[Himeaimichu 1535]

New Kuroyuri album (Hopefully)

Kyo, being the eternal teenager he is, gets over his deathcore scene phase and decides to go Emo and tour with AFI. (Ok, not a real prediction, but I felt like making the joke xD)

Kiryu releases a few singles, and then another album. 

Kon (La'Mule and Cell) will probably start another project, since he occasionally still preforms both La'Mule and Cell songs with Nao. 

New Kisaki project with a bunch of people who are 10-20 years younger than him, but somehow look a little older. 

Karma and Zen from AvelCain return with another project. 

Sibilebashir disbands, then reforms on Kuroyuri's label (There have been multiple rumours around about them joining Kuroyuri's label)

Yukika snipes another band, puts them on a sublabel

Kebyou releases first non-live distributed single

Yoshiki decides to do another business venture, and epicly fails

A bunch of small Tokyo based Vkei bands that look like Meteroid and Diaura play the stylish wave countdown, and become popular, and we won't stop hearing about them for the rest of the year as labels pick them up. 

CrowXClass still doesn't return, or even give any clues to whether they've disbanded or not. 

(The next predictions are just jokes)

AKB-48 releases their 666th single, with so many versions, that there aren't enough letters in the alphabet to label them all, so they use IPA letters. But it turns out just to be the same stuff, as usual, because.. well.. it's AKB-48. 

Some big JPop scandal that honestly is nothing huge, but people gotta complain over anyway, fills all the J-music news sites. 

AvexTrax will start losing more money, as Nightmare goes on hiatus, and a bunch of other Avex bands will decide to follow Nightmare and do the same.  (I mean, have you seen how Avex treats their bands?)

And finally, Hide rises from the grave, just to say "Ok, look, the Vkei industry is not the same anymore. There is something that the industry lacks. I think we all know what it is. La'Mule should have never disbanded"

I think you guys vastly overestimate how popular they are. 

 

Are they not that popular? 

[cvltic 1482]

^ they play ~250-300 person capacity venues often and idk if they sell them out. at holiday next in nagoya (~250 cap) they played with DADAROMA and after DDRM was done the crowd thinned out a fair bit. i wonder if there's a list of common venues with capacity listed somewhere because it's an easy measure

i agree Satsuki will either finally stop being deluded and give up his solo career or marry a european and move there to work instead

i also predict that there will be a scandal directly related to in-store photo sessions that tops even the girl who made fest vainqueur pose with condoms in their mouths
and another dude is going to get stabbed by a gya

A lot of the livehouses themselves don't disclose their capacity on their websites, but the above links are good. Pretty much every venue is listed with their cap

• DIR EN GREY will release a new single mid-year, and announce a new album towards the end of 2017.
• MERRY will release a new album, goddamn they'd better.
• cali≠gari announces a new (mini) album by the end of 2017 but not before releasing at least one impossible-to-get FC-limited remix single.
• MUNIMUNI slightly change the index page of their website twice. Nothing much else happens. Oh wait: two live-limited demos they forget to announce in advance.
• Grieva be Grievin' as always, copy-paste Kuroyuri to kage and Gossip here as well.
• X JAPAN somehow manages to perform in London in March, YOSHIKI designs a new Yoshikitty and new chips flavor. Album? What album?

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

X Japan finally releases the album. It comes packaged with three unreleased songs only, and at the end of the day, it's still three new X Japan songs too many.[2] 

 

Anfiel disbands amid a bangya debacle; band claims that the vocalists aunt is sick. That's not the end of it however, and every other band Hiroki likes is soon to follow. 

 

A new DADAROMA single gets released sometime in 2017. It gets uploaded on MH six months later but only as a youtube rip. The thread is not locked because everyone is desperate. 

 

The world is torn in fiery debate whether blackdoll's ban ending or Lycaon's continuing activity is the greatest tragedy the international community will face in 2017. 

[totoromi 63]

DALLE releases a single, then disappears for years

KEEL keeps on doing great stuff

HOLLOWGRAM loses members and vanishes for quite some time

Amano Yuki releases new CDs, and it's impossible to find them anywhere, even though it will be amazing

 

mejibray finally decides to disband and a petition to cancel disbanding happens called "we have bad tastes don't leave yet, we need you", which works and they stay again

Initial'L releases singles and an album and get hated from MH 

D disbands (tbh I think it will happen)

megamasso releases an album and it's fantastic

More releases a new mini album and.. and that's it, let's call it a year

Lolita23q releases new materials, and Sou came back only for girls so he doesn't care about it being good or not (I hope they iwll release stuff though)

 

Kisaki returns with a band, but it will release only 2 stuff, and then nothing happens

X japan releases new album which turns out to be only a mini with 6 songs including 2 SEs and Kurenai in english which is a complete disaster

LUNA SEA releases new album and two singles, but turns out to be just ok, they also release 2 DVDs for 20,000yen each

 

Moi Dix Mois releases a new album and decide to call it a decade, Mana never dies and drink Kamijo's blood to become mortal though it turned out to be lethal and shit happens

Versailles is back, do a world tour, release an album with the same song played over and over  and rick roll everyone (should I call it versailles roll ?)

 

MH DL section is dying, less and less members are sharing stuff, and people are now forced to buy CDs to listen to music (such a disaster)

MH Drama over and over

MH trolls being more present than ever and get supported behind the scene by "important" people from the forum 

Val daily newsletter for Rarezhut stops and hourly newsletter happen because she thought daily was not enough.

[chris 31]

i mostly just have predictions of mejibray since they consume my days off and everything in my bank account, leaving nothing for any other band

 

- mia does some kind of collab or solo project outside of mejibray and nobody really cares

- he also has at least 3 new prince outfits that are difficult to tell apart

- somebody gets sick and the schedule is in danger somehow

- at least 5 new cds and 3 new dvds

- two more tours after the one in may already announced

 

in terms of other bands i wanted to predict initial'L flopping more than already but someone else covered this

 

hoping to see malisend members in new bands but not holding my breath

The new song Nenriki is little different from these songs. But isn't nothing of special. Just remind me others songs from them.

[BrenGun 2261]

* KLACK will return for one DAY on the stage.

* Acid Black Cherry will disband and Janne Da Arc will return for a limited time.

* Kiwamu will lose all his bands on his label just like ROCKSTAR RECORDS because of a big scandal.

* E.T will finally come with a full ablum (okay that really finally gonna happen I think...)

* XAA-XAA will disband no matter how many fans they have.

* DEZERT will disband because of a nice drugs scandal.

* Of course again a random band nobody cares for will go to Europe.

* Sweet x Home will finally come with a damn great album and finally people will notice how amazing they actually are.

 

And the rest, well people kinda already wrote those shizzel.

[Tokage 5930]

is there actually any backing to this expectation of D goin' full kaisan besides that NYE event being canceled?

[nekkichi 6043]

I mean they came back with a shit tier album, and every session band/solo thing that the notable members have going rn is miles more interesting than w/e band itself comes up with.

cancelled gig w. a shady ass booking company doesn't help either - how hard is it for a major band to swap the promoter if shit didn't work out, you'd think their label has tha connectionz.

[IGM_Oficial 1964]

I think that:

• A9 will make another fundraising campaign to release two new EPs (and an instrumental version of one of them) and put them together on an NEW ALBOOM. Or at least a single;
• X-Japan will postpone "Japanese democracy" in ten years;
• Rockstar records will go bankrupt, Yayoi retires;
• Lizard neo will release two more installments for its "Agitation clysis" series;
• Kiryu will release five singles and the DVDs of its tour finals; B. P. RECORDS, PLEASE, STOP
• 958329843487523987932579832478594383 new bands will form, 958329843487523987932579832478594384 of them will disband still in 2017;
• Some random bandmen will get arrested for commiting randomer crimes, will die from randomer and obscure illnesses or will be victims of traffic accidents.

That's it for now.

 

What's on with people thinking that Xaa-xaa and Dezert will go major?

Edited January 4, 2017 by IGM_Oficial

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

I was right about predicting when Malisend would disband, so maybe I'll make lightning strike twice with this list!!!

 

 

-As already said, Malisend x Mediena hybrid band à la Valluna --> Diaura

-Devil Kitty remain independently produced, covering Gokiburi songs until mid-year, then release a new single on a new Yuuga-fronted label with a weird name (idk something like "Cool Tunez inc")

-Pentagon go major

-Arelquin churn out a new album but remain with Goemon for another year

-Grieva start taking influence from 2002~2006 Diru 

-Kuro Yuuri to Kage get a new drummer, but someone else leaves

-Kisaki does a bunch of other session bands and sponsors more concert series that bring back really cool bands who are now in their 50's 

-Another Agitation Clysis omnibus series of bands no one has ever heard of, plus one with a bunch of relevant vkei bands that didn't bother to select new songs

-Announcement for a new Versailles album for some time in 2018

-D releases  around 4 new singles and one of them has surprisingly good b-sides. A-sides are trash as per usual 

-This is Wataru's year

[Mamo 1172]

Ok so why do so many people keep saying that DeG will release a new single? First of all they've been releasing a single about two years apart and we just got one this year ex. 2012"Rinkaku", 2014"Sustain the Untruth", 2016 "Utafumi" and second they already announced a greatest hits/best album which people can vote for the songs it will include on twitter. Here's the info.: http://direngrey.co.jp/special/bestalbum/ Although no exact release date yet I'd still say more than likely 2017 and also I expect it to include new versions of the songs that appear on the album. So that should keep them busy all year even if they don't record new versions of songs for the album I still find it really unlikely that they will release a single in the same year as well. Especially considering that Kyo and Die both have ongoing side projects that they have to devote time to.

 

In short Dir en grey will not release a single in 2017, I'm certain of it.
