I don't believe the Sasayaki single thing was them trying to "cement" their industrial rock cred, either...I think that was just them calling up Daniel Ash because they could. If you could call up Daniel Ash, wouldn't you do it, too?Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-6021897619920343262014-03-16T10:54:27.266+09:002014-03-16T10:54:27.266+09:00Eh, no need to get your knickers in a knot. The lo...Eh, no need to get your knickers in a knot. The lolis will probably just be adding some strings to the arrangement. Even if they add some backing vocals as well, I really can't see them being all that prominent. Its not like there's a call-and-response section that they can take over, like in "Dokudanjou Beauty".<br /><br />What I'm more curious about is the implication of this. When Buck-Tick wanted to cement their industrial rock cred, they commissioned a bunch of industrial remixes for b-sides to the Sasayaki single. So maybe for this album they'll be using a lot of strings, so they've similarly partnered with Kokushoku Sumire for a b-side to mark this new direction. <br /><br />Ah, the magical time of rampant baseless speculation between a single's announcement and its release... :)Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944151552107584099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-72702566455134538072014-03-15T23:32:28.085+09:002014-03-15T23:32:28.085+09:00Now, if you can (I know it is hard) ignore the who...Now, if you can (I know it is hard) ignore the whole ideology and aesthetics behind gothic lolita, also ignore the girls' aparent inability to perform live, I think they would fall right into the mood and style of a Razzle-Dazzle-like arrangement of "Victims of Love", violin, hyper-theatrical vocals and all. Can't help but be excited about "Methaphysical Meteor", it's just such a weird title.<br /><br />Also, would you know, while everyone thinks Alice was about drugs, Lewis Carroll was actually just ranting about abstract mathematics (:crossparallelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731017836081721370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-60583933641203002602014-03-15T04:57:32.824+09:002014-03-15T04:57:32.824+09:00Okay.

JUST NO! <br />All I can say is WTF?<br />I really want an interviewer to ask them about this as soon as possible.<br />I´m looking forward to the new single a lot, but this is just strange. I can´t imagine what the result of this cooperation will sound like and I do think that Imai was not sober when he (or whoever) invited them.<br />Oh well, I´ll remain curious anyway...Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706713601327462960noreply@blogger.com
