ギガマウス(GIGAMOUS) Vo.式(shiki) will depart on 2017/3/31 and the band will be on hiatus after that.

[Euthanasia 333]

Whaaat no. All the bad news this year is too much.

[blackdream 95]

No! They are one of the good bands, and one of my favorite visual kei bands. I don't want to believe it. 

[Muskito 129]

OH SHIT

[Aferni 2381]

WHY THOUGH

[blackdream 95]

 

They've also announced a live DVD! No details yet, but this will make a good poultice for the wound from the bad news.

[suji 8317]

 

really

[returnal 543]

it just won't end gawwwwwwwwwwd

this bad news just obnoxious now

[Serox 482]

No...

[tetsu_sama69 1119]

Why tho the band is doing so well!

tbh Shiki's vocals are something I just tolerate, I wouldn't mind seeing the band continue with a slightly better vocalist. 

But they're going on "hiatus" so they might just never come back.

*sigh* I'm a big fan of their stripped-down garage band party rock style, which is unique in my limited stable of VK bands I like.

Now that's unexpected... GIGAMOUS was hit and miss for me, but I loved ap(r)il to death, so whatever he's up to I'm game!

[leafwork 814]

what??

[Vercingetorix 185]

2016 just keeps it coming... what're the odds LUNA SEA's Christmas Eve gig at Saitama Super Arena will turn out to be farewell show?

[apple-wa 10]

They were on my list of bands to try out, but I never got around to it. Now I feel bad.

[suji 8317]

Just found out that it's also Shiki's birthday today....

 

What a shitty time to announce all that ;o;

Shiki was onr of my favorite vocalists so it saddens me to see him go. He does fit the band well but if they plan to continue i can see yukkie doing vocals. Unless the get N@H to continue activities

they were just doing OK tbh

they've plateaued and interest has been waning for a while imo. I've never seen them get more than a few rows getting into it at event lives. Most of their songs people just don't even bother with--they just wait for them to play kangoku rockmen.

They really have never been able to get past being the The Kangoku Rockmen Band.

 

The recording quality has really suffered since they left badegg box and the newest single was forgettable.

 

they were pretty fun live (well, for the most part). I enjoyed seeing them whenever I did and hope I make it in time on Friday. live was way better than CDs imo. but I'm also in the camp that I just kind of accepted shiki's vocals. I hope they get a new vocalist but remember N@H is technically on hiatus too. So, I wonder if GIGAMOUS will come back at all.

Now that you say that...thats the song that got me into them and the only one besides Pyroililim I listen to from them.

I like Gigamous (a little), but I hope so much that N@H come back and Seiya returns in Spiv States together with JUN.. would be a dream! T__T

ギガマウス (GIGAMOUS) Vo.式 (shiki) has departed early due to lack of communication with the rest of the band. Their remaining live dates will be performed by the remaining members.
