Is the wikipedia page outdated?
cause i was curious to see how would they work with 2 rhythm guitars.
also, does Wataru improve his screams? cause he sounds like shit on DoS.

idt it’s going to be two rhythm guitars, it’s more of an old line-up/new line-up, probably playing their indie + major material with suga, and maybe recording something to resemble that sound with him too,

and a different guitarist for their 2nd indie phase when they left free-will. they’ll probably stick to releasing most of their music in the same style now, except for an ocasional nostalgic-kei throwback release kind of like all those alter-ego VK bands of today do with 90s.

considering we’re talking about a band that got dropped by most of their legacy fans once they signed with universal, and most of their universal era fans they got through anime OST bs haven’t heard of their indie music, all of this is so odd tbh.

My head canon is that they’re working with two rhythm guitarists to lessen the need for back tracks.

12012 will have a live concert at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM on Dec 12 and it will be streamed world wide.

What is this “quiss”?

What label were those three EPs released on, then? I never even realised they left Free-Will.

they had their own for the last 4 releases before the hiatus

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to. Was there an archive period for the livestream?

Yep! Don’t quote me on it, but I think it’s available up to the 17th.

Yeah, I found that odd that nothing from the past few releases were included in the live. Some of their best work was on that last mini album.

I really wish they would scrap crap songs from their major era like Aitai Kara and As. They’re so boring compared to ballads like shower, the swim and over… which are so much more powerful.

JTWYA was such a lame opening. vomit would have had a way bigger impact.

I was kinda disappointed that they didn’t play their last releases. But when listening to Wataru’s voice, I felt that he would not be able to handle screaming and growls.

Yeah, he’s definitely a bit rusty. I’ll give him a break as it’s been 9 years. But even if you watch some of their old lives, he struggles near the end of shows to hit notes like he did in ‘over…’, etc.
