You know, the live limited release that was only available at ONE live in Japan. Ya that part of it is really dumb unless he had planned to release it for everyone eventually or put some of the tracks on the upcoming album but neither one happened so lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not being able to buy a copy physically sucks but it shouldn't be a reason you resort to pirating (doesnt apply to their live limited stuff) When you have to spend a minimum of 30€ for a 2 song CD then it's hard not to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other bands would kill to sell like DIMLIM. Money is a blocker up to a point. Now I can't say that DIMLIM is past that point, but I've been in the scene too long to think that piracy and money are their only troubles. 2 raspberrynilla and nomemorial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saga 116 Posted January 21, 2020 Spoiler one week to the news about delaying the album 1 2 Wakarimashita, Komorebi and Kabukichoatmidnight reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-NOVA- 3027 Posted January 21, 2020 The entire "marketing" of this new album is atrocious. It really feels like they want to fail. I love these guys to death but seriously... they need to know what they want. They post a one second preview, then they decide it will be a digital only release. They want to charge full price for a digital release, but later on make the physical cd an amazon exclusive but post no details. The release is in a week and this is a trainwreck. All we can do is speculate but I honestly don't see this benefiting them in anyway. Even if this becomes a banger of an album no ones going to hear it... the promotion is non existent and i dont see them making any money on this. People will pirate this album. 3 1 2 Wakarimashita, chocobuzz, Kabukichoatmidnight and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is no longer a band I can blindly trust with my money.

CAT5 9075 Posted January 21, 2020 So i'm confused. I really like these guys, but I don't follow them closely enough to know all of the details about their history. What's the major difference between the release of this new album and "CHE DO A RA"? What changed so drastically that their operation was affected to this extent?

zaa_zaa 208 Posted January 21, 2020 I really hoped to get a PV one week prior to the release. It sorta makes sense - two weeks before the release a tracklist is announced, then it would be logical to upload a PV to build up some hype. But I see. Not gonna happen.

Plus they only have three members and are decided on not having support members to replace drums & bass (correct me if I'm wrong). I think they've basically gone indie but without knowing the very basics of managing a band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have loved DIMLIM from the beginning and even sought out some of the live limited stuff and paid a ridiculous price for the actual CD's, but I'm not risking this either. Definitely going to try before I buy. 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it’ll be available for streaming, though I’m kind of confused about the complaints of the price for the digital version. I haven’t bought anything off Japanese iTunes in years, but do they not charge full price for a full album? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanishi 598 Posted January 22, 2020 I somewhat want to support them still, even if the album is bad. I'll buy it if it's on ototoy but I'm not going to bother jumping through digital japanese hoops or pay heaps in shipping for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheZigzagoon 670 Posted January 22, 2020 I wanna buy the physical copy even if it’s bad, but that’s because I can’t stand having just purely digital music I need physical releases! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DIBIDABUA 2 Posted January 23, 2020 I don´t know if this has been posted but it seems they´re also playing in Chile. Like a mini south american tour. I´m mexican so I´ll definitely going to see them. As for the album, I don´t know what to expect honestly lmao, I thought it was going to be a more "melodic metal" thing like kidoairaku, but seeing the comparisons between "whats up?"(not crazy about the title tbh) and One Ok Rock and Dezert I don´t know what to expect anymore, so I guess we´ll just have to wait and hear for ourselves.

Still selling the normal one (which you still can pay the half if you are student) and the M&G. Spoiler Also, In events like that, the "half of the price" thing is pretty normal in Brazil. Political stuff. But in the end of the day, the normal tickets just have their price inflated and almost everyone pays the "half of the double"... which is suppossed to be the real price? Anyway, some days ago someone from the organizers told that the tickets were "selling well" in general. In total, there was 300 tickets on sale. Let's see. 1 1 emmny and platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nekkichi 6043 Posted January 23, 2020 Sho looks visual enough for me and idk about the uglies so it's good; there's some promise in the track, but I'm not holding any hopes for the entire album. charge ur phone sisT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
