Visual-Kei NEGA second full album “VANITAS” details

[relentless 254]

I'm very, very curious about this release!

Dir en Grey is not the creator of "Vanitas world" (If you do know what it is), so anyone can do it, or use it's name wherever they want.

Wherefore, you can't say they are copying.

The discrepancy is not JUST the term "Vanitas", it's "VANITAS WORLD-VIEW" that is exactly how Dir en grey (a strong influence of Nega) has gone about their music for the passed 4 years. Take that and the vocalist from Nega (what's his name) drawing influence from Kyo, and boom there you have it: an album influenced by Dir en grey. Not that big of a deal, doesn't make Nega any less good.

The whole idea of a WORLD-VIEW in Japan is practically exclusive to Dir en grey in the sense that they are one of the only (that I know of) that markets their music in that vain.

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

Props to them for being meta

[iSin-Sama 4]

v-rock is dead....for real?=p

I see what they did there hur der xD

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Thx a lot for the tracklist! The titles sound kinda...NEGA-ish, yeah. Immensely looking forward to hearing it!

[Seimeisen 4406]

11.DELUGE

12.HINDSIGHT

13.OMNIA VANITAS

That's an interesting sorting. I'm glad HINDSIGHT will be on the album. It's a good song that wasn't mastered very well.

As for OMINA VANITAS, maybe it will be an instrumental/sound effects track that will make HINDSIGHT a proper ending?

[Shaolan974 6185]

I think VANITAS VANITATUM is an intro and OMNIA VANITAS is an outro.

"2012" is a funny title... world's end inspires a lot of artists this year haha.

V-ROCK IS DEAD is pretty funny too, an electro song? Mmmmhhh...

[Rize 1593]

Lookin' forward to this release! Nice song titles, makes me curious about this release

1. Wow, one of the few cases where overbr00tal vk band is trying to go all "kvlty" on us, I might expect some Gregorian monk choir and pseudo-satanic stuff going on (or in a worst case scenario, pseudo-satanic dubstep - because it's so hip)

LOL in real life. xDDDDD ...but sounds accurate.

[Wonrei 108]

Nega is so trolling everyone. V-ROCK IS DEAD is probably going to be a shitty -core song full of rapping, like some sort of 2012 version of limp bizkit.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I'm a little late to this party, but I thought this is going to be their third album? I suppose it's of little consequence because I'm not a huge fan. In fact I actually kind of really don't like them. But now I HAVE to hear V-Rock is Dead.

No, it's their second ^^

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ Yep, they had one album so far, plus a "best album" or collection or whatever:

GRAVE OF THE SACRIFICE (album, 2009.07.22)

NEGATIVISM (selection CD, 2010.05.26)

Curious how this one will turn out, I really liked their 1st album. I plan on ordering the B-type (bonus track yay!).

[Dolcify 1]

Kinda excited for this release. Been a fan for a long time and there's not many songs they've done that I dislike. will be interesting!

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Ooohhhh I had no idea Negativism was a selection album. See I'm not really that into them haha. But I'll loOk forward to the album and hopefully they'll impress me for once.

[sebbivism 134]

What is the romanisation please ?

5. Biran yueni

7. Tamerau koto naku 「　」 o kizutsuketa yubisaki wa, tomadou koto naku kegareta 「　」 o kazaru

8. Munashiki "Nama" no guui ≒"Shi" no shini

[sebbivism 134]

7.躊躇うことなく「　」を傷付けた指先は、戸惑うことなく穢れた「　」を飾る

It seems that the title should be written: 躊躇うことなく「　」を傷付けた指先は、途惑うことなく穢れた「　」を飾る according to under-code.jp and ne-ga.com

↑ THIS !

I love these guys so much. I hope they do not try to start being funny or whatever. It might ruin their songs.

[Thedane 176]
