They are actually indie now. Little hearts handle their recordings and some big DVD suppliers distribute their CDs. With few middlemen their agency has gotten pretty greedy.
Also they probably had very low income during the hiatus, they may try to compensate for a while. Or maybe forever.
Their management agency is called C-Block. They also had The Kiddie and some other band that I can not recall right now.
They were not part of Avex. They always signed for a number of releases or years with major labels and them switched as contracts expired, or so it seems.
Curiously Sakito’s solo stuff, Jakigan Meister is still on the Avex sublabel. So he is still dealing with Avex while Nightmare as a whole ain’t.
Curious to see if Seesaw is produced independently or under Avex/hpr.
Lead song is an improvement over the last one but that Believing b-side is honestly my favourite track of theirs since the comeback. Hope to hear more like it in the future!
I was actually preparing to listen to their pop rock / ballad blah blah again , turns out I quite like this single, especially B.A.R.K = a classic Nightmare style rhythm (like the ジャイアニズム -GIANIZM- series), and Believing sounds a little bit like 2006 anima , 2007 the WORLD Ruler era
