I became aware of this album not long time ago. I tried to look it up on Wikipedia, Allmusic et al, but in vain. Further research has revealed that it was released on 12.12.2012 to nil reaction, and it remained obscure until very recently.

I can recommend it highly, there's some really impressive stuff on it. Some of it is very proggy, but there are many style elements mixed in, even rap at some point (which is also my least favourite track).

The Japanese band name means something like Miracle Musical, and the mastermind is Joe Hawley.

Enjoyable! Thanks for posting! Reminds me a bit of Phideaux.

Wow, this is really original and unique, some of the most bold progressive pop I've ever heard. What a fun record!

I thought of suggesting it for Progarchives, but I don't really know if it would fit, and I wouldn't know which subcategory.

^ I'm guessing Avant with a nod to Crossover, but it could be a challenging sell.
