Not sure about the setlist, but it was a short tour: NoGoD PREMIUM SHORT TOUR-2012- 【Rare-Material】 2012年7月6日(金) 名古屋ell.FITSALL NoGoD PREMIUM SHORT TOUR-2012- 【Rare-Material】 2012年7月7日(土) OSAKA MUSE NoGoD PREMIUM SHORT TOUR-2012- 【Rare-Material】 2012年7月14日(土) 渋谷WWW Not sure about the setlists, but I know that they haven't been playing much of their indies stuff lately, so I'd posit that that's what these shows were for.

According to Kaya's blog, Schwarz Stein will release a new album, Recurrence of Hallucination, in July. Most likely this coincides with the Recurrence of Hallucination live. There are details for overseas ordering. source: Kaya's Blog

I'm totally going to this. I've been waiting for years for them to do a revival, and nothing is going to stop me from getting there. Plus, that's when my wife and I were going on vacation, anyways. Also, thanks to CDJapan, I can easily buy ticket. XD

Well, before X Japan, it seems like most visual bands tended to play smaller live houses and venues. I'm not good with names, but I know there was a punk rock act from the late 70's/early 80's that is considered the "father" of the visual scene, but other than a couple of new year's stints, they never exploded. And sure, the Japanese took thrash and glammed it all up, but those bands also tend to be footnotes now in the grand scheme of visual history. Yoshiki, through whatever magic or voodoo he used, convinced people that, not only was his band so big, they MUST have been originators of the visual scene, but to buy product in almost absurd quantities. I can't think of a visual band that played the Tokyo Dome before them. So, while X wasn't the first vk band, they were the first to figure out how to get rich doing it.

The new bassist has been revealed. His name is Taku, and I'm not certain where he comes from. Also, it appears that they're officially on a label now, called Front Mission. Oh, and they will be opening their fan club, called "Pictures", in January. Sources: http://http://chemical-pictures.net/ and http://www.frontmission.co.jp/profile/artist.html

From what I understand, getting and maintaining a visa can be super difficult and stressful. It's sad, but I don't really blame him for not wanting to deal with immigration and band activities at the same time. you're right but, anyway in that especific situation, isn't it something that the record laber or manager or somebody has to deal with?, i don't know, i'm just wondering, because it's something weird in this case.. i mean, visa problems anywhere it's like "normal", but here we could say that he was "working". so in that situation the "company" wich he's working for, should deal with that. don't know, i'm just making a suposition.... (and i didn't know he wasn't japanese XD) well, in the end, if it's his personal desicion....good luck in anything he wants to do lol. _ They aren't actually on a label, Speed Disk just does their distribution. So, there isn't really anyone to grant him a visa per se, as far as the music industry is concerned.

I'm just glad I got to see 'em play so many times... my wife and I planned our vacations around Chemical Pictures onemans the last couple of years. Jimi's a cool guy, and I know he'll be doin' cool things in the future.

Jimi is departing after the Dec. 20th live at Shimokitazawa Shelter. It.. is NOT musical differences. Hard to get a visa. Source

Also, their singer's CRAZY FUCKING SMILE. That freaks me out... also, I'm pretty sure half his face is paralyzed. *shudder*
