Lycaon

[kyoselflove 2680]

Since I have nothing better to do, I'll watch Yuuki eat meat off a stick hahaha.

[kyoselflove 2680]

I hope they keep releasing these videos lol.  Drool worthy for paradoxal and I xD

[Elazmus 1873]

LOL when they walk in on Satoshi in the doll aisle..

[kyoselflove 2680]

I don't think I posted this here so I just wanted to show what is inside Masochist Red Circus Limited Edition. 

 

Fuck that vinyl bag that falls apart everywhere and the ugly sticker lol.  Don't know what is in the bottle, but someone told me that it is a juice that glows in the dark that Yuuki likes to spit on people at lives.

[paradoxal 2948]

Woooow, so cool! Thanks for sharing the pics!

[kyoselflove 2680]

Lol yeah, no problem.  Wish I could have went to the [drug party] live lol.

[Elazmus 1873]

LMFAO Lycaon would find a way to somehow give us vials and oral syringes with a CD .....

Not gonna lie, does make me sort of want....

But since it's MRC... Not even >_>

[blackdoll 907]

yuuki's rock from side to side in shadow, is he making a statement with that attitude? hmmmmm badass? "im the shit bitch"? "the game is to easy"?  i guess 'visual' visual kei is still alive.

Lol I know right.

 

Aw, MRC is one of my favorite releases, but I guess that's just me lol.  Good luck finding it though, it took me forever xD

[Sakura Seven 593]

I want it too - CDJapan has it, but it's categorized as a "collectible" and about as twice as expensive as other albums. I don't know what's up with that.

That's not it.  The actual limited edition is different (even though CDJapan and Amazon list the regular version as limited -.-).  This is actually a 'First Press' Limited Edition and only 500 were made and has been long sold out.  When CDJapan lists something as 'collectable' usually it means they go and buy it from another store, hence why there is a commission fee. ^^

Interesting - I wish I had stanned Lycaon when this album first came out. I'd have snatched it up in a heartbeat. Thank you!

No problem, you could always stalk the auction sites lol.  But yeah, just thought I'd let you know <3

not targeting anyone but. ummmm no, MRC is one of their best release, but that doesn't say much since everything they released is their best. but it's one of their defining moments(good side). ppl just sad cause of their precious rose and can't appreciate something different by them. or they just don't value Lycaon enough to move out of their comfort zone. but i guess that comes with royalty, people being unable to get past not being favored knowing dam well the well being of the people are always in mind while making decisions.

MRC and the subsequent singles have really been the best shit this band has put out, and they've become the only visual kei band I give a toss about anymore. Blackdoll's insistence on discrediting the "old school" all the bloody time is very strange, considering that I don't think any other band today takes cues from the visual kei tradition and does it as respectfully as Lycaon does. Their sound now is such an unique blend of contemporary influences and old school trademarks that they can actually make songs like TABOO without coming across as a parody band like all the revival bands that have been popping up lately. 

 

The peoples fascination towards their earliest releases I wish was a mystery to me, but quite frankly it isn't. It is not the first time the bulk of the community gets conned by a repackaged Asian Limp Bizkit. Upon closer examination one should note how they're more aggressive now than they've ever been before, it's just that they're being more subtle with it. Long gone are the simian nu-metal grooves of their old music and Yuuki's performance has evolved beyond the juvenile cries and growls of a solipsistic coward into something powerful that actually bares relevance in the visual kei canon. Yuuki's undeniable front man chops and the aggressive as shit synth, drops and church bells on 残酷のサロメ get more across than the imbecilic meathead riff and bland VK shtick on 88 ever could. 

 

Their concept has been developed to a fine point and unlike pretty much any other band in the scene today, they're getting more abrasive as they go along. The divided opinion on this band only goes to show that they're more relevant than all those sappy droning dogshit bands that the visual kei intelligentsia approves of. Eros pissed people off? Good. They can sod off and go be false elsewhere ( maybe bad metal is still in the vogue, go pollute their scene ). 

 

In short: This band rules and people who don't like their visuals should give up on visual kei and go listen to Korn instead like they really want to.

1) i wouldn't say their best, but their music is the most i care about.

2) well i gave up on that a little while ago and it was like if they can trash talk i can too and the best bands are new school not sure about (old ayabie, rentrer en soi)., and i discredit new bands too, like mejibray, girugamesh, deathgaze were recent. also and newer band they took from and upgraded. with grieva it's old and new diru since reload is early grieva. but with Lycaon i already said what i had to say about kiryharu (w.e his name is), and of course there is dahlia, Yuuki and satoshi destroying old school in one fell swoop, bands like grieva too. as for the rest of Lycaon's disco, sounds like it fits new school.

3)oh hell no here is where you totally lost me. They miles above some motherfucking repackaged Asian Limp Bizkit. "they're more aggressive now than they've ever been before" ummm sure. instrumental wise with the new metal songs they are neck and neck, but the old ones take it for sure because yuuki's not screaming. "juvenile cries and growls" bullshit, Yuuki's diaphragm is very special, it may not allow him to gett deep, but at the same time it makes his harsh unique the best i've. and it is powerful cause it's carries all of yuuki-sama's rage, pain, and frustration in it, better than anything  cannibal corpse, or white chapel let out. even like it better than alex terrible (which vocals are so damm good*drools*). yuuki's 2011-2013 screams are great too not as strong to fit the music.Yuuki has always been the undeniable front man. while i'm here either way Lycaon's pretty weak now or back then, that's why I'm hoping for a brutal track so they have everything. 

4) is there really a fine point though? they are always on the move, never standing still. and as i said before there is no better or worse, just expansion on what they can do. 

 

In short: Lycaon made and makes the best music, no other artist, group, and or band gives as much pleasure. but they still need to do somethings to become totally untouchable. i have doubts that this will change though because of number of reasons.

I had no idea people liked MRC this much, I have been a fan of Lycaon since they started and have loved every incarnation of their style leading up to and following that album, but somehow I end up finding not a single track on it I want to go back to.. maybe THAT much is just me lol XD

I know I ruin the talk about MRC with this question but if this is really a juice that glows in the dark does someone know where I can get this fucking awesome thing *-* ?!

 

and to continue with MRC (so I wont ruin it too much):  for me MRC is more a 50/50 thing. I'm TOTALLY into one half of the songs in this album and think they're brilliant but for the other half.. well I can't bring myself to like them no matter how often I listen to them. but I still think it's great and it's also great that so many people like it (:

I'm not really sure, just going on the word of someone else.  I don't want to open it and use it to find out lol.  Although I guess I could just look at it in the dark haha, derp.  Where can you get the liquid?  I have no idea.

I doubt you can get it that easily. I don't believe it's custom-made just for Lycaon, it probably can be bought in some store in Japan. I just think it might be pretty damn impossible to get it if you aren't in Japan and don't know where to go  

[Seimeisen 4406]

Still haven't listened to MRC all the way through. I've read some reviews though. I've heard some songs too, 覚醒, a bit of TABOO, and 雨の輪舞曲 (am I seriously the only one that really likes that song?).

And now for my overall opinion on Lycaon:

I haven't been keeping up with them too much, but from what I have been hearing, I honestly don't mind the sort of "electronic infused" direction they're going in (as much as I'm getting sick of dubstep and shit alike). I like it much better than their "erotic era," which was kinda... meh it wasn't terrible, and I guess you could argue that they "pulled it off," but it just isn't my thing. However, Royal Order (and prior) material is definitely my favourite. But I like heavier music, so yeah...

I love  雨の輪舞曲,I basically love all the songs on MRC except maybe TABOO.  But 黒のダチュラ is my favorite right next to JI・RE・N・MA.

 

I think they just keep evolving into amazing-ness xD
