Due to my intensive WoW gaming for the past 2 months or so, and Ayu's busy schedule (causing her to reduce the times she update her LJ with Jrock goodies), i have COMPLETELY MISSED OUT KAGRRA,'S ALBUM.

Seems like they are slowly bringing back their type of music for which they are famous for. As compared to the couple singles/ one album before Shu, they were like going the normal rock feel, but for Shu, they have the tradidtional Japanese music feel. At least for most of the tracks in the album. I'll always be awed by Isshi's superb vocals, being able to sing in relatively high pitch so that his voice suits the music type, and when in real life, his voice is deep. Prolly the deepest in Kagrra,.

Anyway, I think i'm going to like Chariots even more now. I just got their single (from how long ago i do not know), and the opening track is fabulous. Seems like somehow the band retain a bit of feel from Phantasmagoria. (Riku, vocalist of Phantasmagoria went to become vocalist of Chariots after Phatas disbanded.) Wait, come to think of it, I think Kisaki is the one who is writing the songs for Chariots, right? Whatever, I love Kisaki's kind of music. I think he might be one of the few people who can composed every Jrock ballads and have me hook onto the songs. No wonder Kisaki left Dir en Grey, or rather the previous build up of DeG, because he has different type of music direction with the rest of DeG.

Moving on to Angelo, I haven't really got into them yet although its the buildup of Pierrot (minus Aiji and Jun). I have to say as of now, i prefer Kirito's solo works.

Lol. And Kirito is sure scawee =S

"Pierrot initially had a different line up in their indie days with KOHTA (Bass), Kirito (Guitar), Luka (Drums), Jun (Guitar) and Hidelow (Vocals). However, shortly after recording Kikurui Piero, the band’s first indie album, Luka left and TAKEO (ex-Superstar) replaced him on drums. A couple of months afterwards, an ultimatum from band leader Kirito, who had a different vision of the band than Hidelow, delivered along the lines of “Either Hidelow goes or I do” saw the departure of Hidelow. Aiji (ex-Kalen) was also recruited around that time and Kirito took over Hidelow’s position as vocalist."
