Monday’s Worth It When KAQRIYOTERROR Has a Preview for You

/ Homicidol Maniac

I was definitely going to skip idol today, gang. I’m tired and there’s a lot of work to do besides, and the last thing I wanted to see were DMs, because the mere suggestion of DMs means that idol things happened, and I usually want to at least pretend to follow up on them. But what a choice to make to look! There are things! Posting things!

First up today is the latest two-hour (guffaw) preview from the chaos merchants at KAQRIYOTERROR, who will make this official release next Wednesday but right now really want you to listen to “Persona” and talk about it online with #Persona_! Which is likely because there’s all kinds of stuff related to the video game on Twitter right now, a very happy coincidence no doubt. Anyway!

You know what to do. Continue reading →

KAQRIYOTERROR, ‘Identity Crisis’: What Is Two Hours Compared to Eternity?

/ Homicidol Maniac

Wake up! Grab a brush and put a little KAQRIYOTERROR in your face! Yes gang, now that things over at Codomomental HQ seem to have calmed down, they’re all a-flutter with the two-hour track previews again, this one KAQRIYOTERROR’s new(ish) regime taking on arguably the best song that the group’s ever done:

You know the Codomodrill. Continue reading →

You Have Not Quite Two Hours to Listen to the New Tsurezure!

/ Homicidol Maniac / 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I did one of these — let’s see if I remember the formula.

I mentioned these upcoming solo songs from the … I was going to say “newbies” in Not Secured, Loose Ends, but it is now quite true that nobody is “new” anymore, per se, and that really only Komachi is truly a group veteran, so I say instead members of Not Secured, Loose Ends, which they’ll be employing in their nationwide one-man tour, and which had better include the recently-mysteriously absent Komachi, but that’s a topic for a post we hope to never have to write, so instead let’s listen to one of those songs, which is now available under the terms of what I like to call the Codomomental Special!

Two hours, yes, and that time is already dwindling, but this is Homicidols Dot Com and making archives accessible is something that I like to do, so: Continue reading →

All-but-final Songs and Details on the New BiS Album

/ Homicidol Maniac

Ah, and now we reach the point in the promotional machine when a new release (specifically, a WACK release) is laid almost completely bare before the world and all of its details are known and we get to speculate wildly about what might fill the otherwise-empty informational crevices. Behold, the new BiS album, now more than just a bunch of stuff on Soundcloud:

A title! A track list! A … a cover that looks a lot like it’s really playing up an appropriate punk rock association while also trying very hard to avoid being sued by Green Day! Good lord, after these tracks, there’s just the one left to show off, and it could also be a Green Day reference if you’re willing to stretch a little, and I’m guessing that’s where the MV will come from, the only question really being when, it being a real shame that we’re still more than a month from the release date, I say again.

But let’s listen to the new songs, which you can also still download for a hot minute (I’m sorry!): Continue reading →

Is a Tsurezure Remix Album Preview the Not Secured Part or the Loose Ends Part?

/ Homicidol Maniac

Such philosophical quandaries are not for the faint of heart, nor for the enterprising fancy idol blogger to contemplate too dang hard because these Codomomental previews blink back out of existence just as soon as they appear. We can deal with existential questions later!

For now, this morning brings us a preview track from Yukueshirezutsurezure’s upcoming album of remixes and re-recordings and all that jazz. Which I think I didn’t know about! That’ll happen when you disappear for a couple of weeks. But fun, I’m glad that’s happening. Take a good cue from a good Zenkimi thing. Anyway, your song:

Two hours are fake, yada yada. Continue reading →

Archiving Old-New Zenkimi Because the Gods Demand

/ Homicidol Maniac

It is the fault of nobody at all that Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da decided to flash-preview their ninth(!) single, which is coming at the end of the month, which threw me into an absolute tizzy of confusion about which release is which and when it’s happening and it didn’t actually matter because this all happened on Saturday and Team had one heck of a weekend. By the time we were able to catch up, the whole moment had passed, so I figured, hell, we missed the window, but we can still share, and let’s do it like always because if there’s one thing that Homicidols Dot Com has done consistently over these long years, it’s share Codomomental tracks on a template!

Now, ordinarily this is where we begin the whole song and dance about release windows and I do the performative routine and blah blah blah, so let’s fill in the gaps. Single:

And the track, you can still preview that (as of this writing!) … hhere.

Lyrics?

No, man, I told you, we missed the window. In fact, because there are other Zenkimi items but this is purely for archival purposes, this post is over!

This Is the Latest Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da Re-recorded Song Preview

/ Homicidol Maniac

Hey! I only have a minute so forgive the blow-through, but check it: The everlasting joy that is Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da, who are in the midst of releasing a remixed, re-recorded album of past hits with the updated membership, just keep sending out previews, as you could probably have inferred from the title of this post. Well, there’s another one today, and this is right under the wire!

“Oh noes!” you cry out, “I may be too late!” And to that, mis amigos, I say, have you not been paying attention to Homicidols Dot Com and our wink-and-nudge relationship with Codomomental all these years? Just look after the jump! Continue reading →

Time for Another Zenkimi Re-preview, You Guys

/ Homicidol Maniac

I really appreciate how Codomomental groups telegraph their moves so well — it means that I sat here with my finger on the trigger, just waiting for what I assumed would be the next preview track from their upcoming album of remixes and re-recordings (new members and all). A couple of weeks ago, it was “World End Crisis” and wew lad was that potent; today, it’s a trip further back down Memory Lane to some of the most OG of OG Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da material, but with an update!

Two hours, but you know the drill. Continue reading →

Two Hours Till the End of the World

/ Homicidol Maniac

Oh hey neat! I expected that Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da’s pre-warned announcement would be some kind of music something, what with the upcoming release of their let’s-re-release-a-ton-of-stuff-with-the-new-lineup album on the way, but did I expect that they’d come shooting out of the gates with one of the greatest, loudest, violentest, Codomomentalest idolcore songs ever put to tape? I did not. Am I absurdly pleased that they did? I am. Feast your ears on the re-recorded “WORLD END CRISIS”, only do it kind of fast because they put the ol’ two-hour limit on it and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no, friend, just play along and then if you’re here after the link in the tweet dies, ol’ Uncle Maniac will still see you through:

We’ll do the usual shenanigans because, not because there’s gonna be a whole lot there.

What?

Just take the jump.

Hi, this is where the track lives forever!

Where is Freud, indeed?

What is there to say, really? It’s still friggin’ “WORLD END CRISIS”, which frankly only gets better with time and always leaves me waxing what-could-have-been about Peak Codomomental. And they’re all still good! It’s just, there are apogees out there, and you begin to understand the whole thing with Sisyphus once you’ve reached the top of the hill and let that rock slip just the tiniest bit.

This is a good version, though. The shuffling of roles within the song took me a minute to adjust to, but the real highlights here are always the dual screams, and while I’ll admit that I’m waffling on whether my girl Yotsu is in the same position as before or whether she took on the Shidare role, I still think that this sounds like the gold standard for idols shredding their throats to really expose those emotions. What a song.

The remix album is out at the end of July. I hope they give us more on the long road to that point!

Come Listen to the New Tsurezure

/ Homicidol Maniac

Hey hey, it’s a song preview (and official title of their new single) from Not Secured, Loose Ends / Yukueshirezutsurezure, who not that long ago seemed poised to take the world by storm but are now getting ready for a new life sans their long-time lead, Shidare, and with more newness in the lineup than you can shake a stick at.

Let’s get down to business:

Two hours, they say. And to that we say, after the jump! Continue reading →
