I had a feeling they would announce something at the Gaishi Hall live. I was hoping for the album to be finally announced, and maybe a tour. (world tour 2016, since Haruna said something of the sort earlier)



I can't believe how on spot it was....w

Ah, sorry I've been away for so long.... (^_^; )



Rina mentioned that 2016 is (hopefully) going to be a rockier year than 2015 was. As SUKI-SUKI seems to suggest, 2016 will be a SCA-Rock year....

A part of me still wants them to experiment more with different types of rock with this album. Stamp! mixed their sound with American rock, and Sisters was a dance x rock mixture. (Though, I was expecting something more like Doping Panda for dance rock.)

I've mentioned funk rock, jazz rock, and especially dark rock to them on twitter/J-MELO messages/twicast comments, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of rock we'll see next year.



SUKI-SUKI, I'm guessing is 好き好き, which means "like" or "love" (extra-amplified version! w).

I really like the intro, and its punkish sound. They said it's a winter song, but I couldn't really tell....w

I guess I need to listen to it more....w





One thing that interests me, as well as some comments on Twitter, is why they chose "YELLOW" as the title of their album. Is it just a theme color? Or, just maybe, it refers to the color of Asians' skin? Myself being Asian with a yellowish skin tone, it doesn't strike me as odd, but overseas, it could be quite different, right? One reason I'm kind of hoping it's the latter reason is because, as shown in the recent NHK ABU special, the members wanted to rediscover Japan's traditional instruments. I'm really hoping they were able to incorporate some shamisen and/or koto in some songs. Maybe a little shakuhachi would be nice too. For example, something similar to what GACKT does with his JIPANG ROCK songs and their Wa influences.



I'm really looking forward to seeing what else is being included on YELLOW, especially since it's self-produced....
