This song was chosen to promote the live action Bungo Stray Dogs the Movie: BEAST that was released on the same day as Tokeimawari no Torque's digital release .
Tokei Mawari no Torque is the 3rd song that GRANRODEO has provided to promote the Bungo Stray Dogs franchise after 2018's Deadly Drive & 2019's Setsuna no Ai but I feel this's the duo's weakest sounding song in recent times .
Although it has been weeks since Tokei Mawari no Torque was released digitally , it's still a song I struggle to remember how it sounds like & coming from GRANRODEO , that says a lot as usually the songs they release tend to be memorable after a few listens but that unfortunately does not apply to Tokei Mawari no Torque . That said , GRANRODEO's 9th album Question will be released on 23rd March & Tokei Mawari no Torque will be included in the new album .

The duo's 1st release of 2022 , the A-side was chosen to be used as the opening theme no. for the Saiyuki RELOAD -ZEROIN- anime .
Before the single was physically released , the A-side was 1st released digitally on 7th Jan .
After going back to basics with their previous single Treasure Pleasure , GRANRODEO brought back Oriental influences with Kami mo Hotoke mo which felt like something that was pulled out from their 7th album Pierrot Dancin' .
BEFORE the DAWN served as the B-side in the single . To describe this song as a hot mess is an understatement as melody wise it's literally a kitchen sink & it takes a certain level of appreciating it , if not it's something that should be skipped .
GRANRODEO's 9th album Question will be released on 23rd March & Kami mo Hotoke mo will be included in the new album .

Very6 BEST was the last V6 release before they disbanded last year on 1st Nov , on the same day as their debut .
A video was made for Full Circle but not for Clear .
Both Full Circle & Clear are very different as different musicians created them but between both songs , it's quite evident why Full Circle is the final video that V6 made .
Even though the accompanied Full Circle video could have been more better executed , it's filled with many Easter eggs for longtime fans to spot & have fun with .
After 26 years in the business , the curtains came down on 1 of the most respected Johnny groups & while it's sad that V6 has now joined the ranks of other Johnny groups who also have disbanded ie. Tackey & Tsubasa and SMAP , it's heartening that their music leagacy will continue to live on for many years to come .
