I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
The other day Alice Nine released a PV for GEMINI I. And I was tentatively excited for it. Until about 5 seconds into watching it. Now I am obsessed with GEMINI, have been for all of its 10 years, it is my Bohemian Rhapsody, and I love Part 2 the most. I always wished there were 3 videos for each part but now that we have another video I wish it didn't exist. I think it is inferior to GEMINI-0 is every way, from the song's arrangement to the band's look to the PV overall. This arrangement is apparently taken from a re-release Aniversary album so I assume all songs on it are re-arranged. I love the boys, even though I already accepted that their best music is in the past, but this re-writing is tarnishing their legacy for me.
I really wish the artists wouldn't do this. I get that they want to reinvent themselves and have every right to tweak their older works but in my opinion, from Gackt re-recording all the songs with his new weirder voice by the time the PV collection DVD came out to Hyde doing Nostalgic as a pale shadow of Roentgen and Alice Nine rerecording their songs for the 15th Anniversary Best Album... so far every artist that's done that has done themselves a disservice.
I can take rehashing, Gackt has pretty much done nothing but remaking his own music after Diabolos but please, leave the old works be.
