The first track in this mix sounds like it might be a Sunahara track?

Hell yes finally some good news
Those “studio live” videos they did are amazing, I still watch them pretty often

New vid, does it have vague Naughty Boys top-notes or am I projecting?

that's pretty good - gives me 90s Big Beat vibes. very different from the previous single. I went ahead and preordered the LP, as much as I hate importing stuff I missed out on the 1st one and now it's pretty much impossible to get.
given the degree to which Leo Imai has taken over the group I've started watching some of his solo stuff - he doesn't have a consistent style, everything he does is different, occasionally he hits on something ridiculous like this uhh nu-metal song?

Oh it just occurred to me that “New Roses” is the name of a song on Neuromantic

Well uh…..that’s a hell of a reaction

I mean that pretty much just means it’s coming out in November right?

so get this, Metafive IS playing at Fuji Rock. but they're doing it without Cornelius, Towa Tei, Takahashi AND Gondo. Cornelius out for obvious reasons, Takahashi still recovering from surgery, no idea on the other two. instead it's Leo Imai, Sunahara, and two session dudes. actually very curious how that's gonna sound!!

That is fucking odd (apart from Cornelius being let go, that makes sense)

do these petitions ever accomplish anything? I remember a similar one for Denki Groove a year back...

Fuji Rock set was pretty good! seems clear that Leo Imai is the main dude now so it still felt true to the band somehow. not having the horns or Cornelius sound effects declutters their sound quite a bit which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I missed YTs backup vocals & drumming but overall pretty impressed

ok the new record finally leaked. it's quite good but kind of awkward because Leo Imai seems to be very much the main dude now. so when you hear one of the other guys singing its weird, especially since their voices are so much thinner. the songs are kind of cluttered but you don't really get the "supergroup" vibe from them. anyway, I think the plan is to transition to the 4-piece that did Fuji Rock, possibly under the name TESTSET. hopefully this record still comes out though, I'd totally buy it.
