Looks like ex-MEJIBRAY/8p-sb frontman Tsuzuku/GENKI has a new project called SpelL. First digital single titled "SPELL" will be released on 2020/12/15.
 
You can see a snippet of the music video here:
 
 
And if at least 300 ppl retweet this, he'll reveal the full version:
 
 
Honestly, I feel like I would like the song itself if not for this godawful no-budget ridiculously ass production. Hoping this is not the "final product" but just a taste of the general direction of this project right before recruiting actual band members (cuz then I'd listen to their future releases for sure).

Apparently the band encouraged the audience to take photos/video at the final song, so here is one:

Damnnnnnnn, that's quite a blow! Sad to see such an underground institution closing.
 
Also r.i.p. @Takadanobabaalien ;<

Yeah, my thinking is they probably go the same route as MERRY (I assume), with support musicians.
 
SATOchi was such a staple of the band (just like the other members), it wouldn't feel right to recruit a new full-time guy.

Or maybe they're going to announce they're releasing prayer on cassette for 10,000 yen a piece.

Heads-up, the band's going to make some sort of announcement tomorrow at 6 PM (so like uhhh 17 hours from now).

Its gotta be them dropping a mv lol

Mr. Ellis, is that you? 

I've found MUCC has been getting progressively worse and worse for the past decade, but still it will be weird/sad to think of them without SATOchi... He always seemed like a fun/cool dude too. Hoping he'll find happiness in whatever the future has in store for him (I'm not realistically hoping anything for MUCC, they're beyond help by now).

Would be better if the entire band followed suit and retired too at this point 2bh

Frickin' cash grab. Kyo gotta buy that GUCCI shit somehow I guess.

"Shiilop phewlol"

It just says something about releasing stuff that'll "cut deep" into the darkness of the world and people of current times or something to that effect. It's nothing that actually gives anything away about what the sound will be like.

Interesting! Curious to hear how this will sound...

cali≠gari will release a new CD titled "15予告版" (15 yokoku-ban) early next year. The oneman gig commemorating the release will be held on 2021/02/11 so there's a good chance that the CD comes out around that time (no further details are known yet). Judging from the title it's safe to assume that it will be a single preceding a future album.
 
The band also announced a tour titled "Tour 15" that will last from 2021/03/06 till 2021/06/28. This makes me think that the potential album that will follow the "15予告版" CD might be released around that timeframe, but the guys haven't talked of an album yet, so we shall see...

Adding this on the "reasons to keeping living" list, thanks homie 👍

For some reason this completely flew under my radar, but it appears RAKUGAKI has released their 1st digital single under their alterego moniker 羅苦餓鬼 (also read as "Rakugaki") on 2020/10/31, titled 『殺意二満チタ貴女へ…』("Satsui NI miCHITA kijo E..."). As you could guess from the stylization of the title, it's more of a dark kote-kei influenced record compared to their usual eclectic pop-punk rock style.
 
This comes as too late now, but they were also taking pre-orders for a special made-to-order cassette version of the single until 8th November (i.e. the number of copies are limited to the number of preorders). So that slipped us by now, but at least we can listen to the tunes online.

Here is the Youtube playlist of the single for those who don't have Spotify and want to have a quick listen:
 
 
I thought this was quite fun! Still sad to see these guys go so soon...
