When you went to these last 2 events this one and Mejibray, were there alot of people there?

Haha I loved the report thanks again for writing it up. Hopefully more bands are able to come to the states though. Based off of what he said about having lots of male fans I want to see a live DVD

Chizuru stated that we can expect a much darker sound from this album.
source: Q & A in Los Angeles

imo it is because KERBEROS would like to use their resources to support other bands; in other words, Shellmy is "well-known" enough to be supported, and in fact KERBEROS(三頭猟戌) is label established by けいた(keita)(ex-EVE) which supports various bands and sessions
 
before Shellmy, BASH! & FoLLoW have also ceased to be supported by KERBEROS

Updated with report

Message from Vo. Chizuru:
 
"Hello everyone in the States. My name is Chizuru, vocalist from the band Pentagon. First, I am very happy to know that there are fans across the sea supporting us. We aren't able to go see you guys in person as of yet, but we will definitely do our best to go to you guys as soon as we can. We will be featured and meeting oversea fans for the first time through XENON's livestream Q&A. I'm actually really nervous since its the first time we do something like this. I hope to enjoy our time during the livestream. thank you" - Chizuru(Pentagon)
 
 
Please note that there was a bit of miscommunication at times, and the band misinterpreted some of the questions so some responses may not make sense.I also did leave some odds and ends out of the report.
 
*Also for those that are unaware Minpha does not speak so he wrote or gestured his answers*
 
So the event kicked off and the band began with a self introduction. They explained who they were and what their concept was. Chizuru described their concept as "Dark Fantasy". After the self intro. they talked about their new upcoming album「WELCOME TO GHOST HOTEL」. He said that we can expect a much darker sound from this album.
 
The Q & A began and Pentagon began by asking us some questions: 
 
Yutori: I would like to visit America to meet women but I've heard that most women in the U.S. carry guns in their purse, is this true?
 
*A girl revealed the inside of her purse to the band and prove there was no gun*
 
Band: Ohhhhhhhhhh!
 
Person: I do have pepper spray
 
Yutori: *Blurts out in English* Oh My God!      ... JESUS!
 
*We all laugh and Yutori laughs back*
 
Taku: Is there any stage in Los Angeles that would welcome a visual-kei band like us?
 
Someone mentioned the whisky a gogo since Dir En Grey had preciously played there the night before.
 
Band: Ohhh Dir En Grey, thats awesome!
 
Yutori: Cool Name!
 
Someone else said the Roxxy Theater since Vamps held a concert there back in October.
 
Chizuru: What is it about visual-kei that gets you so interested? It's a different language so how do you guys manage to enjoy it?
 
*I'm assuming this question relates to the message he sent us the day before the event, i think Chizuru still finds it hard to believe he has fans overseas*
 
Person: I just love how every release is a different concept
 
Person: I love how the instruments sound
 
Person: I love the MV's they look really well done and it has an amazin production
 
Band: Thank You!
 
*Now our turn to ask questions began*
 
Person: Is there any band that you like outside of Japan?
 
Chizuru: Unfortunately, I'm not so good at English so i don't really listen to any.
 
Yutori: I began playing guitar after listening to the Beatles and I've enjoyed their music since.
 
Taku: My Chemical Romance
 
Minpha: *Gestured Ok sigh with his hand*
 
Atsuki: A lot!
 
Person: What is one of your hobby's?
 
Chizuru: Gamble
 
Yutori: *Blurts out in English* MASTURBATION !
 
*We all laughed* 
 
*Yutori laughed back*
 
Taku: SEX! *he laughs* Joking ...Sports
 
Minpha: Women outside of Japan
 
Atsuk: (Did not answer or forgot to answer)
 
Person: Do you see many male fans at lives?
 
Chizuru: It may seem hard to believe but Pentagon is actually one of the few bands with many male fans
 
Person: Favorite Color?
 
Chizuru: Black
 
Yutori: Green
 
Taku: Blue
 
Minpha: Pink
 
Atsuki: Grey
 
Person: What is your favorite animal?
 
Chizuru: It used to be cats but now its a dogs
 
Yutori: *Shouts in English* Humans!
 
Taku: Armadillo
 
Minpha: Cat
 
Atsuki: Dog
 
Person: Chizuru what is your favorite Japanese band? 
 
Chizuru: Golden Boomber!
 
Person: Is there a concept you would like to do in the future?
 
*The band actually spend a good minute to think about this one*
 
Chizuru: Mafia !
 
The Q & A came to a close but before we left Yutori asked us one last thing in English
 
Yutori: Which do you love me or chizuru!? (omg it was the cutest thing ever i regret not recording)
 
Chizuru: *Just puts his head face down on the table laughing*
 
We all replied You!
 
Yutori: Oh Thank You!
 
We all said goodbye and the Q & A ended.

I'm not gonna lie, I hope I do hear a new announcement soon....

And that is the mentality that ruins Visual Kei for a lot of average fans who are simply there to enjoy the music and don't want to dive into the private lives of these musicians. Can you honestly be bothered by pictures of a guy captured at a girl's house? What does this prove? That he probably likes to have sex, bother! Whatever someone does in their private life doesn't concern me. If I enjoy the music, I honestly don't care who it's written or performed by. If they take drugs, are alcoholics, addicted to sex, it does not matter. But in Visual Kei it's high priority to figure out if your 'husbando bandoman' slept with someone other than you, and if they did, they are perpetually despised.
 
If everyone was so bothered by these antics then we wouldn't have music. The greatest musicians on this planet slept with thirty girls a week and were constantly high on drugs. But who eventually cared? Their family and friends, yes. But that didn't mean they couldn't produce the most incredible music currently existing.

oh SHIT. beautiful. best REIGN lool... (?)

I wouldn't say ignored. I would say "flew under the radar".
 
You gotta look at the big picture here @Trombe. You have almost 30,000 posts. That's over three times as many posts as @Jigsaw9, who is in second place. You have so many posts I have to keep making new user ranks for you so you can continue to promote. We could do a better job of liking your news posts, but members also have a certain amount of likes they can grant in one day. You also have more likes than everyone else so I had to make new reputation ranks as well. You have so many posts that if we were to actually respond to all of your news articles, it would be even more confusing to keep up with the current news. The sleek, minimalistic look of news posted back to back like you linked above makes it super easy to connect the dots and we don't have to wade through pages of comments to do it. You can't do that to the GazettE for example.
 
Some news articles promote more discussion than others. Some are really just for reference. Both are incredibly useful. Don't think we aren't reading because we aren't commenting. Sometimes there just isn't much to say.

It's ridiculous how people blame San (I bet that's just because he's ex-UCP?). Their sound hasn't changed after he joined. They were already an erratic band without much of a heading because they didn't take themselves too seriously and yet managed to create something entirely unique out of it.

STELLA... has changed to new band "アマノヰザナギ(amano izanagi)" after their presents live "邪神転生(jashintensei)" at Ikebukuro BLACK HOLE at 2015/08/08, and they will hold their next live at Ikebukuro BLACK HOLE at 2015/11/07

Yes!!!! I've been waiting for Sid and Mao's beautiful voice and this is amazing, can't wait for the full song!

umm that sounded amazing

Is there any specific place outside of Japan that they would like to tour at? and why?

A message from Chizuru:

no kesshou hana?? ((

Saw that Tetsuya just posted this demo. Sounds pretty decent. Not what I would have expected.
 

@CAT5 "THE NOVEMBERS - Kirei na umi e" had to be the best song on the mini and that mini was probably the release of the month for me, granted it was my first time even listening to them your description of this song was right on point and I thank you for getting me into them just by talking about them so much. This song is an all-around beauty, can't wait to see what they come out with next. 
 
@doombox for Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas I think my favorite song off of the album was Gratitude, but I think for me besides their single tracks and a few others their last albums were superior. what do you think?
 
@Zeus I found my self loving fanfale from Keel the most, I mean that falsetto chorus had me at wow from the preview and hearing the full song just proved to me how glorious it truly was with one play through, but the band is all together a really good band!
