Duwang got a reaction from appl- in ザアザア(Xaa-Xaa) new single 「死んじゃったポチの話」 release + DVD LIVE
Of course its great to sell out a venue regardless of size, however, they legitimately sold out bigger venues when Roji was still in the band and before that crazy girl started coming. I don't think they'll ever reach the same level of popularity they had around the time they released 雨に殺される.
I wouldn't go so far as to call them scummy but speaking as a long time fan I don't approve of some of the ways XAA-XAA are selling themselves recently, ie having more instores than lives, raising oneman ticket prices when they're still not a big band, having a 50,000 yen ($500) fanclub trip to Nagano when bigger bands like Royz and Diaura have better trips for around the same price, etc.
I still wish them the best, though.
As for An, yes, he's not as popular as the other three but the old fans have warmed up to him and he has gotten a few more fans besides those who followed him from Elm.
I personally still don't like him but I was a big fan of Roji.

Duwang got a reaction from PIZAZ in ザアザア(Xaa-Xaa) new single 「死んじゃったポチの話」 release + DVD LIVE
Not the exact order but I can tell you what they played
青いレインコート
コワいクライ
死にたい
カミソリ
排水口
大雨警報発令
不感症
青空やめて
人間界からの手紙
雪時計
どす黒い
ピストル
アサガオが泣いてる(but they cut it? It seemed to be on purpose because Kazuki made a joke about it but it was weird)
ラブレター
マザレナイ
感電、けがの恐れがあります x2 (first time normal, second time just instrumental until the chorus and then Kazuki had us do wall of death then the usual mosh)
Encore 1
寄り道
のろいうた
チューリップ
うそつき
Encore 2
反骨ドッグ
(This was definitely unplanned cause the camera crew was already packing up when they came back out. Also about half of the crowd had already left to line up for buppan so everyone was pushing and shoving to get back in. I honestly think that was a bad call on their part.)
Timely paid for the Family Mart radio promos. Dadaroma and Razor also got them for almost all their releases since last fall. Idk how much that really helped them, though. I saw two big changes in the crowd this year, but rather than the radio promo I think it was because they played with Dadaroma, Razor and DOF a lot. There are a lot of Dadaroma fans that started coming from the twoman tour last year and the kaenbin tour this year.
Also no, not every show from the last tour sold out. Both days in Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo and one of the days in Sendai were sold out but for the whole tour they only played at super small venues that hold around 100-130ish people. So yeah, sold out but they only played to a small crowd.
Yesterday was technically "sold out" in that all the tickets were sold but the venue wasn't completely filled. There was a crazy girl who bought 70 tickets and definitely didn't sell all of her extras. The same girl did this shit on Halloween as well which was also "sold out".
XAA-XAA also likes to say lives are sold out when they're not so don't trust them on that. (speaking as a fan)
I've been going to XAA-XAA's lives for almost 3 years and I can tell you with confidence they will never play Belmosaic songs. They have no reason to.
名も無き空へ, however, was originally a song from 6-sense (Kazuki, Reiya and Haru's band before Belmosaic) but I haven't heard them play it since Roji left the band.

Suddenly, this band name makes a lot more sense.

Duwang got a reaction from emmny in new band NEOscience formed
What does not getting a following in the US have anything to do with what Noah does in Japan? lmfao.
I haven't been following the ex-Avanchick guys very closely but I've seen Noah Project play with Amai Bouryoku and Gosan a few times in the past year (maybe late 2017, early 2018?).
I know Noah has a lot of haters and I don't particularly like or dislike him but he hasn't fucked with any yakuza as far as I know so I doubt he's blacklisted.
Even if he was that doesn't really matter cause he's pretty much the co-owner of Club Science. He could just keep playing there.

What. No. lol
He's had his own project (NOAH Project) and has been doing sessions with other bandmen for the past year.

Duwang got a reaction from PIZAZ in -OZ-
I'm surprised no one brought up that this tv program confirmed the 6 year old rumors about Natsuki dating/marrying one of his fans.
They seem to be happy. Good for them.
Also listening to OZ for the first time since the last live and feeling nostalgic. OZ will always be one of my favorite bands.

Duwang got a reaction from PIZAZ in The cost/economics of being in a VK band
Kizu, Dimlim, and Mamireta are all in completely different situations.
Kizu has their own label, but they didn't start from scratch. Lime and Reiki (mostly Lime) were already well established musicians so I doubt money was ever an issue for them.
Mamireta is on a label, Punch Records, which is a sublabel of Forum aka the label Mejibray was on. They are not the only band on Punch records, KRAD is on there as well. Sounds like they self-produced their first two releases and distributed them through Like An Edison before being signed, so I'm gonna assume they pulled money together and/or took out a loan. (Taking out loans is super easy in Japan from what I've heard)
Now money is clearly not an issue.
Dimlim is self-produced. They don't have a label, they do everything themselves and Retsu kind of acts like a leader/manager since Issei got the boot. If you're thinking Ong distribution is their label, it is not. Ong is a distribution company through which arists without labels can put their music in CD shops throughout Japan. Gallo self-produced and distributed their music through Ong for years before being signed by Terakoya.
I'm going to assume they, too, pooled money together/took out a loan when they first started and got a lot of help from Issei who has a lot of band experience.
