On a somewhat unrelated note, the Ochita promo version was 2:21 long on youtube, how long is the full version? I don’t have itunes or whatever platform they were selling the full version on, and I really liked the short version. I’m bored and want to mentally torture myself over how much I’m missing.

3:23; I’m not sure if the delayed CD version is different length.

Thank you! I was afraid it was going to be a The World of Mercy situation where the full song is like 10 minutes but that doesn’t sound too bad.

Wait, why is this a bad thing?

Well since I can’t get the full version that would mean that there’d be like 7 minutes of song I can’t listen to.

Sorry, I thought you meant that long songs were bad. My mistake.

The video is one of their best in a long time. I always liked when the band acts in the concept, but they’ll never beat [KR] Cube.

We always think these promo edits are missing substantial parts of the songs, and they almost never are with the exception of Rinkaku and World of Mercy

The Domestic Fucker Family. Probably.
And, I guess, they didn’t change it too much, since this version is 7 sec shorter than original.
EDIT.
Time for conspiracies. So, starting from 2:31 you can see those floating cubes are releasing fireflies.
At the same time violin start to play.
And it ends with a weird-ass sound.
So… is that a reference to Hotarubi?

I hate you for using this eyehurting font.

DEG has lore.

If that’s the case is this the second time they’ve referenced a track from Macabre?

When was the first time?

Abortion seems prevalent theme since Missa. :man_shrugging:

Rinkaku outro

Ehehe I just saw the clip. I laughed, a lot.
That was great.

Thanks for letting me share, guys. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

The full duration is 3:59

While the MV is 3:14

So, I guess only long instrumentation and outro left then
