nekkichi 6043 Posted June 28, 2013 what happened to hizaki's eyebrows, an unexpected urgent chemo or something? not impressed by this pv snippet at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaolan974 6185 Posted June 28, 2013 I don't really like the vocal so far. I think his voice doesn't fit the music '_' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 28, 2013 LMAO dat voice... dunno why but it cracks me up (especially in the beginning). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted June 28, 2013 Oh Jesus. ZIN's vocals are rather weak...I'd have Kamijo over this any day. I hope he will receive more vocal training in the future, because this sounds very bland and uninspiring. Not only the vocals, but also the instrumentals. Then again, this is Hizaki (who has clearly burned out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digi 192 Posted June 28, 2013 I wasnt expecting the vocals to be that...weak, i guess you could say? Anyway, the preview was pretty bland too. /was hoping for a lot better tbh/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
otterley_ 192 Posted June 28, 2013 Hope he'll keep this tone.Not a strong voice but he is not forcing and sounding super weird at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricchubunny 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Love ZIN voice! excited for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted June 29, 2013 He sounds like Akira from MIRAGE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Senedjem 510 Posted June 29, 2013 I can't be the only person not hearing anything wrong can I? Are you really confusing poor audio quality for poor singing?You might not have noticed this because you were too busy masturbating furiously to your own opinions and your confirmation bias that it's going to be bad, but the sound has pretty much been halved.He even sounds more legit power metal than kamijew[hyperventilates into a brown paper bag] 4 JukaForever, Miasma, TheBistroButcher666 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted June 29, 2013 Yeah, I'm not a fan of the vocals.... now. My only grime is with how low production the video is. It seems that Kamijo left with all the money. Kamijo was the wife of the divorce of Versailles. I think ZIN is all right, a little resemblance to Kamijo with a lighter voice and less dramatic but I still need some time to get used to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JukaForever 758 Posted June 29, 2013 I don't think they have major label money for dramatic PVs yet, looks like Destiny the Lovers all over again. I'm glad I skipped the Limited edition of this release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PumpkinPatches 48 Posted June 29, 2013 It sounds kind of weird, in the video. I think it's partially the quality? Because he definitely doesn't sing like that live... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted June 29, 2013 Just reposting the LONGER and HIGHER QUALITY preview that came out in late May, cause it seems like quite a few people missed it. As Sened mentioned, it seems the reaction to the lower quality preview is a LOT more negative, haha. I still think ZIN sounds good, but the PV preview does seem quite bland. 1 Slsr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted June 29, 2013 Yeah, the PV spot literally picked the weakest spot in the song after hearing the longer one. Still holding on to saying he sounds like Akira though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted June 29, 2013 Wasn't that always the case with Versailles as well? They always seemed to choose the worst part of the song for the PV spot. Anyways, liking ZIN a little more with this preview, although that whole guitar intro was definitely reminding me of Faith and Decision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted June 29, 2013 Instrumentals sound a lot better in this snippet, the audio quality is far superior. The vocals I'm still not too fond of though, I guess the singing itself would not be too bad but...the way his voice sounds isn't really to my personal liking. I'm not calling him a bad singer, he just doesn't have a voice that I can really enjoy...or perhaps I'm still too used to Kamijo's voice and that it's just a matter of time before I get used to ZIN.

TheBistroButcher666 228 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm excited for the single. I'm thinking his tone/pitch or well the actual sound of his voice will take some getting used too since most people have only heard HIZAkI with either Kamijo or even Juka instead of the number of shitty vocalist he's worked with in the past. I want to hear a Teru song with his vocals C: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted June 30, 2013 This is a harelipped reminder of what could've been, Kamijo needs to deliver like dominoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeus 7997 Posted June 30, 2013 I remember that I hated Kamijo's vocals around the time when Lyrical Sympathy came out because he hadn't mastered his lower range yet. Same thing with ZIN I suppose. If he's "more legit power metal" than Kamijo, I hope this doesn't mean that he has a low dynamic range. As odd as Kamijo was, he worked because he could hit a wide variety of notes. Tons of power metal vocalists sing as if they can only hit two or three notes. I hope ZIN works on surpassing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
