Jigsaw9 6783 Posted August 10, 2019 I don't remember liking anything of their A9 material so curious to see/hear what this 'new-old' incarnation will bring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michi510 9 Posted August 10, 2019 I’ve followed them since 2006, so I’m glad they get back to the name that brought them initial success. In the end, music is the thing that is the most important. I hope they continue to pump out music like the last 2 remake albums! Their refined skills+old compositions was so great and nostalgic. 2 ShTon and raspberrynilla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raspberrynilla 85 Posted August 11, 2019 God this makes me so nostalgic. I was a hardcore Alice Nine back in the day (started listening to them in 2008). Back then I would be considered a “stan” by today’s lingo haha. I stopped listening to them since Supernova because I just didn’t like the direction they were going at all. Hoping this change name brings them closer to their indie roots, which in my opinion are still timeless. 2 monkeybanana4 and Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jon_jonz 885 Posted August 11, 2019 We don't even have previews yet, but I already have a feeling it's gonna sound not even half as good as they did back when they were called アリス九號. 1 1 nekkichi and Shaolan974 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted August 11, 2019 it's nice to see older bands like Merry and Alice Nine revert back to their old names, albeit in different circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sutululu 26 Posted August 11, 2019 Oh, so now they will release a greatest hits albums every year with a new (old) name. Choosing a car's name basically deindexed them from google and everywhere. btw miss the supernova era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirito 69 Posted August 11, 2019 I don't understand, they go back to this name for a short period ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnesh 52 Posted August 20, 2019 This is genuinely interesting. I didn't like any of their A9 material as it was so vastly different from what had come before, and I wonder whether the contractual issues that meant they could no longer use the Alice Nine name also stipulated that any music they recorded under a different name had to be "materially different" from the Alice Nine material (cf the Star Trek "Kelvin timeline" fiasco). With any luck this will see a return to their older sound. (That said, I wasn't that bothered about their later Alice Nine material, I still prefer their early stuff.)
