Deflina Ma'riage is still around, I think? They've got a live scheduled for December, at least. If I had to pick a few, it'd probably be any band that ヒロ was in(Plu'to/P*Route/GAM/Grigori). He seems to have terrible luck with bands actually staying around. Other than that, the only others that really come to mind are D'AIR, キシュ-qiche-(damn them for saying they were reviving then not) and MayDay.

They had a live not too long ago(1-2 months) under the name LOGiQ and it was only the vocalist singing against a prerecorded backtrack.

Cuckoo doesn't really sound like Lab... sorry broz Closer to an uh... cali gari sorta sound, I suppose

Thanks for gathering all this info, it was very interesting to read. On a somewhat related note, a friend of mine wrote a live report for Zill's memorial live. She translated a lot of the MCs, so its nice to hear what his friends and bandmates had to say afterwards. You can read it on her blog here: http://tokyo69.atelierneko.net/

lol shit sucks bros PEACE

As for bands I've seen live, it would probably be Within Temptation. Sharon is just awe-inspiring in person. For a DVD, it'd have to be Uchuu Sentai NOIZ. I'm very picky with live dvds and don't usually watch them since they tend to make me fall asleep Their lives are so crazy and energetic that I could watch them over and over. As for the worst band I've seen live though? Dir en grey on their most recent tour. No fault of the band themselves this time though, as the sound in the venue(Albuquerque, NM) was complete shit. Everything was so "muddy" and the volume on the mic was so low that you could barely hear Kyo at all, beyond a few squeals here and there.

Theres also another session band playing that night called キャメル山田, but the members haven't been announced yet. Either way, it looks like it'll be a totally awesome event... especially since it starts at midnight XD

It was around the time that Codomo A's best-of album was released. Kibouya Honpo had already disbanded by then as well. There was a post on Eiji's blog about the album saying he wasn't even made aware of it. Kisaki hadn't even asked him if he could make such a cd. He stated that it was enough to make him cry, that his blood and sweat went into making those songs. Then said to his fans not to purchase that cd. I would say thats quite enough proof.

Codomo A wasn't manufactured by UNDER CODE though. They were a band before they were on the label. I don't consider them an UNDER CODE band anyways, at least not anymore, since Eiji hates Kisaki and probably wouldn't admit they were nowadays anyways XD Then you don't consider many UCP bands as UCP bands. You mean most of the bands on the label don't love him and are his slaves?

WOMEN?? IN MY VK? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO!

I wonder what goes on at these birthday events... if its just a bunch of session bands, then thats pretty cool, I guess.

aww man! I've been trying to find that for ages!
