1. | ROMANTIST ロマンチスト ロマンチスト |
This is a live-limited (?) CD featuring a new song, with guest vocalist by EIJI (エイジ) of RYOUKITANTEISHA MACARONI (猟奇探偵社マカロニ). I'm not sure about the release method―PureSound lists its release date as 2004-05-14, and the jacket says it's not for sale. I wonder if it's this [unknown privilege CD][1]? If that's the case, they must have pre-sold [CHAINSAW CHARLYE][2] at a 2004-05-14 live.
This collaboration appeared during the period when ANTI-KRANKE and MACARONI were being produced by UNDER CODE PRODUCTION. This release therefore uses the same cover artist, recording studio, etc., as used in the bands' UNDER CODE PRODUCTION releases. That being said, this release seems to have been organized/published by the band itself, without direct input from KISAKI (although he is thanked in the credits). “031 STUDIO” is credited as manufacturer on the CD, but 031 is in fact the name of ANTI-KRANKE's guitarist, so I suspect that he was the “manufacturer”.
The packaging of this release is somewhat interesting. The CD itself is handmade (the image on the CD being printed from a personal-grade printer), and is inserted into a generic sleeve. The sleeve is sandwiched between two separate pieces of paper (which are sized just a bit bigger than a CD case), on which the cover and back images are printed.
