Hello! That's awesome! I've never been over for gigs ...I wouldn't know where to start (I've looked at the guides and it seems a complete headache!). I am trying to persuade friends to go over for next year but to little avail yet.  We should keep in touch for sure !
 

At lynch.'s countdown show last night, Akinori appeared during the encore, and after an apology, announced he will be returning to the band.

This single is now their best selling single. It's also charted longer than any of their previous singles.

Although the opinions here are lukewarm on the single content itself, let's put that aside for now... They haven't been able to top MIRRORS in sales for 6 years, and they've done it with a release whose premium edition was essentially a full-length live blu-ray with a bonus single attached -- this is pretty impressive because DVD/BD sales are usually harder to push.

With their top single being their most recent and their top 4 selling albums all being from their return to their more visual kei roots in 2014 onward (AVANTGARDE, GALLOWS, D.A.R.K., SINNER-EP) they've really made a comeback after their slight downturn in 2012/2013.

we need to ban everyone from posting about the scene in public, we need to go deeper underground

Metis Gretel and Matenrou Opera never really had a "kamijo vibe", though! (maybe Metis Gretel had a biiiit of a New Sodmy feeling but not so much)
But I'm glad Kaya's out of there; I do feel like Kamijo likes to have a bit of "control" over the image/sound/concept of the band. 
 
 
Nope, Matenrou Opera isn't signed under Chateau Agency!

ahhh when i first heard about this i was praying for something similar to metis gretel :"""((
anyways, let's see how this goes... sui worked with kamijo before so it might work out just fine for him...  (i'm sure kamijo is more tolerable than k*saki but then again we never know)
sui looks really good wow 
 

摩天楼オペラ (Matenrou Opera) live-limited (confirmed as live-limited) CD "SHINE ON" will be released on 2016/12/23 at Shibuya TSUTAYA O-WEST at their "Club摩天楼 (Matenrou) Premium Live2016 "X´mas Night" one-man live. A free gift will also be distributed to all in attendance.
 
They've also announced a new full length album to be released at 2017 in spring, with details to be announced. 

My Japanese isn't the greatest, so can someone check to see if I missed some important information on this, please? ^^; BARKS

A LITTLE LOUDER in case those "hurr durr i am #1 gaijin fan i buy all types of cd durrr durrrrrrr i am best fan u all suck" people here didn't get the message.
technically (according to jp girls) u arent a true fan unless you attend lives, buy cheki, attend in stores, buy merch. thats where their money is, of course, but its also ridiculous. so then who is a real fan? visual fans love to impose hierarchies of devotion onto each other, so think about how fucking stupid you look bragging about what you do compared to jouren or girls who actually do stuff for their band. at which point do u draw the line between a bandomen money sink or a true fan? exactly, there's always a bunch of people above you, so don't be a twat to those below. lets all be nice to each other, and support our bands as much as we want to without dragging others down because they support their bands in different ways u might not think is the best (except jouren/mitsu because duh).
i hate to go on this off-topic rant but i think its important considering some of the behavior i've seen on here recently.  also its none of my business *wink* BUT a lot of the people abroad claiming they are "good fans"  because of buying 3 types of a cd or something (god forbid spending 100s on live dists on auction which give more profit to gya then the musicians) don't do much financial for bands considering how much of the cut they actually get from CD sales lmfao.
NOW THAT I HAVE THIS OFF MY CHEST...LETS PROCEED.
 
i wanna see kai in a band less mejibray styled and more djenty tbh, it'd suit his vox more.

I'm surprised (and  somehow not so surprised) that most songs are from their indies days lol there's great choices on the list! Sono seemed surprised to see Kaze No Tori, it's such an old song. 
Also,  my pick (#5) made it on the list, wehh ! ♫

You're welcome ^^
ah, mikoto also beat us with a huge tanuki toy at the live during the tanuki song xD.....
 
Well, the shikiri and many other saizen girls are with them since Ray°C xD so they are fine with it, i guess? the biggest worry for some of them in the beginning was the huge change of music from otoiroha to zigzag.
i didn't really talk to them about specific songs or had a very deep convo about it but we did talk about how interesting the lyrics are and they still go to the lives and love these bandmen xD so...
