Japanese Alt-rock Visual Kei band Misui dropped their second full album, “Seimeisen,” on March 26, 2025. Channeling pain, sadness, and despair, Misui presents a well-balanced album that creates a musically cathartic experience.
“Seimeisen” features 11 tracks, including the promotional song “…Ah, Buzama” and the singles released since their signing to PARAGUAS inc. in 2023: “Nennen korori,” “Bai bai mahi,” “Ichibanboshi ni negau koto,” and “Aizuchi.” The album also includes a DVD compiling the music videos for the five aforementioned songs. A special bundle with the CD and a small towel is available for purchase worldwide through the official online store.
Ranging from dark piercing tones to impactful catchy melodies, Misui captures the vibe of old-school Visual Kei while remaining fresh and modern. This album promises a diverse range of styles that roar louder than their previous works.
The composers, guitarist Amane and drummer LANA, commented on the album:
This second album, compared to our first one, “Shinibasho,” introduces even more powerful elements to showcase a different Misui. I composed these songs with the intention of having a sound that catches attention. The lead track “…Ah, buzama” demonstrates how powerful Misui has become since our early days. It also includes some previously released songs. The tracklist order was carefully arranged, creating an amazing flow, so it all comes together as one complete work. Please make sure to listen to the tracks from the first song to the last, in order.
— Guitarist Amane
The image I had in my mind was delivered by the five of us and it turned into two amazing tracks. Rather than just integrating a specific scene, melody line, or creating a catchy song, I was able to produce tracks that express the essence of Misui, as well as my own style.
— Drummer LANA
Misui continues to expand across more areas of Japan, building a growing fanbase through their intense performances and heart-wrenching music.
