DAMNED // STAIN: A sense of emptiness brings no comfort

雪 (Yuki) 25 May 2025 No Comments
In September of 2024 DAMNED released the MV for “STAIN”, following the one for “Thanatosis” that came out in April of the same year. V already covered “Thanatosis” for you, so now it’s 雪 (Yuki)’s turn to cover “STAIN”!

Will this be another banger, or will it be a stain on the band’s reputation? (It definitely isn’t, don’t worry, but we couldn’t resist the pun!) 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the song and will tell you all about it in this review!

ゼラ (Zera) // Uncanny Valley: Let’s keep dreaming scary dreams

雪 (Yuki) 4 May 2025 No Comments
After the release of the “MISSA” single in September of 2024, ゼラ (Zera) are already back to add a new single to their discography. “Uncanny Valley” was released in late February of this year, and exists out of three tracks and a music video. Does this single provide an answer to the uncanny valley-hypothesis or is the name just a placeholder?

You’ve probably already noticed that we’ve been covering ゼラ (Zera)’s works more often recently, so 雪 (Yuki) couldn’t wait to dive into “Uncanny Valley” to find every little tidbit hidden within. And of course tell you all about it! Let’s put the hypothesis to the test together!

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

雪 (Yuki) 6 April 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) 30 March 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!

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

雪 (Yuki) 23 February 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!

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

雪 (Yuki) 26 January 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) 5 January 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) 29 December 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!
