Continuing with the traditional strange english names~
Not my thing, but they sound okay :melting_face:

I actually really like this. The guitar riff has that predominant late-'90s bluesy jangle pop tone/vibe, and the video seems to have taken inspiration from that era too.

Kai is ex-NOCTSCURE–>KILLANETH–>TRNTY D:CODE
Yutori, Taku and Atsuki are all ex-Pentagon.

this is actually SUPER GOOD

That band name, lmao…

The music sounds quite alright tho! Surprising to see it’s ex-vk bandmen apparently.

Sounds great! They still look kind of visual, just softer. TBH this isn’t too far off from a chanty/nue/nurie/umbrella type of sound.

Oh it’s that Kai. Wow, another band he’s not going to do anything with. TRNTY D:CODE aren’t even disbanded somehow, I guess 39 owns it or something. So this is Pentagon minus minpha with Kai on vocals, huh. Eh, not my cup of tea.

Daddy ? or Baby ?

Yeah, now I want a coupling release with Chanty

I love this!

This is an odd combo and unexpected. Kai usually were in bands that were dark and metal. This is surprising.

It sure is nice, but with pretty much all the notable mid 2010s boys going softer, there is not enough heaviness going around with the new blood :smiley: later this year, it wouldn’t surprise me if Issei were to come out with a smooth jazz outfit, to scratch that kind of a drumming itch.

Vo.Kai has left the band on 10/14 due to musical differences. The band will continue activities.

The dude just can’t catch a break.

what a letdown

their album is pretty good, nothing groundbreaking but super chill… you can catch a glimpse here and there of pentagon vibes

hope they find a new vocalist and keep going
