JILUKA // KVLT: Open your mind for this new cult

雪 (Yuki) 8 June 2025 No Comments

With the 2025 World Tour “THE KVLT” in full swing, JILUKA are currently in Europe once again after two very successful tours in 2024. Since that tour they have only released one new song and music video, namely “KVLT”. And this music video was on our to do list since it came out last February already – it just took a little longer to get to it. But with the tour in full swing now, we want to draw your attention to JILUKA’s work once more.

And if you’re still on the fence on whether or not you want to join their KVLT, allow the group to convince you one more time before their live show.

DEVILOOF // Devil’s Proof: Bare your fangs and go wild

雪 (Yuki) 1 June 2025 No Comments

DEVILOOF released their very first full album “Devil’s Proof” in November of 2017 already, and ever since it has continuously made appearances on 雪 (Yuki)’s playlist. Sometimes in full, sometimes a stray song. With the band signing to the major label Tokuma Japan in 2023 their first release under that label was either a massive hit or a massive disappointment – depending on who you ask. And with the release of their song “因習” (Inshuu) in late January of this year, 雪 (Yuki) actually saw something that made her think of “Devil’s Proof”.

So here it is, the long, long overdue deep dive into DEVILOOF’s first album, which really showcases the combination of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and J-Metal!

DAMNED // STAIN: A sense of emptiness brings no comfort

雪 (Yuki) 25 May 2025 No Comments

In September of 2024 DAMNED released the MV for “STAIN”, following the one for “Thanatosis” that came out in April of the same year. V already covered “Thanatosis” for you, so now it’s 雪 (Yuki)’s turn to cover “STAIN”!

Will this be another banger, or will it be a stain on the band’s reputation? (It definitely isn’t, don’t worry, but we couldn’t resist the pun!) 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the song and will tell you all about it in this review!

ゼラ (Zera) // Uncanny Valley: Let’s keep dreaming scary dreams

雪 (Yuki) 4 May 2025 No Comments

After the release of the “MISSA” single in September of 2024, ゼラ (Zera) are already back to add a new single to their discography. “Uncanny Valley” was released in late February of this year, and exists out of three tracks and a music video. Does this single provide an answer to the uncanny valley-hypothesis or is the name just a placeholder?

You’ve probably already noticed that we’ve been covering ゼラ (Zera)’s works more often recently, so 雪 (Yuki) couldn’t wait to dive into “Uncanny Valley” to find every little tidbit hidden within. And of course tell you all about it! Let’s put the hypothesis to the test together!

Azavana // 灰色の海を泳ぐ蛍 (Haiiro no Umi wo Oyogu Hotaru): Can I still hope for dreams and love?

雪 (Yuki) 27 April 2025 No Comments

The very first single of Azavana, “灰色の海を泳ぐ蛍” (Haiiro no Umi wo Oyogu Hotaru), may be their first single, but it’s definitely not their first release overall. The group already released two mini-albums in November of 2024, but this single really caught our attention with it’s poetic title, and even more poetic lyrics. In this review 雪 (Yuki) takes a deep dive into the single, and is more than happy to tell you more about it as well!
