You’ve been hearing from me from time to time with the Random Facts of the Day, but it’s high time that I brought a brand spanking new feature to the site!

Starting today, and every Friday from here on, I’ll be posting a weekly discussion question. I want you to let me know your answers and your thoughts. Feel free to post your reply, and to reply to others. I want to read what you guys have to say!

The questions will always be open ended enough that no matter what visual bands you like, you’ll be able to participate.

There are only three things I ask:
・ Be respectful of others’ opinions. You don’t have to agree, and you’re welcome to say you don’t, but don’t be a jerk.
・ Come back every Friday to answer the new question!
・ Share the question of the week with your friends. The more the merrier!

So our very first weekly discussion question will take you back to your visual kei roots.

How did you discover Visual Kei? What was your first impression?

Let me know!
And if you have any discussion questions for the future, send them to me!

tickets-on-sale-for-larcenciel-at-madison-square-garden

A quick heads-up for East Coast (US) L’Arc~en~Ciel fans – tickets for the March 25 Madison Square Garden date of their 2012 World Tour go on sale this Saturday, January 28 through Ticketmaster. But for those of you who just cannot wait to get your hands on those tickets, there is a pre-sale going on right now limited to fans who signed up for the mailing list ahead of time! According to sources, many people who signed up for this mailing list unfortunately did not receive the pre-sale link, but if you’re one of those less-than-lucky fans, don’t fret – ask around that L’Arcosphere and you are sure to find that link before the pre-sale closes.

The ticket page of L’Arc’s OHP has not yet been updated with details for the New York show, so it is as-yet unknown whether there will be VIP packages like there are for some of the other dates, but given that it *is* Madison Square Garden, the ticket levels are definitely tiered. Prices range from $54.00 to $99.50 a pop depending on where the seats are located (Ticketmaster fees *not* included, so brace yourselves for an extra $14+ “service charge”).

If you’re not familiar with the famed Madison Square Garden, there are five levels of seating and the arena, totaling room for 20,000 concert-goers. It’s not quite the size of Tokyo Dome, but it is New York’s ultimate entertainment stadium, where domestic and international acts alike solidify their superstar reputations by bringing together tens of thousands of fans in the heart of midtown Manhattan.

Keep your eyes peeled, your credit card numbers memorized, and your trigger fingers hovering over that home row because the good seats are going fast!

Though リルト (Lilt) hasn’t officially updated their website yet, they’ve brought in a new guitarist after Akito’s departure early last year. Yuuha posted a very brief introduction on his blog:

I’m 由羽!
The reading is
“Yuuha”!
From here on out I’m a member of Lilt!

 

In a more recent post he’s mentioned that his current photo is from his old band, but since he hasn’t finished photographing with Lilt yet he’s using it as a stand-in, and has promised to update his photo as soon as it’s possible.

ZERO posted this message to his blog on January 21:

I’m deeply sorry for the sudden report.
Due to several matters, dolore’s TOWMA left the band on 1/20.
Though everyone is going to be shocked by the sudden announcement, the report regarding this matter will be considered as stated above.
Hereafter as four, ZERO, SHOGA, LEONA, and HIZKA, we’ll continue activities, so please support us from now on as well.
 
Translator’s note: I believe in the third line he’s trying to say that this is all the band is going to say about it.

 
TOWMA has already been removed from the band’s OHP, which incidentally has no message about his departure. With such an unclear statement it’s uncertain whether TOWMA will continue along in the industry or not, but I suppose time will tell.
