Well, it is what the title says. コロナウイルス is forcing people to stay home in Japan and the japs have a nice philosophy of spreading hope in times of despair, so they went there and performed anyway and are being nice and posting the gigs that got cancelled online for all to see, including us, poor gaijin. No live audience, no staff, etc. These are the ones I've seen so far: Let's make this collaborative so do share other links here if you know of any. I'll keep updating this list. Previously unreleased lives uploaded for viewing due to the Corona situation are also to be freely shared in this thread - MH Staff And bear in mind most of these gigs will be available for a limited time only, so hurry up and watch or download the ones you're interested in watching ASAP.

Kinda late news (since the single is *out* already) but idgaf, moving on: Kitamura Eri (seiyuu known for voice roles in animes like "Blood+", "Toradora!", "Highschool of the Dead" etc.) released a new single called "掌-show-" on 5/14, as a theme song for a new anime titled "Knights of Cydonia" And the special thing here is (i think) the backup band for this single: Guitar: Leda (ex-Deluhi, Undivide, currently as *staple* session guitarist (studio?) in BABYMETAL) Bass: Ikuo (Bull Zeichen 88) Drums: Junji (Bull Zeichen 88) source: http://gekirock.com/news/2014/04/kitamura_eri_7th_single.php interesting to see Leda being active in these major j-pop affairs lately, lol. also, according to his own twitter comment - he participated in Kitamura's affairs earlier, especially in her "SHOMEI"-album, where he arranged the first track (+ played guitar, bass, shamisen) and played support guitar in the third track (no YT link, but it's a Taisho-era jazz-like number + HE COMPOSED IT TOO).
