Even Zin's look at this point is try-hard Kamijo. 

Try-hard Kami? I don't follow - not nearly enough lace.

Maybe they mean "coming later" instead. XD

They've probably had whatever it is recorded for months - 345's been very quiet this year.

Now disbanded.

I call immaculate conception - Mana's God (obvs), Hora's Joseph, KAMIJO can be Herod.

Band to be renamed Y JAPAN.

Guess he got bored of filling DeG's downtime sessioning - not sure why we're predicting DeG's death: we've all heard of L'Arc-en-Ciel and LUNA SEA, right?

(S)he speaks!

Any insinuation that MALICE MIZER were in some way a metal band.

I suspect you can blame Final Fantasy VII for VK's JENOVA-load...

I was dead middle, 2nd row. Looking around the entire middle was full and all sides were also full. The only areas that were empty were way back in the far two corners of the venue.

I was up in N10 and there were empty seats a'plenty up there.

Erm, why would so many people leave between the encores? To catch the last train? Or were they *ahem* paid to attend?

Easy on the conspiracy theories there, sweetheart.

Quite a few of the Japanese there had seniors and/or kids with them, so they were never gonna last the full 3 1/2* hours. Then there was like 15-20 minutes between encores, so other folks must've basically got sick of waiting. Also, it wasn't 100% clear there was gonna be a proper 2nd encore (they were running a bit late and London authorities get seriously bitchy about noise curfews). It was a bit like waiting for the post-credits scene in a Marvel film without the guarantee there was actually one coming.

*4 1/2 hours if you include the film.

Say, how well attended was this show? Anyone knows?

I went - was about 65-70% full for the main set - tons of people left between encores.

Had to double-check it wasn't already on Last Moon.

HEY LATEST NEWS!! Yoshiki just released his new perfume!

 

Ha! It like the man exists to make GACKT's shameless self-commodification look good.

Elsewhere, looks like someone got pissed about Yoshiki getting all the credit for X: http://hayashixdeyama.tumblr.com/

Disqualia ba. MAI will be jumping ship on February 5th due to an increasingly bad case of  stage-fright.

Poor kid said she's been having anxiety symptoms since last fall.

Well whoop-de-doo Basil!
Ironic how the cover is just Yoshiki standing below the word "We" - must mean him and his ego.

Still surprised they've reunited so quickly. I get that Jupiter's hardly been a runaway success, but KAMIJO doesn't seem to be suffering - he could release a single of him just farting into a microphone for 4 minutes and still sell 20,000.

What the fuck is going on with Miro's hair?

Stump? Certainly a step up from those has-beens Zebrahead.

Hora, surely.

^FOR REAL like I've been waiting for it for a long time and they haven't released anything since that first album ;-;

Technically their last release was DVD "ドールズ・コレクション" (Dolls Collection) from summer 2014.

Didn't fancy sticking with Victor then, huh - guess Ettore Rigotti had no involvement this time.

16 days to go - how many more disbandments can they squeeze in?

(Not that I'd even consider listening to most of these bands, but its becoming a spectator sport)

Hasn't he been screeching them for the last few years anyways? :PP

I forget, are old Jojo's high notes better or worse than Juka/Shaura's?
 

I expect high notes and plenty of 'em.
