Also, to not be an offtoper: We should expect Ochita's BD arriving soon

Those are intros, if I remember. Every "Mode of..." had a mini-cd with intros from those concerts.

Or it's a side-project for Takumi (since he's doing piano and synths in the band)

https://open.spotify.com/album/2IB95rYghUQNEo7pgmgxpG?si=PDESFERfQo-dRadVLdP0Qg - new ambient stuff

Satsuki had his own share of drama ( which you can read here ) Now, I don't know anything about Sana. Except for his touring is similar to Satsuki's (Baltic countries, Ukraine and e.t.c.) Similar level of desperation, I guess?

Wait wtf. Kisaki&Satsuki and Sana&Hiroaki announcement in the same day?

https://natalie.mu/music/pp/direngrey10 Based on this interview, Josh Wilbur mixed the title song. Google translated the sentence "──今回の表題曲ではミックスエンジニアにジョシュ・ウィルバーを起用してますね" as "── Josh Wilbur is appointed as the mix engineer for this title song."

Kyolf Kytler. Now, comparing those three songs... Kuroyume one just sounds very weak, lack of oomph and stuff. Maybe my ears are used to loud stuff, but that just screams "music for old people".

Could you give a timestamp, please?

I like how TIW sounds, so I also don't have an ear for music, I guess. But yeah, good for you not to argue about this stuff over and over 😅

Kyo sings too loud in Arche, while guitars are mostly quiet.

They have similarities, yes. Dumbed down riffs, changed lyrics, kinda strange/lackluster ending...

2020s version intro lacks some high-note twang. And yes, that ending is strange. They did the same for Ash's remake, but it doesn't leave any impact.

You don't like fun? 😟 Dunno. For me, Keibetsu is like Rasetsukoku. Which is fun and catchy.

But the rest of the song is boring😕

Biased toward those two. When will I learn to proof-check my messages, especially since it's not my mother tongue, grrrr Rubbish Heap is (unironically) my personal favourite from the album. That final part ("Kowarete yuku...") got stuck in my head since when teasers were revealed. And yes, I agree on Celebrate Empty Howls. One of least favourite songs on the record (alongside with Zetsuentai).

The problem is that all these 3 Blu-rays have almost the same setlist. We still don't have Devote, Celebrate, Rubbish, Followers. (And I'm biased about Devote My Life and Rubbish Heap)

Can agree with TWoM, which had too much calm moments/interludes. And, considering that it was the combination of two song ideas (Kaoru's and Shinya's) - maybe that's why it doesn't feel natural that much. About the production... I guess I'm biased, and I very like TIW's production (and the album itself), so... yeah. Not objective at all.

Holy shit this mixing is grainy and cheap. Dunno why you hate on TIW&TWOM, but praise this. New song seems artificially shortened, it needs to be longer. New CS... meh. Kyo sounds okay, not glad with new lyrics, and I literally confused this intro with Ochita's intro (due to the same mixing). Also wtf is with that last note.

Anything is better that this

Shinya finally looks nice.

It ends on some kind of fade-out, so I expect that the song continues further. Also, at 1:45 I feel there is a bit abrupt transition, so maybe the gutted out the middle?

Those that were used for outro. Embryo, Vanitas...
