The new MV really warms your heart, despite the song having a touch of sadness.

 

Hmm, not a big fan of the lead single, but it is a solid track. It just reminds me too much of another song... But then again might be the same producers/writers (signature sound)
I wish amazon will let me order the album already...

Same, but she is a (lovable) weirdo anyways ^_^

I still not sure what this project is about, but it seems to be something related to music. Going by the tweet above, it looks like they had some vocal training/studies recently/today...

Izumi Marin/泉真凜 gig today (15/03/2021) will be streamed from tomorrow on LINE LIVE: LINK
I have no idea, if it is only accessible with a premium sub or not, like her last live streamed show. However, it is worth a having a look, if you want to see YURI and Nohara Izumi on stage performing again.

Gimetech upcoming gig is on the 17/MAR/2021. It is just a reminder. You can finds more details on my previous post (it will be streamed on youtube for free, but you can donate if you want)

Kanaetai No Desu。playing a gig on the 27/MAR/2021. The gig will be streamed on twitcasting: LINK
Ticket price for the stream is 2000JPY + fees. Remember to select the artist you want to support, if you want to see the show.

 

@radiohifi Honestly, I love the song but some of that may be that the general vibe and especially the chorus sounds - to me at least - a LOT like that of Hiragana Keyaki/Hinatazaka46's Soredemo Aruiteru. Albeit more electric.

Which is, you know, fine because I love both groups.

 

I like the guitar parts of the song but overall the song just doesn't "scream" that it is performed by a band which is the main marketing point of the group. i would want something more upbeat especially for a lead song.

Also they'll be extending the weekly live for one weekend with the list of performers written here:
https://twitter.com/the_coinlockers/status/1372096349085175808

Also they're partnering with Tower Records and will be holding two sets of live performances on April 24: one with an audience(selected through lottery) and one without but will be streamed online. https://www.thecoinlockers.com/news/?id=281

But in order to watch you have to buy the album through Tower Records and the viewing key is included on the album package itself. Tower Records ships internationally but the viewing key is not included on international orders so you have to be in Japan or send it to Japanese address to be able to watch the live.

 

Album release special stream on the 23rd March 2021! Source
Of course it will be streamed on another streaming platform, so typical coinlockers management ^_^;
This time on Mixchannel
Their official mixchannel page: https://mixch.tv/u/16056692
I know that mixchannel does offer archiving, but I cannot remember if you can put it in place after a stream or set it up beforehanded. So if you are a big fan, either watch it live or recorded with a capture tool, such as streamlink with a batch file or similar.

I kind of get what you are saying.
I personally find it overproduced. The trumpet and the saxophone stand out too much in my opinion.

Wow, they do sound similar

 

read this a lot from fans but didn't really realized it would be THAT similar.

I remember them doing a Line livestream lunchtime on a weekday just because they wanted to lol.

Today's live:

Nakasete Kurenai Ka first 13 member performance on "Blackboard"

if the video does not show watch the video here

somehow it feels weird again to see a 13-man band again. probably got used already to their 5 man set-ups already.

in case you missed it 3 members started tiktok

Udo: https://www.tiktok.com/@yuna_udo?lang=en
Amiri: https://www.tiktok.com/@tamura_amiri?lang=en
Matsumoto: https://www.tiktok.com/@rinam_captain_tcl?lang=en

 

This is some Polyphonic Spree level stage over-population.

But bloody fantastic.

Man, I'm going to miss all these lives we've been graced with the last few months.

 

" Seishun to bando wa, tanoshikute mendokusai" ended it's firts week at 18th place in Oricon ranking, with 5,852 copies sold
https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/w/2021-04-05/p/2/

That's an ok number, something like 1,4k improvement since their previous CD work (2nd single, Boku wa shiawase nanoka ?). also considering that albums are more expensive than singles.
