All right, a couple things are happening~~~.
First off, goth band, GPKISM, is to release their first maxi-singling, 'Illuminatum', on September 17th. Now, GPKISM isn't a Japanese band... But. They're still amazing, and the guitarist of BLOOD, Kiwamu is in it. 'Illuminatum' is set for 666 copies, so you should prob'ly work on buying it right away. It will more than likely be available at the Tainted Reality store.
Also, popular J-Rock band, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, is losing a member. Makii, the vocalist, is leaving the band for she's getting married to Nakamura Masato from the band DREAMS COME TRUE. Now, I'm not sure what's gonna' happen to the band. Whether they'll keep playing, replace her, break up, or whatever. But. I'unno. Hopefully Maakii is happy with her new life.
As well, some LM.C news. Popular Oshare Kei band, LM.C., is to release their first live DVD, 'Rock the Party '08' on September 17th. Also, the band is going on their first European tour. Currently, only two dates have been announced.
January 31st at Rock Store - Montpellier, France
February 1st at La Locomotive - Paris, France
Alsooooo, Toshi from X Japan's 'T-EARTH' project. The band is going to be performing live for the first time at the Pusan rock festival on August 2nd, as well as releasing their first album, 'Earth Spirit', on August 8th. Also, some news on their drummer. It's been confirmed the LEVIN, from THe Husky as well as ex-La'cryma Christi member, will be drumming for the band during the Nagoya, Sendai, and Sapporo. And Shinya, drummer from Luna Sea, will be drumming at the Fukuoka, Osaka, and Tokyo gigs.
S'yeah. That was a lot of typing... Uhhh. Yeah. See you. Until other J-Rock related things happen~. x3
