What is your first thought after hearing this song?
I think this is one of the most experimental and mysterious singles during the late Gackt period, combining gothic rock with electronic elements, dark wave influences, and the band’s signature classical atmosphere.
Moreover the promotional video, which intended to be controversial and shocking to the fans. It was filmed in a "chaotic, frenetic style", featuring violent and erotic themes. It features band members "feasting" on nude bodies of women and being subjected to scientific experiments.
What a time to be alive :)
P.S: Legend said that there's a regular version of this single, with non shiny metallic cover, but much, much, much rare than the one in the picture. What you see is the 1st press limited edition.
