Review by Wataru

The first track Kokyuu really flows into the second track Shinzou well. Overall, this is a very well constructed minialbum. And Homura always puts out music of the utmost quality. You can't live without this CD if you know how good Homura is!

It may seem expensive, but there are a lot of things on the dvd that every Megamasso fan can't get enough of. Plus, some very funny secret clips.

The first single under the band name Neu proved to be even better than many of the singles they have done in the past. With the new drummer Rei, the band seems to be in higher spirits than ever. The lyrics are adorable, sweet, and eloquently written. The work put into the songs really show. Anyone who doesn't buy it will have a whole in their life forever! So everyone, support this band.

Finally at long last, their release after their first full album Atelier is out! 176BIZ really puts their heart into everything they make. The songs are really well-written. The first was track was a nice SE that made me remember their days as Betty. Immediately after they move into what I think are the best two tracks in the album. The Akame song&PV they created was very expressive and relatable to darkness many people feel at times. Juusangatsu no Okurimono was my absolute favorite. It was sort of beautiful yet painful at the same time. Yuu is a great writer, and Toki's compositions become more and more refined every time. No matter which version you get, you won't be disappointed with this release nor any release from 176BIZ for that matter.

not as great as their previous single, Jikochuu Alice was, but that was pretty difficult to top. The PV for Alice Terial looked pretty low-budget much like many of their older videos looked, but the costumes were great. It was very nice seeing Yu~li like the Cheshire cat. The song was pretty catchy, but not as wonderful was as Mad Hatter Crush/M.H.Cu. It was slightly reminiscient of Mecha Usagi(Romeo), but you can listen to it over and over again without getting tired of it. The inner CD case design and post card were very nice too.

The first track, itsuwari no kokoroame is the best performance by Itsuki thus far. The second track, irodori/sai(?) sakura is very catchy. Ruli sounds egotistical in it as always. The third track, junsui naru...was better than firt version in their first single. Not so much in the instrumental, but vocally it sounded better, especially the backup vocal part

Compared with all the works this band has made in past years, this one spells out, "We're not Indies anymore". Although Shou wrote these lyrics toward himself, he isn't the stray cat he used to be, and it shows in alice nine.'s ever-changing sound. This change however doesn't change the fact that they will always continue give an awesome and powerful performance in whatever song they play.

Sono of Jeniva and support drummer of Jeniva Yuu from Masquerade(i think that's their name) show they've only been improving since the end of Jeniva. Also Karen(keyboard/piano) brings her own unique addition to the band. The second track, Kaze no Tori written by her is really beautiful. It contrasts the darker first track, alkaloid showcase(written by Sono) very well. Sono, Mika, Karen, You, and Yuu don't disappoint. If you purchase nothing else this year, make sure you get alkaloid showcase.

They are very cute, and I love how they fit my hands perfectly. I have very small hands, but these fit nice and tight. Of course, since they're gloves, they'll fit pretty well onto a lot of people.

Since the tracklisting is posted, and I couldn't even find it on there official website, I'll post here for people that are interested in what songs they put here: Virgin Snow Color Shine rapisurazuri (Lapis Luxury???) kotonohanoru (it's in katakana) Hinata Mayfish(meefisshu) no uta,rene(kanji is koi for love and e for handle) no suihou 0010 A z ancient-tree hoshifuru no hanashi I hope my kanji is correct. I am not a native speaker(that may be obvious) No time this week to watch the DVD included. Sorry, I might post again about it, if I can. I don't know if the new member Yumehito(ex soroban)played as a substitute for Ryouhei here, because I'm not familiar with Yumehito and don't recognize his playing. It might just be the 4 of them, since it says that this is their first as a 4-man band. I thought they were gonna stick with 4 ppl, but they just added Yumehito... Oh well, back to the music...It's quite different but really good! I like track2, but I love how track4 is such a...$ocial Riot!! It's not really like $OCIAL RIOT MACHINE$(why am I even talking about Gazette??), but it's harder than older Ayabie stuff so I like it. There are also some really beautiful ones along with the heavier ones

I recommend getting this version over the optical impression because [Worthless War]is a really kickarsenal song. It's like hypnotic good m(*_*)m. Aoi's performance is awesome as usual. I like the acoustic in the begginning V(^_^)m Also in[Psychedelic Heroine], Ruki sings very fast. The writing in[Regret]is good too. It's reminiscient of wakaremichi and ito somehow

I still prefer the old gazette...but this is still an extremely HAWT song. If you really want crucify sorrow, then get auditory impression but the PV makes this version better. Besides their lives you can't really see them headbang like that. I also like Kai's hairstyle* ...but the best performance I have to say comes from Uruha. When listening to [Filth in the Beauty], be sure to listen closely to Mr. Stage-Left Guitar m(*_*)m!!!

I wish I could've gotten the limited edition but it's all sold out m(-_-);m The Aqua was very beautiful and clean white and Tsuba...Toki was so cool-looking!! Tara was hot as usual* However everyone besides Toki was wearing short-shorts!! And Yuu looks kind of like Yugiri... Either way, I love their music-style. Especially Toki's unique sound and the way Tara seems to play so aggressively even though his sound is quite subtle. Setsuki's guitar compliments this well and the more I listen to Kasumi's drums, the better it seems to sound. Also, Yuu's voice is unforgettably unique (Never Crazy forever!!!) As a Panikku, Karen, and Never Crazy fan, I am very happy to listen to 176BIZ (although I preferred tsubasa and tara in PanicCH*)Yuu was also in Betty if you liked that band Finally, although many people say that Dekiai is very similar to mucc's zetsubou, the different sounds of the bands make those two songs extremely different. Tara can't play like Yukke does.(the baseline in zetsubou reminds me of koRn...)I talked a lot, but everyone support this awesome band!

The song is nice, but the movie is...not that great of a movie. It's entertaining to watch them, but the acting is ungood and the story is a bit boring. The making is fun to watch. Shou and Hiroto sing happy birthday to Nao~ and Nao was very moved. Whether you like the movie or not, as long as you like alice nine., you'll definitely enjoy this
