Vercingetorix

So, is this 'collaboration' (can't believe it's being marketed as such) with Miku the ol' KAMI's attempt to reach fresh audiences, or did all the human singers he approached for a duet turn him down?

KAMIJO & Hatsune Miku maxi-single, "SANG -Another Story-" will be released on March 21 in two types.
 
Limited edition (2000 yen) will come with special cover artwork with 3D printing.
Regular edition is 1500 yen. Tracklists are the same from what I can see atm.
 
Other than that, there's no real difference between both editions...

Taking the definition of "solo" a bit literally, aren't you?

Former Aldious singer Rami is releasing her second "solo" album (I put it in quotes because unless you play every instrument, you aren't really solo), "Reloaded" on January 31. Her band consists of ex-Disqualia guitarists Narumi and Hazumi, bassist Fin, and ex-Disqualia drummer Risa Risa.
 
Track list:
 
01． Reloaded
02． Black Symphony
03． Moonlight
04． After History
05． Never Say Never　
06． Realize
07． Plunder 　　　　
08． Riding the World 　　 　
09． Get Freedom　
10． Reloaded ～Crystal Memory
 
First audio clip. Damn Fin is loud in the mix.

Iori from Magistina Saga: her vocals are as flat as the band's songwriting.

Another KAMIJO success story.

tfw they couldnt dig up klaha's embalmed corpse for this

Guess they couldn't harness the power of the Schwartz...
 

Trying to find their name on that flyer is like playing where's Waldo. Literally took me 5 minutes.

The all-girl power metal band Cyntia announced an "indefinite hiatus," which is basically another way of saying they are breaking up.

It seems guitarist and band leader Yui has suffered from focal dystonia, a neurological condition, in her arm. That's about the last place a guitarist needs a problem. If she can't recover, then the band is definitely toast.
 
As it is the band has been largely inactive, mostly due to Yui's condition. Some bad career decisions didn't help. They made a great metal album in 2014, called Limit Break. Then they went total pop in 2015 with Woman, a total misfire. They tried to bounce back last year with Urban Night but the damage appeared to be done. They have yet to replace drummer Kanoko, who left in 2015.
 
I just can't get over the terrible health of jrockers. So many musicians stepping down from bands due to one health problem or another. Seems we have an announcement every week here.

(Yeah, sorry, that first reply was a tad first-year Lit student)
Basically, I reckon she's been pressured by the obsession with 'keeping things in the family' many Japanese businesses have to ditch the music career. Wouldn't surprise me if her family saw her music career as an extended 'gap year' between graduating and joining the family firm.

Featuring Kaya?

Going on recent form, it may be just the one L'Arc tune to go with the 3 months of overblown promo.

The wig with the chin-strap was always a personal fave.
 

Kinda wish a few more VK dudes were out and about, if only to satisfy my irrational curiosity.
I have this vision of peak VK being like '80s UK synthpop, where like 90% of anyone good was gay/bi.

Those fishing pics were all the proof I needed.

Interesting(ish?) announcement about everyone's favorite sentient waxwork.
He also just endorsed a new line of dresses from dazzy called MARGARET NOCTURNE... (alas, no new CM song)
