I remember them, they were great. Also #4 from STELLA MARIA, in the KISAKI session band, interesting.

He was a pretty good drummer too, and one of the original members. I hope they find a new drummer, still i find it odd that he left.

Oh this is really nice news! I liked Meties, will be buying the single.

I liked the preview, refreshing. Also, MY RUKA.

Yay! Looking forward to this. I have always loved all their releases.

limited 20 LMAO

I want it.

They tend to grow up or something maybe?

Besides, oshare bands has never been together for long. That´s a law.

About the age thing. RINNE (ex. WITH SEXY), is in a Oshare Kei band, MILKY EMILY. He is in his 40's.

JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OSHARE KEI? It doesn't seem to really exist anymore. I can't think of that many active Oshare Kei bands. Plus the number of new bands, arriving that choose to be Oshare Kei are low. The Oshare Kei scene has much less bands than it used to:

Classic examples of Oshare Kei bands:

Just what has happened to bands like these?

What does everyone here think?

It has to be LAREINE for me. I don't like Versailles personally. LAREINE have this magical atmosphere to their music. Mayu in particular made the band shine, talented guitarist/composer. I also preferred how Kamijo sang in LAREINE, lol. I know not a lot of people do, but i do so. Their whole concept, costumes and music appealed to me more than Versailles. LAREINE were special.

Lareine is just some amazing shit. Not only they were good at what they were doing but I'd also say they were a lot more varied. Just on "The Last of Romance" album there were lots of different music styles going on. From freakin' lambada on emeraude to some bossa mixed with french stuff on パリは秋色 and the list goes on.

Yes, their music was more diverse than Versailles.

Well this sucks, at least release some music first before leaving lol.

Oh i forgot to mention CindyKate, i liked them. Hope they aren't affected and get a new label. Nobody has mentioned them yet.

Surprising news, although tbh these new bands that KISAKI signed weren't doing it for me. Nega are shit now, I only follow Megaromania, though they are kinda hit or miss now. Oh and i followed Em Grief when they were active, best UCP band. This label has been around for a while and they did have some great acts. Such as Vidoll, Mar’derayla and HISKAREA. I do think that Megaromania will get another label btw. Will be weird to see UNDERCODE gone though.

What the? I am actually a little bit surprised.

Interesting. The line up is promising 'nuff~ ^^

Indeed, i like the lineup. Hiro, Yuhsuke, Ruka and Haruki. Yay.

Yay they are returning. Shame about Kei leaving, I will miss him. But at least Kijin didn't leave, that would be the biggest blow to the band. I think he is the most talented person. Oh a mini! Waiting for more news.

Ugh another member departing, shame.

Lol. But i hope kiki goes to a new, better band.

actually, he wrote at his blog that POPCORE is his last band

WHAT?!? Oh crap. Sucks.

Lol. But i hope kiki goes to a new, better band.

Shame , everything was going nice for them too. 2 blows to the band, hope they can recover from this and find new members.

Wow this is awesome. K-suke and SIN, SIN, SIN.

Ah good to hear! Curious about the mini album.

AH, tamiiiii!   He's a pretty good bassist, it's a shame he never joined a band or anything after SectMa. Nice to see mar take part as well.

What's with this undeserving hate, they were good fun and certainly no worse than most of the shit that we get today.

also second singer was better than ginta.

I agree with you 100%, I liked how Sato was all happy go lucky all the time, they were a enjoyable listen. Why does everyone love Ginta? Sato did try and rebuild the band when everyone left, gotta give him credit for that.

I only liked Sato, such a shame they always amused me.

God I hope Aicle guys start forming new bands.

Yes. Well i have heard no news from them.
