I will have to listen to the new song again, but you can clearly tell Inori composed it: It sounds a lot like it belongs in Yarenai
I have to be honest, I don’t know if I like it. I fell in love with Hakidame for the eerieness and theatrics, but this MV just feels like every menhera/horror band ever..
You can listen to previews here
Kiraina ame is a good song imo, I like jazzy music, but it’s better to count this as Dokubari and no longer as Hakidame. If this is what the new music will be like, you have to separate the two bands imo
I guess they wanna leave the past history behind not sure. We usually only get reasons for a name change during interviews but its usually the classic “We wanna refine ourselves and sound as a band” or something related.
listening to it and the menhera standard sound is there but not everywhere, the theatricality is there too! with interesting experimentation. they are trying to define what suits them better, because I hear no connection between tracks.
