sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Suggested to make a general artist thread for these guys especially since I love to post about every single little update. No new substantial news out yet beyond their first single but it seems like they're gearing up to start promoting for their 2nd single Also I have hard time deciding between these guys and Verxina for best band that debuted in 2018 but fuck they're both so good Edited December 18, 2018 by chipathy 2 suji and Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 18, 2018 Having a hard time figuring this out since I don't understand japanese but it seems like starting on 1.9 munou is starting some sort of club/series on nico video with the goal of what I assume is pushing out a steady flow of content. Also it seems like itll be about 520 yen to be able to watch the content. I'll correct any errors I made if people point it out to me 1 monkeybanana4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybanana4 1732 Posted December 18, 2018 Yup, the content will be on Nico (Japanese equivalent to YouTube) and they will have their own channel. It'll be fun to see what they'll do on their shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 18, 2018 Interesting theyll be charging for it but I dont mind. Anything to support these guys and to keep them going lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) god save me ive been interested in the band members' pasts so heres what i discovered according to visual ioner's website here's some members history https://www.last.fm/music/フォトスフィア this is the last fm page for the band called raysphere where ten started off at but it seems like Ten and Ruze have actually been bandmates for awhile since there seems to be alot of interlocking with some of the bands theyve been a part of even if its not mentioned in the visual ioner sitehttps://www.last.fm/music/J∀CK11/+wiki heres some jack11 info and as you can tell there's raysphere and regret herehttps://www.last.fm/music/Ｒｅｇｒｅｔ here's the regret page and theres some continued connections with nearly every band listed abovehttps://www.last.fm/music/響～hiViki～ etc etchttps://www.last.fm/music/VARB and lastly before munou na lucid another interesting tadbit is that during Raysphere's time (this was maybe like 2000-2005 from what i can gathered, Kiryu's Isshiki was also a part of the band so lol nice anyways what im getting at is, ten and ruze have been together for ages, but is this Hiro guy who shows up as the vocalist throughout most of these projects, the current Muku? @suji cause it seems like you were interested in learning more about this lol bonus observation, if this is all true, even tho munou is this new cool thing, the fact is that these guys have been making music possibly for 15+ years so big oof Edited December 19, 2018 by chipathy 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 19, 2018 ok maybe muku isnt hiro unless people have changed their info in the past lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 0 clue of how sales did but their debut mv in november broke 14k views so I guess that's at least something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gesu 1537 Posted December 19, 2018 I can't read Japanese very well so I won't be able to post/translate anything about them if I find it, but I appreciate the dedication from you, chipathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybanana4 1732 Posted December 19, 2018 It's no wonder their music sounds quite promising - some of the band members have lots of previous experience. Does guitarist iyu have any previous band experience or is this his first band? (Thanks for all the information/dedication on this new band! I can't decide either who is better them or Verxina. They're both decent, new bands.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 19, 2018 Yeah it seems like ten and ruze have been around since even before 2005 lmao, I've been able to figure out muku, and iyu were never part of these groups so they're either new guys in the scene or even more mysterious lmao (theres that whole thing that maybe muku was desire's vocalist but that's hard to confirm And their drummer is no longer in the band so idc to do research on him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 19, 2018 At first I thought maybe iyu was otake from avanchick but idk I dont see the similarities beyond pink hair lmao but otake does follow munou heavily so yah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybanana4 1732 Posted December 19, 2018 Quite interesting to see that the drummer left even before they really got off as a band. Are they using a support drummer? It seems so weird that both muku and iyu have no searchable history xD I feel they're too good to be completely new, but hey maybe there are. Who knows? VK is full of surprise, lol.

DESTINYGUY0316 363 Posted December 19, 2018 so Muku no have ex experiences from other band ( sound stranger ) Like newbies visual kei lovely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted December 29, 2018 Idk if someone can translate the tweet but are they already planning ahead to their 3rd single? Lol 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybanana4 1732 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I think he means that he can incorporate what he played in the Twitter video into the third single? It's nice to know at least Iyu is thinking far ahead to the third single, lol. Although it makes me curious as to what's going to be on the second single. Also, their first single is very promising as a new band. Each song is different from the other and showcases their potential. I'm quite excited to hear what they'll release next.

Paraph 826 Posted January 14, 2019 Recently ordered their single. It feels amazing to support the start of an indie vk act again. My 14 year old past self approves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paraph 826 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) it reminds me of the scarf-hand-thing from the game Stretch Panic Spoiler looks like it's back. that minimalist look must have been for White Day? or some other event. tbh i'm glad? kinda missed the insanity and trademark.
