Don't wanna jinx it, but so far this sounds like another highpoint in B-T's discography for me (after "Arui wa Anarchy").

No instrumental track?

pretty recent post on kagrra's livejournal fanbase, the poster says that shin is working on sound/audio for GazettE, akiya does gameplays on youtube

I was perusing through the artist forum, and I was surprised that a Kagrra, thread was never made in this section, so here it is. Even though they disbanded in 2011 (and sadly are never coming back), this band definitely deserves much love. Let me know if I made any mistakes ^^

I thought this was already announced here. (laugh)
 

 
 
Last year it was announced that Silver-Rose will make his comeback, however not with the old line-up.
Vocalist YOWMAY restarted the band with 4 new members. 
 
Gt. Zoo
Gt. YOU-K
Ba. KAPPY
Dr. ShuLa
(check vkgy for their band history)
 
Joined along to raise up Silver-Rose again!
 
 
 
official twitter: https://twitter.com/Silver_Rose666
 
 
 
Actually the band should restarted this year with a nice tour around Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, sadly due covid-19 this tour plan has moved to next year.
Yet the 2nd live of the band will be (hopefully) on August 1st. 
 

 
And maybe an interesting thing is... even if 99% of their fanbase see them as Visual Kei, they still refuse to call themselves Visual Kei.
More about that reason you can discover in their upcoming interview which I will publish on July 16th!  Look forward to it!
 
 
To discover a bit more already (some stuff I didn't add yet on vkgy) can be checked via this;
 

The look:

 





 

Very pretty ! I'm tired of their over the top messy compositions so a ballad is a nice change for once. Btw Mahiro's nose... if he likes it that's great and I'm happy for him but I really dislike the way he looks now

If anyone wants to listen on YouTube:
 
 
 
 
 

Sadie Pink Galaxy (XA-VAT, SPEECIES, JUBILEE) and Közi (XA-VAT, ZIZ, VAMQUET etc.) have been hinting at working together on something in the past few months, and now Sadie broke the news on Twitter. They will release a single titled 今夜はロマンシングー (Kon'ya wa RomancinGoo) under the project name SADIY&KÖZIY. The record will contain 3 new songs plus their karaoke versions, and it will be released both as a CD and as a cassette sometime later in June (I think?).
 
 
The style looks very '80s pop, so I'm curious what this will sound like.

And here are the recent livestreams. He just did one 5 days ago too!
 
 
 

Shit....this one is heartbreaking and tragic. I just watched a few of his livestreams he did recently and he was amazing and on-point as always. I even got to say hello to him via the live chat during a steam just to send him some love from a fan outside of Japan. He actually read it, since it was one of the messages in English, and responded a bit.

I'm sure we all have our favorite songs by him. Song of a Lunatic is mine and the extended live performance is one of the rare cases where I believe it rivals the actual studio version. The CD release of this concert has this song going on for longer at 12 minutes and every second of it has always been magic to my ears.
 

Rest in peace Yuji!

DEAD END Gu.YOU has passed away from sepsis at 2020/6/16.
 

In other #very #important #news, Imai has dyed his hair and he's excited about making the album and going on tour eventually.
