... sonovabitch. 

 

just right now ,

KUROYUME announced that the 'supposed-to-come-out' album on 6th of November

has been pushed to 29th of January, 2014 due to i dont know issues (i suspected this might happen cause kiyoharu

constantly posted photos and videos of recording/studio on his tumblr...which is strange cause they shouldve done recording long ago).

consequently, they are now able to release singles prior to the album release ...

which are 2 singles sold simultaneously on 11th of December .

 

dont know if this is good or not , cause ive already bought the pre-order long time ago

as soon as it surfaced in cdjapan - _-. ah.

 

now that a question came up in my mind,

does anybody experienced something like this before ?

like purchasing preorder thru cdjapan but release date pushed out ?

would they just keep my $$$ until then ? or do they refund me or something ?

please do tell me if anybody's kind enough to let me know : )

you can cancel the order & they will refund the money. or if you're still buying the album you can leave it as it is

[TheBistroButcher666 228]

If you use PayPal from my understanding you won't be able to cancel your order. However if you use your credit card or anything else like that you should be fine.

[platanity 99]

thanx for both of you guys i guess ill just leave it as it is, 

just a little worried that hopefully the price wont change or something

so i dont have to deal with this -

 

anyhow, new info came up regarding 2 singles -

good to see that they have finally decided to self-cover their old works -

now there goes my money (cause ive wanted to try buy the real deal this time instead of waiting for rips)

Song titles and the re-recording make it sound like they're going punk again?

I know they aren't going to release feminism 2 so a punk album would be pretty fine

[nitta 175]

so we're getting 3 new songs, 1 self-cover & 2 covers.

I have high hopes for them this time.
I want something like Fake Star/Drug Treatment. my favorite albums from them.

[Pretsy 1343]

Kiyoharu, get a grip.

 

Other than that, is that other single title called "Guernica"?

[nitta 175]

yes. according to Wikipedia it's a painting by Picasso

[Pretsy 1343]

^I know what 'Guernica' is exactly (I asked just to assure whether my romanization was correct), thanks.

 

When it comes to Kiyoharu, you might know just with those titles what you are going to get:

 

'I HATE YOUR POPSTAR LIFE'  would be a full-on punk roller-coaster, while 'Guernica' would be either 1) a sappy ballad or 2) something along the lines of "Mizary" (Naming "new Misery" that way, just to avoid Kiyoharu's fatal title mistake).

And I crossed my fingers for possible "Nakigara wo"-influences...but hey, it was clear from Kiyoharu's intentions that he doesn't want to acknowledge "his vk/post-punk self/past" (unlike Shin and Hitoki who are clearly inspired about putting up "an old-school one-night revival" a la Luna Sea-way)

Kiyoharu's Dead End cover was probably the closest to goth rock Kiyoharu we'll get for the rest of his life

[Pretsy 1343]

^ I am afraid that it's the last effort of his to delve into post-punk/goth rock past.

 

Which reminds me (off-topic), his voice FITTED that song but it deserved more, say, "dedication" (did he forget how he sang vox back in 1994? I suppose his chain-smoking habits wrecked the shit up)

 

//annoyed

[sads123 147]

I'm still waiting for that SADS 'S' & 'M' tribute album that was announced earlier this year but gradually disappearing into nothingness....

[nitta 175]

It seems they totally forgot about Nakigara wo...

[nitta 175]

Covers of their new singles are on their site now http://kuroyume.jp/
 

[Asakusa 95]

CORKSCREW Vol.2 pls

[nitta 175]

I like all of their albums, if they just let Hitoki compose more everything will be great !

[platanity 99]

 

here's a short sample of the new single 'guernika' ! (starts from around 45)

SOUND'S AWESOME SO FAR . 

cannot wait .

i honestly dont care about the majorities' opinion on modern kuroyume 

cause i just love the fck out . i heard this might be their last release ,

so better be this stylish and slick !

[Pretsy 1343]

So I haven't really heard of "Guernika" being a trailer song or anything...

 

Other than that, to knock on Platanity's comment - I must say the key problem of modern Kuroyume is Kiyoharu himself. Yes, you heard it - I think he is really burdening the creativity of their cooperation with his own, solo-type of songs, which don't really belong to the repertoire of Kuroyume imho (you could also ask long-time Kuroyume listeners about that too).

 

I really gave up on waiting for "new Feminism" song/album-wise, so yeah, not really excited in this.

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Kuroyume (read only kiyoharu) is modelling for shibuya 109 mens at the moment, with big posters that says "kuroyume new album: kuro to kage" and "I HATE YOUR POPSTAR LIFE" release etc

 

source: myself, i saw it today hueheuh

see this is the part why i said "i honestly i could give no f about what ppl say" ^^^^^^

and the thing is no need to ask long-time kuroyume listeners cause i have been listening to kuroyume since they've released corkscrew (and i started listening to japanese rock since 1998) and i did go back till the earlier times (feminism, nakigara) , trust me, i used to love their kiyoharu's 'explosion hair do' when i was listening to kiyoharu in middle school 

 

but i just need to say this, i just got REALLY tired of old japanese rock style (by then i opened my eyes to different genre of rock when deftones' around the fur/adrenaline, tool's aenima, and korn's life is peachy caught my attention) and i admit i was the only one whomwas finally glad when dir en grey put away their weird costumes when they started "kisou" era .

time to time, i do miss kuroyume's old school materials, but ive got to "honestly" say that my taste of music matured (or maybe 'simplified' to your sake assuming you have totally different taste from mine) along with modern kuroyume/kiyoharu and other mainstream bands out there (dir en grey, mucc, merry, etc) .

 

but i cant deny the fact that im TOTALLY BIASED regarding kiyoharu/kuroyume/sads' modern materials so ^^^ 

no need to judge my integrity heh

 

anyhow, 

we still got updated after effect so im assuming they ARE paying attention to their roots 

[nitta 175]

Listened to guernika preview ... I feel like they're not making an effort into this :/

btw can anyone tell us the b-sides names from the website http://kuroyume.jp/ ?

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ "Guernica" B-side is called ストローヘッド (Straw Head), and the "I HATE YOUR..." B-side is called 奴隷 (Dorei).

 

Not having much hope after listening to this trailer-song-preview thingie btw...
