random fact of the day
2
Jul, 2009
Again from Music Japan…. These questions and answers amuse me! I would want an umbrella like this because of my stubby arms wouldn’t be able to hold a large umbrella. Yasuno is so smart!
Q5：【Invent a never-before-seen umbrella!】
Out of the blue you are asked to design a brand new umbrella! If you were to invent an unheard-of added feature, what would it be? Please use this space to draw the design!
A5: A “hands-free umbrella” with something like roller skates under the handle. It would move automatically.

Jul, 2009
After three years of activity, モダン組曲 (Modern Suite) disbanded on July 1st.
The members explain that although they had various feelings about it, and felt that they wanted to continue, they could not reach a conclusion to how they wanted to proceed with the band. Therefore, they felt the best option was to break up.
They apologize for the lateness of the announcement, and hope that the fans can understand their decision. They thank all their “Babys” (fans) for their support.

Thursday’s new bands
2
Jul, 2009
Half way now ! Do you like having new bands introduced on ST ? Don’t forget, opinions are always welcome !
Today’s bands are :
Marrow Haze
Vo. Haizi
Gu. Daiki
Gu. Reki
Ba. Nao
Dr. You
Marrow Haze is another young band hailing from Osaka. Even if it’s written on their OHP that it’s opened for more than a year, I think they just made a mistake between the 2008 and 2009 because they seems to have formed only back in January ! Since then, they’ve been performing in the Kansai area (Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe), and lately, they’ve been taking part in some interesting events, like they will on July 15th for example at Kyoto ARC DEUX along with bands such as : WHITEBLACK, n’Dool, R指定 (R-Shitei), GRiST, or LiCKER…
The band also have a Myspace on which you listen to their first song entitled 「Blooming Out of Season」! The recording quality isn’t the best, but they sound rather good to me, so you should keep an eye on them ! And actually, this song is just one song out of the three tracks there are on their first distributed single, that they’ve been giving out since April (100 copies).
OHP : http://marrow-haze.com/
Shade
Vo. Ryuu
Gu. Shingo
Ba. Jou
Dr. Takuto
Once again, this is a fairly young band from Osaka ! The band officially formed in November 2008, and they’ve started live activities in the beginning of 2009.
An interesting point is that the band itself has written that they formed to create a music that could not be defined by words or that we could not affiliate with any kind of music we already know. As for their live, they want to show what the word “darness” means to them. All this may seem pretty common, but it’s always nice to see and understand what’s the band’s goal is !
Other than that, Shade will also have its first release this summer ! And it’s quite a big surprise for a such a young and small band but… they will start with an album ! The details are still unknown but it seems they’re working hard on it, the even took a month off of live activities in that purpose ! I’m really excited about this first release !

Tragus. news and introduction
2
Jul, 2009
Tragus. has announced that at their live on July 10th at HOLIDAY NAGOYA, their bassist 蓮架-Renka- will be leaving the band.
Renka’s reason for leaving is because he feels that his path in life, and the path for him being Renka of Tragus. are two roads that are not compatible. He apologizes to the fans and thanks everyone for their support, saying that Tragus. will continue to push forward, and even though he’s no longer in the band, he supports them from the bottom of his heart.
Tragus. isn’t a band we’ve introduced here on Shattered-Tranquility, so there’s no time like the present! This band about a year ago, on July 26th, 2008. Being based out of Nagoya, nearly all of their lives have been local.
They are currently (until July 10th) a four member band:
Vocals – 響 (Hibiki)
Guitar – 咲夜 (Sakuya)
Guitar – 庵 (Iori)
Bass – 蓮架 (Renka)
Each of the members have a blog on Ameba, so click their names above to check them out.
So far, Tragus. has released two free singles, one free mini-album, and a demonstration single which was 300 yen. You can check out their music on their OHP, and a few of the songs have links to samples. The samples, however, don’t work on my computer so I’m not sure if it’s just me, or if they’re not working at all.

Kazu leaves THE GOLDEN SPIDER
2
Jul, 2008
カズ (Kazu), guitarist for THE GOLDEN SPIDER, has announced that on August 25th he will be leaving the band. The reason for this is that his illness is getting worse.
He says that the illness he has is depression, and alongside that he has panic disorder. He can’t continue on being in a band with him being unstable day after day, and currently he feels that this decision is inevitable.
He apologizes to the fans and the members, and says that there are probably people surprised by his announcement, but this decision was a result of some serious thought. He doesn’t plan to completely give up music, and once his depression is cured he’ll do his best to be in a band again.
