ALI PROJECT have just released their most recent album titled, “Soubikakei” (Rose Crucifixion) earlier this week. The limited edition copy includes a promotional poster with the album’s release date displayed, a beautifully alluring digipack case, a music video to “Seishoujo Ryouiki” — opening to Rozen Maiden Träumend, and a “Gothic Lolita” inspired photoset of the lovely and talented Takarano Arika — yes, the whole gosurori style and fashion is just one of my many weaknesses I have to admit. There are twelve tracks on the new album, most of which were previously released Rozen Maiden-related singles, but that works out perfectly fine for me having not bought most of the character drama CDs. The two-piece group is expected to put out 2 new singles later this Spring: “Ankoku Tengoku” (OP to Kamichama Karin) and “Hizamazuite Ashi o Oname” (ED to Kaibutsu Oujo) — which you can listen here. Some photos after the jump…
