band's that use really interesting, flashy and creative guitar work and I love great vocal's. Recently I got into the band Arukara and fell in love with their ability to write amazing creative music with chaotic moment's that still manage to flow together extremely well so if anyone has any suggestion's please help, I love Visual Kei but that doesn't mean I wont listen to other types of music, I want to find more band's that are this fun and creative so any help would be appreciated! This is Arukara by the way just to get to hear what they sound like, thanks!

I love Chanty and think they are amazing!

Any album's that are so perfect that you don't skip any track's?

They all love it, I don't have a dad but my two sister's my brother and my mom love visual kei and Japanese music in general, they all support and love it plus they all want to perform so we respect their ability and amazing fashion!

Good job to everyone who won! I hope to be included in one of these some time! Thank you Monochrome Heaven for helping meet so many of these amazing people, I'm happy for all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
