This “pause in activities” is for the best really. I admire their tenacity in the aftermath of whatever led to end of Mejibray. Mejibray was a decent band in the scene and worked hard to keep it going. It was clear that they had no desire to end Mejibray in the way that it happened. I know that 8P-SB made some cringe – it was as 360 from Mejibray as could be. So be it. Judging 8P-SB on its own merits, they had some catchy tunes here and there but not catchy enough to stand out in the genre to make one pay attention and buy the damn thing! 8P-SB needs a good producer to reign in the impulses and direct the creativity that’s all over the place into a more cohesive sound. With a good producer, 8P-SB may have a shot. Did anyone else get vibes from Genki that he was there to support Koichi but that he didn’t have anything better to do just then – not a crime tho!

I read the replies to the original post with interest. Since the coronavirus lockdown I have been searching for new bands and new music. xaa-xaa is a band that I was aware of via Dadaroma but never gave them a listen. So I watched the Horror vid and I thought it was hilarious! Maybe it’s not supposed to be funny but every time burlap head showed up they fell backwards to the floor! And when the fake blood splashed in Kazuki’s hair? Classic! Why was his mouth bloody though? An get props for grabbing a sharp weapon!
 
You Tube’s algorithm then suggested this number
 
I gave it a go since a band is best judged by its live performance. I have to say I’m impressed and when Kazuki hits the notes starting at 4:11 he nailed it! Digging the sequined jackets and the satin gloves!
 
xaa-xaa totally stunting on you hoes!
 
And just like that, xaa-xaa has a new fan!

This is an interesting question! I just started collecting chekis this year and have about 20. I haven't stored them anywhere and so they're arranged around my computer keyboard. The thrill of ownership is still strong!
