New band "DRUGS" has formed

Yoshiatsu I can’t take you seriously with this kind of statements xDDDDD

“Drugs” is not my Jam, but I do like Fukuro a lot. I have nothing against Yoshiatsu.

But statements like these are…well. I don’t know how to put it nicely.
If it would have been written by a pubescent teenager, that would be okay. But the man is in his late thirties and therefore I find it a bit cringe.

NOTE TO SELF: Yoshiatsu is NOT a Marvel character of the hero variety but DEFINITELY is a DC character either hero or villain (but will call himself hero regardless.)

Maybe he’s using chatgpt for translation you know. My japanese friend don’t know a word in english and uses it and the messages he sends me are pretty legit lol

This aside, I really want to appreciate and like DRUGS because of the lineup but I can’t think of a single song I liked from Tzk since literally Mejibray :skull: such a pity

Thats a busy set list. Hope to hear some of these other songs soon :folded_hands:

So far the songs they released are just interesting but they don’t massively grab me. So far the 1st and 3rd singles was their best outta the bunch i heard.

I don’t know why but i feel like tzk lost his touch for high pitch notes. Unless he is just singing off key on purpose which is sorta how this feels so far. Dude is a vocal coach so im surprised to hear this type of performance. I’ll most likely wait until they drop an album in order to properly have a full opinion about the band.

I dreamt about Yoshiatsu today. It was a tough day, I needed an afternoon nap. In the dream, Yoshiatsu was making a huge thread, being edgy and joker-pilled. Then, someone replied making fun of him. He responded to that person only with a picture of a grumpy gorilla and the caption “it ain’t funny”.

I had to do my best to recreate that image as soon as I woke up.

Summary

Thank you for your attention to this matter

I just got into Fukuro recently and started listening to this band too. I really like Yoshiatsu! He seems like a cool, passionate guy. I hope this band accomplishes a lot. :slight_smile:

Absolutely based.

Also, that new single made me feel a kind of way.

6th single “Flesh and Halo”

7th single “Carved in Alma”

I just discovered them. I have to say that of all the modern visual kei groups, this is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and promising.

I don’t listen to everything, but it’s been a long time since I’ve heard this level of quality in this genre. All the singles are very good; “死、省察” and “Echoes of the Hidden Self” are particularly excellent.

It almost gives me “Deadman” vibes (the comparison is a bit strong, but still).

Finally, a good project from Tsuzuku. The only downside is the rather silly band name and an overall artistic direction that could be classier. Curious to see what’s next tho !

I also feel I’m in the minority here. I’ve never really been a fan of Tsuzuku’s vocals and it’s why I never got into Mejibray so I feel the same listening to this band. Happy though for everyone, they are undoubtedly a super band, just not for me.

I still can’t decide if this is the best vk band this decade or hot garbage. I will say I absolutely love the sound of the drums, Yoshiatsu has fantastic taste in drum kits, and my curiosity hasn’t been piqued like this in a while

Gave i listen to the newer singles yesterday and it’s not for me I guess. I sat there and thought “yeah, sounds like drugs were involved in the making of this”.

But that’s not meant to shit on them. If that’s what floats you boat, all power to you.
