I heard Lime is auditioning for a new version of the A-Team

Yue has to stop leaving the B-Student hang out by wearing always the same shit.

On another note i still love Kizu, but i enjoy roasting them.

Reiki reminds me of the fairytale “Allerleirauh” that is called “All-Kinds-of-Fur” in english apparently

I have a confession… I ordered the limited edition of the DVD XD
Turns out it actually includes both full concerts, rather than just a handful of songs like the last time. And it had a sizable pre-order discount on Amazon so…

Hahaha you must be rich. :stuck_out_tongue: Cool you managed to get a hefty discount on it though. That seems to be the pattern for their dvds so far, is the regular edition contains the main show but cuts encores and stuff like that but the limited edition is the full thing. Still seems like a weird move to me tbh but these guys are always upto weird marketing schemes. Speaking of, I’ll probably get the regular version of the new single and it’s like half the price of the limited one and tbh couldn’t care less about a 20 page booklet. Just want then tunes ya know? :stuck_out_tongue:

Is it just me or does that look like it was cut together from fans filming?

Thats because it was, they let fans film a song sometimes

Watching it longer makes you feel like some fans filmed the whole concert.

Clever idea actually, they saved the whole camera staff like that :laughing::laughing:

Wait, what? They asked for the fans to film the show with their phones? Now that is a bold move.

It’s usually the last song of the show that they will let fans film.

It’s Lime’s b-day by the way (in Japan right now anyway, tomorrow where I am). Happy birthday!!

They allowed the fans to only film the song they played for the encore at each concert of their Nanajou tour. They played a different song for the encore at each date. And they asked to share it on the SNS for the fans who couldn’t come to their concerts! That’s a pretty nice idea!

This entire single has such an interesting low key vibe I really dig it overall. Like it was a genuine pleasure to listen to, despite the constant whispering down your ear lol. Strawberry Blue’s chorus is lovely, it and Tsumi are my favourites, though not super struck on Strawberry Blue’s ending – too repetitive and not a fan of the fade-out. Anagura was good too, brought the mood up a little however I don’t really like the chorus (no particular reason though). Lemon Tea… was a song I guess; it really did nothing for the rest of the release and boiiiii chill with the whispering hooooooly that was not fun to listen to. I see what they were trying to do and I suppose if it was a background song in a lounge or something it could be nice but not while wearing headphones that’s for sure .–.

It looks like the break has been allowing them to ferment over some ideas. All of the tracks feel like they bring something new to their discography, and although the mileage may vary from person to person, it’s all generally pretty good stuff. I like everything, although I could live without Lemon tea.

Great single but lemon tea is a disaster greater than even black rain, I would take unlimited farts and burps over it any day

I don’t know what I was expecting but I’m a bit disappointed in the tracks. I guess Tsumi is my favourite especially with the guitar solo. Overall it’s good (except whatever the heck lemon tea is supposed to be), but I expected somewhat more I don’t know.

Also the disc scratching sounds in Strawberry Blue chorus are kinda random lmao

I’m glad people are saying the same thing about Lemon Tea lol. I was digging it for a minute… like literally one minute passed and I thought it was almost over. And then I was like no I’m not sitting through three more minutes of this.

Obsessed with Strawberry Blue tho that’s an excellent track
