Vercingetorix

Bridear guitarist Misa announced on Twitter she is leaving the band next month following their European tour. She cited musical differences with the rest of the band, which was obvious. She was more metalcore, doing the screams and growls, while the rest of the band took its cues from traditional metal like Iron Maiden.
 
 
It's a bummer because she is the one member who speaks English. But they are having fun in Europe none the less.
 

He did ask on FB about instagram and the differences between that and FB. 
 
In case anyone is wondering, he's now working for BMW. 

Those fishing pics were all the proof I needed.

For their 30th anniversary, B'z will release their 20th album, "DINOSAUR" on November 29. Details tba.

犬神サーカス団 (Inugami Circus-dan) will release the new album "黄金郷" (Ogonkyo) on 09/11/16

Looks like me when I tried to do vkei.

Gaijin-kei?

If JaME is to be believed, Mike and Ronnie are actually MASUMI and KeiTaro from HIZAKI's new underlings CROSS VEIN.

make jupiter  great again

Never mind all this crap about declining interest in VK/J-Rock:  a one-man tour by a second-rate symphonic metal band, especially without their star guitarist, was never gonna sell-out. The sympho metal ship sailed sometime back in the late 2000s, and it never really took off in Japan.
 
Maybe B7K should've booked it a two-man tour with one of those identikit melodeath groups.

Anyway, I guess we'll  have to wait and see but that video made me cringe soooo hard (I loled at the narration, tho)

I want that guy to narrate my funeral.

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

@Vercingetorix'daft bint' is the greatest insult I've ever heard. 
 
Anyway, I love the song already and the video looks great. Can't wait to see and hear it in full. Kamijo is so charismatic and fun to watch!!

Did rather sting the ears, didn't it?
For such a raging Francophile, you'd think he might know the correct pronunciation.
EDIT: Turns out the daft bint might just be mispronouncing the romaji "シャトー ".

Fucking "Sha-too agency"
 
WwwHhyY did they bring back that cardboard cutout voice actress from the Revenant Choir????

That was a really interesting advert for shampoo.

@Jigsaw9Looks like the drummer also plays in some group called Hot Rod Kixxs. 
 
 

Oi Közi, you flighty old bastard - any chance you could pick a band and stick with it! Just 'cos the MIZER royalties alone keep your fridge full, that's no reason to keep flitting between projects like you're trying to compensate for Mana's recent drought.
