retsu is probably super proud of 1:15~1:30

Well, THE MADNA most certainly studied the essence . That being said, I’ve found their lead tracks to be pretty lukewarm since “sweet dream”. I won’t write the release off until I hear the b-sides, though.

this feels like you would make a Dimlim Vanitas but water it down as much as possible, like Sho would in his Essence days still would have tried to have a regular amount of emotion in his voice, even this is lacking here.
I can’t get to completely hate it as I dig the refrain more than I want to admit, but otherwise this song is in such a weird uncanny valley inbetween of trying things and doing nothing.

But I also don’t want to critise it too much because every attempt at Vanitas is a welcome for me.

This slaps so hard holy moly :scream:

Decent but I’m so happy to hear Taka improving, I’ve always felt their guitar work was lacklustre so I’m glad he’s trying out some new ideas.

New link to the video!!! They had to re-upload it because of track mistake. I feel like new version is even more stronger ~

What they changed? Maybe I will hear changes, but I listened it once so I can miss something.

in my ears it sound much moooore rich! it feels like everything floats in your head when you listen to it. and more clear piano?

This should be the old one albeit with Bilibili’s own added compression if someone wants to compare:

One of my ears are out of commission for probably a week, so I can’t reliably judge differences. If I were to take a guess, they previously uploaded the video with an older mix that wasn’t final (?)

Yo this is really good, probably my favourite song from them so far. Even though like others have said it’s ‘heavily inspired’ by vanitas

This is a guide for people who want to participate at THE MADNA signing event on March 23!

Sorry but the previous version was far better (for me), Having now the extra synths make waters down most of what I found on the song before great. The synth string in the refrain makes the thing far more tacky cliche when it before hold a lot of power.

The new single is available to streaming services also to buy on OTOTOY

Thank you! So amazing

This single is absolutely bonkers, I love it. I’ve played it so many times already. Here’s hoping this is a direction they keep going in, especially for their next album era
