MASTERPIECE

3CD+DVD (LP size)
3CD
38 songs.
38?! God damn!!
That’s a lot. This coincides with him getting his visa and moving to LA. I wonder if this is his way of closing chapter before going into another direction.
I remember he wanted to work on movie soundtracks in LA. I wonder if he’ll leave his musical act behind or drop his aristocrat vampire persona. Feels likely.
I also wonder how much he’ll be charging to this. almost 40 songs is a lot.
I am sucker for anything Kamijo, so I will probably end up getting this even if it is real expensive
re record songs ?
we’ll know when they publish the traklist but I doubt any of Kamijo’s solo stuff would need to be reworked, I think everything sounds pretty great.
He could do a massive remix of the Syphony of the Vampire song so they are all seamlessly integrated into one single track but I think that mini is so well done that it kinda achieves that preserving access to each individual song so I really can’t think of any tweaks he could do really.
Dont forget… he need sell a lot! Move and live in LA isnt cheap, mainly now…
Still against his decision!
I imagine and hope something like that !
pretty solid hypothesis imo! i’d be surprised if it strayed wildly from this … we’ll see

Pre-odering before May 17th will get you an alternate bonus jacket with his pretty face on it
Wow my bet was not bad at all ! It was hard to mistake a lot considering it’s 38 songs tho x)
Very happy with the tracklist.
I’ll probably try to grab this deluxe edition since i have 0 CD from him
Will probably pick this up once it’s available on cdjapan, can’t wait!
It looks as if the face has been painted over the photograph…
He legitimately looked like that in the concerts. I think he is experimenting with a greyish tone for his make up, he really looked like vampire in need of blood.
Incredible picture! Not as much as a fan of the sizes and placement of the logos, but it’s the graphic designer in me nitpicking.
He has been doing the more vampiric makeup on and off for some time.
I love the pose and composition and the overall look of the jacket but I agree that his face is just too heavily edited here. He is not quite unrecognisable but it looks more like something AI spit out than a photo. If they wanted that kind of vibe, I wish they had at least given the same treatment to his hands to make it cohesive.
I am a little sad because I genuinely love it otherwise. I think it represents well who he is now while still reliably invoking the kind of aesthetics he has made his trademark. I just wish it also had his face on it
Ever since that awful ponytail I’m not a fan of his recent looks. I miss Louis-era Kamijo
You take that back The high pony is so pretty
