New album release 2/25/09!

Hey guys! CDJapan's got D's new album descriptions up:

Type A - includes DVD with music video of a new song
Type B - includes DVD with digest footage from Bara no Yakata
Regular Edition - comes with an application card (?)

They all come with trading cards, as usual. ^^ But can anyone hazard a guess as to what the application card could be for?

And new costumes ~~ !
Asagi reminds me of the evil queen in Disney's Snow white. Lovely!

That is all.

YAAAAAY FOR SPENDING MONEY I DON'T HAVE. 8DDDDDD

I think it's safe to say I'm rather psyched over this.<33

I think Avex enjoys messing with us. "Let's put out three versions of EVERYTHING AND THEIR MOM." Cuz they do it with nearly EVERYONE on their label. I'm into this artist named Katou Kazuki, and ever since he moved onto Avex, it's been nothing but three version releases. And it's quite bothersome, because most of the time if you don't buy one, you're missing out on a privilege.

And since it's being released so close to Snow White, I don't really know if I'm going to buy all three. Since I just spent an arm and a leg to get Snow White. And previous to that, I spent my entire paycheck on Versailles' new singles, getting caught in their little game of trading cards. But I won't go into that.

I probably will buy at least one version for now, and the rest later.

I think I might wait to buy ANYTHING until the financial crisis is over. The swedish crown is very low right now so everything's become crazily expensive.
I just bought Versailles Prince & Princess ( Kamijo edition ^o^ ) and it cost me a fortune for just one single! Makes me kind of mad...

^ Not to be all pessimistic or anything but by the looks of it, it might take *months* for the economy to start healing. And before that things are going to get worse. @__@ The US isn't doing to well and when we crash, we're going to take everyone else down with us to an extent. I doubt it'll be quite as bad as a lot of economists are making it out to be, but it's still going to get intense for the next few months to years. As an aside, though, the yen is gaining on the dollar and I don't know how long it will be before it'll bounce back, so I'm thinking the sooner we purchase these singles/albums as they're released, the cheaper they'll be (for the time being). That's just my reasoning, though. ^^

Needless to say, I went ahead and pre-ordered type B. I'll usually collect two versions of 3-type singles (at least) since they're generally cheaper, but I usually only go for one version of every album. We'll see if Type A has an awesome PV, though, that just might convince me to get another copy. @__@ And so long as the regular edition doesn't come with any extra songs I think I'll be good. ^^ (Here's to hoping nothing super awesome is in the other two versions I won't be getting, lol.)

the financial crisis is a problem for me too, the romanian lion is now really low, it would cost me even two times as much to buy it /._.\
I'm seriously determined to buy this album, let's just hope we'll have luck with money XD
Christmas is better when you order D-Claus's album 8D

XD I will whatever happens buy the album, not sure about Snow white.... I bought too much stuff this year... and now, christmas presents are eating my money! I always wish for CDJapan gift checks for christmas present though (but I never get one >__>)
Let's just hope som smartass comes upp with a qiuck solution soon.

I can't believe this is the first time I noticed this. "Leu" translates directly to "lion". OMG I'm so dense. @___________@ XDDD

I hope things improve drastically (soon), too. <3

But anyway...

So now that we've got almost 100% complete confirmation about the fairy tale thing, what other tales do you guys want to see on the album? This was also discussed in one of the LJ communities but we can expand upon some ideas here if you guys want to. I have a good bit of faith on whatever they decide upon, but I want to see some Beauty and the Beast thrown in there.

How deep do you think they'll go into Grimm's tales?

haha XD

As for the tales thing, it would be interesting to see a theme going on the album. On Neo culture, you could see the different influences from around the world, so this one could have fairytales as theme.

Beauty and the Beast sounds awesome, makes me think of Yami yori kurai... (and so on), when they did their take on Phantom of the Opera.
... only Asagi fails at being ugly.
I think Sleeping Beauty could be pulled off somewhat nicely too. I can see it in front om me, Asagi swooping around some sleeping blonde little Miss Caucausian. Yes, that would be lovely!
But hopefully, they''ll not only do Disney's tales. I hope they dig up some dark european fairy tales from nowhere that no one's ever heard of!

Lol, that's true XD Even if he would try hard enough, he still wouldn't be able to get ugly. Asagi, you just don't have what to do about it XD

barairo_hime wrote:some dark european fairy tales from nowhere that no one's ever heard of!

Interesting that you mention this, since I went on a link-clicking spree a few days ago and looked into a bunch of famous and not-so-famous fairy tales. Turns out that several of the more obscure tales were told to me by my mom when I was little, only they had a Romanian, rather than German, flair to them. Nevertheless it was exciting to stumble upon them by sheer happenstance.

Lol, I'd like to see him wear a proper cape one of these days. X)

New album's called "Genetic world."

Type A comes with the PV for Nocturnal. Type B comes with the off shoot and Bara no Yakata highlights. And of course type C comes with just the album.

Tracklist:
1.「Nocturnal」
2.「Colosseo」
3.「BIRTH」
4.「Arabesque」
5.「闇の国のアリス」
6.「背徳の蜜は苦よもぎのように」 "Haitoku no mitsu wa ku yomogi no you ni" Corruption's honey like suffering sagebrush(?)
7.「狐塚」 "Kitsunedzuka" Fox mound(?)
8.「メテオ～夢寐の刻～」 "Meteo~mubi no (kiza or koku)~" Meteor~Carving(?) of dreaming~
9.「Hydrograph」
10.「Snow White」
11.「楽園」 "Rakuen" Paradise

Words with (?) I'm not 100% sure on because there were different meanings or readings.

EDIT: I actually think it's something like "Meteor~Time of dreaming~"

Ooh! Thank you :3 <33

Hm... now I really have the urge to preorder also the type A and B *has only regular version* XDD But I think that would break me now XD Well I will wait and see

I think I'm also going to get both types A and B. But... D:

Oh man oh man this may just be a little more awesome than ~Neo Culture~. I'm *dying* to see what their outfits are going to look like for Nocturnal (lol how appropriate for a band like D.)

Thanks for the information!

the name for track 6. really draws me in and I am dying to listen to it. It seems to me that judging by the titles of these tracks I have a hunch this CD is based off the continuation of Neo Culture which was about cultures of the old world brought upon the new one. I feel that this new CD is more about the religions or beliefs of the people whom established a life there repeating history from the old earth if you read the different languages or translations of each song. Just a hunch of course. You can always rely on Asagi to have timelines as well as a lengthy background/story to each composition. (I hope that made sense)

On a random note. I'm up for writing Avex a hate letter in sticky note form due to the fact I now wouldnt be able to afford real paper and tell them to make D one nice big happy cd instead of 3 per single/cd/dvd. That or leave suicide/death threats : D ............ no jk

But... they had multiple releases when they were indies, too, right? At least two for each single, and Neo Culture and the Name of the Rose had three types as well.

Indeed, but they are releasing so much at one time and then releasing a vast amount of merchandise that Avex is making. Just saying compared to before, we have spent more now in a short amount of time. Nothing wrong with 2 types of versions for cd's. but 3 for every single is getting a bit old and ridiculous...but whatever helps D get publicized is all that matters. Avex is wonderful for them, just make us broke haha.

Thanks Synthie for the info ^^
