2 new singles, “Savant” and “Inheritor” will be released on 8/28 and 9/4, respectively. Each single comes with a b-side and a live CD with the type B edition.
David has stated that this will conclude the release campaign. So it wasn’t really just singles, it also included the Harness physical edition in May, the recent Basilica II album in June, and the Bluray releases in July…smh

Well I am excited for new music anyway because I love this project of his, but it’s very frustrating trying to keep track of where all the new songs actually are spread across six releases with three-four types each.
Aw sh*t, here we go again. I was telling my bf Yesterday that I found it weird that he still didn’t announce the 5th part of the release campaign. Well 
Love the visual, and LOVE that it’s just singles this time around, I still have a Basilica II and 美しき退廃線 shaped hole in my bank account

I’ve seen quite a few of your comments about him and money, and I feel it’s a bit uncalled for? Sure, I agree, his releases ARE often expensive, and there’s A LOT of them, I feel like 2500-3200¥ for a single/EP is not THAT different from other v-kei artists?
Plus, let’s remember that he’s his own label, sure he’s making money (Remember that artist is a JOB, not a volunteering thing) but he has to inject it right back into paying his musicians, costumes, picture, make up, travel when he does tour, etc etc.
I’ll roll my eyes way more when artists who are signed to a major label and well established are releasing many versions of their stuff, included a limited edition with a “luxury booklet” for 10000¥ or more. But maybe that’s just me, and maybe i’m biased because I’m a fan. But yeah.
Anyway~
You shouldn’t mind if I say that what he sells is expensive. Because it’s difficult to get his CDs and the speed with which he releases each CD is impressive, as is marvelous cruelty with its millions of releases and versions. I see him as someone who just wants to profit from his art and that’s fine. Although it’s abusive to fans outside Japan and that’s why I’ll always talk about it.
I could take revenge like buying all the CDs and leaking them on the internet to harm the artist. But no, I’d rather criticize the prices and the accessibility it imposes on fans.
So don’t mind criticism because you’re just a fan.
Doesn’t matter if he has own label, the big problem of him is how he release their stuff so fast and that’s it!

“take revenge”
1 - Wow, what a mentality.
2 - If anything, YEARS of illegal uploads helped put v-kei on the map overseas. I know it’s a big debate and stuff, but that’s just how it is, visual has never been more popular overseas (and had as many tours from various artists/bands) than when CD rips were a norm.
Also, for those of you who wants to support him but cannot keep up with the flow of his release, most of the main ones end up on streaming platform. And if they’re not, ask him directly on Twitter, he definitively reads tweets, sometimes even answer. The more demand, the more chances he’ll listen. Or you can even just ask politely fans for rips, there’s a good chance they’d be willing to share 
That’s bullshit. It’s been years of activities and he has not changed the accessibility of his work. The focus is the profit at all.
Don’t use this as an excuse. You know very well that this only happens because of the lack of accessibility. Especially now that any artist can release their music digitally. I’d be happy if he made releases available digitally after 6 months of release. It would be fair and good for everyone. But he doesn’t. So I can’t defend the way he sells.

A small artist wants to earn money, how disgusting, truly
Like, you can be condescending all you like, but straight up lying when you just have to search into Spotify or Apple Music? Lmao and again, before you say that every limited edition isn’t available on streaming, I know, and like I said, most of his MAIN RELEASES are there. Again, I asked many times for his releases to be on streaming platform when they weren’t, and little by little, he’s adding them. While I’m sure I wasn’t the only one asking, it’s proof that no, it’s not “bullshit”.
The fact that you thought about it in your argument says all I have to know tbh.

Thanks for that info!
So no, I’m not “fucking kidding you”, and no I’m not a liar, what the fuck. While not perfect, he DOES add stuff for his overseas fans, just because you couldn’t even take the time to search the name of the releases on Spotify, doesn’t mean it’s true, no matter how abrasive you get about it.
Thank you so much, I don’t use Spotify I didn’t have to go through the struggle to open an account to prove my point
And here are the Apple Music links for those who might need it:
David – Apple Music (this one is France only, they opened it for his oneman live in Paris)
David - Apple Music
DAVID - Apple Music
Edit: And for those who actually care about the music, want to buy it, but can’t keep up day to day to it (which is once again, VERY understandable), lots of his stuff, even older ones, are available on CDJapan and Amazon JP, both shipping overseas.
Incredibly, I can’t open it on Spotify, but I can’t even find it on Apple Music. As much as it’s somehow available to some and I’m wrong about that (sorry for that), it doesn’t change the FACT that the abusive prices of physical releases and the speed of release make it very clear that the focus is on profit that I’m always criticising.
Dont get me wrong but if you don’t accept repeated criticism then… there some problem with u.
Last answer you’re getting out of me because we’re obviously getting nowhere, and i’m sorry for other members having to read all of that pointless exchange, but. Where the fuck in my messages did I say that his releases where cheap and with lot of space inbetween? Nowhere. I do agree with it. But i’m not a 2 dimensional person, I’m capable of critical thinking despite what you might say, on top of calling me a liar.
What i did though, was trying to remind you the logistics of a solo, indie, low-selling artist life, which is a JOB, and what it entails + prove that while not perfect (again, I AGREE) his stuff is becoming more and more accessible. And so is he, just tweet the damn man! If you’re half as passionate about his music as you are about complaining about it, i’m sure he’ll be super happy to hear it. Plus it’s free.
On that note, have a good one
It doesn’t matter what you say. Criticism is just criticism, either you accept it and ignore it or you waste your time with this discussion you’ve started.
I wish you too as well!

I’m convinced all of Sui fans are anemic and when asked if they want a hospital they yell “NO, THAT’S MY DAVID FUND! I CANT AFFORD TWO OF HIM!”
