XD I spazzed out so much when I heard the news. I can’t wait for the singles.
And Byou…ooft! He’s looking good.
OMG. What Rui looks great! I am so happy it’s him! Looking forward to SCREW’s new activities with him now.
*w*
Loving their new look <3
Rui has been in a few good bands before…. I'm sure he'll be able to fit in easily<3
I thought they might announce the new bassist at the concert… I think Rui fits them well. And they all look great ^^ I’m really waiting for the new singles.
Ohhh that’s so awesome! I really love ルイ, and already fits in with the band just fine~. Now I’m really excited to see them live in Japan later this year~ X3
I’m still spazzing – since I realised what was happening as their blogs changed this afternoon!
Oh! *-* I love rui, he is a great musician! very good choice!
He will make a great job (o* o *o) b, we look ances new singles!!
So this is where Rui went off to OuO<3
I’m not familiar with Rui, but I’m delighted to see the band back in the game so soon after! And the new look is pretty awesome too. Byou, in particular, seems somewhat reminiscent of much earlier looks of his.
YYYEEESSSSS. best news so far. i’m really happy that they found a new bassist, and so soon too! this is a good omen. :3
Awesome news! I’m really happy for SCREW that they found a new bassist!
I’m really looking forward to listen to their upcoming singles ^^ But I hope they’ll be better than their album X-RAYS.
this is shocking yet exciting =D!!!!
i’m excited to hear the new singles! Everybody looks freakin awesome ^_^!
Holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit.
This surprised me so much O A O (Maybe because I haven’t been into SCREW lately >_>)
But Rui seems to fit in so well with them. I’m loving the new look because I thought they really toned it down in X-RAYS ^^;;
Anyways, Byou’s new hair is great <3 I would pick this one over his blonde one any day.
And I am in love with Kazuki's outfit O w O (And Kazuki in general xD)
RUI! CUTE AS HELL
i am very excited about it! :3 even though i love yuu-chan, i hope rui will be just as well.
