*I'm deaf in my right ear which is why I'm not wearing headphones. I know, it's a bummer not to get the panning sounds. It's also been a bummer to only have one ear my whole life for lots of other reasons, like, playing telephone growing up, I was terrible at it. But, I'll be ok, and I'm getting both channels in the earbud, thanks for your concern :)

Hoooo boy, lots to type. First, you've actually heard most of this album already via the various mixtapes. But having you react to this full album was sort of... I guess I see it as a small gift. I know you dig them but you have trouble getting into them with playlists because of the language barrier. Now you've got a full album you can just put on. Over a few listens, you'll become familiar with the riffs and the melodies, you'll start to anticipate the next track, you'll be able to more easily pick out the snippets of English they sing, you'll hear new stuff every time... you'll get a grip on it and then you'll be golden. At least, I hope this works better for you to become a frequent listener than playlists have. If not, at least I can say I've done all I can. :) Imma go full Daryl and put the rest of the answers in replies to this comment.

On their origin: They definitely came together organically. It was Miku's idea. (She's the rhythm guitarist and backup singer. She's also Cluppo.) She no-bullshit worked at a maid cafe in Japan during school and she had an idea to make a rock band dressed as maids because she liked the contrast of the soft image with the hard sound. Miku found Kanami (the lead guitarist) using some sort of Japanese version of Craigslist. Kanami knew the drummer, Akane, and Akane knew the bassist, Misa. Miku intended to be the lead vocalist but she decided that her voice didn't quite work for the sound they were going for (how mature a decision is that!) and they held auditions for a new singer. That's how they found Saiki.

There is an acoustic version of anemone, but it's hard to find. Definitely not on Spotify or YouTube. But that's it. I think you might be thinking of the song Puzzle? As far as their popularity, they haven't had that superstar viral moment yet. But they have been building an international fanbase slowly through word of mouth and reaction channels. And in Japan they are pretty well known thanks to having several songs used as anime intros. That might all change this year, though. They just played Aftershock, their first American festival performance ever, and they got some good Instagram photo ops with several other acts including Taylor Momson of The Pretty Reckless. And tomorrow they begin a 13-city US tour, playing 1000+ seater venues and most of the shows are sold out. Are they are household name among rock lovers yet? Not quite. Maybe never. But they recently crossed 400k monthly listeners on Spotify for the first time ever. Things are looking up.

I think the Top 3 for me would be One and Only, Rock In Me and either Daydeaming or Anemone (it might be referencing a Sea Anemone perhaps?) and a few runner-ups. They were some of the ones I thought held my attention setting aside the initial language barrier side of things, and I vibed with the lyrics sitting in the groove of the song well overall IMO. I thought that Daydreaming/Anemone did work as a more 'chill' section of the album, but also maybe could be good to bring one of them up a bit in the tracklist to tone shift some of the similar sounding/energy tracks in the middle at the same time. That last track title translation is 'Honey' and its a Bonus track, a cover of a 2012 (?) song by Japanese Rock band 'MUCC'.
