Wow, all these former Loop Ash bands (MASK, ALiBi, SCISSOR, now Ziper) releasing their old stuff on streaming... I wonder who's next.

Generich. and quin (九印) will be releasing a split-single on April 26th. "Ryuumaku (龍脈)" features 3 tracks, one from each band, plus a collaborative opening track credited as JIKUIN (ジークイン). YUCHI, of Sukekiyo, was invited to play as guest bassist on the release (presumably on all 3 tracks, although I am having a hard time confirming that). Ryuumaku will cost 3,000 yen, and will be sold as both a CD and an M-card. The cover art was done by kuin's Amano Yumihiko (天野弓彦). M1.龍脈/ジークイン M2.堕天/九印 M3.妖狐/Generich. https://fxtwitter.com/Generich_Offi/status/2042543118629900647 https://vk.gy/releases/omnibus/71340/-/

they have some DVD's. And I am hapoy thry do them. oppertunity to see a band live as well.

As much as it pains me to link a video with AI-generated images in it... here's the other PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjorXwRAz0k This one has Imai's fingerprints all over on it, musically. Fun groovy tune.

Trailer for the album with a sample of "Kiss My Blood": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMm0GRZwGpc Sounds pretty nice so far imo, love the energetic Tetsu drums (and the overall sound seems stronger and livelier than the last album too, at least to me).

Continuing the tradition of having an awful name to search for on mercari 🤪 otherwise that's neat, it kinda gives the impression this is a more permanent band than a solo/session band. Also wondering if other members will have input composing the music. It's nice to have something consistent from Ruiza and Seth.

selection - EP is available to streaming on 2026.04.08 https://music.apple.com/jp/album/selection-ep/1880623276
