【Important Announcement】 We regret to inform, but unfortunately due to overlapping health issues during the planned period of recording. The planned 5 / 13 release of Rides In ReVellion's 3rd single 「Seirios」will be postponed. However the scheduled sponsored live for the same day will continued as planned. This decision was made to ensure the best result, as we don't believe in the current state it will give the best result. we apologise to everyone who was looking forward to the release, as well as everyone who has worked hard from until now. We promise to provide the best possible release. Rides In ReVellion members

Just finished the office viewing and business meeting! first of all, the office looks promising. It is a bit derelict, but with some tender love and care....and ALOT of hard work and effort, I am sure it can be made beautiful. just trying to figure out a few last financial issues and what not. but hopefully it all works out. Please keep your requests and lists of what you would like to see on the web shop coming (sending by dm). we want to know what you guys want!

Today we have our first office viewing schedule. this is only a first step, but if it all goes well we will be able to start providing so much more content.

Yes the recent live photos of VIVALET were taken by me. I will try to bring more in the future. Thank you

We will do our best to organize that for you~!

Thank you, I will look forward to your list. As for BLAZE, unfourtunatly faced with their upcoming disbandment I am unsure if they will upload onto iTunes, I will discuss it but probably unlikely. However I will ask them to allow some of their merchandise to be sold on the web shop, including their single release.

Following Hiroki, anybody who has a request or a suggest, please sent me a DM

There has been a bit of a delay with the website as there was some issues with very poor customer service with the web host company we were trying to use. but that's now (mostly) in the past. so hopefully the website will be up soon. and for a announcement, with the website, we also plan to open a webshop that sells band merchandise. of course we plan to provide merchandise from the main bands associated with V STAR, however we are also considering branching out to other bands to provide more variety in the case of the webshop. we cant make any promises, but please feel free to list any bands you would really like to see on our webshop, if possible we will make it a reality (primarily smaller indie bands for the time being)

Download link for Deviloof's free download distribution of "Ishtar" will be announced in the upcoming days

We have officially sent in our first request to view a possible office space. This is a huge step for V STAR PROMOTION as a company, and I would be lying if I said it isn't a big gamble and a risk. But if this works out as planned V STAR PROMOTION will be able to provide much more content and services for vkei fans across the world. But in order for this to work we will need your support. So from now please continue to support us. Let's grow the international vkei community!

Yes! We plan to make standard interviews and in store like live stream events. Having our own office space will also mean more comment video screen currently there is only one live house in Osaka where it's possible to film a decent quality comment video, other than that the only other option is renting a studio which means a charge every time and a time limit. On top of that, having our office space will allow us the opportunity to increase the services we offer. We have some big plans. But it might take some time as we sort out finances

Big news for V STAR PROMOTION another member has joined the V STAR family. A native Japanese whom can speak English. With our new addition we will be able to bring you more content. Currently we are looking into the possibility of renting a small office space in central Osaka. If we are able to do so, we will be able to provide much more content! More comment videos Live streamed videos/interviews And much much more At the moment we are just looking into the financial side as at the moment, all our work is non profit and basically volunteer. But we hope to widen the reach of vkei around the world

At V STAR PROMOTION we strongly recommend bands and artists we work with to make their songs avalible on international iTunes. Please expect it sometime in the near future!

However, perhaps from now if anybody has a critique about Deviloof, or any of the other bands that works with V STAR PROMOTION, I will gladly welcome any direct messages. As much as possible, I would very much like the keep this thread a comfortable place where fans and supporters can discuss.

Thank you for a another well written and crafted opinion. I think what most of the supporters of Deviloof may have a problem with is, as you said yourself, is the 'slander' It never feels nice to have something you like insulted, or spoken of negatively. as a promoter, I like most artists themselves, can take it with a grain of salt. however well crafted opinions can be different and even useful. as for the points of opinions your have mentioned. although I work with the band, I cant say with 100% certainty if they find joy from the music they create, I have my own thoughts and opinions, but this doesn't mean its the way the necessarily think. from what I have seen they work hard, they want to create something, they seem to have a goal in mind. and although their music, may as you put it "appear as if it doesn't come from the heart" to some, this may not be the case for others. I am sure their music, like any music will have different levels of depths and meaning to different people. but as I said, your opinion was very well constructed, so I will take your constructive criticism to the band. It may very well help them grow and develop. Thank you.

I would like to thank you for supporting V STAR PROMOTION! As stated earlier V STAR PROMOTION hopes to work with a range of various artists and bands. That way we will hopefully have something that appeals to as many people as possible. Even if Deviloof is not your taste, I hope you can enjoy one of the other bands we work with and support. Variety is the life of music!

But at the end of the day lets allow the people who enjoy and like Deviloof like them, no matter what their reasons might be. And let’s let those who dislike them dislike them for whatever reasons they might have. Music is debatable; people have different views, opinions, tastes, etc. Even more so with Visual Kei. We are allowed to have our own opinions on what makes good music, what makes good vkei, as we are allowed to have our own opinions on what makes bad music and bad vkei. Let’s support the artists we like, and allow other to support artists they like. Let’s try our best to make this music scene we love as positive as possible.

Thank you for sharing reasoning behind your opinion. and once again, I strongly believe every person has a right to have their own opinion. So I am not in anyway disputing your opinion, saying its completely wrong, or that you shouldn't be allowed to have your opinion. I am simply adding a few additional facts to this issue. -To some people vkei is nothing more than the visual style, and music is additional and can be any type of music, pop, rock, heavy, etc, I have met more than a handful of artists both visual and non visual that have this belief, then even more fans. -Even if Deviloof decided to become vkei for the money (I am not saying this is the case) they wouldn't be the first band to do so, one example is Sid, who went very heavy with makeup and other styling until the started to tone it down once gaining enough popularity (artist growth and development) but their motives are their own, I am not going to discuss as a artist's motives are often something only they can understand. secondly as for their lives and who they play with. granted they do play with non vkei bands, in fact their next upcoming live is with BAND-MAID®, LAST DAY DREAM and 極楽浄土. however they have played with, and have schedules to play with many vkei bands, some examples; Rides In ReVellion, MORRIGAN, BLAZE, CARNIVAL, SHIVA, ARCHEMI, REVINE, MALISEND Just to name a few and also they are taking part in the CROW MUSIC PRESENTS NEW SCREAM CIRCUIT’2016. Once again thank you for expressing your opinion and providing reasoning.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who is supporting Deviloof! At the end of the day, when I decided to start helping Deviloof I was very much aware that they are band that will have people that love them, people that hate them and a smaller majority of people who don’t feel strongly either way about them, more so than any other band V STAR PROMOTION’s works with. The reason V STAR PROMOTION decided to work with Deviloof is to broaden our market, our goal is to have something to offer to as many people with varying tastes in music. And the fact that people have varying and different tastes in music is what this discussion leads to. Everybody has their own taste in music, what one person might think sounds terrible could be a masterpiece to other people, it doesn’t mean that either person is wrong, it also doesn’t mean that the song in question is innately good or bad, it all comes down to personal opinion. This is also the case in defining a music style, music is a vast and ever changing entity. Music never stays the same for long as artists and fans are always thinking of a way to change and develop it further, by this genres of music are also constantly changing and developing. So any genre of music can also be thought of differently by different people, what might be brutal to someone might not just cut it to other, and on the reverse side what might be brutal to some might be too much for others. And there is nothing at all wrong with that. Working with Deviloof, I have faith that they will continue to work hard to grow as artists and that they will try their best to bring new and unique music. It is not always going to appeal to everyone, but that’s music. If you like Deviloof, once again I would like to thank you for your support. If you don’t like Deviloof I value and understand your opinion, but please understand that the people that like them have their reasons and right to do so as well. The same goes in reverse. Thank you.

I will look into the possibility of providing live video in the near future.
