CAT5 9075 Posted May 26, 2011 FINALLY! The string of singles they released last year were pretty good, so I'm curious to hear what kind of new material they have in store. They pulled some bullshit with all those different editions, though. Total dick selling tactic...I can't say that I'm surprised by it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minre 13 Posted May 26, 2011 summer keeps getting better and better <3. and it's not so bad since they're lives... though the regular is a bit pricey, at least it isn't like C4 where you didn't even have a choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*littlelamb 78 Posted May 26, 2011 They pulled some bullshit with all those different editions, though. Total dick selling tactic...I can't say that I'm surprised by it, though. I thought the A+B+C versions with Victor Entertainment were BS, but this time there's actually a logic behind it. They can't very well put a ~3-hour or more long concert DVD as an extra, they'd have to sell it separately for 7000 yen or something. And since those concerts really go with concept of the album it makes sense to use them as extras. I don't know if they're including the whole shows or leaving something out, but for anyone considering buying these, here are the setlists: 黒??羊 (Black Sheep) M1 夜光 M2 ロストジェ??レーション -replay- M3 迷彩ノ紳士 M4 モノクローム M5 クライシスモメント M6 赤???? M7 ??ら??ら??ん??る。 M8 stupid×cupid M9 頭??ザクロ M10 ????衡キ??マ M11 演説~シュールレアリズム~ M12 [human farm] M13 オリエンタルBLサーカス M14 愛国??~BURST~ M15 ジャパニーズモダニスト M16 Fleeting Prayer EN1 The Cry Against… EN2 Midnight Shangrila EN3 Schwein??椅??(DIR EN GREY) EN4 Charlie EN5 T.O.P EN6 ??イオレット??レン?? Special-EN アイデンティティー 白??羊 (White Sheep) (Apparently almost all of these had a special arrangement, acoustic or semi-acoustic) M1 黄??レストラン (Yuu on piano) M2 薔薇??片隅??ブルース M3 想????サンセット M4 クライシスモメント -UNPLUGGED- M5 首??りロンド M6 高層ビル??上??ラストダンス M7 M.E.R.R.Y.MARCH~デンヱンカウキヤウクミキヨク~ ~medley start~ M8 歌声喫茶『モダン??

CAT5 9075 Posted May 26, 2011 ^ ah, I see. Seeing releases with A+B+C+D+E versions is usually cause for an immediate facepalm, but you're right! This is quite an exception! I guess I assumed the extra material would be some short clip or something. Yet another example of why one shouldn't assume. I just made an @ss out of "u" and "me" - but in this case, just me lol ;] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted May 26, 2011 After their last few singles and their attempts at going back to their "roots" so to say I am very excited to hear this new album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I assumed the extra material would be some short clip or something. It could still be packed into a 30-min clip, you never know. But I'm hoping not! And I'm taking the price as an indication that there will be plenty of footage. Actually I think they said something like that somewhere, but plenty is a relative concept. Heh.

Des 289 Posted May 26, 2011 Actually this is what pretty much everyone was expecting, the news just came a little late. This has potential to become one of the best albums of 2011, that is if all songs are gonna be as awesome as the last few singles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
