[Jigsaw9 6783]

I'm always scared to click on this thread whenever there's some new development in the Neverending Saga Of The Holy Doguu Album... this provides a glimmer of hope of course, so yay. XD ...tho we all know how hopeful one can be, being a fan of this band, lol.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

So, any info on what happened to that planned live album? They were supposed to release it at this gig if I remember correctly, or at least around this time (???).

Damn, 8 or 9 unreleased songs if I'm counting right?... ;w; </3

[carddass 273]

And 6 new songs will be on the doguu album. They should've just aimed for a proper full album with those extra few tracks!

[carddass 273]

Seems like there might be another new track on the Doguu Album tentatively called 'Love Ballad'. It was played as an SE after the concert and is almost finished being recorded. Here's the mail magazine from today:

次回ある時はジャニーズ並みの曲ごとの衣装替えにチャレンジしたいです・・・。」

・とも
「ドグウアルバム発売祈願ギグ、ご来場ありがとうございました。
俺たち4人は曲が進むにつれ、カッコ良すぎるという罪を感じ過ぎてしまったけれど、
PAさんや照明さんそれとSLAVEの皆によって罪に拍車がかかってしまっていた事実は認識して頂きたいですね。
つまりはあの場にいた皆が罪人…†
また罪を感じ合えたらいいですね。
ごめん。」

・しんたろう
「僕個人的に初のワンマン、初のスティック投げ、あと薔薇も…†
今このmunimuniでワンマンを遂行出来て嬉しかったと同時に重罪を犯してしまったと、
罪の意識に苛まれています。
munimuniと皆様に感謝します。ありがとう。
あ、あと僕のスティックを受け取って頂いた方へ、使用の際は良く洗ってから使って下さいね…†
ではまた…☻」

recording of their new mini album "THE DOGUU ALBUM" is 80% finished...

 

 

 

TOSHI sticker:

[carddass 273]

80% !!! Wow, it's getting there at least. I thought they already have 7 or 8 songs recorded already and a few they haven't recorded.  Maybe they're pushing for a full 10-track album?

 

Also, does any munimuni fan have this bootleg they could kindly reupload?

MUNIMUNI:

 

 

MERRY:

 

 

[carddass 273]

Kanou/Munimuni is very referential toward visual kei. The names of their gigs and some advertising are completely taken from early-VK acts or Buck Tick / X / Luna Sea/ZiKill/kuroyume related works. Sometimes it's a mash-up of multiple names.  The flyers showing pre-1991 Toshi versus his post 1997 cult-years is hilariously put to good use and maybe not even sensible to most fans now-a-days since X is pretty much a nostalgic act now.

So while most bands keep a consistent visual throughout the release of an album or a period of time, Munimuni is off-the-walls and without a proper schedule or cycle, so they do these things for their own amusement. Overall I find the graphic design of the flyers to be amazing and it wouldn't surprise me if Kanou did some sort of design job on the side.

That said, I find the 'coincidence' between the Merry ad  and munimuni's recent flyer questionable at best. It's mainly just the pink coloring and, as far as I recall, munimuni doesn't really 'borrow' from contemporaries. Some of their recent work from last year is in black and white with a splash of color photoshopped into it. The band photo is an example of this: http://munimuni.ciao.jp/profile.htm

So while the Merry one looks like actual real light projecting the color into the scene, munimuni's is just photoshopped color-overlays.

 

And while munimuni is bringing homage to 90's VK, the Tamasuji Cool J tarou side project has him singing over shitty 90's pop / hiphop beats:

I like the way people in this forum always take me seriously and get butthurt a lot and some even go and write lenghty posts to prove how wrong I am, but fail to notice I'm just kidding most of the time. It was a joke, dude. Chill.

[carddass 273]

It's all good, I know it was a whatever post and I really don't know you or your methods to take you seriously or not.
But being that this might be the only active source in English information about the band, I felt it was more informative for fans to have something constructive and relevant to read.
There's nothing worse than scrolling through a forum and seeing the majority of posts be filler comments. Unfortunately this rebuttal just added to the noise! Ah well.
