Official video link is here : sega.jp/segachan/am/initialD5_pv.shtmlbut i think it's a bit slow to read it (if it's working), even if my own website isn't much more fast... it's a bit better ! haha It's true that comments are boring, but maybe we will have others videos soon even if the release isn't before February.

Well, I pre-ordered it like a dummy. lol I sometimes just can't resist. I pre-ordered this and Sakamoto Maaya's upcoming album, also coming out in January. It's on credit, but maybe I'll manage to land a job by then. ^^;

Hooolyyyy crap.
T-Kimura's blog is like a billion pages long and I can't wrap my head around it at 4 in the morning. From what I can understand, he's officially leaving Avex in March 2009. I have no idea what this means for m.o.v.e, but he says he wants to focus on "being a producer" rather than "being a musician". Whether this means he intends to start his own label, I do not know. I can't imagine what else it would mean, though. Now the question is whether or not Yuri and Motsu follow suit.
In any event, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but T-Kimura no longer has a profile page on the official site. And he's conspicuously absent from the main page image and printing album cover.
Wow. I'm in shock, here.
Also on the information page, they mention that there's some sort of raffle with the CD that results in people getting tickets to an invitation-only "secret live" concert. No idea about the details; I'll let people know if I find anything out about that.
No news on Yuri's front. Motsu updated his blog about an event he went to recently, but makes no mention of m.o.v.e once again. I'm waiting impatiently to see if either of them mentions the T-Kimura situation...
*feels light-headed*

Hi! I've been a little busy but I'm here again. Well, as everybody here, I'm in shock with the full list of humanizer's songs and it's really hard to wait til February... sight. The image of the cover it's great , as usual from m.o.v.e but the weird situation about T-Kimura's future with the band makes me nervous, because he's the brain and without him it's not gonna be the same, right now I'm suffering about it. That's it, don´t have much to say, hope to know a little more soon. Thanks guys for all your up-dates, especially Mystical huhuhu . Greetings .

well, they have been in this group since 1997ish...so its only human nature to begin to want to try new things cause its been over 10 years now ! I'm just happy that we got another album with all 3 of them putting in work, but i am getting worried that the group may break up after this just because what really stops Motsu or Yuri from entering new paths in the industry also

I agree with you Stealth, they have the right to choose their own paths, even if that means the end of m.o.v.e as we know it.
But for now, I don't know if you already check the official website with a new "futuristic" design with just Motsu and Yuri on it ¬¬ ... , Motsu looks great and Yuri looks very cool too ^^.
...on the other hand, it names T-Kimura as a producer of the album, so you see, still there but with no pictures.

Yuri saves the day! Her blog update clears up a few things in regards to the T-Kimura situation. T-Kimura talked a lot about his breaking from Avex, whereas Yuri talked more about the future of m.o.v.e. She tells everyone, "don't worry!" and that since she and the others love m.o.v.e, they still intend to continue making music. While she will miss T-Kimura's influence in everything, because he's been guiding them from the beginning, she thinks that m.o.v.e is all about change, and this is just another change for them. (That's not a direct translation, but she does mention change several times and since that is what "move" means, I figured that was what she probably means. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, anyone-else-who-knows-any-Japanese...)
She asks for everyone to please continue to support the band, and apologizes for the shocking news. She says she respects T-Kimura's decision and hopes we do as well.
She says, regarding "Humanizer", that she thinks that it may "betray your expectations".

She says, regarding "Humanizer", that she thinks that it may "betray your expectations". I wonder if we're getting a "Deep Calm" or "Decadance" genre wise as opposed to something like Electrock, which is what I'm expecting with those song titles. I'm expecting a lot of tech/trance stuff.

She has a bit nothing other than m.o.v.e, Motsu has Mother Ninja and many links with other band and Kimura has also links with other bands and Orbitribe. Yes, it's shocking, more when we see Kimura completely removed from the official website, it's like he refused to be said as part of the band from now. Leaving Avex (end of contract ?) means he won't take part in Avex project, m.o.v.e is part of Avex. So they have to change of label or Kimura will only feature tracks or remix them. I think. It's like in a society, you won't work somewhere you don't have contract with or you will be between that society and the client, no ?

So, Yuri give us hope tellin'us "do not worry, m.o.v.e will continue not matter what"... well, thanks Yuri for your words , because this is like a bad joke, first... a brand new album ;D, and then... T-Kimura leaves, Oh my, this socks . Thanks again for the info Mystical, I trust your translation and I can't correct it because I-Don't-Know-Any-Japanese-HUHUHU . Then, she asked for support, well, she doesn't have to ask for support cause every fan here and there are gonna support m.o.v.e for sure . And it's true that we are waiting for a trance new album but if it has a different style, like Deep Calm or DECADANCE, it's OK with me, I just want new material from them as hell. And like spike said, everything is about a contract, if T-Kimura leaves Avex is pretty difficult than he continues working directly with the band. I'm sad again.

Holy crow... all right, Motsu updated on Electropica. THIS IS A VERY VERY ROUGH SUMMARY. I have a very difficult time understanding man-Japanese. Yuri's writing is much easier.
He says that this is all a very emotional thing for everyone. He mentions that it's kind of odd for him, because most people his age go into producing by now rather than being singers. (He does not, however, disclose his real age, as usual.) But he says that this (being a musician) is the path he has chosen, and he intends to continue pursuing it "with all [his] power".
He reminisces about how he and T-Kimura met 17-18 years ago and started working together and how Yuri eventually joined them. He says that as a trio, they laughed and cried together, and were together through good times and bad times.
He says that this change in their group (going from three down to two) was not sprung on them at random, and that it was a mutual decision (so, like Yuri, he respects T-Kimura's decision). He mentions that this album coming out, as well, will reflect this change in their dynamic, but he will wait and see what people think.
He says that, as well as continuing his work with m.o.v.e, he will continue to work hard as a part of Mother Ninja. He says that compared to m.o.v.e's aggressive sound, Mother Ninja is more laid-back, and although that might be risky for his image, he thinks it's a good combination.
He says when he looks back over the years, he can say with honesty, "This life hasn't been so bad."
Then he says that's a risky thing for the eternally-18-year-old Motsu to say! He's not yet reached the zero-milestone, so he'll keep going full-throttle! (I have NO idea what, exactly, this last sentence means, but it certainly sounds rather inspiring. XD; )
I'm sorry my Japanese sucks so bad. XD I'd really like to be able to give you guys something more accurate, but this is the best I can do. *had to use the dictionary... a lot...* m(_ _)m

Hummmm... interesting words from Motsu. Then, now I'm convinced about the new "reality" of m.o.v.e and we'll have the first taste of it with "Humanizer" but, you know, I'm confident with the result, the album is gonna rock . Hey Mystical, you take your time translating and even using a dictionary... Thanks . Greetings everyone ^^.
