Robin Dupuy recently updated his blog with an entry on the recent live show he performed in alongside Kiyo. The entry is short but it also contains two photos of MIYO KEN and yoshitsugu.
It has been officially announced that LAW'S is the name of the upcoming Kiyo single.
In an entry posted yesterday Kiyo revealed that KATSUJI will be playing drums on the upcoming single! :D

The Cro-Magnons NO TOKUTEN EIZOU




MONDO ROCCIA finally arrived on Monday after a few attempts to get it to me since Wednesday of last week. I've been listening to it ever since it arrived.

This song is like the musical form of crack. :D I can't get it out of my damn head! It's so simple and yet so catchy.

I love it! Initially, it didn't grasp me like the previous albums. I felt like some of the songs were missing some of the hooks that made me fall in love with their past music, but it really has its grip on me right now.


I don't have the GLYCERIN・QUEEN single yet despite wanting to buy it. I decided to wait until the album came out before I ordered it off Amazon.co.jp to save some money from the shipping since their shipping rates are pretty damn ridiculous. When I went to order the album I discovered the limited edition version of the single was out of stock, and it doesn't look like their getting new stock in either... Argh...







Dreaming of steak... That's a steak right? :D






The way HIROTO sings this song... It feels like he's about to explode. Watching him perform this is an sight to see. He's all tense. The veins on his neck and arms seem like they can't take the energy and want to pop out.


My favorite songs on the album at the moment are JUNGLE・JAMMIN', GLYCERIN・QUEEN, TETSU KABUTO, JOHNNY COOL, TOTSUZEN BURN, KOI NI OCHI TARA, and ERO KOSO SUBETE.

The album packaging is very nice as usual. The logo of their new label ariola is plastered all over the place though... :P The back of the jacket has a really nice drawing of the cromagnon chipping away at stone with a neat looking drill. He's creating the C that's on the front jacket. There is no booklet, instead there's a folded poster sheet with the lyrics printed on it.

In an entry posted two days ago Kiyo revealed the jacket for the 090731 Liquid Room DVD.
I receieved an email from CDJapan a few days ago informing me that the upcoming single will be released on 2010/01/13. There are three versions of the single planned for release. The Type A version of the single will include a DVD that features the Resident Evil + Kiyoharu Ver. of the PV. The Type B version of the single will include a DVD that features the Kiyoharu Ver. of the PV. The contents of the Type C version of the single haven't been revealed yet but it will likely feature a different coupling track.
The new single will be called LAW'S according to the various live reports I have seen from 『The 41st Birthday』.
The titles of the two DVDs Kiyo released on 『The 41st Birthday』 are 「LOUNGE 冬椿」 (LOUNGE FUYU TSUBAKI) and 「090731 Liquid Room」. I've seen info on a blog indicating that 「LOUNGE 冬椿」 contains 22 minutes of footage. It apparently features a collection of Kiyo MC from the various shows he has done and contains no music. The DVD ends with a "to be continued..." message so there will likely be another one or more of these released in the future. The 「090731 Liquid Room」 DVD contains 88 minutes of footage. The live footage is from the 7/31 PREMIUM LIVE. It features all the madrigal of decadence songs and also includes GROOVER, HIKARI, ALIEN MASKED CREATURE, and COME HOME. Both DVDs have appeared on Yahoo! JAPAN AUCTIONS since their release. Images of the 「LOUNGE 冬椿」 jacket are here and images of 「090731 Liquid Room」 are here if you want to take a look a them. I usually don't link to Japanese fan blogs because they usually don't like that lol, but someone took caps of both DVDs and I couldn't resist... There are caps from both DVDs here.
