I loved that Sombrero kei look!
 
some of my faves
 
8P-SB
 
 
Wajou - THE GALLO
 
 
Marblehead's vocalist scarecrow look, because just once isn't enough
 
 
xaa-xaa's noroiuta look was one of their most adventurous yet, kazuki takes the win
 
 
'What the...?' Award goes to Pentagon. This is what happens when you try too hard to relate to the youths
 
 
Actually, Pentagon deserves two mentions. The look for MANTRA was a mixed bag, but chizuru's red coat should become a signature look. Coincidentally, whenever he wears the red coat is when they sound their best, so.

Arlequin new single release date January 30th, 2019!!! Spot with previews for each track on their channel. Sounds incredible, the new mixing style they’re going for is exactly what they needed.
Tour dates, album art and group photo as well on twitter!
 

1st Version. (It's the first thing they went up and after a few minutes they deleted it from their account, I managed to download it in time)   
 
2nd Version. (They have retouched the video a lot, they have also added the names of the components among other things)
 

A new band, JE:NOVA, has been formed. More details will be announced tomorrow.

Making a thread for these guys since one hadn't been made yet,
 
 
 
Vo.ブキミ (Bukimi) (it's Hiduki from fuckin dispina)
Gt.マル (Maru) (Is also from Dispina, cause why not)
ex-Ba.智依 (Tomoe) (Was in Dispina too but..Is no longer in the band causa some shit he did with a wallet)
Dr.詩季 (Shiki) (Is Dispina's old drummer i think?????)
 
 
They started out as とびおりくん (Tobiori Kun) which actually turned out to be ジグソウ who is secretly Dispina. PLOT TWIST. Basically this band is Dispina with a new concept and a new drummer and I love it. While not much has changed from their previous sound, it's more old school as in early 2000's visual kei and it's the shit honestly. Bukimi seems to be the "puppeteer" of the band, pulling the strings while they preform and I love it. I feel like they wanted to re-invent their stage presence but not completely change their nu-metal/ aggressive style. Funny thing is that the drums in Dispina and Jigsaw are the same if not similar drum sets?
 

 
 
 
I'm thinking shiki may be their old drummer but then again I could be wrong. I wonder if Tomoe is gonna be back for that Joint Dispina live or is he fired from Dispina too? Lmao.
 
 
 
So far they only have one Proper release, with about 10 live dist singles already. 
 
These 8 out of the 10 released, are all pieces to a Jigsaw puzzle. They are released on the consecutive numbers of each month following their Tour concept, DAY OF SHOWING THE SAME NUMBER. That tour title in mind, each and every CD contains a instrumental of the following months track so you can in short piece together the puzzle. Which is cool but fuckin extra.
