They're so cute!! And it's crazy how many songs they had for their one-man!

The Tra members used to post blogs on a weekly basis with each member taking a turn every Thursday.
Starting from this year, they've decided to just update the blog whenever they felt like it!
Omi said he'll probably be posting a lot cos he just has a lot to say I guess. 
 
Here's their blog if you're interested!
http://lineblog.me/tratratra/
 
Even if you can't read Japanese, they usually post some pictures. <3
 
One of these days I'll get around to translating all of them haha

Time to start listening to them!!!! lolol

^ the jishuban bonus DVD only has the live clip for the track オコサマジック (title track of their upcoming single)
 
the other 2 live clips can only be procured if you buy their new single at the following physical stores:
※Fukuoka Shintencho Indo - DVD with live clip of "Blue flame"
※Hiroshima Magical Square - DVD with live clip of "Are you Crazy?"
 

Just watched this out of curiosity because I don't listen to this band, he is cute! And he have lots of energy lol

NEWCOMER BAND: THE NOSTRADAMNZ

 
 
 
NEWCOMER BAND: NEiN

 
 
 
 
RE-START BAND: NEXTRADE

 
 
 
 
スゥイート×ホォム( Sweet x Home)

 
 

NEWCOMER BAND: DEVIZE 
メリーバッドエン (MERRY BADEND)
 

 
 
 
 
RE-START BAND: 麗麗-Reirei

 
 
 

シュヴァルツカイン (Schwarzkain)

 
 
 
 
THE DOGGY PADDLE

 

So it's end of the year best-of list time, and I wanted to get involved... but I realized with more and more streaming of music rather than mp3s, and more and more me being lazy and not really listening to as much new stuff as I should: my best of 2016 list would be incomplete and hard to make because what I've been listening to isn't as easily organized by year in Spotify.
 
But I'm a narcissist who still wanted to get in on the fun and write *something* so I decided to highlight some of my favorite, or at least notable for one reason or another, looks from the VK world in 2016. Visual is in the name after all! I know hipsters, such as myself, say that the looks don't matter and it's all about the music, man... but I'll freely admit even though I'm not looking at a picture of the band for 98% of my listening to them, the aesthetics matter and part of the reason I like VK is that I enjoy looking at pretty boys in elaborate costumes rather than bearded dudes in black tshirts.
 
With that in mind here is my partially tongue-in-cheek but also I seriously thought about it 10 Notable VK Looks of 2016:
 
 

Garak’s Vocalist ジュリ

I call this the James Dean x Jesus.
 

Insanity Injection Vocalist Kyouka

Because of that YouTubers react video, this look may be the VK shot heard ‘round the world. “Looks like Kerrigan” is pretty accurate shorthand for Kyouka’s possessed crab/snake cannibal spirit costume that is almost elaborate enough to explain what the hell he’s been doing for the last ten years.
 

ペンタゴン Bassist Minpha

The kawaii-ness is undisputed around these parts… I’m embracing dark Minpha and his crown of demonic scallop shells.
 

乙女国家 Band

I know it’s a VK trope, but I seriously like it when band members all pick a different color and just commit. I’m never going to learn their names, so it helps to just be able to reference “the yellow one who borrowed some gloves from Ensoku’s This is a Pen PV”. Also for anyone else who’s been there: was this photo taken at the ramen ‘museum’ (read: food court) in Yokohama?? It kinda reminds me of that spot.
 

Doak Band

As a rapidly balding dude, I appreciate when even fake-baldness gets some shine in VK. Shout-out to the dude from Codoma A!
 

Avelcain Vocalist Karma

I bow at the altar of Avelcain… and I’m on the record as loving black-suit-wearing VK looks. Add some fucking palpable *zetsubou* and a sword for no real reason!?? I’m sold.
 

Elysion Band

They get my vote for best golden age Matina cosplay of the year. I saw them in June and there was just tons of vinyl and straps and lace and bare thigh and a frilly white dress and… there’s no joke here they just had an awesome/classic look. I don’t even remember what they sounded like, but I remember thinking their outfits and makeup had to take hours to get right before the show.
 

Lack-co. Vocalist Tenten

What you thought I wasn’t going to include this transcendent “it’s coming in nice” puberty mustache dyed red?? You don’t know me very well. He’s got some sort of black sequin freckles happening too for some Annie vibes.
 

Nihilizm Band

Just a look that I think really kills. Those red lace blindfolds are just cool IDK. The member with the bob is a cutie.
 
ギャロ Vocalist Jojo

I always love Jojo’s extremely sparkly lipstick…. And in this video (and others this year) he wins the award for most dangerously low-rise pants in VK. Got them side abs! I also don’t really understand his fork hat, but fuck it if you can’t get weird in VK where can you?
 
Close but no cigar: Hollowgram's grown up/understated black looks, vocalist from More's curls and one satyr horn, Plastic Tree vocalist pushing the bounds of how cool he can make cutting his own hair look
Purposefully Omitted: The Black Swan blackface, any boring not-quite Kamijo look
 
Let me know why I'm wrong and what should have been on this list!

I've literally downloaded the video and have been watching it on loop all night <3333

Holy shit dat chorus

I told myself this year I wasn't going to spend as much money on VK as last year and I was actually going to save money for my Japan trip... It's January 11th and I'm already failing.

I bought 4 Purple Stone CDs and Anfiel's new single (Lamplight=melody), and somehow came out with a bunch of free shit o_o
Thank you Zeal Link! <33333

Maybe they were more thinking along the lines that they would be able to share their world tour experience with the Japanese fans who couldn't go abroad to see them? To me, the art seems more like it's showing how a Japanese band can take the world by storm *shrugs*
