<strong>Natsu Koi Natsu Game (August 12th 2009)</strong><br />
1. 夏恋★夏GAME<br />
2. ??? (&lt; Help?)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Wow its been like 4 months since my last review, maybe a bit less but its time to get back into, with Exams coming up, I am going to be listening to a lot of Visual Kei music to get my mind of things. This Post will be all about the New Single (not new anymore) Natsu Koi Natsu Game. Which is really good&#8230;I fell in love with the song as soon as I heard it&#8230;then I watched the music video and fell even more in love with it!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok So <strong>夏恋★夏GAME</strong> is a cross between a surfie song and a really upbeat tune. the intro is slow, however the tone of Kanon&#8217;s Bass and Yuuki&#8217;s Keys soon creates this upbeat tune when we reach the pre chorus. Miku&#8217;s vocals also attribute to the slow start yet soon we really do hit a fast beat chorus which really gets you going. In fact by watching the PV you see that there is a catchy dance that is sweeping Japan which is so easy to learn and remember, in fact go to YouTube and type in: &#8221;Natsu Koi Natsu Game Dance&#8221; and you will see what I mean. However this song is really enchanting, Miku&#8217;s vocals really get you going and though it starts slow it gets going fast!! 夏恋★夏GAME has what a call a sketchy yet dynamic bridge and instrumental, not one of their best but it can be placed up there (not nearly as good as Snow Scene or Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero Without a name~) but ya gotta give takuya the chance.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok Before I go Heikin Saiten on ya all I better list the sad news, it is confirmed that Antic Cafe will take a sabbatical or a break in 2010 after their show at Nippon Budokan which is on the 4th of january 2010. This was announced by their official site which read &#8220;after the Budokan show, each member will concentrate on their own activity to be prepared for the band to restart in the future.&#8221; this also means that they will not disband but just be on hiatus.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok now for Heikin Saiten&#8230;well for the album&#8230;hm I give 8/10 for the cover, the music which I loved I will give, a 9/10 for that one but this will split me, the Lyrics however I will have to give 8/10 for it. Which means that the total Heikin Seitan score for the Single 夏恋★夏GAME:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>8.3 out of 10</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So I must apologize for the very late review, and well I gotta get onto more, I might just grab a CD and do some songs and review a whole heap over the next week and try to get back into this the routine, also I might try and catch up others and their reviews cause I need to see how yall are going. But hey its good to be back into this, and over the next few weeks I will gt back into the routine&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-117" title="Aitakute" src="http://shikakutekinakei.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/aitakute.png?w=400&#038;h=399" alt="Aitakute" width="400" height="399" /><strong>Aitakute (May 27th 2009)</strong><br />
1. Aitakute<br />
2. master piece<br />
3. Soprano (CD A only)<br />
4. Summer Chime (CD B only)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Starting off the single is <strong>Aitakute</strong> which begins immediately with it&#8217;s mid-tempo chorus. The song while not being too upbeat has a sort of relaxed feeling to it which especially expresses itself through Aoi&#8217;s soft and controlled vocals. The flow from the bridge to the chorus is nice while not necessarily making the chorus the &#8220;climax&#8221; of the song. I really like the repeated guitar rifts in the song, along with Aoi&#8217;s vocals. A very solid a-side.</p>
<p>The b-side included on both versions of the album is <strong>master piece</strong>. Ignoring it&#8217;s almost etheral like intro that leads into a fast paced and mellow song, I really enjoyed this song. It&#8217;s similar to the a-side in that it isn&#8217;t a full blown rock track that focuses on only the instrumental but instead has an awesome sounding synth line accompanied by Aoi&#8217;s once again quieter vocals. His vocals build up once the bridge kicks in and flow smoothy into that great chorus.</p>
<p>Featured only on the CD A version of the single is <strong>Soprano</strong>. I was surprised to find out that it was a full blown ballad with both strings and a marvelous piano melody. Actually, this would be my favorite song from the single simply because of how beautiful that piano is. Once the second verse kicks in, drums are added into the mix, makign the song just that more epic. Aoi&#8217;s vocals are fit for the song, although he clearly struggles to hit a lot of the notes, most specifically the higher ones. Eitherway, their not annoying enough to not allow me to enjoy this well crafted and beautiful piano ballad.</p>
<p>On the CD B version we have <strong>Summer Chime</strong> which easily takes the prize for most upbeat and bright track on the single. I thought it had a lot of potential based on it&#8217;s synth intro(which has almost zero relativity with the song itself) and even though it begins with an enjoyable chorus, I just couldn&#8217;t get over how horrible that instrumental leading into the first verse. You can hear a whistle and some circus sounding horn which totally turned me off. Apart from that huge mistake, the song itself is pretty fun with a great bridge, even though the chorus ain&#8217;t all that great.</p>
<p>Being my first ever Visual-Kei single, I was pleasently surprised by this group. I chose them because it&#8217;s their debut single on a major label and well, the covers were nice. I enjoyed every song on the album(minus Summer Chime) and really hope to hear another great ballad from them again. Soprano impacted me in a really good way, to be honest.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><strong>9.5 out of 10</strong></div>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div><em>Crispy&#8217;s Edit: A really big thanks to Jin of</em> <a title="Sora to Kujira" href="http://soratokujira.wordpress.com/"><em>Sora to Kujira </em></a><em>for this review, its really good because i was originally going to do Ayabie&#8217;s Aitakute but could not ge a hold of it. He even used the Heikin Saiten System of rating. So thank you for this review. Hopefully this review will lead the way in many guest reviews to come!! Thank you to Jin of Sora to Kujira&#8230;</em></div>

<strong>the beautiful name (2009)</strong></p>
<p>Ever since I got Alice Nine’s Vandalize album I have been absolutely head over heels in love with their song the beautiful name, I got Hyperballad to watch the PV and he enjoyed it too. So I decided why keep it between us, I might as well show the whole world the song I am in love with, the song that was able to beat Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero without the Name~ as my favourite song of the time being. Also I wish to note that in August it will be Alice Nine’s 5<sup>th</sup> year together, but more on that later!!!</p>
<p>Before I start the PV review I should note that I will be drawing my review from the PV provided on the DVD that came in my Special Edition Vandalize album. Ok onto the PV review, the beginning of the PV we see an old and fragile man taking a nice lovely stroll on the beach, in his hand is a camera which looks old itself. Suddenly we see letters and an effect which takes us to some stairs where a few people (Alice Nine) are walking down, obviously on their way to somewhere. Back to the old man and then back to Alice Nine, except now they are still and we see them getting ready, by taking off their glasses, putting on their guitars and having a smoke (yes that is Saga, their Bassist that is doing that).</p>
<p>Now we are beginning the song, we see shadows of the band while some lights behind them are lighting up. A piano is playing though you cannot see any pianos in the PV, you should know that it is usually Tora that plays the piano. So we hear the piano playing then as a media effect we see silhouette of a guitar playing and if you have good eyes, you will notice Saga playing Bass at the same time. We are now into the song when you see the silhouette of drums being played and hear that drum beat. Lets not also forget that in the background we have these lights flashing behind the band. You will also notice and stare in awe the lights as they change into the galaxy that is above our heads, and I was lost in the beauty of the stars…before we hear Shou’s magical voice we see the background change, into the sky and flashing lights, if you get lost in their beauty then you know that this is an amazing song. Finally we hit the chorus and yes that is Shou, I know, I was like “EEP!!!” and amazingly in love with him♥ Ok so off track there with my obsessions…anyway yes that is Shou and yes he does look fabulous, now I know why the first 10 rows were filled with girls in the Tsubasa live video. Ok so now after we have paused the screen, drooled at Shou and then hit play again. We see shots of Shou and the band as they perform, and sadly I would have to say that Shou is still the best looking there but Saga does come close. Ok now enough of the perv/stalker talk. Ok so during the next chorus as the band plays we see their silhouette and this magnificent and awe-inspiring landscape, I was blown away, I want to travel and that landscape is one of the reasons why. Though we see the sky, it follows that motif of beauty, that’s right its what the beautiful name is all about, beauty.</p>
<p>Ever watched the sunset? I have! Ever watched the sunset and got lost in it’s poetic beauty? I have! Next to Shou, I think the sunset is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen (sorry Saga!!). The Canyon landscape is the next beautiful scene we see, I too was lost in it’s beauty and I must mention, that the music and song lyrics really fit the scenes we see, it is a perfect combination…just like AROMA by Antic Café, the music and lyrics fit the video and I feel honoured that I got to review these songs. The chorus again and sadly its not the same like the first since in the first we were graced by Shou, in this one we are graced by another sunset, and yes sunsets really are poetic, so if you a little bit of a poet like myself you must check out a sunset, find a nice high up look out, sit down and watch the beauty. So past the chorus we hit the bridge and back to the cool flashy lights (bit like a nightclub here in Australia!!). We hear Shou’s fabulous vocals, and they are just the best! We also see a silhouette of the band which is best seen when we cross over Shou. During this period towards the end of the song we see about 6 different landscapes and personally my favourite I the temple in the forest, but they are all good, no sorry that was a lie, they are all that eye-catching beauty that puts us in a calm and soft tender way, it is just breathe taking. Finally we are back to the sweet soft melody we heard at the start, except minus the piano. This is the closing of the song, as the music as come to a stop (something I wished never happened) we are then brought back to the old man and the beach, Which finally ends that last message, beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and ages.</p>
<p>Ah you know I am dreading on giving the beautiful name a score, because I know its going to be high since I really enjoyed the PV, in fact, like the Album which was reviewed earlier in the month, the beautiful name is most likely to reach the Top Reviews page. Ok so yes I will give a Heikin Saiten score, and that will be 9/10 for the Lyrics, a 9.5/10 for the music and I guess a 9.5/10 for the Footage, only because it was so good. I loved but it doesn’t really deserve that high of a score because I am we all want to fall in love the music, not Shou! Ok, the final Heikin Saiten score is:</p>
<p align="center">9.3 out of 10</p>
<p>Sadly it actually misses out on making the Top Reviews page by only a minimal 0.2!! Sorry the beautiful name, I am so sorry. So I really enjoy this review but I enjoy reviewing all up.</p>
<p>Ok so this is what you must look for in the next few weeks, an X-Japan review in celebration of ~Revolution1000~ and also look out for a Perfume review as well. Another thing worth noting is, as I mentioned earlier in the review, is Alice Nine turns 5 next month (August) and to do a special Tribute, I will do Alice Nine reviews left, front and centre, actually just kidding, for a whole week, I will do the Alice Nine Birthday Week, which will have either a Single, Album or PV review of Alice Nine’s music, also look out for a live Tsubasa video in that week, that is a guarantee. Please note that I have also changed the Top Reviews Page, in which that the criteria to get on to the page has changed but only for Heikin Saiten reviews, that is the total score of the review must be 9.5 or higher to make the list. This is only due to the near impossibility of making the top 10/10 and it is yet to happen, I cannot wait because when that happens there is going to be a party at Hyperballad’s place!!!</p>

<strong>I&#8217;ll Kill you (June 1985)<br />
</strong>1. I&#8217;ll Kill you<br />
2. Break the Darkness</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">After a while I will finally bring you the Legendary X-Japan for the second part of the ~Revolution1000~ special, now here is the deal. I was meant to put up a post on Alice Nine but sadly I forgot my USB and sadly it will wait until tomorrow. So why this single? Since X-Japan was one of the first original Visual Kei bands, I thought I will review their very first single. I do really mean very first. so sit back and enjoy Part Two of ~Revolution1000~!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Their first song <strong>I&#8217;ll Kill You</strong> is a very good song, especially since it is hardcore and I am not a big fan of hardcore, so to have me say it is very good would be a feat that X-Japan will need to hold onto in their Awards Cabinet. The song starts off with guitars sounding through an amp which is followed by the &#8220;I will Kill you!!!&#8221; which then puts the song in the fast gear and gets into the rolling drums and fastly played guitars, There is no screaming but some really good singing, The song is fast paced and a simple distraction will get you to lose track of where you are. Trust me, I just learnt that!!! To really get the best out of I&#8217;ll Kill you, you must stayed focused on it and get really into it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Their Next song is<strong> Break the Darkness</strong> and similar to I&#8217;ll Kill you it has that more hardcore sound to it. I really enjoyed Break the Darkness and well I didn&#8217;t fall in love with it like I did for the beautiful name by Alice Nine I had actually liked it, and unlike Dir En Grey I might actually keep it on my iPod, I don&#8217;t know yet. Both songs have that really heavy yet easy to do guitar solos and one big comment on the style, X-Japan was out there they made Visual Kei famous with their style and well they didn&#8217;t get me into but I did love their style, it really reflects the 1980&#8242;s with a modern Harajuku twist (though it didn&#8217;t exist then so maybe they started the trend?).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yes thats the end of the X-Japan Review, not as long as the Aroma review or the Alice Nine review that will appear in the next few days. Ok so its Heikin Saiten time but I feel guilty on giving the Gods of Visual Kei a score&#8230;ok so since this is a special, and all I decided no score will be given to X-Japan, its just wrong and Taboo!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Thats it, please enjoy it, also please note that on the sidebar there is a new special, the 5th Anniversary of Alice Nine, happening this August!!! Oh and those who really enjoy hardcore music, then I highly recommend that you invest in X-Japan!!! Ah and Lastly:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>A Very Late Happy birthday to Kanon-san of Antic Cafe!!! (July the 6th)</strong></p>

Aroma (March 16th 2009)</p>
<p>Ok So I am going to do a PV review on Antic Café’s AROMA which was released on March 16<sup>th</sup> 2009. AROMA can also be found on Antic Café’s CD/DVD Harajuku Dance Rock. Ok so it is the best idea to write reviews on my Laptop because I actually have a lot of Videos on there because I like to download Youtube videos. I actually have every single Antic Café PV that they have realised ( which shows how much of a fan I am, not to mention I have all of Back-On’s as well). I decided to do A PV review because I know they are easier and with my Work Experience and all.</p>
<p>So onto the Review, first off Antic Café has five members now Miku (vocals), Takuya (Guitar), Kanon (Bass), Yuuki (Keyboard) and Teruki (Drums) which they have been post-2007 whereas pre-2007 they were a four person band when it was Miku (Vocals), Bou (Guitar), Kanon (Bass) and Teruki (Drums). So that’s why it is weird when you might have read my Cherry Saku Yuki review and then read my Escapism review or vice versa and thought “What the heck? I thought there was Four/Five members…”. So that’s to clear that up. Bou had left early (January) 2007 and later Takuya and Yuuki joined the Group (February) 2007.</p>
<p>AROMA PV first brings your attention to a Black Rose. Metaphorically I have no clue on that. The next shot we see Teruki spinning the drumsticks, in a nice fluent way, which I think is cool, which at the exact same time we hear Takuya on his guitar which we almost instantaneously see him tapping on his guitar (for the not so musically bright: Tapping is when you do not pick, or strum a guitar but instead tap at the strings on the fret board to give it a more singular sound, Tapping is not like a hammer on where you hit the string with your fret fingers, you actually use your strumming fingers). Next I want to draw your attention to the mass amounts of candles on the screen, it gives it that effect, for those who know little on Harajuku Japan, at the given time of recording Gothic Lotita was the latest fashion of the time and that is where Aroma gets it’s setting. The Black Rose is then used many times. Miku’s singing also reinforces the Gothic theme as does the instruments. Next feature I wish to mention is the back-up singing that really pushes that gothic theme. Not only that but Yuuki’s keyboard playing is also really driving that fact since he only plays on certain bars. Now that White dress, not it is not a Chanel, but it has a symbolic meaning to it’s purpose, it contrasts to the Black Rose which I just remembered one of it’s meanings, forgotten or lost love (could be unforgiving love as well). So the contrast of the white dress to the Black Rose shows that Miku has been hurt (metaphorically). Miku is then seen Caressing the White dress which then shows that he has longed for the love but is this love what it truly can be? (hence the black rose). Roses mean love (red Roses) and Black Roses mean the opposite to love (afore mentioned).</p>
<p>Now the Bridge comes along and we see that Miku is now holding a red rose which means he has now found the real and true love. I wish to bring your attention to Takuya’s Tapping. Tricky to do but it is effective. It builds up the song to the climax point, the Bass and drums both slowly make their way into the song and this empowers the song to really show its true Gothic side (according to a Facebook quiz, my Harajuku fashion is Gothic Lotita). We see each musician in the Band: Takuya, Kanon, Yuuki and Teruki. We also Miku appear between each one. Note something else, Kanon is wearing an Eye patch, the same kind to the one he wore in Cherry Saku Yuki, but he is wearing it on a different to Cherry Saku Yuki (in Aroma its on his Right side and in Cherry Saku Yuki it is on his left side). We finally see the Black Rose burn into flames, this is truly a metaphorically desirable moment because Miku has destroyed the Unforgiving darkness in his heart. Finally unlike the start where we see only the Black Rose we now see it with the Red Rose.</p>
<p>Aroma is truly a beautiful song. I know I have mostly gone on about the PV (which is what a PV review is) but the music and lyrics of Aroma truly capture me (so does Kanon’s hat). What I really love about Aroma is that the PV really matches the music where sometimes you get those PV’s that really are the opposite of what the song it is being played with. Aroma is all about the Black Rose that we all have, the desire for Unforgiving Love, but it is Countered and Contrasted by the Red Rose and White Dress that represents true love and happiness. To find the right partner and have a desirable relationship is what humans desire, (sometimes Marriage but sadly I cannot get married because Law does not permit it, and because there is Homophobes in Parliament). Aroma in my opinion is a truly romantic and heart-captivating song.</p>
<p>So to the final part of the review which is the Heikin Seitan part of the review. In a CD review I would go Lyrics, Instruments and Cover Art, but in a PV Review I go Lyrics, Instruments, and Visual (which is the actual video part). So for Lyrics I give a 9.5/10 because they are captivating. Due to Takuya’s skillful and expertly Tapping I give a 9.5/10 and lastly for the actual PV I give out 10/10 only because it follows the song and is truly appealing to those who watch it. Finally the score ends up to be:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>9.6 out of 10</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Which is very good, I know its not a top review but I have been giving thought and I am thinking that a review that is done on the Heikin Saiten System should be allowed 0.5 leaveway to be a top review (i.e. 9.5 or above; but must be the final score). Especially since the Heikin Saiten System is more tougher to get a perfect score.</p>
<p>Ok so that is the end of this PV Review of Antic Café’s Aroma (on Harajuku Dance Rock CD/DVD). I hope you enjoyed the review and please psyche yourself up for the (as announced yesterday in the ~Revolution1000~ special) X-Japan Review. Thanks so much to you all.<span> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well VK Revolution has had 1000 hits since May 25<sup>th</sup> 2009 Which is the opening day of VK Revolution and since then I have had Nine main reviews (you would expect that with only 6 weeks in action) and many updates, with one of them a survey that was lent to me by <a href="http://hyperballad.wordpress.com/">Hyperballad</a> and that was used as a filler until I got some CD’s or in this case cracked to do a second Antic Café Review. Also (oops broke the ABBA rule) the page has been developed to include an About VK Revolution page, an About the Author (me!!), a Top review page for the reviews that score a perfect review and a page that has all the Requests that have been asked. I also have widgets that include the What’s Coming up and Special Events. Also (ABBA rule, again…) I have include a Blogroll and my own Twitter Live Feed, which I use a lot.</p>
<p>So really enough on blabbing about What VK Revolution has…Its all about the fact that I have had 1000 hits and that it is thanks to…YOU!! That’s right it is all thanks to you: the readers, the followers, the fans, the obsessed and other reviewers. So that is what the ~Revolution1000~ is all about.</p>
<p>To start off the ~Revolution1000~ special I thought I might make a few special mentions that are worth knowing. Most importantly to Alvy of <a href="http://a2fiction.wordpress.com/">A<sup>2</sup>Fiction</a> and <a href="http://alvycunha.wordpress.com/">HEARTSTATION</a> who is about to celebrate Two years of Heartstation which I find is in deserving of an applause. I do believe that is coming up on July the 12<sup>th</sup> (Correct me if I am wrong). Also another mention to Selryam of <a href="http://selryam.com/">What is Disco?</a> Who now has his own site that has his own “non-wordpress” controlled domain. Well Done to both of you!!</p>
<p>Ok so that’s it for the special mentions. Now onto the Clichéd stuff. The first thanks that needs to be given is to my friend Laura who supports me all the way, otherwise known as Crunchy she is fun and very cool to hang around with, it was her who inspired me to get out there and write to my heart’s content. It was her who told me “If you love it so much marry it!!” Well, Legally I cannot get married, plus many people think its wrong for people like me to get married. So I decided to create a review site, with the already popular <a href="http://crispyrants.wordpress.com/">Crispy Rants</a> I decided to expand my writing talents from Random Outburst, stories and poetry (though haven’t written a poem in a while) to reviews in the form of VK Revolution.</p>
<p>The next (important) thanks goes out to the people who read VK Revolution, many of them do not comment on the site because they could be too timid or scared, and I know some have just spoken to me via my <a href="http://twitter.com/Crispy04">Twitter</a>. So thank you to all those who read VK Revolution that I do not know of and please: COMMENTS ARE WELCOME.</p>
<p>Final word of thanks that I must give is for the support I get from other reviewers, they support me just as I support them, and then look at them weird when they scream at a Dir En Grey Review (Hyperballad!!!)…I would like to thank all review sites but that means we will be here all day. So thanks to a certain few including those afore mentioned like A<sup>2</sup>Fiction’s Alvy, Selryam of What is Disco? Hyperballad, Bozu from Joy to Love, Aikorin from Disco-munication, Josh from Shuffle and Repeat and I know there is a few others so Thanks a lot to them as well. I must also include non-reviewer Renaye who has also occasionally read my reviews despite the not-so-into taste for Visual Kei.</p>
<p>Ok So that’s it for ~Revolution1000~ but that’s not the end of VK Revolution, I have decided to announce a review that will put you off your chair and make you jump for joy…that’s right I am announcing that in the coming weeks, I will review one of the founding bands of Visual Kei, Japanese Rock legends…</p>
<p align="center"><strong>X-Japan</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yes that’s right, X-Japan…(This is the part where Hyperballad screams)…Ok now that Hyperballad and any others have stopped screaming in joy. I have announced one band but there are many more so I might as well announce them too. So in the next few weeks along with X-Japan, Shiina Ringo, Ayabie, and some of my requests I will be reviewing some PV’s including Antic Café’s latest AROMA, also to add to the list I will review Back-On’s new song &#8220;We are&#8230;&#8221; which is on an IAMS Animal Shelter Documentary and finally another big announcement is that VK Revolution which was meant to be focused on just Visual Kei will now to more non-Visual Kei reviews, but I will try not to allow them to consume the Visual Kei Bands.</p>
<p>That’s it for the ~Revolution1000~ I hope you all keep tuned to VK Revolution for the latest reviews including X-Japan, which reminds me, I want to know which album of X-Japan’s do you wish for me to review, please vote via the poll and the result will be announced in this space. Anyways Thanks again : )</p>

14. Glass Skin (Japanese Version)<br />
15. Dozing Green (Japanese Version)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok So, geez, I got this CD off one of my friends, and well I only got it to review, Cause I know that I would not like Dir En Grey since they are a bit to &#8220;Hardcore&#8221; for me, I prefer your good ol&#8217; rock like Alice Nine, Antic Cafe, (now AAA, lol), plus others which would be too long&#8230;anyways so the thing this review may have a little bias in it but I will try my very best to pull away from that bias to do this review.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The first song on the track goes for about 2 minutes and is very short, <strong>Sa Bir</strong> sounds very middle eastern in my opinion. It has some scremas in the background which makes it sound like a horror film. <strong>Vinushka</strong> is the opposite of Sa Bir and goes for over 9 minutes, which is a long time for playing (I pity Shinya, their Drummer), its less on the scream side but there is some. The music has a similar feel to it like Sa Bir, that Middle Eastern influence. <strong>Red Soil</strong> is the third track and thankfully not as long as Vinushka, starts quiet then seconds later its still follows that theme of Middle Eastern influence. The steady guitar line is kept consistent throughout the track which is very I believe. <strong>Doukoku to Sarinu</strong> is the next song on the CD and I guess, truth is I never really liked it, its too full on this song, just the heavy drummer and in-your-face guitar lines. <strong>Toguro</strong> is the following track and starts of like your casual Rock and the Vocals still follow that middle eastern theme, I think they might be playing that theme all CD. <strong>Glass Skin</strong> is the next song and it has this piano intro to it that resembles Alice Nine a little, which I like, and its not so full on, so as you might have guessed, I enjoyed it. <strong>Stuck Man</strong> is the following track and unlike the track before, its not so Alice Nine-ish, but anyway, this has that full on appraoch to it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Reiketsu Nariseba</strong>, follows that Middle eastern theme that has been played out throughout the whole album but mixes with the hardcore effect Dir En Grey has on most of their songs (I said Most). <strong>Ware, Yami Tote&#8230;</strong> is the next song and by now I am craving Antic Cafe (sorry had to put it in), this one is a little slower and reason why I added in Antic Cafe is because I have a feeling that it might have influenced Aroma by Antic Cafe (review coming soon&#8230;one day). <strong>Bugaboo</strong> is the next track and begins with a slow approach and then *bang* its screaming right at ya!!! <strong>Gaika, Chinmoku ga Nemuru Koro</strong> follows Bugaboo and has this (slightly) happy charm to the start but soon that is killed by the screaming hallows of Dir En Grey (can you imagine a live gig??). <strong>Dozing Green</strong> is the next song and on the original CD is the second last (but this is the American Version) and there is another 3 that follow, but it is quite the track but I honestly believe the vocals are too quiet with the middle eatern theme of the music. <strong>Inconvenient Ideal</strong> is the next song, which means we are nearly there, the track hs that middle eastern intro to it and a nice easy start with the guitar, the intro is not quite like the rest of the album except for Glass Skin. It has an ease and soft feeling to it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The last two tracks on the CD come only with the American Version and are the Japanese Versions of Glass Skin and Dozing Green, so they have the similar sounds to it except the other ones are in english and these Versions are Japanese. Since they are the same songs except different languages they are the same but actually sound much better since they are Japanese (I don&#8217;t know why). So <strong>Glass Skin (Japanese Version)</strong> is the Alice Nine sound-alike bit the nonetheless is still very well played which I really enjoyed. <strong>Dozing Green (Japanese Version)</strong> is like the Japanese Version of Glass Skin with that they both sound better in the Eastern Language. Thats in my opinion.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So the final part of the review is the Heikin Saiten grading. Which I will be very unbiased towards but if there is a little bias then who cares, build a bridge and get over it. For the Middle Eastern themed music i give&#8230;7/10, Dir En Grey really should stick to the Eastern music they know well, I mean bits of it worked here and there but failed at some points. On the area of the Lyrics with some of it too hard to Understand, but some easy to get, I will give&#8230;(tough, this one) 7.5/10 and finally Cover Art which reflects who the band is&#8230;8/10. Finally the total and last rating:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>7.5 out of 10</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok thats the end of the Dir En Grey review, which as you may guess I went straight to the Antic Cafe videos and put one on. Ok So next week I will doing wok experience at a Law Firm and so it will be hard to get up a review but will try putting up Aitakute, also note my Laptop is getting internet in the coming weeks so after Work Experience I can do more reviews often since I won&#8217;t need to bug my sister about the computer&#8230;Have a good weekend!!</p>
