Bands that break up and literally 2 months after the break up, most of the members are in another band. (Shounenki, the KIDDIE, etc) oh shit I forgot: the ViVid fiasco. Just why dude? So, about point 1: it could be they found the second group is more aligned with their interests, is doing much better, or maybe has a live performance schedule that fits their lifestyle better (maybe they can't really be on tour very often for family reasons?). It seems like the visual-kei scene, at least, is a group of people where everyone basically knows everyone else so it might not be too difficult to find another group of 3 or 4 guys who want to play bad music for teenagers together. For point 2, a lot of these cases are due to label restrictions or blatant member disagreements. La:Sadie's -> Dir en grey / Sinceria -> Fest Vanquer / Valluna -> Diaura / Lagna -> DESCRIBE -> GARDEN / Call Me -> Pentagon, etc Sometimes it is for rebranding, other times they can't continue making music unless they become a "different band." I'm not sure how it works for -AINS- though, because they seem to take bands and have a total rebranding / image / concept / sound change clause in their contracts. 3 Duwang, suji and NICKT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beni 2149 Posted April 15, 2016 That super covered, super recent scandal between indigo la end/Gesu no Kiwami Otome's vocalist and TV personality/singer Becky, their affair. It even being talked about for months, from a British newspaper (the guardian) doing an article about it (granted about Japan's sexism) to April Fools day jokes (arama) on it. I remember earlier on how it was the only thing being reported in some places. Wonder if its died down yet. 1 Pretsy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anadentone 478 Posted April 16, 2016 A mini wtf: wtf happened to DIV? They went from well their style to EDM O_o Born breaking up= did not see that coming T_T Oh Japan throwing a hissy fit about r-shitei performing being scary when so many others played the same venue who were just as scary O.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikna 1225 Posted April 16, 2016 Continuing on the debate about AINS, Kuroyuri's sudden member change and departure from the label does possibly count as well. Considering that Yukika is just as cunning as Kisaki it wouldn't even come to a surprise if it's revealed that AINS was doing shady business. To me personally the sudden deaths of VK bandomen were really shocking (Daisuke, Yuuze, Isshi…) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahoujin 395 Posted April 18, 2016 - A good wtf, but I'm always like WHOAAA when an older band does a revival live with members that haven't been active in so many years that I just assumed I'd never see them around again. It can be really surprising sometimes to see how they look 5-15 years after they retired. - That old interview in Purple Sky where Kisaki said he could kill Kyo with a pebble. Bro chill. - Rumors about Juka's scat fetish and Ryutaro's affinity for golden showers. Gross, potentially fake, but a wtf good time to read about regardless. - Danchou's nude pic - All the fuckin Gallo drama that happened the end of last year god damn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
