new PUNCH RECORDS band "IIIRD" (Third) has formed and they will appear at Cure World Visual Festival 2019 at 新木場STUDIO COAST on April 28. They are described as "passionate, depressive metal", so they better be good. 🙏 More info will be revealed on February 2... OHP

They make their bands look and sound cheap, especially established bands who were once popular in the scene before signing with them.

Jack Caper are now recruiting a new guitarist with extraordinary qualities: -Male -Over 60 -Ok with wearing makeup -Beginner is ok

As it says in the video (the tiny print in the corner), Missa will also distribute a USB that contains a rerecording of their song, "Psycho池" to the first 33 attendees of their first live.

They're not that new, but Marco and Labaiser are two young bands that I've been obsessed with lately; they're bringing back that old-school punk rock and church-kei synthy mess realness, respectively, that I enjoy so much. David is also another new project that I've enjoyed recently, but I was bound to like that anyway since it's Sui. I've also taken a liking towards Rands (although I've never cared for AvelCain), Doremi Fa (the ashes of #LOST WORLD), and Mathilda, but I'll admit I've been too lazy to try more newer groups. I also liked Zigzag for a bit, but as colorful-jinsei said, I hated their drastic change of sound when they abandoned their metal sound for something more fanservicey and similar to their previous bands. 😕 As for newer bands that are fresh out of the womb, I'm eager to hear more from L'eveil en Roseraie, which sounds like Juka-era Moi dix Mois - I have a feeling that project is gonna be epic, if they don't end up releasing only venue-limited stuff or disbanding in the next couple of months 🙏

More info of their tour can be read here: ^ Further discussion will be moved to this thread.

Ray stated on his twitter that Makoto wanted to work with him, so that's why he's there. I think he's only there for the music video, not actually participating with Missa. edit: yall literally disregarded this & are making it sound like he's actually with the band. if you don't believe me, he literally said he was there for the MV

I love happy endings ♥
