Manji 卍

Have u recognized that, the guy who is cutting his hair is Tsuzuku??  ( Just look at the tattoos.) Oh yes just keep going and work together please.
Also huge respect for Koichi. This message is strong and beautiful af. This is it,  what an artist is called. I'd totally stand up for this guy forever. Again...HUGE RESPECT. 
Ps.: Oh and the date.  2017.dec.22. So it was decided a long before. Ok it's obvious but... 

Koichi has started a new Twitter and Instagram and  seemingly cut off his hair:

I agree perfectly.
But I'm feeling like meto and MiA are going to use the MEJIBRAY name even without Tzk and koichi. Well I really don't know how all of this drama will end up...indeed, MEJIBRAY without tzk isn't MEJIBRAY (just got excited with the fact of meto singing)

A great improvement. 9/10
 
 
 
 
 
 

Tbh, I would have preferred 2 discs of 'shot in one take' songs rather than this bloated 3-disc package of remasters and virtually pointless remakes. All they'd have to do is get all their live crap in a room and just play the songs through (perhaps over a few days so they stay fresh). That would be the best celebration of their material, as it would represent the culmination of the band living and breathing the songs over 20 years. They could even have set up a few cameras in the room and filmed the entire performance for an easy Blu-Ray/DVD that we'd actually enjoy. Check out Chain Repulsion (Shot In One Take) and imagine if they did something similar with stuff from VULGAR, Kisou, MACABRE, etc.
 
No idea what they were thinking with this album. Should've been called POS rather than VOS.

A great improvement. 9/10
 
 
 
 
 
 

This person did a lyrics explanation for their entire discography. You guys should check it out, it's pretty cool

Im loving the re-recordings but I agree that 2:03 is horrible. Kyo needs to stop being the Mariah of jrock. He like actually ruined the song halfway in. 

I’m going to try and cliff note this and if anyone else wants to chime in feel free.
 
I think it was in April (???) that Mejibray’s Youtube channel’s name was changed to Forum Official. Another band was added that no one gave a shit about it. People assumed or hoped that was the reason why.
 
Then in May, after the first show on the Hangman tour which was completely normal, they posted that announcement on the homepage and all about the hiatus. After that, there were no more encores. Moreover, there were no more MCs. Tsuzuku didn’t talk to audiences at all (bar shouting the name of the city and maybe “Mejibray”).  A lot of fans are of the mind that he was essentially gagged by the label and prohibited from speaking. No way to know this for sure, but it felt like it. Also worth noting is the instores switched from talks to 2shots before any of this. Also no way to know for sure this is related. 
 
Most of their one-mans ended with BI”name”JIKA. Sometimes Decadance.
 
Mobile member content was really sporadic from there. Even the staff blog hasn’t had images added since the beginning of the last tour.
 
Fast forward to the tour final at Shinkiba Studio Coast. Tsuzuku and Koichi emerged painted black. They’d each done this once previously this year. The live was 14 songs instead of 15. This may or may not have been deliberate as Tsuzuku had collapsed and stayed down at the last song, seemingly overwhelmed. Koichi went to him and checked on him before stepping in front of him and seemingly flipping off the staff at the back and then holding up three fingers to the audience. The curtain finally closed.
 
Koichi’s birthday was a lot more fun. During the breaks between songs at one point, rather than facing the drums, Tsuzuku faced outwards, staring at the audience. He still didn’t speak; it was Koichi that spoke at the end, remarking on the challenges of the year and said we’d meet again next year. Everyone was crying, but the general air was optimistic after the live.
 
Then when the end of December hit, an announcement was posted on Mejibray’s OHP declaring that Tsuzuku’s and Koichi’s contracts had expired and to wish them the best in the future. Koichi’s Twitter and Instagram have been wiped clean. Meto’s birthday live where he will be providing vocals under a different name was announced. Mia is busy as fuck all spring with various projects and sessions.
 
So it’s basically been a massive clusterfuck. _(:3」z)_

Is it there yet?

Their New Years look:
 

I agree perfectly.
But I'm feeling like meto and MiA are going to use the MEJIBRAY name even without Tzk and koichi. Well I really don't know how all of this drama will end up...indeed, MEJIBRAY without tzk isn't MEJIBRAY (just got excited with the fact of meto singing)

Me too! I was scared that they'd disband, but I'm glad they're not giving up! They also played 5 new songs recently...sounds about enough for a new mini-album, huh???? :DDD

Good to see that they've been doing so well even after losing 2 members.
Hope the new announcement is an EP , the last one was very enjoyable

Marco has booked 2 new live dates on January 22 & 23, where they'll make an announcement!!
 

the remastered idea was nice,but i'd rather much another re recorded tracks mini album like THE UNRAVELING  than a best album remastered,
with the tracklist below:
1.MASK
2.【KR】 cube
3. PINK KILLER
4. ASH
5 CHILD PREY
6.  -SAKU-
7. EMBRYO
 

Yeah it says Yutarou.

According to mejibray's homepage, Meto is having a birthday live. AND HE'S THE VOCALIST. (We haven't even heard him talk yet wtf).
Kei and Tatsuya from Diaura, Masa from Nocturnal Bloodlust and Nao from アルルカン , will play the instruments. 

These remastered tracks seem exciting...I can actually hear the drums in Saku, now.

My copy of Vestige has shipped!

Making the thing easier to understand:
 
Tsuzuku and Koichi left MEJIBRAY.
Now Mejibray members are only Meto and MiA.
 
WWK Project is ex Kameleo guy solo project, so MiA is just a support member. It's not his project or anything. 
Plus he's not "ex.MEJIBRAY" because he still part of the group since they didn't officially disband yet. Just Tsuzuku and Koichi are "ex. MEJIBRAY" now 
 
I think It's better to make a topic for it...?

Koichi and Tsuzuku’s contracts with Forum are over as of today. The general thoughts and feelings that there was an issue with management is confirmed, I think. As of now nothing about MiA and Meto. MiA has been announced to be part of this project, but he’s not listed as “ex-Mejibray” and I don’t see anything to indicate that this is anything more than a session. Here is hoping for the best and the happiness of the members in the new year at any rate.

Nice cover arts #hyped
