A trailer has now been released.
I’ve listened to hundreds of vkei bands and thousands of vkei songs, but this is the best one to me. I hope there can be another visual kei band in my lifetime that can match this.
The mixing is pristinely clear. Full of stunning symphonic sounds. Has humane sounding vocals full of passion, flat out phenomenal voice. And the lyrical meanings are just pure cinematic.
I wouldn’t have allowed this band to disband without remaking their signature “カレタソレイユ”, so glad they did. But the other remakes surprised me too, they really did a great job.
(14.) “朝焼けを待つ” I love the added omph to the backing vocals and background symphony, which is a general positive pattern with these remakes.
(18.) “Eternal” changed a lot too, but this old song was in desperate need of a remake.
(4.) “死にたい夜を越えて” has better vocals & sounds less digitalized with the sound now, thankfully.
(6.) “警告” surprised me at how much fuller it feels. I wasn’t a big fan of this song originally, but now I most definitely am.
(13.) “FALLING STAR” remake sounds the most similar to the original song without many noticeable changes.
(10.) “INNOVATOR” is perhaps the weirdest one to get used to with the biggest change, but I’ll have to judge these new versions by the whole track.
This pinnacle of a band somehow never got any proper attention during their decade long lifetime. I hope they may at least get a shred of what they deserved during these last weeks of activity. I would be happy if anyone would give the music that completely changed my life a listen.

Is this going to be physical only or is it to be on iTunes as well?
at moment nope. I think will be available only physical CD.
weeps in broke I was going to grab a digital copy, but I suppose I’ll hang tight for a little while.
I was surprised to see it wasn’t digitally released at the same time as the CD release date either. The last time this happened was way back in 2022, with the “Shinitaiyoruwokoete” single. It took about 3 months for that one to be digitally released for some reason.
Well, they are disbanding soon, so it doesn’t seem like we have to wait long to confirm whether it will or won’t be released digitally.
I had a bad feeling when they made 2 Types just for a 1 song difference, the money may be the reason they held off this time.
Their last best of albums in 2020 were never digitally released either btw, but let’s just wait and see for sure.

The intro has actually had several iterations.
It’s grown and changed quite a fair bit over the years.
The first iteration of this intro first debuted when Nagisa officially joined.
The spoken vocals have been recorded atleast 3 times if I’m remember correctly.
I honestly can’t believe it lasted pretty much the entirety of RiR’s existence but I’m so proud and humbled that it did.
