History

Aisenshi serves as a spiritual successor to their previous project Animetal. Sakamoto claims that the spirit of what "Animetal" comprised has not died, but has since become more soulful and sorrowful, with the anime theme song covers they will perform now having such a tone to them.[2] In an interview with Beeast, Sakamoto said that he had decided to reform Animetal with She-ja after the popularity of Animetal USA and after he had enjoyed performing on his solo project Eizo Japan, both in Japan and internationally.[3] One of their first reunion concerts on June 29, 2013, at Osaka's Shinsaibashi Club Alive was met with praise, with the group performing both new tracks off of their album Heartstrings, released on June 5, 2013, as well as songs from their old Animetal repertoire and an original song "Homura" (焔, lit. "Flames of Passion"),[4] that the band plans on releasing as a single on December 10, 2013.

The band's members, aside from Sakamoto on vocals and She-Ja on guitar, include Gusty Bombs' bassist HIRO, Animetal's former drummer KATSUJI, and JUHKI from the dōjin music circle "IRON ATTACK!".

gollark: The best way to describe the problem is probably that it's just generally very hostile to abstraction.
gollark: I resent it somewhat, because while Go has very cool *libraries* and such, and the tooling at least seems to work nicely even if it's somewhat insane, the language is really unpleasant.
gollark: Why not copyright in general?
gollark: I've messed with Codex for a few things, and it's *generally* quite capable of matching my particular style of programming if it has a big sample of it to start with.
gollark: Just prompt it better.
