Speaking of wondering what concept Goshi will come up with next (see previous post)... this song, which was distributed for free at a particular live earlier this year, sort of represents the concept that will define their new FULL ALBUM coming out in September. The song is Gyoushounin no Kaiga, or "the peddler's painting," and the album's title ( Read more... )

Moving on, here's the coupling track from Suicide Ali's January single, and just as... unique, and stuff, as the title track - Sequential Soda. I love the title as much as anything. :B And yeah, as with most of this band's concept singles, the first track flows into this one so that both songs tell one collective story. Same with Stitch DoLL/ ( Read more... )

Um... *swipes dust off journal* Yeah, my poor Taiji sites have been completely neglected for the past... what, year? Sigh. Real life... never thought I'd be in a position to complain about that e_e;; *ducks ( Read more... )

And secondly, the title track - Donor of lie. This one was a bit more inundated with Goshi's typical bizarre, ambiguous lyrical genius than Tsumetai Kage... though still less so than many of their older songs. Ahem ( Read more... )

It goes a little something like this (this is not a direct translation, just a summary of a summary ( Read more... )

FINALLY, right? It's Suicide Ali's most recently released single, from JANUARY! Hey, at least I still got it done two months before their next single comes out... *kicked across the country ( Read more... )

Yes, more Suicide Ali! This time I present their contribution to the compilation released by Starwave Records last month, which contains a previously unreleased track by each artist under that label. It's called Ichido Kiri no Wakaremichi, and it's a relatively simple, almost ballad-like song compared to the majority of Suicide Ali's releases. The ( Read more... )

...Well, I tried. x_x; Here is the coupling track from Suicide Ali's new maxi single - Traitor. Um. Take this translation very loosely, folks. *eye twitch ( Read more... )

So yeah. Suicide Ali released a new maxi single last month. It's called Stitch DoLL.

AND IT'S FRICKING AMAZING OMG YOU GUYS.

*cough* What?

Seriously, though, I am convinced that Stitch DoLL is one of the most epic tracks they've released to date. Musically it's a very different sort of dark, deep mood compared to their previous releases, but it ( Read more... )
