NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST // Nail in the coffin: Burn it down until the end

雪 (Yuki) April 13, 2025 No Comments

A year and a half after the release of the single “Kingdom”, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST return with the release of the digital single “Nail in the coffin” on April 4th 2025. But, is the new song really a nail in the coffin for the group, or is the name just a great target for this joke?

To find a definitive answer to that question, 雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the song and after some thorough research she came up with the answer for you in this review!

TRNTY D:CODE // [HELL]hound.: Tame him before daylight

雪 (Yuki) April 6, 2025 No Comments

Despite coming out in November of 2018, TRNTY D:CODE’s second single “[HELL]hound.” contained an interesting mix of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and metalcore, ticking boxes for both genres left and right for the currently inactive group.

With this review 雪 (Yuki) hopes to bring an older release back to the surface, while looking at the interesting mix of both genres at the same time.

リリカ (Lyrica) // ストロベリィマァマレィド (Strawberry Marmalade): Unspeakable secrets melted my throat

雪 (Yuki) March 30, 2025 No Comments

“ストロベリィマァマレィド” (Strawberry Marmalade) is the fourth single in リリカ (Lyrica)’s discography, and also the second MV for the group. Much like their first single and MV “Strange Rabbit” there is a lot more than what meets the eye at first glance with this release too. And since you all enjoyed our deep dive into their first single and MV so much, we’re now coming back with the follow-up we promised back then.

In today’s review, 雪 (Yuki) discusses the story of the single and MV in more detail, but much like the previous installment in our Strange Rabbit series, please keep in mind that リリカ (Lyrica)’s work might be a bit shocking for some audiences!

Z CLEAR // 広島 (Hiroshima): I’ll just be myself

雪 (Yuki) March 2, 2025 No Comments

“広島” (Hiroshima) is already the 11th single for Z CLEAR, but why are we jumping into their work with this single in particular? This single not only contains a wonderful message, it also looks like a unique moment in time for the band themselves.

Originating from 広島 (Hiroshima), the tile of the single alone is a bit of a hint of what’s to come already. 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the single and is more than happy to tell you all about it!

クルエラ (Cruella) // レミゼラブル (Remizeraburu): Collecting the scattered fragments of memories

雪 (Yuki) February 23, 2025 No Comments

“レミゼラブル” (Remizeraburu) is the very first single of クルエラ (Cruella), a band that’s emerged out of the temporary project 悪役〈C〉 (Akuyaku C) in September of 2024. The group released this first single about two months later, in which they combine the madness of the メンヘラ系 (Menhera Kei) style lyrics with a circus to create the three tracks we hear on this single.
雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the single to find out more about it, and she’s more than happy to share the results with you today!
