Chedoara (stylized as CHEDOARA) is the second studio and first full length album by the Japanese band Dimlim, released on August 8, 2018. The promotional video for "Vanitas" was released on June 2, 2018[1] and the promotional video for "Aizou ni Tsuki" on August 1, 2018.[2] Due to great demand and its two-month sell-out, the album was relaunched on December 23, 2018.[3]
Recording[edit]
A demo version of the track "Malformation" was recorded in November 2017, but the band started working seriously on the album in March 2018. The last adjustments were made at the last minute according to an interview with Gekirock.[4]
Critical reception[edit]
Chiaki Fujitani, of Gekirock, said that it is "[...] a work full of ambition and self-confidence, which not only seems alive, but also symbolizes a more expressive power. [...]"[5]
The album peaked at the 194° position on the Oricon charts.[6]
