中絶
Chuzetsu
20/07/92
Maxi Single
HR-004 (Haunted House Records)

1.中絶
Chuzetsu
(Abortion)
Wheeeeeeee! What a fantastic song. Strongly Eastern European in flavour. Brilliant, mournful and highly skillful. Frantic drumming, intricate spiralling guitar riffs and track apon track of overlaid vocals. Just superb! What is it about Kiyo? He can pour out his most bitter feelings without ever being anything but charming. He is so conscious of his audience and of making sure they are totally awed.
Romaji and English Translation

2. 浮遊悲
Fuuyuuhibi
(Floating Sadness)
Oh yes! The guitar broadens aout a bit here, a little slower and more massive, but still in Shins bewitching whirling dervish style.

3. In Sky
A little less exciting, but still a good song.

1. 黒夢
Kuroyume
Words: Kiyoharu, Music: Hitoki
(Black Dream)
This is the song that the band was named after, and you can see why! It's fuckin brilliant ( i should stop swearing so much :D) Heart attack drumming and the most amazing sense of build up. Overlaid vocals to die for. Kiyo is on top of his game here. He really goes off at the end..the whole effect is spectacular. You can only wish someone had given them a bit more money to record this with.
Romaji and English Translation

2. 狂い奴隷
Kuruidorei
Words: Kiyoharu, Music: Shin
(Deviation Slave)
I love this song SO much. A little heavier than the last one. They are so complex these songs, it boggles my mind and that little guitar break/trill is just gorgeous. Shin is edging out Cipher as my all time favourite guitarist. He is perfect for Kiyo. I think Dir en Grey had this song firmly in mind when they wrote most of their stuff. Can't blame them for that though XD If only they could have produced anything half so good...

3.磔
Taku
Words: Kiyoharu, Music: Hitoki
Not as strong as the last two, but still good. Lacks the distinctive features that would make it great.

4. .楽死運命
Rakushiunmei
Words: Kiyoharu, Music: Shin
(Easy Dead Destiny)
Now this I do love. Wow! First bar and I am hooked. Intricate, emotional and full of build up. Wish I knew what he was saying :D Love is like a what? I think I would have brought his vocals out a bit more in the mix. Love the drumming on this ^^.

5.親愛なるDEATH MASK
Shinainaru Death Mask
(Death mask which becomes love)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Kiyoharu
I reviewed this one for Nakigara O..sort of :D..it's an awesome song but the Nakigara version is a nicer recording.

6. 鏡になりたい
Kagaminaritai
(We want to be the mirror)
Here we go, lushest song in the known universe. Very gentle and sweet at first, with all that acoustic stuff and Kiyo doing a wonderfully sexy spoken voice over. Waaah!! This song is probably the main reason I wanted to review this album.
Anyway he proceeds to GO OFF in a fantastically emotional fashion. I really have never heard anything quite like it before. A lovely jangly soft guitar just goes delightfully. The only complaint I have is that this song is WAY too short :O
