I just heard previews of all of AYABIE's new songs on their upcoming album. I agree that it's not the same without Aoi. It's almost... eerie without him. And I was just as skeptical about this "new" band as anyone, maybe even more than most. Especially when I heard that Yumehito would be singing. I couldn't believe it. And to me, it kind of felt like a kick in the face to Aoi... but I guess it's better than actually replacing him. But as I said, I've just heard some of their new music. And you know what? It's good. Something good came out of what I consider to be a terrible situation. Sitting around and whining and refusing to listen to or like the new music is NOT going to bring Aoi back to the band. He's on his solo career now, and I love that music too. If you don't like AYABIE's music, okay, fine. But not even trying it because Aoi isn't on vocals is a pretty bad reason. Yeah, I'm still mad at everyone for what happened. I still feel like Aoi was abandoned and kicked out of the band, especially after they turned right around and essentially found a loophole to form the band without him. But good music is good music. I don't agree with what happened, not in the least, and I wish the band was still together and happy. No one's even following anyone on Twitter anymore. What hurts me the most is how good of friends they were, and it's all nothing now. They aren't even on good terms, from what I understand. But Jesus, what's done is done... 彩冷える his over now, and we have AYABIE. So at least give them a shot, is I guess what I'm trying to say...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slTxktzCEL0 This is the preview for their new PV. I really like it, and think Yumehito will do well as the singer. But like I said to my friend, I have to read his lyrics before I'll fully approve. Aoi is a damn good lyricist and I'll resent Yumehito a little if he isn't as well. I hope he doesn't let me down, because he's doing great so far.
...a few people have said that Yumehito reminds them of Mao from SID. And that thought scares me. D:
