They needed to adopt another cat. In all seriousness, I grew to really appreciate Jin's vocals overtime. I hope he doesn't leave VK indefinitely!

Tracklist: 1. 蛙-Kawazu- 2. ラブソング 3. ELISE (Type-A only) 4. 十五 (Type-B only) ｜Prosaic, but with potential Should a band be held accountable for not living up to hype created by fans before they’ve released a single note of music or even revealed their identities? That’s the question I pondered as I listened to キズ (Kizu's) second, and newest, maxi-single 蛙-Kawazu-. The conjecture surrounding Kizu started near the beginning of this year when a red and black flier was handed out at VK venues with precious little information other than the name of the band, details of their first show, and a phone number prominently displayed. Callers of the phone number were greeted by a recording informing them that the band would listen to “your pain, your worries, displeasure, and anxiety”. All VK fans had to work with was a new, mysterious, melodramatic, emo as hell band that had left no direct clues about the members’ identities; not even a group shot in silhouette or with the faces obscured by masks! The biggest clue being that the other bands performing at Kizu's first show (DOGinthePWO, Unite) were popular bands in the scene, so this new band must be made up of people with connections… probably from playing in bands with some success themselves. This wasn’t a bunch of newbies who would be unknown whether or not their names and faces were public knowledge! Little by little more info leaked out of the Kizu camp (the vocalist of the band would actually answer calls to their number, more fliers with references to despair and scars and blood and loneliness) but still no one was quite sure who was in this new band. Theories about vocalists from all sorts of recently disbanded acts were entertained. One that gained traction that I hoped would turn out to be true was that this was Karma from Avelcain’s new band. The signs were all there: Karma is the queen of teen-angst-zetsubou and these promotional materials for Kizu had that in spades. When it was finally revealed that the vocalist was Lime previously of Lezard there was a collective “not bad… but I wish it had been *insert my favorite vocalist who isn’t in a band right now*”. By the time their first (extremely energetic and polished) PV came out many people had already come down from their speculative excitement. With all that being said, what about the actual songs? The music is not the backdrop for despair that their promo fliers would imply, which is a blessing because Lime is a capable vocalist but it’s hard to imagine him pretending to cut his wrists or mumbling to himself trying to quiet the demons in his head. In fact, the least worthwhile parts of this maxi-single come when Lime tries to showcase his harsh vocals. Too much of "ラブソング (Love Song)" is marred by Lime trying to contort his voice into shapes it just wasn’t meant to fit into. He’s much better highlighting his slightly staccato, higher range such as in the otherwise rather moribund "十五 (Juugo)". Kizu is at their best playing the frenetic, vaguely djent-inspired fast-paced VK you can hear in the title track "蛙-Kawazu-" or after the jarring Beethoven intro homage has ended in "Elise". When the big riffs and digital effects combine into some bouncy, undeniably fun rock'n'roll you can see why Kizu have scheduled a second oneman live at Tsutaya O-West less than a year from their formation and having released only two singles. Ultimately, I'd place my bets on the slightly brasher Razor or the even more scatter-brained Lack-co to be the 'winners' of these djent-kei experiments, but if Kizu can continue to channel the relentless energy of the performances in their PVs (shoutout to them for the throwback 'VK band in the woods' video) into their live shows and releases they should be able to make a name for themselves in the crowded and often staid VK landscape.

This is weird, the way I feel about this. I think what sucks is I really believe Jin is sincere in his efforts. As bad as his vocals can be and as derivative as his songwriting gets, he’s trying. Maybe trying too hard? i don’t know. He deserves a break. Maybe he should use the time to get a vocal coach or something. Take some music theory.

I'm pretty new to jrock and vkei and saw that this forum definitely helped me find out about some really cool bands. I'm excited to see what happens!!! But yee, hallo c:

They fucking deserve that break (and also just deserve to get away from the label in general bc of the whole fucking conditional disbandment shit that was goin on b4....)

Thank you for letting me know! I’ve been looking for this

グリモア (GRIMOIRE) new live limited single "トリックホリック" (Trick Holic) will be released on 2017.10.31 (1 song, 1000 yens) [tracklist] 01. トリックホリック" (Trick Holic)

yea b sides are good but the tittle track is a mess...

Their new single will be released on 2017.12.13.

Kuroyuri to Kage should release something.

It was to be expected since they were formed. HISAKI back, b*tch!

@hirokiThis sounds really good toooooooo <3 They are on a roll!!!

Well this is unexpected. Loved their album, though I'm still a bit pissed at them for not putting a proper lyric booklet in it.

I think Eiji still prints Dentaku CDs from time to time and sells them at various events and sometimes straight to stores, I sometimes see "new" releases at shops which I have no idea where they come from. I'm pretty sure Dentaku was always something he just did to earn some extra money when he was threatened with eviction or ran out of beer money.

Since when does a best-album contain only 9 songs?

Aw shit. Well, at least we'll most likely see Jin again soon. He's not one to simply fade out.

Ugh, I don't know what to say. Last year they released one of the best VK albums of the year, and while they've really been phoning it in on the post-album singles, I had hope that they'd still be able to write really good albums. Oh well, this is making me not wanna listen to/buy the new single, and honestly, I'm ready to just ignore them/be a bitter bitch about them. Thanks for RUVISH, I guess.

U LYING! KOTETSU CHANS HOOMIN BAND WILL NEVER DISBAND *walks off in a huff*

A great Christmas present for myself!

Tsubasa's also in MICRO HEAD 4N's too

While I don't know a lot regarding the rumors of lack of pay, I think the fact that every other member has gone on to continue in music is proof enough that Hizumi's health is a driving point of their disbandment. He did perform on (incredibly short) reunion set as D'espairsRay, but has put more time and effort into his art/clothing/jewelry company. I'm sure he would like to continue to sing, but his voice won't let him. Of course Zero is in THE MICRO HEAD 4N's, Karyu with Angelo, and Tsubasa has gone solo in his enka career, but Hizumi's health most definitely is the catalyst for their disbandment. They did go on a hiatus beforehand for half a year, hoping his health would improve, but ultimately ended up disbanding. If there were ulterior motives for their disbandment, I don't think the hiatus would have happened. They would have just called it quits.

probably something like... 01. Plastic Tree 02. Dir en grey 03. MUCC 04. Laputa 05. Kuroyume 06. IX -nine- 07. Nega 08. emmurée 09. Luna Sea (pre-Shine) 10. Ayabie Judge me, y'all.

finally got my cdjapan order with the novembers' before today deluxe album and was excited to wear the t-shirt but the size is waaaaay oversized wtf.......

To me it sounds like 乱される. Corrupted / thrown into confusion by the scent of roses

(not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere already?) They'll also be distributing "akai dress" at their oneman live on 21.10 I think the cover art looks really cool~ also will anyone be there to get it and maybe share it? pls ;_;

tried some halloween make up although I won't attent any event I hate that there's nothing close to me because it's so much fun to put on some make up lately I tried to do some D13 from Leetspeak Monsters inspired make up, didn't turn out how I wanted it to be but I'm kind of happy with the result anyway.

Thought dancing with my fingers was about the other fingering 😏

Secretly hoping Hizaki gets Juka off of fishing and back to singing dope epics again

I was really into parts of Part 1, so I have high hopes for 2... I do somehow like physically feel Anzi being absent though.

We are encouraging people to be active during concerts! Join our Furitsuke project! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1946608325594308/

I want a Miyaviuta -Dokusou- vol. 2 fuck this shit.

so excited about this!!! but worried at the same time because Vkei situation in Europe is hilarious bad. sometimes i want to kick lazy people asses for crying that everything is too expensive or too far away etc. you can order flight, buses tickets right now for so cheap, take day off right now and don't wait for the last day. it's not B7Klan who's bringing them here, so you can be calm. Concerts won't be cancelled :'D

Seeing all the comments on social media makes me wonder why the average visual kai fan still blindly hopes for gigs at provinces when in most countries it's 90% certain it's going to be at the capital, unless you're Germany. "Oh, not in my unknown little town. Not gonna go then." Dude, it's pretty obvious if they go to the UK IT'S GONNA BE LONDON. Plan ahead and be grateful they are going to your country at all or just shush. The band is not going to magically invest more money in more dates within a single country, unless they're Sana or Satauki.

THE BLACK SWAN will disband after their oneman at Tsutaya O-WEST at 2018/5/1.

not one but FIVE?? why the fuck dont I live in Japan

God Damnit another fave bites the dust.

Seeing their comments about how he was such a sweet and caring friend just made this even more depressing....💔
