    haha i had intended to make an artist thread for them for the longest time but kept procrastinating it, and when i was finally about to do it they announced their disbandment, so...

     

    but blesscode will always be one of my all-time favorite bands. there's something in them that i can't really describe but it makes them stand out from all other heavy(?) bands. almost every single track they have done is memorable af and would stay with me forever. 

     

    also, imperial city changed my life :)

    can't say i'm too surprised given shota's condition for the past 2 years but still extremely bummed. funny how after 10+ years shota is still getting lots of ridiculous flak for presumably standing in the way of alvino becoming another pierrot or la'cryma christi (which they never were from the start), but ok. personally i thought the band was fucking brilliant at what they were doing and shota will always be one of my fave vocalists.

    Seconding all of what Duwang said. I liked You when he was in LucaRia but he's a huge turnoff now. There's a big difference between enthusiastically hyping the crowd up and coming down from stage and forcing random people who simply aren't into you to do your furi. At the live I was at he did that to a few girls who weren't even there to see gosan and hurt one of them almost to the point of tears. Maybe their fans like his badass attitude or whatever idk... but terrorizing fans of other bands at the same taiban and depriving them of a space to enjoy their bands in peace is def not cool at all. Anyway the amount of complaints you can find on Twitter on his live behavior is unreal.

    Do you know if their  album managed to have decent sales? At least to me, it was such a huge letdown that I'm afraid it may have affected their popularity in some ways. This downgrade was prior or after their album?

     

    In any way, it's a shame. Open your Heart and Iris were some damn good singles.

     

    First week sales for their album was 1140 copies which def wasn't BPR level (Royz in comparison usually sell at least 6000-8000). But there's far less weight given to sales than the potential labels recognize in the band, which in the case of LONDBOY was pretty promising in terms of their growing popularity (at least around that time last year).

     

    I've heard rumors that they had already secured a deal to sign with BPR in principle, but something happened at their tour semifinal in Nagoya last year which led to the deal being dropped and the rest of unannounced dates cancelled.

     

    But those are unverified and I don't really want to say more about that, other than the band pretty much went downhill from that point. They also seem to have the worst of luck with just about everything (Kanade's accident, Rio's affair, etc.)

    i've literally just been talking to @echo about londboy this entire past week before this happened. i feel so terrible.

     

    pretty sure 90% of MH will be rushing to join the queue that's chalking this up to the rio affair. for what it's worth i'm skeptical about that. anyone who's actually following the band would have noticed that just as everyone thought they were about to sign to BPR last year (which didn't happen), they downgraded their website, releases slowed down, and generally activities became suspiciously spotty for a band their size.

    SID grew pretty quickly too. They formed towards the end of 2003, and had their first oneman tour in the autumn of 2005, and tickets sold out almost immediately. They played at Budokan on 2006.08.29 - just short of their 3rd anniversary.

     

    Other major milestones:

    2010.07.31 - Saitama Super Arena (sold 32,000)

    2010.12.11 - First Tokyo Dome live (sold 40,000)

     

    The rock band holding the record for the least number of days between formation and their 1st Budokan live is ViViD
