12012 new album in March!

[Masamune 72]

Meh, everything reminds people of Dir en Grey.

Looking forward to the album.

Meh, everything reminds people of Dir en Grey.

Looking forward to the album.

Yeah, it's getting downright annoying.

[Miasma 162]

boo hoo

ur just a pressed fanboy in denial if you cant admit that the preview sounds like another deg derivative. wataru's even going for kyo's look in the clever sleazoid pv, grillz and everything lol

Sure is.

Preview sounded good, I loved SEVEN, its what got me into them so if its along those lines then I will be pleased!

So what? DEG is a reference these days, I'd be worried if the preview sounded like Morning Musume and Wataru was in shiny clothes like the guys form SuG.

[dannemannen 69]

Looks nice, no catchy choruses in the vid sample, maybe trying something like dum dim spero? cool!

everything reminds everyone of dir en grey because that's basically all they listen to. so glad that's not MY frame of reference for everything in vk/jrock.

anyway, yay new album, bout time.

[inartistic 1150]

It very closely follows a certain trajectory that DIR EN GREY pioneered in the visual kei world; has nothing to do with a limited frame of reference.

[Aion 184]

whoa! they're going back to what they were at the beginning. <3

That's what I kind of thought

I do hope so, 12012 is one of the reasons why I lost hope in the VK scene. The were awesome in the beginning with songs as shudder, boku no kara, KARA and Ms Vampire for example but then came the shit after icy ~cold city~...

might check it out as I am still fond of those older songs... first checking out some reviews of it though...

[sebbivism 134]

This is for you people who couldn't load the intro;

http://www.12012.jp/kanpake_officialsite.flv

Intro sounds good, I hope this was an sample from the "PV song" of the album.

Also, this is just my personal thoughts but I think their days on NAYUTAWAVE RECORDS are history, I think they might be releasing their album "12012" on the FREE WILL label, maybe FIREWALL DIV.? In that case, it must mean that 12012 and DIR EN GREY are working with the same people...

When MERRY was moving to FREE-WILL there were also these talk about "OMG they are just like DIR EN GREY". I would rather say, they're all just typical FREE-WILL band.

[X-Marc 7]

their new look is awsome! and if they sound more like their old stuff its gonna be awsome!

[sai 868]

Whenever I hear that label name I think of ohaiitzwill

sorry for continuing this conversation but i agree with this!

this just shows how successful are dir en grey and how they inspired many bands.maybe it annoys people but it's true.

and anyway when deg was young ,people said the same about them. (kiyoharu)

anyway i am happy, when every band turns to pop, 12012 decide the opposite.

(i wonder why? maybe they tried more pop and failed?)

but totally want to see more. can't wait

So what? DEG is a reference these days, I'd be worried if the preview sounded like Morning Musume and Wataru was in shiny clothes like the guys form SuG.

this! at this point with 12012 i am actually happy they sound like deg. no problem

[No.47 22]

Do I smell the old 12012 coming back!? I really hope so.

[filth_y 189]

Sounds completly nothing like "old 12012" you guys talking about. Stil awesome video. So far most anticipated release for next year.

[Wonrei 108]

Derp, the logo on their website is exactly like the Uroboros cover.

[relentless 254]

The vocalist looks like clever sleazoid kyo

The preview sounds cool. It'd be a shame if they tried to go the route of heavy dir en grey influence because as their own they're fine. Never really fully got into 12012, but perhaps I should start!

[Trombe 22025]

limited edition of their new album "12012" will include CD (12 songs)+bonus CD (3 songs), and regular edition will include CD (12 songs) only

first press of regular edition will further enclose subscription ticket for their special CD (1 song)

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Maybe I'm a bit late to this party, but the video on the homepage won't play through the right way... I'd really like to see the whole thing, suggestions?

From the maybe 5 seconds of song I heard, I think I'm going to like it. I mean, obviously that's nothing to judge but the production sounds clean and the music a bit darker. That's what I'm going to prepare for.

As far as the fact that the deluxe edition is going to have 15 songs? Bitchin'. I'm very excited, I've missed this band since SEVEN. That album was probably my favorite they've done. March 14th! Here I come!

[Maiku 4]

Well... Thats a strange way of doing it... O__O

[nekkichi 6042]

I guess those bonus songs are demos and/or self-covers of their early works?

Could be interesting if they have thrown some remixes too, free-will bands tend to do it sometimes.
