Actually yes. MEJIBRAY Company president is rumored to be from Yakuza and he's one of the big bosses of Visual Kei industry now. Since Koichi and Tzk apparently had some problems with him (remember Koichi stop playing the bass and showing his middle finger in direction of their boss in the end of their concert), yes, they're in blacklist and probably can't do a Visual Kei band anymore. That's what this song is about. On yesterday concert they said that CreatO was the only live house that let they play. -

3 points| How does a band that delivers the same music for over 15 years defy expectations? Like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is that type of band that sticks to their guns and delivers the same style of music with each release. Also like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is the kind of the band that won't do much to change your mind, no matter how many times they come knocking at your door with a new sales pitch. When I was a J-music novice, I thought being one-dimensional was a bad thing because I rated diversity much more highly than I probably should have, mostly due to the way many visual kei bands use diversity as a musical condiment. What is more important to me now is that a band delivers every time they announce a new song or album. While the two visual kei bands I mentioned earlier haven't been the paragons of consistency, 陰陽座 definitely is. There's not an album in their catalog that I would consider sub par - this is impressive with a career spanning almost twenty years and fifteen albums - and their newest album, 覇道明王, continues that trend. I'll take the time now and say that if what you've heard in the past has done nothing for you, just listen to the first track "覇王". If that does nothing for you, you are free to go. I have nothing to say that will change your mind. If, however, you have never heard of this band before or "覇王" actually caught your interest, then welcome to what is perhaps the most metal album ever. This feels like, but also far outstrips, 2007's 魔王戴天 (Maoutaiten). 覇道明王 has zero chill, and from the opening piano chords of "覇王" to the fading guitar of "無礼講", 覇道明王 has the potential to keep you hooked without wanting a pause. Unlike past albums, there's no token seven minute ballad to bore you to sleep, or attempts at infusing disparate genres like pop punk and classic rock into their distinct brand of heavy metal. It's straightforward, punishing, rewarding, and everything I never knew I really wanted from this band. Whenever I finish the intoxicating experience of listening to a new 陰陽座 album for the first time, I always wonder how the next one will surpass this one. They don't always manage to raise the bar, but they never completely shit the bed either. The last four albums in a row have consistently impressed me, but I don't think there's an album of theirs that's clicked as quickly as this one. Unfortunately, I cannot give it a perfect score because I believe it's a tad overwhelming for an initiate to sit through without wanting a breather. However, I'm confident in recommending this album to anyone that likes metal with subtle Japanese flair, dual female and male vocals, or just wants something new to listen to. This is as good of a place as any to jump in if you are unfamiliar with this band.

Yeah the weirdest thing about him is how fucking hard he went at the lives, in the lyrics and the music and allegedly in his personal life; and then all he wanted to do all along was to play baroque covers. -

2 pointsI'm not really one to judge people but, can you not? People are going to call me an abuse sympathizer but w/e people still defend Kisaki of all people so why not? Please stop celebrating XXXTenatacion's death like this is good what happened to him, and alot of people base that off the fact that his First charge(s) from his Ex-Girlfriend Geneva, which were false because she openly admitted that she lied on him about the abuse. Also with the Jail incident, I guess people don't get the fact that they were in prison...where you get raped btw but no sis, preach on about how he was homophobic and all that bs. Look im not saying he's an angel but he sure as hell doesn't deserve all this backlash and slander, he's dead. For people to celebrate his death truly sickens me, because THE SAME exact people would be crying rivers if Chris Brown died and he BEAT RIHANNA SIS LIKE...euagh. Im not trying to incite bs, all im saying is, have atleast a SHRED of decency, fuck.

2 pointsThis song was embarrassingly bad LMAO. I'm not even mad it's a pop song. I'm mad because it's a shitty pop song. You all couldn't have come up with any different chord progression to use? + I don't know if it's just me, but the mixing sounds really... off. Even though Tsuzuku sounds incredibly soulless (with the exception of that one note at 1:47), I do have a feeling that if TZK was the only one singing, this song wouldn't be nearly as terrible. Unfortunately, he's not the only one singing, so I can't afford to ignore his tone-deaf companion! Koichi sounds so horrifically nasal I started furrowing my eyebrows and almost started grinding my teeth. With how skilled of a lyricist TZK is, the lyrics somehow makes this song even worse. It's not even what the song's about, it's just how poorly they're written (especially when put in comparison to MEJIBRAY's lyrics). This has to be some sort of joke.
