Good point. That title had me stumped x.x

[crossparallel 180]

Don't take my word for it tho ^^  On the irrational side, clumsy as the title is, I'm actually excited we have a title in katakana again? 

[saishuu 3220]

Niiice! I have high hopes for this since their last singles have been great, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

[Shaolan974 6185]

Awesome !

[Seimeisen 4406]

'bout fuckin' time

woooooo~

 

I'll see them twice this year then! Probably at Nara and Oita. Sweet.

 テツ finally played without his neck brace during the encore. Finally! Hopefully during the next tour he'll be able to play some concerts without it. And maybe by 2018 he won't need to wear it ever again. Here's hoping.

 

Aaand the official website mentions a late summer release for the new album. So around September, then? That's my guess.

about the cage: according to a merry fan on twitter who attended the live, they were reenacting various historical events in japan, and the cage was used as an reenactment of some riots that happened before. they also played some classic music from the 20s-30s and played a song that Kyo and Die sampled in "embryo".

 

 

So this is why Gara was so hyped up about the live, *begging on hands and knees* please let this be a full DVD release. 

 

[Furik 832]

Merry never fails to win me over. <3

For that price, and only a watered-down version (they cut off some songs that was performed that day) of those 2 concerts zzzzzzzzz

[LIDL 692]

Damn Japanese showbiz and their fan club exclusives :U

 

Well, if they will release previews and if it is any good, I  may consider to get the limited ones.

[midnightskywalker 122]

Actually it would be "M-ologie" because medical terms derived from German in Japanese language and it's written "gii", not "jii" at the end.
