AVALANCHE

 So AVALANCHE was announced.

This is how I see it:

This is everything that UVERworld has learnt since ODD FUTURE, good and evil, EDEN e, Making it Drive, AFTER LIFE, stay on , muimininaruyoru, OXYMORON , One Last Time, HOURGLASS, Teenage Love and LIVIN' IT UP.

Into its mature form.

UVERworld has 2-3 songs left like this that they will make. And I'll state this now that... I'm not that big of a fan of it. However... I don't hate it. I, personally listen to a lot of electronic music, and I appreciate what UVERworld has done to try and improve their ability to make "EDM' (in quotes because this isn't actually EDM, it's just what people seem to be calling it).

However, I could totally listen to any other artist and get a much better outcome because... UVERworld first and foremost is a BAND!

The solo artist I have brought up time and time again is this Canadian producer called "MDK". Here is one of my favourite works from them: MDK - X Buster 

The reason I'm bringing them up is that I've always thought about what UVERworld would be like if they had collaborated with MDK. I think that AVALANCHE is an example of what COULD happen. The thing is, despite all this, UVERworld has a conflict of interest, between making band music, and being experimental. they had a good balance during tycoon of that. But now it's either one or the other, and that is the problem. All these songs, EDEN e, Making it Drive, stay on , muimininaruyoru, OXYMORON, One Last Time, HOURGLASS, Teenage Love and LIVIN' IT UP, all have to be re-arranged for lives.  is that really needed?

The only point of view I get is this: UVERworld wants to start experimenting more extremely, so they compromised by having two major different compositions for songs, one for studio recordings which has a heavy focus on synths and MIDI, and the other which is focused on live.

You can see this comparison VERY WELL with HOURGLASS, the difference is extremely major, check out below:

HOURGLASS studio

HOURGLASS live

Remove the autotune, add in guitar, bass. It's a whole different song almost.

I think, for now, this is the path that UVERworld is on. I don't want to mention any members names, but I think we all know who is pushing for this project that sorta smells of solo.

The AFTER LIFE

AFTER LIFE. I saw a blog by takuya a couple days ago where, he talked about the after life, it reminded me of the song of course but, I was taken aback by it because, I had never actually looked at the words in question "AFTER LIFE". Because it's a Japanese song, I was used to not looking into the meaning of song titles. but.. the song really is about "the after life". I just wanted to say that because, I had never thought about it like that  before... it really puts a new sorta light onto the song for me... I'm working on a blog about the 2021 sept lives (they were fucking amazing) but I'm struggling with words so give me a bit of time please :(

UVERworld needs to release a DVD this year

UVERworld needs to release a DVD this year. It's as simple as that. for the past two years, UVERworld hasn't released a DVD. (unless you count ACT 3 lol). UVERworld has done a lot of live streams to be fair, however, the 2021 stream left a lot to be desired, with them playing what was basically a UNSER era setlist with EN at the end (best song). I am really really really hoping that they release a DVD of the XMAS 2021 live, considering that there weren't digests and there was a web magazine release of the live, I have been really hopeful, but the wait is just really tiring. UVERworld (Takuya) has also stated that there will be no Summer / Fall lives this year because he wants to do a live at Nissan stadium (70000 cap, this means that they will have to release singles, DVDs and other related stuff. Takuya even said in one of his blogs that he wants to release an album this year, I have my doubts about that, but it'd make sense if he wants to do Nissan stadium next year. ...
