not bad!
That breakdown is surprising and nice!
I love this.
love love love it ! reminds me of A9 releases during a certain period, like cross game 
Shou is also lucky ( or thanks to himself idk ) to be accompanied by all those cool well known musicians as well, brings a lot to the package.

I wish I liked Verde/ more considering half the support members are from one of my favorite bands. With that said, this release is the best I’ve heard from Shou so far since he went solo. Definitely reminiscent of A9
edit: The solo in Burning/ is 
That’s Yusuke for you

y’all think he buys views ? 
. I’ve seen once in this forum something about an artist being so obvious with it and i’ve been noticing it and doubting it ever since 
The views seems quite okay proportionally speaking to the ammount of comments ( unless you buy comments, but they seem genuine and not " bot-sounding ". )
Well, the comments seem low indeed, but even if paid views are included it’s not necessary the artist themselves, anybody can just google “buy youtube views” and get 100k on any video for $500
But on the other hand here is DEG’s video from a year ago with the same 100k views and it also has only 70 comments:
It’s not always about buying views, bands can invest money on the promotion. Like youtube ads and such. It’s more intelligent than buying views of robots, which is useless. Robots wont go to concerts.
oooh interesting
Honestly Dir en grey still got it I think , with a loyal and well established fandom, and The final is a classic, so the views seems legit to me, but Shou ( as much as I adore him ) is another story tho, specially concerning his solo project, clearly not the same prestige.
anyway for the views buying, I wonder if Youtube is more lenient on " smaller " accounts when it comes to its policy.
Most of the people watching it randomly ( out of curiosity, by mistake while clicking because of an ad ) wouldn’t either 
, but it’s still a good guess, virality on platforms is much easier.
For now i’ll stay in denial and just think Shou’s views are legit

People who watch it randomly are a chance for the band/artist. Because it’s the moment they can convince them. If they success, they get new fans. But of course, it’s not easy. the ad needs to be very appropriate. To the right audience who Can like this kind of music. It’s tough to do music these days, and try to make a living.

right right, there is at least an tiny tiny but possible, but I still think not the point of having this much views ( for most of them ). I recently noticed that even the interactions on social medias on VK Men’s twitter profiles ( even the ones who used to be pretty popular ) are depressingly low these days. Talks a lot about the overall situation of the scene.
edit : talking about this and seeing this tweet, I think he’s genuine lol

He tweeted the other day using Bahasa Indonesia language, saying that there are quite a few views from Indonesia. I wonder if some of these comments and engagements are taking place in a separate place!
