Fun song and cool video, that DAOKO one! Other than that, not really excited about any of this sadly.

 

Still hoping Meev will go back one day to his dokusou or raw garage rock sound.

I thought I was going to dislike the album given that I've been really tired of the sound he's been doing for the past few years. There have been a few tracks here and there that I've liked from his recent output, but the last album I enjoyed as a whole was the 2013 self-title release.  Well, that's no longer the case as  I actually enjoyed listening to this in its entirety despite the compositions and his guitar tone sounding basically like everything he's released over the last 5 years.  The same uptempo dance music with a squealing guitar... And yet, I really enjoyed it whereas the last few releases left me bummed out. I'm still hoping for a return to the acoustic stuff or something different, but if you like Miyavi at all it's worth listening to.
