You beat me to it.

The footage used for this live digest is recorded by V STAR

Announcing our first guests.

Azlina

tune in on the 7th of March, at around 10:30pm Japanese time to catch the show!
(please be aware that 10:30 is a estimated time as Azlina has a concert prior to the live stream)

V STAR is happy to announce our new project.

In store style live streaming events!

Hosted by John (formally Mew) ex guitarist of the band BLAZE.

In Japan it is common practice for bands to hold what's called a instore event, where fans of the band can attend a local music store, ask the band members questions and then watch the bands play a event or put on some sort of show.

We at V STAR PROMOTION want to create a similar experience for international visual kei fans.

So from now we will run trial programs of our Instore Live Streams!

For now the live streams will be hosted on youtube live from the V STAR PROMOTION office in Osaka Japan.

You can ask your questions live on the youtube chat box.

Stay tuned for updates and news about our upcoming streams and guests.

Ex. BLAZE guitarist Mew has changed his name to John and has become a member of the V STAR PROMOTION staff.

He will be helping and doing various different projects as part of V STAR PROMOTION!

Also please be sure to follow John's new twitter @jo_hn95 to keep up to date with his work and projects!

【V STAR STAFF】

V STAR PROMOTION is happy to welcome ex. BLAZE guitarist Mew, now known as John to the family.

Everybody please warmly welcome John!
He will be helping and doing various different projects as part of V STAR PROMOTION!

I wonder if this video was pre-Keisuke. The vocals just aren't the same. Not to mention that haircut ... !

i was wondering about this too, the vocalist seems nothing like keisuke... if it is him, i'm going to be amazed

I'm not 100% certain

but I am pretty sure it isn't Keisuke, furthermore it's also unlikely that the bassist is Daiki.

edit: I just found the video on youtube, the publish date was in early/mid 2013 and if my years are correct that was when Keisuke was in another band

so it's not him in that video

I found some really old video of them(from back when they were called ALL MUST DIE)

How long were they "ALL MUST DIE?" Can't find hardly any info. on them from then.

Its a common misunderstanding, but not all members were originally part of ALL MUST DIE.

only Keisuke, Hiroto and Daiki.

and beyond that Hiroto was the only orginal member of ALL MUST DIE.

with the lineup including Keisuke Daiki and Hiroto I think they played for around a year and a half.

One last question is this the next live they'll be having?

 

 

Yes that is their next oneman live.

it's a male only live, and as I am female staff I am currently unsure on if I will be attending.

 Awe man. Can you post it here? Or somewhere that let's you post it in full?

I will ask the band for permission then see what I can do

42 minutes ago, sume7 said:

 

Thanks that would be great. Could you possibly record their unreleased songs specifically like the ones I mentioned above? Egoist, LOVER, サクラ (Sakura), HERO=MURDER (You already did this one. Although a full version would be nice) , and VENOM (NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST cover).

 

I will see what I can do!

on a side note I did record and process the entirety on HERO = MURDER 

but I think Twitter has a limit so it was cut short

hey did the live PV that was rumored about on the other deviloof topic ever end up happening? i think it was at ryuya's last live, the one where you were in america for RiR?

Unfourtunatly it didn't end up happening.

58 minutes ago, sume7 said:

 

True

 

Btw @patientZERO Can you get Deviloof tereko's in the near future or do you already have any by chance? I believe you said you were at their one man.

Trying to get tereko at a visual kei live could risk getting a person kicked out.

but if you search Instagram or Twitter you can sometimes find live Deviloof recordings from their more metal based concerts.

However in the future I will try to do more recordings like the recording I did of HERO = MURDER filmed at the countdown live

.And if Ray is helping at the creation process,he is not inferior to ryuya and got more experience,so new elements might be added

I personally am a huge supporter of Ray.
I have known him for a year now as he has been support guitarist for another band I work with and in that time he has consistently proven himself to be extremely hard working and vastly talented.
His vocal work is also quite good, and is improving, so that is a extra bonus.

In my opinion Deviloof will be very lucky to get him if he does eventually join full time.

I know Ryuya was and still is very popular in the fanbase, but everyone please welcome Ray as well <3

I still haven't heard many details about the album as of yet.
Bus I do know some work has started on it, I have already checked and twerked some English lyrics.

From my perspective, Deviloof is still growing as a band, I expect them to try a few new things in the album but I think they will still maintain the same intensity they are known for throughout it all.

But I am sure it will be another great release.

the guy on the right side,is he support or official?
he is very energetic,i like him

2 hours ago, itsukoii said:

 

if you're talking about from the live clip, that's Ray, he's just their support guitarist until they find an official member

Ray is a busy boy!

he plays support in another band as well, and also does vocals in his own band.

he is very talented and hard working, I personally would like to see him become a official member.

Additionally all of those photos were taken by me.

I can usually organise the sale of limited CD's for MORRIGAN.

however this time may be more difficult considering the stipulations.

however I will see what I can do anyway.

Hello everyone.

The flower display plans are well underway.

we are now taking donations, if you are interested in making a donation please send my a private message a do will tell you how to do so.

our goal is 30,000 yen

which is somewhere around $300

if we do not reach that goal I will fill in the remaining amount, if we reach over the goal I will allow the fans to discuss and decide on a additional useful gift to buy.

also everybody who donates will have their name written on a board.

Hello everyone.

There are a few important dates coming up for Rides In ReVellion next month.

But first, this month on the 12th is Nagisa’s birthday, it is sort notice, but if you or any of your friends would like to handwrite or draw a picture for Nagisa, take a photo and email it to me I will forward them to him on his birthday.

But as for next month there are a few big things

8th December – Ame’s birthday

19th December – TaJI’s birthday

28th December –  4th single release

29th December – 2nd oneman live

Of course, like Nagisa, and KuRo earlier in the year I will take handwritten notes of pictures to forward for TaJI and Ame.

If you have something else in mind, please dm me so we can discuss.

And for the one man, if enough people are interested I would like to organize a flower arrangement display at their concert.

These are common practice in japan, at a important live (birthday, one man, etc) the fans will put their money together to purchase a flower display which will be at the entrance of the venue on the day of the event.

If enough people are interested I will look into prices.

is anyone willing to provide a translation for this? ♡

 

 

 

 

Basically at the moment, the members of Deviloof especially Keisuke are dealing with a pair of stalkers who have been causing trouble and generally harassing them for a little over the last month.

this is them polity requesting to stop the harassment otherwise they will need to involve the police.

So who all went to see RiR at AnimeUSA Saturday? What did you guys think??

 

Some highlights for me:

- Pro stage/sound. I'd never been to a show at an anime convention and was worried they'd end up playing under fluorescent lights without proper mixing.... thankfully not the case. (the giant screens on either side of the stage playing videos/the stage definitely added legitimacy)

- The crowd flipping the eff out when RiR played a cover of 残酷な天使のテーゼ / Cruel Angel's Thesis from Evangelion (fun that the boys gave a nod to the crowd they were playing in front of with an anime theme)

- Kuro's introduction of the rest of the band (esp: "quiet... fuck you!" and "very very very very very arrogant guitarist Taji")

..........

 

I saw four people wandering around with V-Star shirts on.... Was our friend @Suuuthe one rocking sunglasses in the club/taking the band/crowd photo at the end??

 

 

the sound and light guys worked very hard to make the set up perfect, it took some time, but in the end we were able to get the perfect sound and lighting thanks to their hard work.

that was a good decision on the half of the boys, they wanted to play something that even people not fans of their would recognize and enjoy.

KuRo tried his best with English throughout the entire weekend, but he did like the F word, also on a side related note he actually said elegant not arrogant, but i can understand the misunderstanding.

yes that was me in the sunglasses, usually I wouldent wear sunglasses in such a situation, but I had a issue with my eye, sorry.

LMFAO. Ame was just like :DDD :))) :DDD :))) :DDDDDDDD the entire time, I loved it. The numerous times he flipped his drumstick and dropped it was very cute.

 

This was one of the best concerts I've been to. They were so good! I remember leaving with a sense of fulfillment because this trip to see them was worth every blow to my bank account. <3

They were better in concert than the GazettE were when I flew to New York to see them.  I didn't make it to any of their panels, but I heard people talking about them in passing and it seemed like they were well received. I loved the casual interactions they had with con-goers/fans as they roamed around the convention. I met Taji when I finally found the VStar table and then later saw Kuro, Ame, and Suuu by the escalators and they were all very nice and awesome. 

Everyone who was with VStar were very nice and helpful despite my constant questions. There was one girl in particular (who's name I never got) that was very patient and friendly. I somehow lost both of my photo passes and had a meltdown about it but then I found her in the artist alley area and told her what happened and  she assured me it was okay because they recorded everyone's names down (which was a superb idea for dumbasses like me who lost their passes). So thank you, girl-who's-name-I-dont-know and thank you @Suuufor you and your team brining RiR to the states!!!

Ame is a very happy drummer~!

I am glad the concert was worth you long travel and the cost.
I'm also glad that my staff handled your photo session issue so well.

Thank you for coming and supporting RiR
