Judging by the most recent stuff I'm pretty sure this album will be much more power metal-oriented which is a very big minus, but let's wait and see what we get...

What recent stuff? Their only new song since the debut album has been "Road of Resistance", and that had Herman Li and Sam Totman guesting on it in the same way Marty Friedman and Yngwie Malmsteen have guested on songs by Momoclo Z. I don't imagine Herman Li will be producing the entire album.

Okay, touché. But still, novelty bonus tracks aren't the most reliable indicators of a band's future musical direction - especially one with as many producers as this one.

To anyone who cares, "kawaii metal" is quickly becoming a thing.

I haven't made up my mind about whether this is a good thing or not.

"Road of Resistance" is the newest song that you know?
There has been 4 more newer songs since.
Namely, (1) Awadama Fever, (2) Chigau, (3) Soiya, (4) The One
Also, Awadama Fever has been performed in about 20 of their concerts. (Therefore, not really a new song either.)
(Note: The One is not the same song as RoR).

Edit, managed to find poor quality fan-cams of their newer songs.

If Takeshi from Mad Capsule Markets is writing some more songs for this album then I'll be happy!

Well, it'll be fun to watch people overreact to it all over again at the very least.

Maybe this time they'll just keep the lead singer and ditch the other two's vocals.
