Gt.SHiO is ex-LOVE LOCK, Ba.MST is ex-The DC Also the 5th guy is a support drummer but they never say who :/

Best Cover Art: Marco - 穴二つ (Ana Futatsu) Best Song: Marco - 夕轟 (Yutodoroki) Best EP: Labaiser - Chain of Tragedy (improvement in production quality, along with some stellar songs) Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi) (improvement from their previous releases, with some pretty awesome tracks!! probably their best work by far) Best Look: MERRY - エムオロギー (m-ologie), Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi), Labaiser - Chain of Tragedy Best Newcomer: ガンミ (Ganmi); ヤミテラ (Yamitera); Yumeleep (if they even count as "newcomers") Best PV: MERRY - エムオロギー (m-ologie), Marco - 夕轟 (Yutodoroki) Saddest Disbandment: ELYSION (they came off as the second coming of Megaromania, but they weren't as good and in the end, they ended up flopping anyway...very disappointed about both their musical output & their quick disbandment, but I wasn't really surprised when it was announced.) ガンミ (Ganmi) (short-lived, but gone too soon, they had a lot of potential with their retro 2000s sound...) MARIA’N†ROSA (technically a hiatus, but very short-lived as they also had lots of potential as a symphonic metal band) Most Overhyped Band: R-shitei, Lack-co, RAZOR Most Underhyped Band: Marco, Kalavinka, Crucifixion (although Marco was the same way in the past, the latter two bands' stuff is less accessible but I wish it would be shared somehow, and they deserve far more recognition than they have right now) Most Anticipated Release: Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi), Marco - 穴二つ (Ana Futatsu) Most Disappointing Release: ELYSION - APOTHEOSIS (poor production quality, which was also prevalent in their previous singles) SIRENE - Testament ~I'm Not Diva~ (was expecting this to be a sweet kotekei release judging from Maasa's bands, but it ended up being basic bitch garbage aside from a few tracks :/) Band that Changed their Sound for the Worst: ELYSION (production quality began to deteriorate after their first single & even one of their newer songs is plagiarized) Band that you spent most of your money on in 2017: MERRY, Marco ;w; What the hell were they thinking!? Award: ZIN (Jupiter) & his America-kei project The guy from Rave staging his arrest to promote a single 厨二溺レ死ヌ。(chunioboresinu.)'s brief stint as "ベティ。" (betty.) for like 3 months... Best Revival/Returns: David (Sui solo project) (made up for Lin 2.0's floppage by releasing the amazing, "Requiemage") Megaromania (reunited after 4 years, there's now rumors of a 2018 return and the fact that they were my first vk band, I hope that's true ;w; ) ((I'm sorry this list is kinda biased and limited to only a few bands ;w; ))

Similar to what Ains has done with their bands (sort-of), B.P.RECORDS bands (Royz, コドモドラゴン (Codomo Dragon), 己龍 (Kiryu)) have collaborated to form 3 different "if-bands", and all 3 of their songs (1 for each band) has been available for download on the label's smartphone site, *accessible by fanclub members only... "デンジャラスゾーン" (DANGEROUS ZONE) lineup: Vo.黒崎眞弥 (kurosaki mahiro) (Kiryu) Gt.酒井参輝 (sakai mitsuki) (Kiryu) Gt.華那 (kana) (Codomo Dragon) Ba.meN-meN (Codomo Dragon) Dr.智也 (tomoya) (Royz) "KOTOSHI MO OWARI" lineup: Vo.昴‏ (subaru) (Royz) Gt.九条武政 (kujo takemasa) (Kiryu) Gt.ゆめ (yume) (Codomo Dragon) Ba.公大 (koudai) (Royz) Dr.遠海准司 (tokai junji) (Kiryu) "ガニメデ" (Ganimede) lineup: Vo.ハヤト (hayato) (Codomo Dragon) Gt.杙凪 (kuina) (Royz) Ba.一色日和 (hiyori isshiki) (Kiryu) Dr.チャム (chamu) (Codomo Dragon)

I looked this band up just the other day and thought this would happen soon...

jpoopasia is such a fucking farce, just as bad as shattered tranquility and all these other overseas "news sites"

interesting~ does this band even have a band pic?

bullshit like this makes me wanna drop out of college, like...seriously 😐🔫 update: things got settled. i'm glad luck is usually on my side. i need some alcohol.

WHAAA literally had NO idea this guy was married :OOO adds a lot of layers in this already fucked-up story

BRATBAX have posted their new look below; furthermore, shinpei (ex-SuG) will perform as a support member starting in January. They will also hold their second anniversary event, "BRAT's FES" for 5 consecutive months starting on January 23. Schedule is under the spoiler.

♥♥♥

The same Twitter account also had a screenshot of one of Setsuna's tweets that basically said he "will be one" with Uran; he then deleted it afterwards as it can no longer be found on his profile. Just kinda surprised it took this long before we got any news of a bandman being involved in something like this...

hoooly shit and as 2017 comes to a close, here's the most wacked out story of the year!

Also - Just found this in the archives of Geese Purple's OHP - this was the band Rei & Rutta formed years before Marco formed.

support Gt.YU-TA (ex-暴徒教團666-six-) has become an official member of Black TeaR since their live on December 8. They will also hold their first oneman live on February 28 at Bigtwin Diner Shovel.

THE NOSTRADAMNZ is scheduled to release their new album on May 15; the song "Lilly" (below) will be included. They will also hold their first oneman live on April 8 at Shinjuku FNV.
