Rentrer en Soi

[Pink Usagi Chan]

That's great that they're going to be in some magazines. They seem to rarely be in magazines, I only have read one interview with them in it. Those are my favorite magazines too. yay, hahah.

[pinkkillerkisou]

The limited edition dvd will have the following:

PROTOPLASM PV
Karasu Iro no Taiji PV
Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku PV

Ahhh... I can't wait! 16 days! :silly:

[*Satsuki*]

^^ cool so thats what will be in dvd then ^-^just as everyone thought once again RES refuses to give us a live dvd or clips oh wells I shall still enjoy it!!new album yay!

[Kinsao]

The limited edition dvd will have the following:
PROTOPLASM PV
Karasu Iro no Taiji PV
Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku PV
Ahhh... I can't wait! 16 days! :silly:
Oh God... ~gets overcome with insatiable craving~
I really cannot afford that DVD! :bawling:
[insert ear-splitting scream of infuriation here]

[pinkkillerkisou]

haha... I had a feeling they wouldn't put a live clip. Satsuki kept talking about live videos though. Maybe Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku PV is a collage of live clips. :sick: I honestly think they will have a live dvd of this first nationwide tour they are starting next month. I just have a really intense feeling they will. Like it's inevitable... haha. I hope I'm right!!! I actually thought there would be a DEAD believe ME PV... or Giragira since it was the clip on the ohp... but I guess not... I want to hear more songs from this cd... :silly:

Kinsao, I pity you... it's selling out everywhere... I want to buy it for you... if only I had the money. :(

[Riyko]

*sighs* to be honest I hope the 16 days before the cd comes out go's by really really slowly.... I want the cd to come out, but i just want it to go by slowly XD not to be mean to the fans who have been waiting for it.

[pinkkillerkisou]

why on freaking mother earth would you bloody want that?! :shock: :eek:

I mean sure the anticipation makes it that much sweeter, and I admit to not wanting it to come out too soon before, but that as cause I didn't put money in my bank account... now I have and and I want to bend time to my will and make today the 31st, haha! *concentrates really hard and tries to make it happen* XD

My 1st press Yurikago finally arrived at the akibado offices... do the sellers hand deliver the stuff? I swear that took like a month! LOL. I sent in the shipping request and it said it could take some time... oh joy... I'll probly get the new album before I get it... HAHA!

[Riyko]

Because on June 30th my dad will be leaving for 2 years because of his job and American Airlines won't help pay to transfer the rest of the family with him. Their getting rid of all the ramp workers at the station here in Utah...

With Akibado they say it can take 7-21 days to get the item from the seller and then it can take another 7-21 days before they get a chance to ship it out to you.

[Pink Usagi Chan]

I can't wait for the album to get released, but I'm trying not to get too hyped up about it, because I'm the kind of person to get way too excited for something and set my expectations too high. Then when I buy it I'm not as excited. Although, this is my first RES album, I don't really know what to expect.

Two years sounds like a long time. But before you know it, you glance at the calender and two years have gone by! XD Well, that's how I feel... Sometimes it's nice to have the days go by s..l..o..w..l..y.

As for that Akibado thing...precisely why I hate ordering online. XD Maybe you can try a ordering from different place?

I'm getting pretty scared about that limited edition cd. O__O It's getting sold out? I swear the day it's released I'm running out and buying it! I would go jump into the bay if I could'nt buy it. Okay, maybe that's a bit drastic...

i'm expecting heavier stuff that sounds like the new singles, which should be interesting

[Kinsao]

I think their stuff on Sphire-Croid was a bit heavier than Astre and Kein, so I'm kind of hoping they move in that direction with the new album too. Although only if they do it in a good way. If that makes any sense. Which I'm sure they will... XD

Aww Riyko, I'm sorry, that sucks. T_T But it's true that time does go faster than you think it will...

[one80]

Everybody check the OHP!!!! Theres a new sample up of "Strawberry Oblaat!" :-)
It sounds a lot better than the old version...well from the little I can hear. ^^


So this is the 2nd sample they've put up right? Just wanna make sure I haven't missed anything lol...The wait is far too long =_=

[Riyko]

It's ok the 2 years will go by fast, i'm going away for college for 2 years so when I come back he'll be back ^_^

I can't find the clip anywhere and i've searched everywhere on the website :(

[one80]

I can't find the clip anywhere and i've searched everywhere on the website :(

Go to the discrography section. "Strawberry Oblaat" should be highlighted.

[pinkkillerkisou]

yea it's only the second clip they've posted. I heard it yesterday... soooo good! :zombie: XD I want to hear more... it sounds like a good remake so far. I'm impressed. I think Satsuki should've sung deeper and more... err... growling-ish... *can't think of better word* though... it would match the guitars nicely... haha.

You can still hear Giragira even thought there is no link. :giggle: It wasn't deleted from the directory.

http://www.rentrerensoi.com/img/sityou_img/giragira.html

These clips are such a tease... so short... ahhhh... lol. I wonder if there are more clips just no links... hmm. XD *does some research*

EDIT: well what do you know! There is! XD I only found one though... the song JUDE. It sounds so good... ahhhhh... now I've only made my self more anxious to hear this cd.

http://www.rentrerensoi.com/img/sityou_img/jude.html

[one80]

^ ahahahaha. sneaky aren't we? :D lol just kidding...

Jude sounds nice too. The guitars in all the new songs sound much more "full" and "deeper" then their previous works!

and its only the 17th...*sigh*

[PockyMonster]

So, I'm a new fan to Rentrer En Soi, I just got two songs from them, yesterday.

I absolutely love Karasu Iro No Taiji. Satsuki's voice makes me melt everytime he goes up way high, it's amazing.

Are they a new-ish band? 'Cause they don't seem all that popular/known, yet..

[sunsweet]

^ They're not new, they formed in 2001. They're not particularly popular, but I think they have gained popularity with their more recent releases. Hopefully with the new album, and the direction the band is changing musically, they'll gain more popularity because they definitely deserve it.

I think they formed in 2001, so they're not really new, but relative to some other bands, they are.

Since you're new, I'd reccomend to you their first album Sphire Croid and their single, Mizu Yume Miru Chouchou. If you like what you've heard so far, you should love these! ^^

[sunsweet]

Yep, Sphire Croid was the first thing I heard of theirs, and it's what made me want to hear more. I, too, can't wait for the new album!

i agree with what you said about their popularity
it seems like suddenly they're becoming popular
rather strange considering they aint' really doing too much (to suddenly boost their popularity)

[pinkkillerkisou]

Not much?! :shock:

they've recorded 2 singles and an album in 6months time, done numerous concerts and one-mans, and are starting their first nation-wide tour... and all without the help of a producer. I'd say they've done a hell of alot... and this is all in only the first half of the year!

I wouldn't say they've suddenly grown popular. 2004 seemed to be a big year for them too... not so much last year except with old fans. This year they've seemed to gain a lot of new fans

i thought their producer is the vocal from ex-Baiser....yurasaki or something.

what i meant by not doing much was release-wise. the 2 singles were pretty recent and afterall, the new album isn't released yet. but i guess they did hold alot of concerts. :relief:

[PockyMonster]

Alright, thanks a bunch you guys.

I'll definetely check that album and single out sometime soon. ^^

Yukari... yea they dropped him... haha. I'm not sure when but he hasn't produced anything since Astre and Kein.

Ahh... I see. Well I don't live in Japan so I don't know how well advertised they are. There seems to be alot of hype about them on the internet though.

I just find it highly disappointing though that there is a lot of new fans emerging and yet the first press of the new single only just sold out like 2 or 3 days ago. In just a couple hours after it surfaced on the internet on one site it was downloaded 260 times. That makes me sad. But the limited edition of the new album is selling out fast so maybe people just waited after finding out it was on the album. How sad even still.

[sunsweet]

At least it sold out, though, many bands don't get that.

The internet is double-edged, bands are both promoted and exploited. 'Tis kind of sad, but it's the way things are...

they all looked so bored in that interview :okashii:

[*Satsuki*]

yea >_> I agree so much for advertising their album not very energetic.. btw not trying be mean or anything but I noticed satsuki looks bit like kaoru the hair maybe? lol
the sound clips sounded okay so far ^^ hope album's good!

[pinkkillerkisou]

haha... they do look bored. I think Shun fell asleep. LOL! Takumi never even laughed. I'm sure they are tired.

The PVs look so good... I can't wait to get my DVD! ...and man Satsuki is so handsome!! I still can't get over it even now. In my heart he's still a bouncy twirly little angel to me... haha.

[Riyko]

I watched the Interview and all of them do seem so bored and unintrested in the interview itself.

side note >_< faster internet means I keep having to sign in to the site about a million times just to post 1 message XD

[Kinsao]

Thank you loads for the links, PK! :thankyou: :-)

[one80]

thanks for the links PK.

I actually expected more from the Protoplasm PV, but I still like it. These days are going by very slowly lol...

[Riyko]

So my mom was watching the interview with me and she just blurts out and says the guy in the grey suit is cute as well as satsuki. She remembers his name but gets mika and ryo mixed up all the time :-) ok enough of my useless information

[daki]

yea >_> I agree so much for advertising their album not very energetic.. btw not trying be mean or anything but I noticed satsuki looks bit like kaoru the hair maybe? lol
the sound clips sounded okay so far ^^ hope album's good!
on a side note, i didn't expect satuski's voice to be so low, given this is the first time i hear them speak normally.

[pinkkillerkisou]

ah yes I thought the very same thing when the were on Apple FM for Mizu yume miru chouchou... that's when I first heard their speaking voices. I thought his voice would be more androgenous or even feminine. >_<;

And speaking of Apple FM they are gonna be on it on the 23rd for an hour. That means more songs! I just hope they are a little more peppy for this radio show... but damn that's gonna be 7-8 am my time... what to do... stay up all night or wake up early... decisions decisions... lol

Also btw Shun said the albums are done printing so all that's left is to release it... come on end of the month! chugga chugga chugga chugga woo woo! you can to it! :cheer: please don't ask XD

And another thing... tired of me yet? XD I have the videos I posted earlier from BARKS if anyone wants them uploaded

[daki]

Yukari... yea they dropped him... haha. I'm not sure when but he hasn't produced anything since Astre and Kein.

maybe they dropped him due to their change in style. their previous work did sound alot like Baiser, especially early ones like Vision of You. and they somewhat had a taste of Luna Sea in Sphire Croid. now they seem like they're gonna sound like a less heavy dir en grey :souka: :souka:

What's Apple FM? Where do you find it at? XD I used to have a place where you could "borrow" the files and have them on your computer, but I don't remember the name of the site :souka:

[one80]

now they seem like they're gonna sound like a less heavy dir en grey :souka: :souka:

Lets hope that isn't going to be the case with this new album...I like Dir en Grey, but i've always preferred Rentrer en Soi.

[Kisetsu]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the thread. ^^;;; Hi hi. I've been looking everywhere for a place where I can share my love of RES, and this is the most active and nicest place that I found, so I hope you all don't mind me joining. ^^

Ahh, I can't wait for their new ablum! I pre-ordered the limited edition the day I was able to. I really really can't wait! It seems that their sound of music is going in a new direction, but I'm still loving it! =D

[one80]

^ Welcome :)

Yeah this is the only active ReS hangout I know of as well. I tried to start a ReS thread elsewhere, but it turned out I was their only fan..haha. Its really surprising that a VK band as talented as them doesn't get enough attention, especially when you consider the amount VK bullsh!t out there...


I ordered my copy earlier this month, and I grow more and more anxious everyday. I wonder if i'll be able to abstain from downloading the album if it gets leaked; my copy might not arrive for 2 weeks after the release...:(

nice avatar and sig btw ^^

[Riyko]

Welcome New Person ^_^

I can't wait to get their album either, mine should arrive in 3-8 days.

Also I finally got the email from akibado saying that they sent my items out and i'll be getting them soon.

[Kinsao]

Hello and welcome! ^^ :hey:
Indeed and RES are incredibly good! :happy:
I actually haven't preordered the album, even though I really want it :( I didn't have enough money yet, I have to wait until pay day before I can order it. :bawling:

[Kisetsu]

Thanks for all the nice welcomes everyone! ^^
I started a RES thread somewhere... only me and three close friends ever post on it though. ><
I'm not sure when I'm supposed to get my copy. I ordered it through yesasia... and I can't remember what kinda of shipping I got. Hopefully not too long, it's really hard to wait for your copy of something to come in the mail AFTER it's been released when you've pre-ordered it before.

[pinkkillerkisou]

Apple FM is an internet radio program. they gave a link on the site. I'm not sure what time it would be for everyone else. you'll have to check time differences. More info is on in the news section if you can be bothered to check. XD

Back to the Dir en grey thing... it never ends. I guess I will never see why so many people make the association -_-; But the days are going by a little faster now don't you think? I wonder if it will take as long as Karasu did to surface... haha. I got EMS which arrives 3-5 days after it ships... hopefully... lol.

Welcome to our humble abode, Kisetsu! XDDD It's always nice to see new members... welcome to the family... haha.

[Kisetsu]

An internet radio program that RES will be on? Oh, I want to hear it! Hopefully I can figure out the correct time difference and listen! ^^

And thank you so much for the warm welcome! ^^

Well, I got kinda bored today, and I'm a little Photoshop obsessed. ^^;;; So, I made a Satsuki wallpaper (because he's so pretty! ToT And I've made too many Shun wallpapers as it is. =X) And since it's hard to find RES wallpapers, I thought I'd share mine. ^^ It's no wonderful work of art, but I try.

Satsuki Wallpaper (http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/9353/satsukiwallpaper7am.jpg)

[Riyko]

Ah alright thank you PKK that helps me out alot :-). It'll probably be around 5am my time.

[Kinsao]

That's a lovely Satsuki wallpaper! :cool:

Blehhh... I don't see the Dir en grey connection other than very tenuously. People can have no imagination sometimes... :okashii:

About the Apple FM show... what time is that on, Japan time? Then I can figure out what it would be GMT... (if it's 7-8 am where you are, PK, it'll probably be the middle of the night for me, as you're ahead of them and we're behind them... but actually that's good for me... if they're on at like midnight GMT or something... that would work out nicely... assuming I can work out how to listen, that is... ><)

[pinkkillerkisou]

http://www.guruguru.co.jp/other/sound/renrer0523.mp3

For those who missed the radio program, like me, there is the interview part. And I lied... it was 9-10 am my time... haha oops... I hate my computer so much... I said up all night aside from the hour and a half nap I took to hold me over and when the time came and I was all "AHHHH it's time... fghshhsdfdjkomfg" my computer didn't want to connect to the program... I was so looking forward to hearing new songs. T____T I'll let you know if I find someone who recorded the whole thing.

The days are going by so quickly now don't you think... just 6 days!

[Riyko]

I will download that later on tonight when I get back from my concert.

Anyways, I finally got my magazines and my first press of Yurikago today :-)

[Pink Usagi Chan]

I completely forgot all about the radio program thingie... Oops.

[ijiwaru]

Hello!! This is kind of random as I don't really post on here a lot...anyways..I'm a really big fan of RES (can't wait for new album!! samples sound soo so good) but...it's soo incredibly difficult to find live clips of them TT___TT it makes me sad...because the one clip that i did see was so incredibly awesome :(

I was just wondering...the DVD that comes with the limited edition will be PV clips won't it? Just I was browsing through Satsuki's blog and he said that he watched a live video and I got all excited TT___TT but then I suppose he could just be referring to a home made one...oh well...not really making much sense..I wish they would release a live dvd soon >__<;;

And the whole Dir en grey thing...I really don't see the connection either <__< I'm a big fan of Dir too but...to me...RES and Dir sound nothing alike...except that they're both rock bands and they both sing in japanese..they are both excellent bands in different ways ^^

[pinkkillerkisou]

welcome Ijiwaru! :flower:

Well the only live video clip there is is wither LIVE. There's an mp3 of into the sky live (but it sounds exactly like the regular version so... o_O) and then there's that weird 20050225 track on the Karasuiro no Taiji single.

The dvd is gonna be PVs yes but maybe Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku PV will be live clips... or maybe not XD Yes... Satsuki was making me so anxious talking about live videos... haha. I hope they will make a live dvd of all their touring this year!

[ijiwaru]

Me too!! Especially because it was their first nationwide tour :-) but still....PVs are still good xD
Thanks for the welcome ^^ and....5 days to go : D

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Wilkommen Ijiwaru! (uh, I think that's welcome in German...I'm not particularly sure why I typed that in german..). It's good to see another ReS fan...those are few and far in between online, it seems.

I seriously thought that this week was the 31st of May last week, but then I checked the calender. And I originally thought the single released last month was being released a week before the cd. I can't believe I keep messing the months up. I think I'm losing my mind. XD

I'm so happy that they've made some pvs for the songs. I wonder what the Protoplasm one will be like... maybe something like a church graveyard, because that's what I think of when I hear the bells at the beginning. But I'm probably wrong about that..


I was planning on buying the cd on wednesday, but I don't know how I'm going to go about doing that, seeing as I have a job to do after school, and class to attend in the evening. But I really want to buy that special edition one. Although, I seriously think I'm the only person who purchases vk/rock cds in this one cd store. XD

[pinkkillerkisou]

They already released PROTOPLASM PV. Not really churchy but very fitting for the song nonetheless... and Satsuki is so gorgeous in it! *o*

http://www.barks.jp/watch/?id=1000014068

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Ah, so it's already released. Darn, I'm always late on these things. I'm going to watch it when I buy my copy of the cd, because...well, I always do that, I don't really know why. To me, it makes it kind of special.

Well, actually I did click on the link, and watched about 5 seconds. XD Are those black lace gloves?

[ijiwaru]

yup that would be black lace gloves xDD

mmm...I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some pretty recent RES pics? I've got some cure ones from this year and the one's from June Fool's Mate but that's all I've found so far...are there any more? Any help greatly appreciated ^__^

[pinkkillerkisou]

I love those gloves from the moment I saw them... I've searched high and low for a place to buy those gloves or ones very similar... the results were most disappointing... :okashii: :bluush:

June Shoxx and June Cure... have you seen those? :?

Oh and Riyko... you think it's possible to hit us up with some scans? :silly:

[ijiwaru]

hmm..i'm not too sure..is june shoxx this one? http://i4.tinypic.com/10py3xv.jpg and is june cure this one? http://i4.tinypic.com/10py4pu.jpg I'm not too sure >__<;; I wish there were pics of ReS, but it seems that they're in quite a lot of magazines at the moment :-)

[pinkkillerkisou]

That's June Shoxx I think... I have to check... ^^;;; That's definitely June Cure... yes... I want that magazine so bad... *melts into puddle of incoherent goo* Takumi looks so funny in it and when I look at Satsuki all I can say is something like --> fsghsfhsfhshfgsdhghsdgfhsgdfhsdf......fsh...fshdgg ...fufufufu...*pant*_^_ <--dead

XDDDDDDD

[Kinsao]

God Ijiwaru........................................... .............................. X____X

[ijiwaru]

Haha yess I checked my magazine again and...yes...it is June Cure ^^;; and ehehehe do I love that magazine : ) -stares at satsuki- and I can't be too sure from the lighting...but it definitely looks like he's -gasp shock- SHIRTLESS!! -drools- I can put up other scans if you want? But it sounds like you already have them anyway :p

[Pink Usagi Chan]

I know that I have the Shoxx one, but I don't have the Cure one...and suddenly I have the urge to go out and buy it. ReS seems to be appearing in more magazines lately. Maybe their popularity is rising.

[Riyko]

I love those gloves from the moment I saw them... I've searched high and low for a place to buy those gloves or ones very similar... the results were most disappointing... :okashii: :bluush:
June Shoxx and June Cure... have you seen those? :?
Oh and Riyko... you think it's possible to hit us up with some scans? :silly:
Sure I can do that just tell me what you'd like scanned and I'll scan it or i'll find it and post it up here for you? :-)

[pinkkillerkisou]

Which magazine is it? I think I have scans from it. :? I guess just Yurikago... and did yours come with the mini-photobooklet or not? Mine is supposed too... I'll find out soon... I just paid the rest of my fees for it. But god knows how long it'll take to ship. akibado is slooooooooow. XD In the end it cost me $62... still less then the second press which was $75... and then the new albums is gonna be like $80... I think I solved the mystery as to where my money evaporates... XD

[Riyko]

I got the August 2005 Cure with Phantasmagoria X Rentrer en Soi on the cover of it. I'll try to scan the mini photobook that came with my copy of Yurikago, but the book is really stiff, so if the scans don't come out very well that's why.

Don't worry my money dissapears from the same exact things damn jrockers with their cute looks causing us to spend all of our money on their music and magazines :okashii:

[chinyee]

alo!! another fan of Rentrer En Soi here...introduced to me by a friend...so far, I've just heard their Secret Strawberry Garden and songs from Yurikago...love their style here..NICE!!! Couldn't wait for their other songs!!!

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Welcome, chinyee! :wave:

I can't really recommend much, I only own Protoplasm, and that's a great single in my opinion. :cool: Haah, you've heard more ReS than I have...

[one80]

Welcome Chinyee, I'd reccomend their first album, Sphire Croid (as always lol); great album. Also, Be on the lookout for their new self titled album which will be released in only 3 days!!!!!!! :)

On a side note, everyone here must female? (judging from the response to those Satsuki pics). LOL, I may be the only male ReS fan in existence haha...:blush:

[sunsweet]

There may be other male ReS fans, lurking around here ... but when pictures that beautiful are posted, it's hard not to get a lot of responses from the female fans. It's not our fault, blame the sexiness of Satsuki ... lol.

[pinkkillerkisou]

oh jeez one80... I always thought you were a girl... so sorry :sorry: No, no... I've met 3 male RES fans before 4 counting you... unless you were one of them under another name... or all of them... :D

Two more days... I can hardly wait! :silly: I decided last night I'm gonna wait till they arrive to listen to them so it'll be more special... it's gonna be quite a feat... I have never done that with RES yet... my impatience pains me too much... we'll see how that goes. XD

Two more days... I can hardly wait! :silly: I decided last night I'm gonna wait till they arrive to listen to them so it'll be more special... it's gonna be quite a feat... I have never done that with RES yet... my impatience pains me too much... we'll see how that goes. XD
well i''m male too.
let's see if RES meet my expectations in 2 days :-)

[Kisetsu]

Oh, I have a friend who's male and he's a big RES fan. He actually introduced me to the band, and he's more obsessed with Satsuki than any girl I know. =O

I'm also going to try and wait for my copy of the album to come to listen to it. Though, I tried to do that with the Protoplasm single.... but I ended up downloading it 3 days before it came in the mail. =( I was rather ashamed of myself. But I'll try hard this time not to give in!!!!

[pinkkillerkisou]

it's hard to do... but then I think of all the stuff I've gotten that I haven't heard/watched before. I think how exciting it was tracking the package like crazy and itching with excitement waiting for it's arrival. And then there's the day it's supposed to arrive. Everything sounds like a thump in the mailbox or a mail truck infront my house. Then there's that feeling to finally have it in my hands... and then how I hug the box and rip it open to find my little treasures inside and I kiss the item(s) and unwrap it in .25 seconds and I'm freaking out cause the cd/dvd player is taking longer then I'd like to load... and then how I can wipe a ridiculous half shocked half smiling stupidly expression off my face the whole time it's playing while mumbling indeterminable sounds and "oh man" over and over again. What can I say? It's so much specialer this way. I'd like to have that joyous experience with RES... XDDDDDDDDDD

please tell me I'm not the only one who loves her jrock merchandise that much. >____>

[Pink Usagi Chan]

You aren't. I know I am guilty of similar habits..

And other things. I get really paranoid about dents in the pages of my j-rock magazines, so I make sure they are all tidy and stacked in a neat pile. I kind of freaked out about it before. <.<'' My mother almost squished a j-rock magazine of mine with her dumb purse, and I was like, "NOOOO!" and quickly dove to rescue my magazine. Now my mother really thinks something's wrong with me. But that's only me.

It is a special feeling though, when you haven't heard a new album before you buy it. I always feel so...happy when I get a new album. It's a special feeling, to watch or listen to new music in your own home for the first time. So don't give in! Be strong!


I tried to find a copy of the Cure magazine with that Satsuki pic in it, but they'd already put out next months issue. Darn. So much j-rock, so little time to buy it..

[one80]

Well, I'm gonna try to wait til my copy arrives too. I'm probably gonna order some more stuff soon, so maybe that'll take my mind off of it.


btw: has anyone here ever ordered from HMV? I just wanna know how reliable they are.

[daki]

jrock wise i kind of just buy CDs and leave out all the other stuff like magazines, merchanidse, what not, cost too much, and i'm into it because i like the music more than the other frills.
but i try to keep my CDs in good shape, including the booklet, case, and the disc itself.

I have ordered from HMV before. ^^ That's where I bought Cinema Cradle and they are very reliable. A week or so after buying it, they sent it out and it arrived really fast.

They're just... so expensive. x.x

[pinkkillerkisou]

oops... didn't see you there chinyee... I was too baffled by the presence of males in the RES thread... XD Welcome to the forums. ^___^

@daki: I only get cds and dvds really... like you I find it more worthwhile to get them since i'm not made of money, (T_T) but I've bought a few other things like couple flyers of RES to put on my wall. I'm gonna buy the ARTISTIC in BLACK 7 photo collection of Satsuki and Kisaki whenever the freak it comes out. Oh, and I am the same... I take better care of my cds/dvds then I do of myself... HAHA

well my X Japan collection is set and I'm a few a way from completing my dir en grey collection. i'm more a fan of CDs than live videos, i found myself not watching them too much.. gonna stock up on CDs when i go to japan in a month..of cuz including RES..it's just alot cheaper at used CD stores so i'm gonna buy quite a few. i listen to too many bands and sometimes i only like a few songs of them, so i don't buy everything i listen to..plus, the money issue :okashii:

[Pink Usagi Chan]

The new album and dvd first press limited edition is still available on http://global.yesasia.com/en/Search/SearchResult.aspx, for those that wanted to buy the limited edition album but were too late on other sites.

I'm the same. CDs only. It would be pretty wierd for a guy to buy a few magazines...just to see another guy. LOL!

oops... didn't see you there chinyee... I was too baffled by the presence of males in the RES thread... XD Welcome to the forums. ^___^
males can like ReS too!!!! :okashii: J/K

Actually, ReS was one of the first Japanese bands I got into. I'd heard their Wither single first, and not too soon after, I found out they were a VK band. Today, they're still one of my favorite Japanese bands. :-)

I have ordered from HMV before. ^^ That's where I bought Cinema Cradle and they are very reliable. A week or so after buying it, they sent it out and it arrived really fast.

Thanks for the info! Shipping is pretty expensive there, but they have a few items I can't find anywhere else.

don't go hmv unless you have to, they charge hell lots for shipping, esp if u're far away from japan.
try www.yesasia.com (http://www.yesasia.com), they give free shipping worldwide for i think purchases over $39 US. i bought from the a few times and they're great and fast, their indies/v kei collection could be limited, but they carry alot of major stuff so give it a try.

[one80]

^ I've ordered from Yesasia 4 times already :D. Rentrer en Soi's new album was my 4th. Thanks anyways.

The problem is, if I order from Yesasia, the items I want will probably take over a month, and i'm very impatient lol. But if I order at HMV, my stuff will arive in about a week...though the shipping will cost 3200 yen! xD Plus, Yesasia doesn't have some of the stuff I'm looking for (although I have asked the staff to source 3 items for me, 2 of which were successful)

ya, as i've said, they carry more for major artists, after all they ain't specialized on indies music, but they've a huge collection if u want some major stuff. but u know, for 3200 you can buy another album :blush:

[Kisetsu]

You know, this is my first time ordering from Yesasia... I ordered the new RES album from them. They've kinda disappointed me. =( They said they'd ship it out the day the album is released, but I got an e-mail this morning saying they can't ship it out until a WEEK later. T_____T This made me very sad.

I got that too! TT___TT it's never happened to me before but...I'm a bit disappointed this time :( I pre-ordered it and it's still not shipping out until june 11..let alone waiting for it to actually arrive here...sigh ;;____;;

yeah, I know. the shipping sucks @ss, but i'll just have to chalk it up. easy
come, easy go :(


EDIT: WOW! The limited edition version of the new album is already "temporarily out of stock" at yeasasia! There must be a lot more ReS fans than we think. 0.0
Plus it says it won't be released until the 7th!!!! =_=

All I know is, I'd better recieve my copy!!!!

[Sae13th]

Hellooooo My names Sae and Im new :-) I jsut happened to find this thread so I thought Id join since I'm a big fan of Res! Been a fan since.. not sure, but woah I love this band to bits! I actually only joined this forumn for this thread *ahem* bahaha ahh.. anyways nice to meet you all ^^ Ohh and the latest Res Album out today! (Well its 31st here where I live hehe) I cant wait to have a listen to it! :cool:

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Welcome, Sae13th! :wave:


Well, today I bought the new album. It's great. :cool: I can't compare it to their other releases, since this is the first cd of theirs I bought. I'll let a more "experienced" ReS fan review it. But, from what samples I've heard from their older albums, this one definately has more loud guitars, and sounds like heavier rock. I can't really pick out a 'favorite song' at the moment because I liked all the songs I've heard so far.

The two pvs are really cool too. :cool: They're very similar stylistically. The camera has a fascination with Satsuki's gloves in the protoplasm pv. XD There is also a live performance, makes me want to see them live some day.

Satsuki can sing HIGH, for both men and women's ranges. I think the highest note I've heard him hit is a high F sharp.

[Kinsao]

Oooooo! :silly: I haven't got mine yet but from your description I'm really looking forward to it... even more than already... if that's possible! XD

Aww ~pats people with late shipping~

Welcome Sae13th! And anyone else who is new since I was last in this thread! :hey:

I take good care of my CDs, but I also have never bought a magazine. Not that I haven't been tempted, but I much rather spend my money on CDs. :-)

i'll get my copy in japan about a month later

[*Satsuki*]

there's a live performance ?! I knew it ^o^ can't wait to get mine!!!

[Riyko]

I preordered mine from cdjapan a while back and i'm still waiting for an email telling me they've sent my copy out. I sure hope it's soon though :-)

[one80]

I just recieved an invoice from Yesasia and my copy shipped out today. I guess it'll arrive in a week or 2...I *should* be able to wait to listen to it.

I thought it wasn't gonna ship until the 7th! :relief:

ahh lucky >__<;; but I guess you must have pre-ordered yours ages ago right? Ahh I'm so glad there's a live performance on there though!!!! :O :O if anyone knows...what song is it?
Arghh too long to waaiitt TT____TT

[one80]

^ I ordered mine on the 11th of May. I did get an e-mail saying that the expected ship out date was June 5th, but I guess I got lucky.

Hopefully, they'll send your copy off soon too. ^^

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Well, I'm pretty sure it's footage from a life performance, but the song sounds 'recorded' where they've pasted it over the actual life performance sound. :? I'll have to go watch it again to make sure...

Gah, and the camera jumps angles so quickly! :mad: People who get seizures, beware! There's no time to rest your eyes on one thing.

[Sae13th]

Thankyou Pink Usagi Chan and Kisano :-) Some of you are lucky! I havnt got my copy yet, it will take a while since I asked my dad to buy it for me in Japan, since he lives there. Its so expensive buying things online.. I wish I could go to one of Res's lives! I hope they have a show or two sometime next year since I'm going to go to Japan then! I wonder if they would go to America to tour?? I think they would soon enough, But I dont even live in America :( NO WAY would they ever come to New Zealand :( Hmmm from what I've heard, Satukis voice sounds much more deeper this time round. What do you guys think? I wouldnt really know until I hear the rest of the stuff I guess!

[*Satsuki*]

^^ just got a email my cd's been shipped ee maybe I get this week!!

[ijiwaru]

Awww I feel for you Sae :( No band is ever going to come to Australia or New Zealand because like..."who cares....Australia? Isn't that some hole with kangaroos? Oh yeah I've heard of New Zealand...they have sheep there don't they?" :okashii:
Sigh...I'm so bitter...but it's true...Aus and NZ are soo far away from anything T__T anyways...I agree that Satsuki's voice sounds deeper from the samples that I've heard...I like it :-)
@Pink Usagi Chan: Thanks for the info about the live footage : D it's kind of sad that it sounds recorded though : ( but ah well...I guess it's better than nothing ^__^

[pinkkillerkisou]

Welcome to jref, Sae! This thread is the only reason I stay here... hahaha.

Gah, and the camera jumps angles so quickly! People who get seizures, beware! There's no time to rest your eyes on one thing.

well there you have it! you see... RES hasn't changed much at all. ^_^everyone worried for nothing. they still use the same cameraman from Cinema Cradle. I guess balance is restored among the people of Sphire-Croid. The hand of crock saved us afterall! XDD (for anyone who doesnt get that or doesnt have the actual cd... under the cd tray of the Sphire-Croid album it says "Will the hand of crock save all people from their sins in Sphire-Croid?" hahaha... maybe they meant... clock? I wonder if jrockers beat themselves up over their engrish later on when they realize the mistakes :? :D)

I got confirmation mine shipped yesterday. I can't wait! :happy:

[one80]

The album leaked...:( must resist downloading...:(

[ijiwaru]

The album leaked...:( must resist downloading...:(

:O where where? i can't wait for another three weeks TT_____TT

[pinkkillerkisou]

http://impact-media.me.uk/phptracker/ has it as a torrent and the RES LJ comm has it also uploaded to ysi... I haven't really checked elsewhere but I'm sure it's other places and slsk by now... I'm trying to avoid it... >__>

It's so tempting but I am serious about this... I'm gonna wait. :(

[Riyko]

I got a confirmation email yesterday from cdjapan telling me they shipped it out, I'll have my copy either by saturday or monday at the latest :-)

[Kinsao]

God, PK, I don't have your self-restraint. :(
I'm gonna have to end up downloading this, as it takes a while to arrive. :(

@ Ijiwaru: Kozi went to Australia! :p :D

[pinkkillerkisou]

ehh... jeez... I don't really know how much restraint I have. :relief:

I haven't listened yet but it's looking awfully good. I've been trying to stay away from the computer as much as possible... and that means watching hours of M*A*S*H re-runs! :cool: :D :lol: I think they'll be here on Monday or maybe Tuesday... they checked through customs and put on a truck headed here about 4 hours ago... I doubt it'll be here tomorrow and no mail on Sundays... I hate that... who invented no mail on Sunday? :okashii: that's the dumbest thing ever... I thought the mail comes not matter what... rain or shine doesn't include holidays and Sunday I guess... what hypocrites! LOL

I best go cause there's a bad thunderstorm and I'd hate for a power surge to fry my computer... thank the lord for thunderstorms... an excuse to stay away from the computer and not dl the album. :D

[*Satsuki*]

^^ good thing I have dialup I cant DL it.. I can wait for my album to come >< yea I hate no mail on sundays mine prob come too..now I must wait x_x

[Riyko]

Mine will be here if anything tomorrow mine left SFO at 2pm if I remember correctly :-) I really can't wait for mine to arrive yay!

[Pink Usagi Chan]

There's something else I wanted to say about the DVD. For those of you with dvd players that can't play different region dvds, the dvd for this cd is 'region free', so you can play it on your dvd players. :cool:

Oh, and as for the 'live performance', I watched it again, and the song is a recorded song, that just plays over the performance clips. However, the concert clips look like they were all taken from different shows. :?

[*Satsuki*]

^^ really? cool just like cinema cradle was also region free I want to see it! even if's clips only I want to see them live!I heard they aren't very lively during lives but I can't believe that! *remember's protoplasm clip*I hope all jrockers follow the "region free" dvd thing so we won't have to buy region players now the only thing that wont play my dvd player is klaha dvd >.> dunno why..

[one80]

Oh, and as for the 'live performance', I watched it again, and the song is a recorded song, that just plays over the performance clips. However, the concert clips look like they were all taken from different shows. :?
oh, so its like Dir en Grey's "Machiavellism" PV?
Well, I just splurged on a buncha cds at HMV, so i'm a bit more anxious about those than Rentrer en Soi's album, though not by much.

[daki]

Mine will be here if anything tomorrow mine left SFO at 2pm if I remember correctly :-) I really can't wait for mine to arrive yay!
canada post don't work on saturdays :-)
wait for monday :-)

d/led their album, what a contrast to their previous works! total makeover from soft and pertty to meaner and angrier. but it keeps reminding me of Kyo and dir en grey....thanks to the screaming and such.

That's something I didn't know canada doesn't get mail on saturdays, i'm back in Utah until August and i'll be back up there in Sept for college.

I got mine today and i'm listening to it ^_^ it's actually quite a good album I like it :-)

[pinkkillerkisou]

WARNING!!! EXTREMELY LONG (and slightly fangirlish XD) POST!

My RENTRER EN SOI copies came today... I was so excited I could barely stand it. It wasn't a long wait at all really. I survived the storm. I'm so proud of me. XD I was actually awake for the mailman for once... lol... he came at like 9 am... I was sick all night and I kept waking up so I only slept off and on from like 5-8:30. I guess being sick was good for something... so umm... thanks my crappy immune system... I appreciate it... I think XD

I see what people meant that it was weird listening the first time... it is so different. It really takes you aback. Their new music has a lot of attitude and style. Well... it can't compare to Sphire-Croid because they are so different you wouldn't believe it's the same band. I can't even pick a song that is reminiscent of anything they've done before. Except for Mawaru and some parts of Strawberry Oblaat of course. It met my expectation for variety. The songs are diverse not only in a way from each other but within the songs there is a lot of diversity.

I wanted to hit myself cause I told myself to really hear the songs and not have seizures of excitement I would listen while very calm and peaceful with headphones and the lights off and my eyes closed... and what did I do... rip it open without thinking, throw it into the stereo, turned the volume way up, and belly flopped onto my bed (bad idea seeing I stayed up all night sick and vomiting XD), kicking my little feet and squealing as quietly as I possibly could... HAHAHAHA

The only thing different between limited and regular edition is the cover, obi, and product number... they are exactly the same artwork and cd and the postcards that were first press are the same... the limited just has a double-sided tray for the dvd... and the cover for the regular edition isn't really a cover... it's a slip the size of a cover and then the booklet... and there's free porn in the regular press, too! Inverted nudiepie Satsuki is on the back... LOL!

ok... a quick *coughornotsoquick* review, but warning... the first bits of each were written at a first listen so I'm not sure how dumb I sound even now after leveling my head like a disintegrating building... lol dont ask... I left them in cause I dunno... I felt like it so ha! You can probly tell the parts that were added after cause they are a little more... uh... refined? coherent? or maybe not... XD I'm sure someone could give a better and more technical review *cough Kinsao* but I just felt like sharing mine anyway.

1 - Mawaru - a quick little intro. it's En Soi!!! same piano tune with weird other... noise? o_O Like wind chimes... a church bell... and plucking noise. It sounds in a way like an old record. A little fuzzy. Only 47 seconds though. It stops a bit abruptly and goes straight into the next song. Still there is a somewhat smooth transition into the next track. Just hearing this was the opening brought a huge smile to my face... I foolishly thought RES isn't much different afterall... haha. Kind of ironic too cause like a month ago I burned my friend a cd of various RES tracks and I made En Soi the intro... lol

2 - Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku - Omg I love this song! Not what I was expecting at all. Very heavy and strangely beautiful all at the same time. So many great moments in this song. Interesting engrish lyrics...the lyrics are about half in english. One of my favorites "What do you want to do me on earth?" Well earth doesn't satsify you we can do it someplace else... haha jk. This song at first was very confusing... it took about 3 listens before it really hit me what this song was like... the diversity totally threw me off. Probly the most diverse song in the album. A good song to begin with because it's very strong and catchy. It shows just how well RES can blend styles and make them their own while incorporating their talents and strengths musically. I'd have to say that excluding PROTOPLASM or Karasuiro no Taiji that Bunretsu LE+DE Jinkaku is the the strongest on the album. I'd be hard pressed to pick if it was between the 3 of them... cause they all have their strong points. Ok... so the very beginning starts really cool. I didn't realize it was a new song at first. Then it goes all techno for a couple seconds. 1:27 break it down for us Satsuki... oh yea! XD I love the guitars at that bit. 2:13 wtf? we're in Mexico all of a sudden... *looks around confused* I want me some sopapias! HAHA! 2:29 ahhh drums... *love* Ok... if this doesn't convince you that Satsuki needs no help from Kyo I don't know what does. After many listens to the album I would imagine this is my favorite track because I kept going back and listening to it most out of any of the songs. Maybe you can tell too cause I think this is probly gonna be the longest review of the songs... XD

3 - Giragira - Be ready to dance! hahaha... it's totally catchy. I love the bass. Some really great drumming in here as well. I guessed wrong... Shun wrote Giragira... a total shock. Shun seems too boring for such a song. Put on your dance shoes for serious! It's Giragira-cise time. LOL! Around 1:45 guitars *single tear rolls down cheek and reaches for the pie* XD. The backing vocals are pretty funny towards the end. This song is pretty hard to critique... I don't know why. Maybe I'm too busy dancing about to be thinking about it too much. It really wasn't at all what I was imagining it would sound like from the clip on the OHP and the bit I heard from the radio program. Hands down the catchiest song on this album. I'm pretty sure only RES could pull off groovy synth with rock and do so gracefully as they did... lol

4 - DEAD believe ME - Satsuki said the F word! O___O wahh he said it again... oooh there it was again ! O_____O LOL... that's all I could think the first time. Yay! a Mika song... I'm so happy... Mika writes awesome songs. Gotta love the engrish in this one... like "Dear DEAD **** believe" Oh man... that's to much. I don't know why Satsuki saying **** is so amusing and shocking to me. Is it just me? XD Ok... starts off really interesting and sounds really promising. 1:53... interesting... that part really grabbed my attention and that led to 2:13 a nice little bass solo.

5 - PROTOPLASM - You guys all know about this one... I don't think I have to say anything about it... it's the same version.

6 - Gedoku magai ni SUICIDE - Another Mika song... maybe I lied about him writing good songs. Another catchy song... but maybe not quite so good... haha. This is the jazz song Satsuki must have talked about. Really great guitars then bass comes in for a bit of a solo. This song feels very typical jrock jazz-esque boogie music... but it has a really distinct feel to it. Something that sets it apart... drums and bass is pretty typical for the style but I think the guitars and and vocals are what make it unique. It's an ok track with the album but I think standing alone it's not very impressive. I this proves my friend wrong... she says track 6 on every album is usually the best. I told her no... that is not the case many times... but 95% of the time it is track 2 that kicks ass... oh I love it when I'm right... haha.

7 - Strawberry Oblaat - whoa... Satsuki wrote this one. I'm totally impressed. Way to go Sacchan! *o* Different words for this version. I dunno... I love both version... this is screamier... and heavier. Definitely better guitars. It seems kinda like a live version. Kinda screaming rap-ish at parts. The chorus is the only part I think that is the same words and similar melody as the original Ichigo Oburaato and there's one verse that's the same I think. An excellent remake and one of the better tracks on this album.

8 - Misemonogoya - Starts off with a little acappella... which is just a smidge... uhhh... how to put it nicely... not good... please don't ever do something like that again Satsuki... it doesn't work for you... >___< once the music comes in the beginning sounding like an end song to me... feeling like it'd be on the end of an album or an anime show. -_-***** But quickly that changes... till the chorus that is. 1:05 guitars are yummy... unfortunately it's probly my least favorite track... but some parts redeem the song from be disliking it entirely... like the guitars at 1:31 oh boy is that tasty... haha. This song also has a way too typical feeling at many points unfortunately... some really great guitars sets it apart but not by much... seems like a waste of good guitaring on a otherwise unpleasant song. Fortunately this one clocks in at 2:30 so the torture isn't all that long. Am I on drugs or can you hear faintly hidden and woven deep beneath the surface the melody of Jessica by Dir en grey... but really only the chorus... if so I'll have to kill myself cause I just proved my own self wrong about the DiruxRES thing. -_-;;; I hate it when I'm wrong... XDD

9 - Karasuiro no Taiji - I don't think you need me to tell you the awesomeness of this song either. I think I have enough in the previosu months already as with PROTOPLASM. XD

10 - Seishinshi Jusandome - At a first listen of the album this was my favorite song. Satsuki needs no help from Kyo really people... hear the man roar... -___- XD Ok... this song is so catchy and heavy you just have to love it. Makes you want to invent some weird headbanging yet dancing yet jumping dance move or something... or not... I imagine that's how Takumi got his head injury... I bet it was during this song... it's dangerous... lol. The drums and guitars are just amazing. 1:21 Drums oh man... I was dying. Oh lord and that leads right into the guitars at 1:40. I just have to say the chorus is a bit... err..... funny. ^^;;; Some the vocals in this are just... hilarious... I dunno... hard to explain if you haven't heard. Yet miraculously somehow unbeknownst to me it works quite effectively. I really enjoy this song in spite of it... possibly even because of it. Oh... and I really love that repetitive "Death Grace" part at I think it was 0:53... or should I say Desu Gurays like they do? XD This song is the one that keeps getting stuck in my head... Giragira too...

11 - JUDE - What can I say about Jude other then it's quite simply gorgeously dark. Almost the best track on the album... it falls slightly short of the bar though. I wasn't expecting it to sound like this from the clip. There some creepy organ in here. Makes the song almost sound foreboding. Definitely one of the stronger tracks on this album. The beginning... I was like... no this isn't JUDE... no... no... no... maybe? *quadruple check lyric booklet* o_O? The part that starts at 0:58 felt a bit too typical. Pretty much everything after made up for it though. Some parts made me cringe cause they were almost going back into the kind of sound I hated at the beginning. Lovely guitar solo though at 2:30. The choruses are wonderful. It ends very... umm... interesting... haha.

12 - Binetsuka de Shajitsu shita Shinso wa Atesaki Fumei no Tegami to Naru - How perfect! The is precisely the kinda of song I was on the edge of my seat... err... bed... waiting for the whole time. How satisfying and refeshing a track this was. It's like the cool-down after all that Giragira-cising... lol. Still a little heavy on the guitars at parts. This totally had me in tears all the way through. I was hoping there was atleast one slow song. RES always is best at making those tear-jerking, heart-renching, emotional, slow track and power ballads. Add Binetsuka to the list cause it right up there with the oldies like wither, Anima Mundi, Last Word 「 」, Itsuwari no uzu, and Aqua. It's a perfect ending for this album. Only gripe... c'mon on it's a beautiful song... why ever did you end it with that weird scratchy exhale... that was uncalled for. T_T I think this is without a doubt the best song on this album. It really touched me in a way none of the other songs could. But I can't leave it there cause OMG guitar guitar guitar guitar at like 2:30... I'm in love. *o* ok... there... the itching to say that was scratched... looks like I'm done... XD

Aww man... over already? T___T I wanted this album never to end. I kinda sat in silence the first time through for a good 10-ish minutes... completely empty headed and in shock over what I just discovered and wondering if it really over... all the anticipation... excitement... is it done? I was left with no impression whatsoever. It was so awkward. I'm always so moved by RES's music and this didn't do that... I mean sure PROTOPLASM really moved me and Binetsuka did but I didn't feel much of anything when it was over and done. Was that the intention? I'm not sure? Anyone else felt this way? Usually I am left with so many questions and thoughts and yearnings. Instead I greeted the end stunned with nothing but silence and confusion. Now of course after many listens I have all those thoughts and questions and yearnings (namely for RES to kill off some parts in some songs XD)... but it took so long to develop... I felt like my mind was barricaded by the music... once I was familiarized with it I figured out how to get around the hinderance... does that make sense? Probly not... >_<

Ok... here's some afterthoughts. Ok, Ryo didn't write any songs. Soooo he gets a beating like I promised... lol. But he really shines on this album even if he didn't write any songs. The majority of basslines are completely worthy of praise. I think that for some tracks Satsuki's vocal quality and range wasn't really played to it's stregnths... lots more screaming then I was expecting on this album. Then again it doesn't seem fitting for the songs not to have them. I have to say you made it hard for me to sing along Satsuki... and I don't mean those high notes... I mean your slurs, screams, and bad engrish makes it hard to know which line you are singing much less sing with you... LOL! I couldn't follow most of the time. XD Man... the guitars... I was simply astounded and thoroughly impressed with the guitars. Lots of really wonderful moments for guitar on this album. Passed my expectations for sure and I'd have to say that they are probly the backbone of the music. The real support and stregnth the songs. Only complaint that occasionally they made it a bit difficult to pay attention to drums and they obscured the bass. Drums... sadly... I wasn't very focused much on drums... even after many many listens. It's sad cause they are usually what I pay attention to most. Some songs or parts really grabbed me, but for the most part I wasn't really captivated. I had high hopes for you Mika... I guess this is the end of our affair... lol dont ask. Apart from a few strands of the fibers woven into these new songs almost unnoticed... those that made up the unique sound of the old Rentrer en Soi... it feels as if the old ReS is a thing of the past. It's very sad but very refreshing at the same time... they are moving forward. Some parts felt kind of typical but most of the time with a RES twist if that makes sense. They certainly didn't let me down. I kinda thought at first when I didn't feel much of anything that I was disappointed but it's apparent now I was mistaken. XDD

They are off to a good start with this new style. They nearly nailed it. It needs some fine tuning and more originality in some places. For now I give this album: 8.5... for the sole reason that no matter how many listens I give it the really typical parts stuck our like a sore thumb to me. I'd give it a 9.5 if they made it ten tracks and skipped Gedoku magai ni SUICIDE and Misemonogoya... probly perfect 10 if they murdered and disposed of that bit in JUDE and came up with something better to take it's place... revisited a few parts of that song and seasoned it with some oomph and originality it would be incredible... best song on the album... I should rewrite it and send it to Takumi and say "see this is the true potential of this song... what were you thinking crackhead? Re-make please and thanks." (pun about his head injury intended of course XDDDD) It really ruins the listening experience for me because I know they can do better... I know they have overwhelming originality... I've seen it before in their other releases. I can not lie... it was a little disheartening to hear so many parts that sounded like stuff I'd heard before numerous times. I still think it deserves many more listens because it has yet to really grow on me. I'm in a bit of shock even still nearly 18 hours since I first heard and I'm still listening... haha.

Now onto the DVD... I listened to the album so many times I actually forgot about it till like 3 hours later... lol.

1 - PROTOPLASM - What to say... nothing compares to having the real thing and watching it on your TV... haha... it was like I saw it for the first time. I think it's my favorite out of the 3 PVs. I like the filming techniques... camera angles... the editing. It's beautifully done. I wish you could see more of the other guys though. Satsuki is pretty and all but c'mon... not everyone is a raving mad Satsuki fan... some of us do like the other guys believe it or not... XD I think I mentioned before that I really felt it was a fitting PV for the song even though it was not what I expected. Watching that PV... I dunno... as you reach the end and there's that final verse and they are all leaving those ruins and going up the stairs... I found it was very inspiring and uplifting for some reason... I don't know why but I felt really good after it.

2 - Karasuiro no Taiji - Lots of imagery. Very reminiscent of themes in their music old and new but still very distant from the Mizu yume miru chouchou or Cinema Cradle PVs. It's a nice companion to the PROTOPLASM PV. Interesting storyline... gotta love Satsuki's glitterful face... XD Are those real tattoos on his hand? They changed it up a bit didn't they? The end looks different from the clip on the OHP. o_O? I lost the uplifted spirit somewhere in this PV... my spirit was gloomy... XD It's very depressing to me... even if Satsuki is wearing more glitter then and 8 year old girl. HAHA!

3 - Bunretsu LE+DD Jinkaku - wowowowowowowowowow... wow! Here comes the dead spirit. XD I didn't think I could love this song anymore then I already did, but watching it with all the live clips made it like 1,000 time more enjoyable. Maybe it had something to do with those shot of Takumi with braids... jk... haha. Oh man... he must know about my fetish! This PV made me anxious... I felt myself getting closer and closer to the screen the whole time completely entralled by what I was seeing. (and no I don't mean Satsuki's nipples... what do you take me for... -_-* ahahahahahaha) I wanted to be there so bad... I have to see RENTRER EN SOI live or I'll just die!

PKK's top picks (best not favorite):
song - Binetsuka de Shajitsu shita Shinso wa Atesaki Fumei no Tegami to Naru
PV - PROTOPLASM (it's also my favorite but it is both. Like Binetsuka the PROTOPLASM PV really got to me.)

So what did I think? Totally worth the extra money to get the limited edition if you can find it. If not... there's always the reversible porn cover for the regular press... it's not much of a loss... Satsuki's nipples come with both editions. XDDDD

Did I completely bore you all to a painful, unnecessary, and most importantly irritating death? lol... well maybe this will make up for it...

I made scans of everything. I'll try to romanize some lyrics too. I've already started since I have nothing better to do with my sick self... I'm sure someone faster and more knowledgable will beat me too it though. XD here are scans... I only scanned the limited edition except for the cover slip and obi... really the only difference is the product number on the cd... that's it really. I didn't think it worth it to scan both cds since they look exactly the same and my scanner is so crappy you can't even see the product number... lol

Sorry some are not so great... or all of them... but it took me hours... my scanner is such a piece of crap... everytime I scanned something the next time I tried to scan it wouldn't work so I had to restart the computer after every scan... and I scanned numerous times trying to get the best quality images... so I tried guys... really I did... XD Maybe someone else with a better scanner can scan them if anyone wants better scans... haha. They also came with ticket thingers with another triangle. I didn't scan that... apparently you bring that and the triangles from Karasu and Protoplasm obi's and they give you a gift at Club Quattro live (7/30) I want a gift... T___T Maybe I can mail them to someone reliable who is going and they can get it for me. Yea right... they'd probly steal it and I would cry like a vocalist without his precious pie... T____T XD

...and now my fellow followers of the First Church of RIENTO (haha dont ask)... I am done... for real... boy do my fingers hurt like hell. XD

[Pink Usagi Chan]

O______________________O Good lord. Those posts are immense!


I can agree a bit about the 'left with no impression' part. When the cd ended the first time I listened, I thought, "That's it? that's all?" It felt a bit too short. I still really like the cd, I'll have to go buy their older releases to see how much they changed. I like the overall sound and style of this cd.

I feel a bit dizzy after reading that... so much information. Very nice review, though.

[pinkkillerkisou]

haha... I knew it was gonna be long but not that long... sorry... I think the photobooklet is more dizzing then my long posts... I can't stare at it... it's all weird patterns and crazy technicolors... XD

I was worried it was just me who felt that way. You are right... it did feel short. 42:10 for 12 tracks and alot of the tracks were under 3 minutes long. It didn't feel complete. Closure without really being resolved. It was almost numbing in a way.

Crap... I just noticed the scan of PROTOPLASM page in the booklet vanished and I can' find it on my harddrive anywhere... I'll scan it in the morning... XD

[one80]

I read most of your review, save for the individual track reviews. My copy still hasn't arrived and I don't want your review to influence me subconsciously or anything lol.

It should arrive tomorrow or sometime this week!! XD

[Riyko]

PKK awesome review on the album. I love the whole album it's really good. I was asleep when the mailman came so I didn't get the joy of recieving the package, but I was happy when I woke up and found it :-)

[Kaine]

WAHHH thanks so much for the review and the images!!! haha altho its was probably not the LONGEST jref post but it was definitely one of the most informative =P

[Kinsao]

Whoooo! I love your long interesting review post, PK! :happy: :cool: :-)

OMG this album is so ******* awesome. O_o I am totally fallen in love with it, even after listening only two times I am becoming addict already *twitches* :souka: :silly:

I'm going to make a proper review for Nippon project, so I'm not going to repeat myself here everything! :blush: But.......

Actually, the drumming really stood out for me. It's not something I normally notice except at particular drum breaks or if I am specially listening out for it. But here, for practically every song I found myself writing "good drumming"!! http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/music/musik35.gif

The bass and guitars are all love... total love... :love:

I like the way each instrument gets their own space and time, none of them are overshadowed or get less prominence on the album... which makes it feel very balanced... even though it is so varied. :mad:

God, their range is amazing... :mad: from delicate and detailed to relentless and heavier... they vary the pace well (both within songs and between different songs) and also the balance of loud/quiet... so it is interesting all the way through. :p

Satsuki's vocal range... what can I say... wow... just wow. :souka: He can sing from smooth and clear to growly, screamy, snarly... and he seems to do a fair bit of sexy whispering on this album as well. :blush: And his range of pitch... gahhh... X_X

Personally I tend to prefer their slightly less heavy songs, just because they allow me to appreciate the detail better. :relief: RES can sometimes have a bit of a harsh edge (maybe that's the wrong word but I can't find the word I'm looking for ><) that makes me think there is a need for... some more weight in lower tones... (mehh my language skills are really disappearing! ><)... more... richness... although the basslines are topnotch... but I'm thinking more of a tone type thingy. :auch:

It's a really strong and impressive album! :cool:
My favourite tracks are PROTOPLASM, Binetsu de shajitsu shita shinsou wa atesaki fumei no tegami to naru (aka "the one with the long-ass name" :okashii: :D ), and Gedoku magai ni SUICIDE.

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Very good review. :cool: I swear Satsuki could pass for a soprano. He puts many of the sopranos in my chorus to shame. Not to mention the boys...


Tonight was a bit strange. My neighbor came over to fix a problem with our dvd player, and I had left my Rentrer en Soi dvd in there. He pulled it out and said, "What is this thing with a skull on it?" and gave my mom this weird look. He opened the cd case and read all the members names outloud, "shun, ryo, Satsuki, Mika, Takumi..." and just sat there staring at it like it was going to bite him. XD I don't think he understands/appreciates my musical tastes. Or feminine looking men.

[pinkkillerkisou]

ok, sorry about that... I put up the PROTOPLASM page scan in my previous post. ^^;

When I first woke up yesterday morning *cough 4:30 in the afternoon XD* I listened to the cd again.... while still in bed half asleep while everything was quiet and peaceful... ok... I cried a lot that time... not cause the songs moved me this time but cause Rentrer en Soi is gone. T_____T I tried to listen as a hardcore old fan and a little less open minded... really only 5 songs fit my criteria as worthwhile tracks for me as an old ReS fan... when I did that. Mawaru, PROTOPLASM, Strawberry Oblaat, Karasuiro no Taiji, and Binetsuka. JUDE almost made it on the list. There's too much greatness in the song for me to be bitter forever... haha. That song is really growing on me like tumor... ahaha. Maybe in 20 more listens I'll be able to get past those parts entirely and it'll be on the special list. Their heavy songs are not like older heavy ReS at all... I dunno... I'm starting to miss ReS after listening like that... the new RES is really great and promising but the songs I mentioned were the only ones that really felt special and had that ReS uniqueness to me. Please don't leave ReS... stay with me forever. T_T I wish I wouldn't have done that... I've been in a mood since and who knows if I'll ever be able to appreciate the other songs I liked before... I wish I wasn't sick and had better things to do with myself then think too much on things... haha.

I have a question actually... umm... anyone know what the LE+DD might mean in 分裂LE+DD人格... I've been ponder that forever... haha... Bunrestu LE+DD Jinkaku means "Split LE+DD Personality" right? But what the hell does the LE+DD mean... maybe it's abbreviations for mental disorders?I thought DD might be Dissociative Disorder and LE I have no clue... I can't think of anything for that. Any ideas?

@Kinsao: You liked Gedoku magai ni SUICIDE? o_O Ughh.... I think that is quickly becoming my least favorite track... I almost always skip it. It's starting to disgust me. -_-;;; I guess it's a matter of preference. *shrugs*

[Kinsao]

Awwww PK! :bawling: *hugs*
Umm... but I really like this album! :souka: Maybe it's because I was never a hardcore ReS fan... I only got to love Astre no Ito and Kein no Hitsugi, those 2 and their work since then... I have older songs than that but they never really struck me before, only Astre and Kein and following... perhaps that's the reason. :?

Obviously some songs off this album are better than others, but taken all in all I love it! :silly:

I made my full reviews today and submitted, so maybe one day I'll have a link for them.

Oh, I like that one! Misemonogoya is the one that I don't like! :blush: But Binetsu etc etc is one of my faves, as is PROTOPLASM. :love: And 分裂LE+DD人格 is great, too! :cool:

Tonight was a bit strange. My neighbor came over to fix a problem with our dvd player, and I had left my Rentrer en Soi dvd in there. He pulled it out and said, "What is this thing with a skull on it?" and gave my mom this weird look. He opened the cd case and read all the members names outloud, "shun, ryo, Satsuki, Mika, Takumi..." and just sat there staring at it like it was going to bite him. XD I don't think he understands/appreciates my musical tastes. Or feminine looking men.
That made me giggle! :giggle: although I can't imagine being around people who would give a funny look just from seeing a DVD/CD with a skull on it - I have gazillions of skulls about the place... they fall out of cupboards! :D (no, really!) Hmm, but maybe he thought it belonged to your mom! Ah, was he saying the names and staring oddly because they are men's names but look feminine? Bahhh! :wary: :lol:

[pinkkillerkisou]

Ah well no worries. Shortly after I made that post I had the brilliant revelation. It was like a sign from heavens. Blinding light and angels singing and a voice telling me what to do... all coming from seemingly nowhere. I'm talking the whole enchilada people! haha jk... anyway... the marvellous idea I had was to ask Satsuki what it meant. Brilliantly simple solution, don't you think? So perhaps we will know soon... if the little man replies that is... I should have included a picture of a slice of apple pie for incentive... XDDD

I don't like Misemonogoya either. whew, what a relief. I'm not alone. I like some of the guitar parts but not only do I keep hearing the melody for Diru's Jessica (I swear the chorus you can't help but do the Kyo foot pumping thing he does in Jessica... XD) but I realized why I don't like the rest of it... cause it's also in a weird way the melody of a song by Gazette... I think it's Miseinen but I'm too lazy to listen to check right now. It's like if you took those two song put them through a blender it would be Misemongoya... and I discover this just when I was starting to accept it for what it is. I only listen to that song for the guitar bits I liked... stupid reason I know. XD

They don't look feminine to me at all in the album... :souka: maybe he was looking weirdly cause their faces are all distorted and cracked up... :? :D

[Pink Usagi Chan]

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'feminine', I was thinking of old ReS. :sorry: Perhaps they looked..'different from your everyday 7 eleven worker'? Meh, I don't know, all I know was that it was really strange, seeing my neighbor go through the cd case with such purpose, such interest. (I don't know why the skulls would bring attention, since his daughter runs around in Marilyn Manson t-shirts. o_O) maybe it has something to do with that there's a building named Satsuki near here. And my mother quickly made sure he knew it was my cd, that her daughter was the one with strange taste. :D


I'd say my favorite songs from the album are the two singles, Protoplasm and 鴉色の胎児, Strawberry Oblaat, and 分裂LE+DD人格. When I first heard the LE+DD song on the dvd, I thought "What a great song!" :dance: Yeah, so those songs really stuck out to me.

I just listened to 見世物小屋, and it does seem like a blend of Jessica and Miseinen. It's strange, I'd listen to a couple seconds of Jessica, then I'd click and listen to 見世物小屋, and it would actually fit with the rythm.

I'd have to say that there were some songs where it sounded like it was from a different band. :souka:

[daki]

i only listened to the album once, i'll listen to it more times for sure. but for now, as i've said before, sounds very very like dir en grey because of the screaming and whispering. for now the song for me is Protoplasm, nicely done. sometimes it takes a while to fully enjoy albums like these because the songs are of the same genre in a way, but that's what makes this album complete by being heavy through out. i'll say for now they had the courage to make a change in their music and i think it's paying off, it's well done as it's their first "heavy" album. despite the similarities to diru, it has some rentrer en soi in it that makes their songs rentrer en soi.

[*Satsuki*]

T_T I havent gotten my copy yet *sad* maybe someone stole my mail I dunno..I really wanna hear it!!

[Kaine]

HAHHAHA did you order it from cdjapan? if so... girl... you gotta get it somewhere else -_- you dont have luck with cdjapan.. you never got your winter romantic from them huh?? i hope they refund your money =(

Well, I got my copy of the album yesterday. I've only listened to it a few times but.. wow! Totally nothing like Sphire Croid. It's really good, great, wonderful, awesome... but it kinda makes me miss the old RES style. =(

Also, kinda random but, I adopted a dog from the pound yesterday, a femal husky, and I named her Mika! I didn't realize it then, but I guess I kinda named her after Mika-san. XD

Anyways, I'm working on ripping the PVs from the DVD and uploading them through megaupload... my laptop just takes forever to upload anything though. =____=

[Riyko]

T_T I havent gotten my copy yet *sad* maybe someone stole my mail I dunno..I really wanna hear it!!
o.o! I would of thought that you would of gotten yours first seeing as how you live in california and it arrives in San Fransisco. Have you checked the order status that you got in the email if you ordered yours from cdjapan?

[*Satsuki*]

@kaine yea I never got winter romantic -_- they refuneded it tho dunno why they still list it tho jeez..
x.x RES it came today but I missed it ..I was at work..now I can't pick up till thursday ee I'm so mad..

[one80]

I got my copy today and the album is pretty good, though of course there are a few areas that are in need of improvement. Satsuki's vocals are mixed too low on some songs and the drums could have been mixed so that they hit a little harder (sometimes the drums seem to sound muffled under the guitars). Track #6 is probably the only one I don't like...not because its jazzy (Jazz = <3), but it seems out of place and I think it could have been excuted differently if they were going for a Jazzy theme.

I'll wait til the album sinks in before I judge it any further, but overall its really good.

So far, the standout tracks for me are: (too tired to get the actual names XD)

#3, 5,7,9,10,11,12

I'd love ReS to go back to their old style, but I think they're trying to find a balance between the "new" and the "old." I expect them to have a more "solid" sound on their next release.. They definitely have the skills necessary! :)

hard to say, but i think they probably won't go back to the old style. I was a litle surprised of their change too, given i really like what they did in Sphire Croid, their best work during the visual days.

[pinkkillerkisou]

I would love for them to go back to their old style too... I really miss their old sound. It was so special. T___T I have to say some of their best works are on this album though... like PROTOPLASM, Karasuiro no Taiji, and Binetsuka. They have really improved as musicians too... even if I don't like the style as much.

Drumroll please... haha jk.. I finished romanizing 微熱下で写実した深層は宛先不明の手紙と成る :happy: Let me know if anyone spot any mistakes. I'm working on all the other tracks too... except Giragira and Misemonogoya cause those pages make me dizzy so I gave up on those... haha. I'll try to finish some more but it takes me ages to do these...



微熱下で写実した深層は宛先不明の手紙と成る
words: 砂月 song: 匠

辺りは冷たい人の群れ
求めた温もりは虚ろで

此処に記した手紙は届き響くかな？
深く深く心へ

この瞳に映る現実は　　ほら　　救えない
声に出して綴ろう　　白紙の未来　　さぁ今此処で

でも　　生きてる事が何故か 噛締められない
体温に触れていたいのに

気付けば独りで　　ほら　　誰も愛してなんてくれない
深く深く心で

鮮やかな想いは　　日々の中　　ほら　　枯れて行く
戻して　　優しい　　光の中　　今すぐに　　でも…

この瞳に映る現実は　　ほら　　救えない
声に出して綴ろう　　白紙の未来　　さぁ今此処で

夢は夢のまま　　希望は何処にも無い
現実を見据える　　其処にある何かを掴む爲に
終わらせたくは無い　　確かな意志を抱えて
無様な俺がほら　　光を探している

I love that song PKK (is too lazy to type out the name of it) I listen to it over and over and over again and bug everyone with it because they tell me I should listen to other stuff.

I miss their old style too, but every band had to change their style at some point in time :-)

[Krissi]

A part of me thinks that Yukari really influenced their older style a lot. Rentrer en Soi did sound a lot like Baiser (at least to me). It seems that once he left, their style changed quite a bit (from Astre no Ito/Kein no Hitsugi straight to Protoplasm).

To me, it sounds like they wanted to make this change, since now they're able to do what they'd like now that they produce their own music. ^^

Just my thoughts. I really like their new sound.

Edit: And I'm really not sure how I have this username, instead of my kwissipie one... but oh well.

[Endsight61]

I'm back Pinky!!!!! Did you miss me?

[pinkkillerkisou]

Oh man... isnt that song beautiful? so touching... it completely attacks my heart... T___T Riyko... you play bass right? Or am I thinking of someone else in this thread (other then myself of course... XD) or perhaps I'm losing my mind and I'm the only bassist to survive this forum... T_T XD ...I'm trying to figure out the bass tabs for 疑裸偽裸 ...maybe you can help me out? My tab skills are a bit questionable... XD

@Endsight: yea... what happened?!?!? you came back and then you were gone just as quick... haha

I'm almost finished romanizing JUDE and 精神死１３度目 (why am I working backwards? I just noticed that... XD well... I'm working on them all similtaneously but I guess I'm finishing those quicker... haha) Does anyone need Karasuiro no Taiji... I finished it forever ago and realized I never did post it. >___<

[Riyko]

I play bass, so your thinking correctly. I will try my best to help you out with the tabs for that song.

[*Satsuki*]

I think alot of people want Rentrer en Soi to come to america, but are afraid to ask for them to come to the US because their might not be alot of people who'll be at the concerts

JUDE
words: 砂月 song: 匠

お前には　　映らない　　お前には　　響かない

お前達全てが今も　　粉々に散りばめれて　　灰色に染まれば　　真実も愛も崩れてゆく

気付かないふりをして　　本当は何処かで気付いていた　　真実から眼を背け俺が泣いている

忘れられない　　記憶に刻まれた　　噴き出す雨　　真っ赤な嘘を抱いて

疎外感に覆われて　　心のナイフをずっと研ぎ澄ましているましているのち　　嘆きを押し殺して

解ったふりをして本当は全てが偽者で　　痛みに耐え続けた世界は歪んでる

黙ったまま　　佇む絶望に　　行き場の無い　　ﾊﾞﾗﾊﾞﾗの俺がいる

降り積もり憂鬱は消える事無く

忘れられない　　記憶に刻まれた　　凍りついて　　傷だらけにされてく

さよならさよなら　　真実を探したいから　　さよならさよなら　　愛を探したいから

救えないお前には未来などないさ
