It’s just a flag. Maybe it has some personal meaning to them, but they didn’t put any emphasis on it. If it weren’t for the manager’s post, nobody would have even known about it. They definitely weren’t trying to stir up any political controversy.

yeah, i feel like i agree 100% with you, and also still with myself in kinda a both things can be true sense
i don’t wanna yank the conversation back to the closed thread tho 
I just meant i hope they figure shit out and continue, using Rands Karma as an example of someone who (imho so speaking only for myself) did a similar “didn’t mean much by it”, got backlash, adjusted and moved on. To my knowledge i’ve liked Kizu, and seems they’ve all had international ambitions, so i hope they get to move on post-hiatus too!
I bet any time you expand out past your country as an artist you’re suddenly made to consider a lot you hadn’t before; doesn’t seem like it’s impossible for vkei bands to do so, make changes / clarify intent if necessary, and move on.
I don’t imagine this actually had much to do w/ the hiatus, maybe just bad timing to hear about it now, but easy to imagine how international tour + budoukan + twice delayed album could spell hiatus needed without implying it’s over for good
Whens the part where their guitarist starts trying to speak only english only for it to be hard to understand
Im catching up but I do have one question…
Was it ever explained why they decided an album vs an EP or single?
I vaguely remember (?) awhile back that LIME was pretty against a full length at first?

People want what they can’t have, so if Lime said an album ain’t happening, of course everyone started wanting it (human nature, eh?) Under this type of pressure bands usually shit out an album where half the songs are filler just to keep relevant in the current musical landscape that (imo) got out of control with way too much music being released at once.
Now I can’t answer if “everyone” is the public or the parent label, but if the album pressure and hiatus are linked (I would be surprised if they were not) I think this is a lesson in “be careful what you wish for”. Feels like Dimlim all over again regarding what the public wants vs what the band is willing to deliver (yes, I’m still mad about Dimlim)

I personally don’t care in what way a group releases things unless they really only do 1 song singles. In the current music market especially trough music streaming releasing of songs is moreso a prestige than anything else.
