Earlier this year JILUKA already visited Europe and the US with their “K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024”, but shortly after they already announced -THE RETURN-, and we'd be lying if we said we didn't enjoy their first time so much that we couldn't wait to see them a second time.

Bonjour!

With that said, we really want to thank you, dear readers, for the amazing reception of this series! We didn’t expect anything near the response we received! Thank you so much!

In this fourth part, 雪 (Yuki) dives into the mini-album “VIOLET DAWN”, which was released on July 31st 2024. Are you ready for KAMIJO’s epic intense album?

RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

雪 (Yuki) October 6, 2024 No Comments

“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!
