Yes, I watched Death Note. How could you tell?
What I love about this album is how fun and upbeat it is. The band didn't feel constrained at all here: they approached the songwriting with passion. They can easily switch from a heavy sound, which is typical for metal, post-hardcore or punk, to a light rock sound (especially in the choruses). And it can all be within the same song.

This album recently got some traction thanks to a Chainsaw Man character (did she beat the grooming/SA allegations, I haven't read the manga in a while) karaoke singing ChuChu Lovely MuniMuni MuraMura PrinPrin Boron Nururu ReroRero. So, I get to going through the album and - IS THAT THE DEATH NOTE OPENING NO. 2? How did I not know this, that's one of my favourite OP's ever.
Anyway, back to the review. Buiikikaesu is the bonkers, feral and abrasive kind of metal that Japanese are known for. ... read more
Leave it to Japan to once again prove why they can do what the West does better. This album is chaotic, energetic beyond belief, and filled with the 2000s alt-metal spark that gave the world classic after classic. And, I guess that makes this a classic in its own right too.
Great atmosphere, I really enjoyed it The Japanese sound pretty good; that mix of nu metal with Japanese pop at times is fantastic.
My fav songs: 絶望ビリー (Zetsubou Billy) , What's up, people?!, ぶっ生き返す!! (Bu-ikikaesu!!), 糞ブレイキン脳ブレイキン・リリィー (Kuso breakin' Nou breakin' Lily), ブラック¥パワーGメンスパイ (Black¥Power G-men Spy.
