lukrecia 22 Posted December 28, 2010 The band's name will be 'Killing Boy', and the members will be: Kinoshita Riki (ART-SCHOOL; KAREN) - vocalist Hinata Hidekazu (Nothings Carved In Stone, STRAIGHTENER) - bassist Shinichi Ito (HINTO) - support member, guitarist Okita Takanori (Nothings Carved In Stone) - support member, drummer Their first release will come under Riki's label, VeryApe Records. The rumors say, that Inazawa Ahito (VOLA & THE ORIENTAL MACHINE, ex-ZAZEN BOYS) will be a guest member on it. The first live will be at “COUNTDOWN JAPAN 10/11“, but we don't have any more details about that. Well, even though ART-SCHOOL's last release was a bit disappointing for me, I'm looking forward hearing more from this band! Source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lukrecia 22 Posted December 29, 2010 btw, Karen's breaking up at the end of the year. I read somewhere that Riki requested a break from the band (through email no less) and somehow they ended up disbanding instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
