RAZOR // エアレンデル (Earendel): See you here again

“エアレンデル” (Earendel) is the 13th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography, released in October of 2023 and following the “SAMURAIソードMAN” single. At the end of our previous review in this series we already mentioned that the single that followed had a completely different style than the release we were discussing.

More than enough reason for 雪 (Yuki) to dive into “エアレンデル”(Earendel) as well, isn’t it? Because what exactly is different compared to “SAMURAIソードMAN”? Grab your beverage of choice, and let’s jump right into this release!

JILUKA // K4RMA -THE RETURN- at Zeche (Bochum, DE)

Earlier this year JILUKA already visited Europe and the US with their “K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024”, but shortly after they already announced -THE RETURN-, and we'd be lying if we said we didn't enjoy their first time so much that we couldn't wait to see them a second time.

During this second time we of course took some photos from their live show. The link to their page on our portfolio can be found in this post!

RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!

DAMNED // Thanatosis: Death Instinct in Musical form

In this installment of V Reviews, V takes us on a journey of DAMNED's hauntingly badass track “Thanatosis”, which is also the first MV featuring the group's new lineup.

JILUKA // “K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024” at Club Volta

JILUKA came to Europe as part of their "K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024", and the third stop in Europe was Club Volta, a small venue in Cologne, Germany.
Despite the smaller venue, the turnout for the band was nothing short of impressive, existing out of fans of many different nationalities who came to see the band perform that night.

Of course we were there too, and we took some photos of their live show. These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio Arlequin Photography.
You can find the link to their page there in this post!
