葉月 (HAZUKI) // 蓮華鏡 (Rengekyou): Putting my overlowing tears into a song

雪 (Yuki) March 22, 2023 No Comments 🌸 葉月 (HAZUKI)🎶 digital 🎶 rock 🎶 solo project

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

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.

リリカ (Lyrica) // Strange Rabbit: The world is poisoned

雪 (Yuki) January 26, 2025 No Comments

“Strange Rabbit” is the first single in リリカ (Lyrica)’s discography, and also a very strong start for the band, if we may say so ourselves. Being a band in the メンヘラ系 (Menhera Kei) genre does mean that there is more to their story for this single that meets the eye. And trust us when we say we were a little hesitant to share this review with you here in English because of the emotional topic this song discusses.

But, we also didn’t want to keep it from you, so in today’s review 雪 (Yuki) discusses the band’s first single in more detail!

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!

RAZOR // エアレンデル (Earendel): See you here again

雪 (Yuki) December 29, 2024 No Comments

“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!
