Good news for sure !

Odd request I guess, but this isn't for lyrics or lyric translations. Below is the current tracklist for Orochi's Soul of Prey album. Tracklist: 01 Tenchi-Ranbu 02 Rain 03 Mandala 04 Gag 05 Hannya -Invisible Demon- 06 Kasuga -Sunlight- 07 Phoenix 08 Amber 09 Princess Kiyo 10 Sun of Empire 11 Into the Void 12 SAKURA As you can see there are several Romaji song titles, is there anyone who can find the Kanji for these songs? I don't like using Romaji and much prefer the Kanji so I would greatly appreciate if anyone knows anything about this. I have tried searching various sites, and usually JAME is a great site for Kanji titles but their section for Orochi is incomplete/missing, and doesn't have the Kanji.

Saw this earlier today. Sounds awesome (huge fan of Eros/Ice and of course Rame too). Really looking forward to this and future releases

Yay, I was wondering just last week when they will finally announce something! Good news

No doubt in my mind now that Eros is Ice. If you browse Eros' blog, you will find 'About me/Question' section, almost the entire last section of this is filled with 'Ice'. His new profile picture also resembles his look as Ice more than any previous picture now. Ice's blog, if you read through it you will see the way he posts and adds photos of random stuff is practically the same way as Eros. Now we just need to wait for confirmation of this, I'd be very surprised if they weren't the same person. DaN can be bought at CDJapan and probably more by now. The new single Scycraper Hypoxia was never released through shops or online websites, it was Live sale only and extremely limited, that is why we haven't seen it, and I doubt we even will honestly... which is a shame.

Now that would be great, but wishful thinking I think hehe... Let's hope for the best though!

I don't know about Japan lives, but when they toured Europe in January this year the oldest song they played was Zenith.

Umm, care to re-read Trombe's post? The live is a 'NO single' live. Which means, no singles, just album songs.

As has been discussed in the other topics, all we know for certain is that Eros will be in BFN, it was even mentioned in his blog a short while back. Both Ice and Eros share the same birthday, and bloodgroup AND they look the same, without a doubt, just look at the long bony nose (it's quite distinctive to me). Either way, we have to wait till at least November 20. I don't think that December 'FINAL 2011 GIG' has any relevance whatsoever since there are so many bands involved in it. IMO that's just an all round general Final GIG of 2011, which incorporates many bands, because that's what 16 bands? That's like a bloody festival line-up lol. Nah, if anything it's gonna be announced at the end of November if anything. It's not unknown for members to start a new band and still have lives from their previous band going on after ward, it just may be that their planned lives are their last.

Oh they've had more copies in. It's already sold out twice on CDJapan, so whoever gets it now is quite lucky

Kiwamu mentioned he updated the Starwave Records facebook page news today, so I checked on there to see if there was anything new. Xodiack is mentioned in the Info section, but it's in Kanji ゾディアック . However, on their main site, as has been mentioned, they are no longer listed. Now on Xodiacks Last fm page Madygrain mentioned on Tuesday they have disbanded. And I quote 'Eros moved to a new band and stated "Xociack was stupid". Also, the have broken their contract with starwave records.' I'm not really one to read into these sort of rumours, but it's quite strange indeed. A new band? Not seen anything mentioned on his blog. Disbanded? Surely Kiwamu would have mentioned this by now. If Eros truly said Xodiack (assuming it's a typo) was stupid, then why still be known as Xodiack Eros on his blog? I really hope they haven't disbanded. It's all so mysterious...

I asked Kiwamu on facebook a few days ago, but he hasn't responded to the wall post... Either it is a rumour, or if it's true he won't say until an announcement is made...

I'm pretty sure I checked SW Records' homepage just a couple of months ago and back then Xodiack was still listed. Now they've disappeared. Completely. They're nowhere to be found. Also I wonder if this has got something to do with the fact that their latest mini-album was never released anywhere out of live shows. You mean their Maxi Single Skyscraper Hypoxia? Aye, that was rather a disappointment really. I think this was a move to try and make as many sales before it goes viral. One of their early singles was up on hearjapan for free, and they had a huge amount of people download it.. however, when their full album went on sale, only a few sales were made before it went viral. This was mentioned on the JAME VK Webseries articles. A friend and I were talking about this relating to this single and also Signal's MELT single, this might be how bands try to make their money and progress from now. Even D are somewhat restricting their releases now, only selling them at webshop and lives... On topic, we still don't know if they have left the label yet. I would have thought there'd be announcement of it by now, or at least Kiwamu would have been talking about it on Facebook, but nothing of the sort yet. Not long ago Eros mentioned a European tour was in the works but nothing else has been mentioned. Guess we just have to wait and see really..

Hmm, nothing has been mentioned on Eros' blog nor his facebook. And on 1 of his ameblo blogs Starwave Records is still there. Unless it's something that has happened very recently and not yet updated.... otherwise, no idea...

Yay about time we had a new release! Although I was expecting an announcement soon since there was a rumour about it on Kiwamu's facebook a short while back when he was posting photos with Yuhma. Great news! Looking forward to this

Aye. A bit difficult to buy their CD when it was sold out in super fast time due to extremely limited quantity + restricted to a couple places to buy from.

Wow. Must hear this!

Wow yes! So excited for this!

Wooo. I was hoping for a re-recording of the code number[13.], one of my favourite songs!

Wondering if anyone has the Romaji lyrics for Kimi Ni Furu Zetsubou No Ame? It's been something I have been searching for a long time. Or, if someone is able to translate the Kanji to Romaji I have provided the Kanji lyric page from the booklet here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8869378/xodiack ... lyrics.jpg Hopefully someone is able to find something, would greatly appreciate the help!

Yeah I have the same feeling actually. I mean, they have changed their logo once already, and it has the line striking through which is similar to having - on either side. I wouldn't think they would change their logo yet again so soon. They will always be -OZ- for me regardless.

A comeback would be utterly amazing and I would so welcome it! Buuuut, can't see it happening. Maybe just a 1 day revival/live, that's about it.

Lin will continue I'm sure. Kisaki only really said 'Will devote time to Kisaki project this year' since once Lin lives are over with they will be the last for this year. I forget where I read this now, might have been on LJ somewhere. My understanding of this is, with Lin's album coming, and their lives eventually coming to an end this year, there is no more to do with Lin until next year, so he is devoting himself to Kisaki Project again. Once we are into the new year I'm sure things will pick up again for Lin. As others have said, I hope he doesn't spread himself too thinly, managing a band and a project at the same time can be exhausting I am sure.

Sigh.... Already posted here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9103 Not a new band, just a session band, Tokyo Hive have it backwards basically.

I thought this too! I had been anticipating an album coming by the end of the year actually, and wondered if it would be in the same way as Phantasmagoria, practically all already released songs included. Thankfully that's not the case. I am really excited about this album now, should be good Now, which type to get, or do I get both?
