Everything else is hikarito doing his thing, hope he sprinkles something a wee bit more interesting here and there

I like that low violin solo in Wonderland and Daytime Stars sounds really unique and promissing.
For Mirage I wasn’t paying attention to the tracklist and that Juri is featering in it. That screaming surprised me. XD
I’m happy for AURORIZE that they’ve finally got to collaborate with one of their favorite bandmen
They’re all fans of DELUHI and breakin’holiday.
Back in AIOLIN era, they did a 2man live and some livestreams with breakin’holiday. I hoped that they could work on a song with at least one member from breakin’holiday someday, and I felt that they’ve been wishing so, too. Even though that wish remained as a dream then, it finally came true!
Can’t wait to hear the whole song!
Speaking of song collaboration, hope that Yumishiro-san can work on a cover song with Kagami from DEXCORE someday! The two have been admiring each other since AIOLIN era, and both of them make cover songs from time to time. I bet it would be very cool if they work together
It’s great that collaborations are comman these days even in VK.
Oh, that would be wonderful. Kagamis soft voice and Yumishiros violin, for my imagination a perfect match. ^^
Danmmmm this band. It’s like the vocalist decided to put almost all the styles from his previous bands into this. I’m surprisingly here for this. His screams are back and better then ever
It makes sense how AIOLIN had such a huge following overseas, as they were a visual kei band who really reached out well thanks to their fully English subtitled Youtube videos and bilingual fluency of Hikarito! No one could have guessed something like COVID-19 could have happened and all their outward facing efforts would feel for naught though, it’s a very discouraging story to hear.
And I wouldn’t be able to agree more with their official reason given for the disbandment. Even as someone who wasn’t a fan of AIOLIN until after their disbandment, it was easy to see how much more popularity they deserved compared to their skill and effort. They brought such a unique sound to the table thanks to the violin and Hikarito’s unique voice, and their high quality releases were always so frequent despite only having one composer, (as far as I know).
And I would not have had any idea about You’s predicament hadn’t you shared, so we really appreciate all this knowledge being trustedly passed down! That most significant story about his bullying really broke my heart to hear, how foolishly such hurtful things can escalate… I can see why many bandmen don’t leave their Direct Messages open, and I now only cherish those who do even more. It also serves as a good signal for us to be more keen on not comparing artists and to be emotionally aware on the things we say as listeners, even if we think we may mean them with playful intent.
Disbanding in order to later create a new band that begins and ends only with these newly improved members from all their solo projects after AIOLIN was a great idea for the sake of You!
By the way, speaking of the member improvements, it seems not only their skills but also their names levelled up! “SURUGA” is such a fitting name for someone as tough looking as him, that I was surprised to find out it was something else prior. I also prefer the slightly prettier name Seira more…
Yes, Hikarito did all the compositions. I don’t know if Yumishiro-san is going to compose all the songs for AURORIZE or not, but the answer is very likely to be a yes, I guess?
It’s a pity that AIOLIN didn’t get the popularity they deserved. Hope AURORIZE will be a lot more popular.
Even though AIOLIN disbanded, they obviously still care about each other. Last time when You did a live broadcast on Instagram, he shared the news about AURORIZE’s debut and even asked the viewers to support AURORIZE. That’s very nice of him
I agree that the members have improved! The improvement of their skills really show in “AURORA.” Can’t wait to get the album!
The name SURUGA sure fits him, for he is from Shizuoka (The Suruga (駿河) District is located in Shizuoka Prefecture) hhh He didn’t come from The Suruga District though. Both SURUGA-san and Yumishiro-san came from Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka.
Besides geography as one of the reasons, SURUGA-san mentioned in a live broadcast that his real name contains the word “駿,” so he chose this stage name. His real name must be pretty cool, too
Though Seira-san only changed one letter of his original stage name, the new stage name sure sounds slightly prettier, and is a bit pixie-like in my opinion
We get to hear a bit more of MIRAGE at the end of this video!
It’s a different excerpt from the one used in AURORIZE’s 1st album trailer!
Hope Juri will collaborate with AURORIZE and Yumishiro-san more often
