sleepy coffee 1476 Posted October 6, 2019 Also on the limited edition, track 2 is titled BLACK RAIN. Which is basically what the title track translates to, hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this case, the one I can make it to is only a 2shot with a random member (I can't choose whom) and I need to buy both versions. So it seems meh for 5500¥ (+ tax) Could have been a handshake or 5shots and see all the members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diva-rin 202 Posted October 6, 2019 Okay, I attended their live in Shanghai, and their last song was, according to what LIME said, BLACK RAIN, so I thought it's 黒い雨. Also, half of the song was sung in Engrish which makes me think 黒い雨 and BLACK RAIN are actually the same song, one in Japanese, the other in Engrish (or bilingual). The song itself is quite sweet, the CD cover image was also used in the lyric video they played during the song on the screen. 1 sleepy coffee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya that's what I'm thinking, I'm still hoping theres a twist and they're different songs for the sake of variety but regardless I'm excited to hear it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted October 6, 2019 I'm sorry but that's some ugly-ass angsty teen DeviantArt-tier cover art right there... Still, looking forward to the music as always. 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted October 6, 2019 As far as I remember, black rain is a reference to the atomic bombings of Japan, apparently it rained black rain for several days afterwards. I saw remnants of black rain on a wall at the memorial museum in Hiroshima. Not saying it couldn't be a reference to something else though, but that's at least one interpretation. 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont forget the mv for kuroi ame xd But for reals I guess they're hiking up their prices. The regular edition is 1500 yen for 2 tracks, all their previous singles were 3 tracks for that much with the exemption of 0 which was 2 tracks for 1000 yen. With that being said they put their music out their digitally so no one has to break their bank account If they dont wanna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of bands you can get a full show DVD for that price.... I do always prefer hard copies over digital tbh so may just swallow it and stop moaning. haha. Or.... maybe, I'll take a rain check on this release..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn'tEvenGoHere 121 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Remember when Ozzy Osbourne released an album called Black Rain and it was about WW11? This is giving me major Ozzy Osbourne Black Rain Vibes. I wonder where they're going with this. And if that's the direction they're heading, do they know Ozzy already did it? Is it intentional or a coincidence?

sleepy coffee 1476 Posted October 8, 2019 Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm going off google translate but looks like this guy helped out with mixing and mastering of the new Kizu single and this is also the first time hes gotten to work with a vk band. I'm not sure who he is but hes got alot of followers so someone might be able to tell us more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So this single might going to sound like anime songs since all this guy did is anime songs so I doubt he know how to arrange and mix heavier sound. 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diva-rin 202 Posted October 8, 2019 Might be an interesting idea as it's not a heavy song at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
