蛾と蝶 (Ga to Chou) // アゲハ (Ageha): Follow the rhythm

雪 (Yuki) February 2, 2025 No Comments
“アゲハ” (Ageha) is the very first single of 蛾と蝶 (Ga to Chou), a band with a rather interesting lineup considering the members were formerly seen in projects like Ashmaze., Lycaon, R指定 (R-Shitei) and 己龍 (Kiryu). While the group only officially started their activities on December 24 of 2024, the first single is already there for us to listen to.

雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into their very first release, and is more than happy to tell you more about this unique project.

ゼラ (Zera) // MISSA: Claw marks engraved on the vast earth

雪 (Yuki) January 5, 2025 No Comments
Following the super theatrical single “Octavius”, ゼラ (Zera)’s 11th single “MISSA” has quite some shoes to fill. This time the single is not inspired by a legend, but does have a theme that is quite relevant in this day and age.

Will “MISSA” live up to the bar that “Octavius” set before it? 雪 (Yuki) couldn’t wait to dive into this single and tell you all about it!

“エアレンデル” (Earendel) is the 13th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography, released in October of 2023 and following the “SAMURAIソードMAN” single. At the end of our previous review in this series we already mentioned that the single that followed had a completely different style than the release we were discussing.

More than enough reason for 雪 (Yuki) to dive into “エアレンデル”(Earendel) as well, isn’t it? Because what exactly is different compared to “SAMURAIソードMAN”? Grab your beverage of choice, and let’s jump right into this release!

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!

While 葉月 (HAZUKI) is mostly known for the darker style that borders between rock and metal with lynch., his solo works take a completely different approach with a symphonic style. And 葉月 (HAZUKI) wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t take some of the theatrical performance he displays in lynch. with him in

The release of DEVILOOF’s newest single was already announced in January of 2020, with the release date itself being set for March 11. But the release was eventually delayed indefinitely. To the great surprise (and delight) of fans we didn’t have to wait for the single to be released anyway,

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST // Life is Once: The time passed by will never be back

雪 (Yuki) June 15, 2020 No Comments

The lineup of NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST already took quite the hit because of the events that caused guitarists Daichi and Cazqui to announce their departure from the band, but instead of putting a band-aid on the wound life threw another curveball at the remaining members. Shortly after the release of their

DIR EN GREY // The World of Mercy: A world where we hold hands and connect

雪 (Yuki) November 9, 2019 No Comments

Last year DIR EN GREY delighted the fans with new material in the form of the “人間を被る” (Ningen wo Kaburu) single and the full album “The Insulated World”, of which the latter was a great example of DIR EN GREY’s “shock value”, even after so many years of them
