Indeed. Well he might start using it later who knows. I wanted to look around his website but it's completely freezing up my laptop lol

It says in the twitter description that staff is updating the news on it so I don't think he'll be using it himself.

He's changed his artist name to MIYAVI (so yeah without the kanji) but they'll still use the kanji for designs and logos and all that.

I'm just glad fnac offered etickets, neotokyo shipping was expensive enough already... Does anyone think there'll be more dates? I wanna book my trains already.

Fixed that for you.

Come on guys, april fools.

ok wow I am so glad I didn't book my trains yet

Yeah well since I'll only be in London for a few days I wouldn't wanna waste my day sitting in line anyway Maybe we'll see each other there!

Not unexpected indeed, but really disappointed because their live in Eu really was one of the best ones I've been to... Was hoping to see them again but too bad ):

Yeah indeed! Well the test is only 3 hours so I'm sure there'll be enough time to get to the venue. You're taking it too?

Would be inconvenient for people using public transport to get there though...

Probably going to Cologne and Paris and hopefully they'll play a live in Utrecht too

Bummed about no NL date... But the London gig couldn't be more perfectly timed! Was gonna be in London that weekend anyway for the JLPT

Just want to point out that a full blown Visual Kei look definitely is not socially/culturally acceptable in Japan.

Hoping someone can share the Japanese of the『薔薇～Rose～』single. Haven't been able to find them yet~ (Quality) booklet scans would work too!

Eh no Juul would not say the same, but you obviously didn't read what I wrote. Ehm nee Juul zegt niet hetzelfde, maar je hebt dus duidelijk niet gelezen wat ik heb getypt. Torpedo's lives here (since Anli and Versailles) have always been in collaboration. D and Screw where with MusicJapanPlus.

^ Yeah well obviously he wouldn't do a gig if he thinks nobody is going to attend, that is common sense. I don't have to know Steff to know that. You saying he won't really is something you can't say for sure, you don't even sound like you know for sure in the rest of your posts so why state it like that. And "I know Steff" really isn't a good argument. Juul has known Stef for ages too and she can't predict things like this either. Torpedo won't do a live in NL on their own, they've said so before. In Dutch because I don't want us to misunderstand each other: Het is logisch dat ie geen live doet hier als ie denkt dat er niemand heen gaat, Ik hoef Steff echt niet persoonlijk te kennen om dat te weten. Maar je kunt niet met zekerheid zeggen dat het zeker niet gebeurt (zoals je suggereerd in je eerste reply), zeker omdat je later ook suggereerd dat je het helemaal niet zeker weet (tenzij er bewijs is van veel fans etc.). Dus dan snap ik niet zo goed waarom je het nodig vindt om die opmerking in de eerste plaats te maken. Taalbarrière?

Like you know that for sure. It wouldn't be the first time, and if Astan doesn't have anything planned it's definitely a possibility.

I don't really think suggesting artists would really work. It would only cause complaints about who are selected most likely... And seriously it's just a poll, and only reflects the opinion of a small minority of the forum, why is this being taken so seriously..?

^ Supporting the scene maybe?

^ If Heineken is better than your local beer, then that's a serious problem...

Lana Del Rey - Off to the races

I personally was just too lazy/busy this year to really sit down and fill the poll out, and I felt silly half assing it, so I waited with filling it out, and then I forgot. But I participated last year and I'd be really sad to see the voting go away, because I still enjoy seeing the outcome even though I didn't vote this time.

Well maybe if they collab with Astan. Don't have much hope either though..
