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.

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!

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!

And of course we took some photos of their live show. These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio Arlequin Photography.
