JILUKA made several announcements after finishing up their 5th anniversary one man at TSUTAYA O West. We don't have a lot of details but the DVD is set to be released in May and the Mini album is set for October. Additionally JILUKA has annouced they will perform Overseas for the 1st time ever in May November. No other details have been announced. Setlist for the 5th anniversary one man and possible DVD setlist.

Sad/shocking to see. I really liked seeing the unity and longevity in bands like Merry and MUCC when other younger bands rotate through members like every few weeks. Anyway, I'm happy to see the band continue on. I've been very happy with their music. Even when I'm not fully on board with a release initially, I've always eventually gotten around to loving it. I think they really should seek a replacement. The duel guitars is something that I always felt was very strong in this band compared to most other bands and I can't imagine Merry without someone else in that position.

虹彩☆RaveL will disband this March after playing one more live in Tokyo and Osaka. More details will follow soon. I will update all details later on vk.gy. Please wait a little bit more until I receive more details officially! thanks : 3 ___ Own comment; I already expected this happen since last year; almost no lives; no design requests etc. Also fans suggested that they will disband soon since September or so.. So for me it doesn't come as a shock to.. I was waiting for it...

Such a bummer. I doubt there's anything dramatic behind it though, he's probably just sick of the band life after two decades. Can't really blame him. I can't imagine Merry with a brand new member after all this time, but I also can't see how they'll keep playing their old material with just one guitarist. Maybe they'll just hire a support member.

Their 1st minialbum スケアクロウ-1 (SCARECROW-1) will be released at their live on 20.03.2020 for a price of 2500yen. Tracklist: 1.蜘蛛の糸 (kumo no ito) 2.感傷教育 (kanshou kyouiku) 3.「ぬけがら」 (nukegara) 4.トラウマ (trauma) 5.-存在証明- (-sonzai shoumei-) 6.君の桜が咲く頃に。(kimi no sakuragasaku goroni.)

I just want to go home and listen to all Kenichi's songs on repeat... Jigsaw's onto something with his sparse credits on recent albums, but still I was not ready for this. I can't even imagine Merry without Kenichi. I hope he finds happiness and the band continue being strong - they've been through so much!

this is heartbreaking 😞 I haven't been feeling their music for quite a while now, I'm still hoping they can push through this.

bitch what the fuck....:( 💔

congrats @ booking russia, p sure good sisters will sell it out we all know they abandoned VK because russian mitsu in tokyo cut off dumb leech that is Retsu sorry to burst ur bubble!!!

After being a longtime lurker, I decided to make an account. I've been a VK fan since around 2008, when I was 11. I kinda got out of it for a while but recently got back in after rediscovering all the music I listened to when I was a kid. Some of my faves are the Gazette, BUCK-TICK, Lareine, Versailles, Kamijo, Malice Mizer, early 90s LUNA SEA, cali gari, etc etc. I'm also a huge sucker for that old school Key Party aesthetic. Nice to finally be a member here. Thank you all for the laughs you've given me since I discovered this forum one fateful morning whilst looking for bandomen tea 🙏

second track is revealed as "Miserytail -proto-"

ex-DAMY Vo.椋 (Ryo) solo project "鴉-カラス- (Karasu)" has formed. http://karasu-web.com/

Soooo MERRY just announced that Kenichi (guitars) will be leaving the band in May 2020. A final tour is in the works as five-piece. Afterwards, MERRY will continue with four members (no word yet on whether they will recruit a support or fulltime 2nd guitarist). Announcement on YT: Message from the band: Jesus, this sucks... they've been practically together without any member changes for almost 20 years... Hoping for the best!

Strange, in my opinion the Berlin performance was so much better than the one in Dortmund. Kyo and Toshiya were on fire today! At the Dortmund show Kyo looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. But today his screams and his acting was awesome IMO. TWoM was intense!

Yeah fucking new age culture. Btw shoutout to the purple haired midget retard for ruining the pit for that song with his bullshit.

The old albums had that info in the booklets iirc. I don't have my MERRY CDs with me at the moment so I just quickly ran through that one lyrics translation site, it has the composition credits for everything that is known I guess (probably also taken from the albums' booklets?). Also yeah, it's weird to imagine the band without Kenichi... I just hope both him and the band will find their ways that will make them happy.

Randomly decided a few weeks ago to go vegan. I've slipped up a few times and did vegeterian instead because I was just too lazy to go grocery shopping, but man honestly I dont feel like I'm missing out on much. I feel the exact same as before (which was usually pretty good lol)

Your twitter account closed 😵 Vocalist is ex GCMZｰガチマジｰ https://twitter.com/voice_yuma_0120?s=20

Maybe he wasn't feeling them either... I don't know about the last mini album and the full-length, but before those the number of Kenichi's songwriting credits were on a steady decline from album to album as far as I could see.

I haven't really been feeling most of their recent releases AT ALL but this still fucking sucks Hope they'll pull a cali gari and keep on trucking even in spite of the lineup change (or alternatively like @nekkichi said recruit sb who can give em some extra oomph)

title of their new maxi-single has been finalized as "カラクリリック" (Karacrylic ?) and it will be released at 2020/03/10 (3 types) Limited edition A & B (1800yen each) will include CD and DVD Regular edition (1500yen) will include CD only

Not to be a bad person but I've always hated Gianism. They could burn me for saying this but swap those 3 Gianism Shichi for Nazuki, Mind Ocean and Dasei Boogie pls (and Criminal Baby cuz it's criminal to not have Criminal Baby in any compi)

CucksT

Just remembered conditional disbanding was a thing some time ago but I don't see it much anymore. Can we consider it already banned then? I'm also adding to the list that one member that goes missing instead quitting the band like a decent person. Because I'm still bitter about what happened to Yusai.

Can't wait to see a low-res photo of the cover art a week after release! jk, looking forward to the single~

Dumbasses thinking that they can get away with smoking Weed and then getting caught... This ain't the US. Stop it.

2 re recorded songs across 5 CDs. Great job.

Looking forward to it ! Their first single is a banger

Damn, this is a Yoshiki-level announcement. And really, just 3 videos? It's as if someone in Sony / Danger Crue / band's management think that uploading all of the videos are going to cannibalize the PV DVDs or something.
