btw it seems they’ve had some drama with their costumes being similar to an anime character from Touken Ranbu, ie, slapping their band logo on a premade Tsurumaru Kuninaga cosplay costume. even their producer apologized and followed it up with 2 members making a comment video about it. It appears that the band is still wearing these costumes however.
I hope this is just a hook to get an audience, because it sounds too generic, even for this period of IDOL bands.
Even KAVKA with a seemingly lower budget sounded much fresher in this same style. The presence or (artistic contribution) of Kazuya is not even noticeable, since most of his projects were characterized by that originality/freshness in the middle of the water
It is funny how everyone seems to hate it, because I seriously dig it.
This is definitely a very light Morrigan but I really grave anything new like Morrigan badly for quite some time now.
I’m still not convinced what they’re trying to create musically. But I appreciate that they are testing themselves as a duo, so other musicians could take a chance on creating bands or active sessions. (Manifesting a band of three vocalists / Youka(IOLITE), Loki(ex.Sugar) and Hibari(LIQUID))
