tbh ACME is just a heavier DIV, both were always what Shogo and partly Chisa wanted to be, this sounds pretty much in line with what I would expect from DIV in 2024
If I can chime in a bit, CHISA’s deeper, fuller vocals and trailing vibrato that’s been a staple of ACME, still carries over, even with different instrumentals or production at the helm. Everything featuring CHISA at this point sounds very “ACME” to me (minus the BMTH redux sound of the band’s inst…) I’m also partial to the more subdued, electronic DIV as well, but I don’t think that’ll ever make a return. ACME has now been around longer than DIV at this point.
Blackship (some tutorial I found for a different site) or Tenso is the way to go for package forwarding. If you can create the required MAVERICK STORE member account and provide an accepted form of payment, you would just need to fill the rest of the address info from the forwarding service.
I’d recommend Fromjapan.co.jp they can usually get you stuff from any shop and you don’t need an account for that shop. They have cheap fees and you can decide what price they put on your package. Their might be alternatives with better shipping prices but I find them easiest to use to buy from smaller shops.
Hmm…I think it’s quite long already to released this album in CDjapan.co.jp! I hope they will release in Spotify and app music. ( Maybe they say that 10 august will be released only japan)
