RuPaul's Drag Race beckons.

Girls metal band Disqualia will release the mini-album "right NOW" on 07/12/16. Like Cyntia, they've joined Aldious and RAMI on the VAA bandwagon. Tracklist is TBC.

Sounds kinky.

Due to CROSS VEIN singer JULIA's ongoing thyroid troubles, she'll only perform one song with the band at HIZAKI's Grace Metal Halloween Event on 28/10/16. Jupiter's ZIN will cover the rest of the set.

He's apparently voicing a minor character in the series.

GACKT will release his 47th single "キミだけのボクでいるから" (Kimi dake no boku de iru kara) on 23/11/2016. Before anyone gets too excited, the single's only song has already been released on "LAST MOON" - there will be a new MV made for it, though.

They're like VK's answer to Megadeth or Cyntia.

Wow, 2016's been as shit for the Japanese industry as the US & UK's... hang in there, PATA!

MORRIE's eyes in that poster...that man is one sexy bastard.

和楽器バンド (WagakkiBand) singer 鈴華ゆう子 (Suzuhana Yuko) will release a solo mini album on 23/11/16. Because WagakkiBand's management seem to be following Yasushi Akimoto's sales strategy, avex are putting out 5 editions. Tracklist is TBC.
