BERSERK disbands

berserk-disbands

It seems that, just a day after we posted about BERSERK losing all members except vocalist 挫苦炉 (Zakuro), he decided to dissolve the group rather than look for new members. So as of September 22nd, BERSERK is disbanded. Pretty sad, isn’t it?

News from MUCC

news-from-mucc

Some news for ムック (MUCC) fans. First of all they have a totally new look:

Secondly, the covers for the upcoming full-album 「カルマ」(Karma) are available now:


Limited Edition:
Regular Edition:

Don’t forget to pre-order the album while it’s still available though:

「カルマ」 (Karma) [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] (3990 yen)
「カルマ」 (Karma) [Regular Edition] (3150 yen)

Anyway, there is something really cool for MUCC fans though. YUKKE used to go to a school called 茨城県立小川高等学校体育館(Ibaraki-ken Ritsu Ogawakoutou Gakkou Taiikukan) and it seems that due to the significant decrease in number of enrolled students the school will be closed, which was announced 3 years ago. Since the school will soon be no longer, MUCC agreed to perform there. The live will take place on October 9th at the school and will be called 「さよなら小川高校、そしてありがとう」(Sayonara Ogawakoukou, Soshite Arigatou). The band even posted a short clip on their OHP about the live:

The live will cost 3000 yen and starts at 14:30. The live sounds cool, doesn’t it?

Furthermore, if you buy both the single and the upcoming album you’ll be able to participate in so called “SHAKE HAND PARTY”:

October 6th @ TOKYO DOME CITY LaQua Garden Stage 1F
October 10th @ Osaka Nishinomiya Gardens
October 11th @ Nagoya ASUNAL Kanayama
October 17th @ Fukuoka Canal City HAKATA

And finally, do not forget about the band’s autumn tour, which begins at the end of October!

News from XA-VAT

news-from-xa-vat

Not a long time ago I’ve mentioned that a rumour has been floating online about Kozi’s and Shuuji Ishii’s new band, called XA-VAT. It seems that this is fully confirmed now, the OHP has been slightly updated lately with more details.

First of all, the 4th member of the band is 小間貴雄 (Koma Takao), who used to be goatbed’s bassist, but more recently he was in a band called SITHA.

Member’s roles haven’t been revealed so far though, but there is another piece of amazing news. On the day of their first live, December 2nd, they’ll also be releasing their first CD! Unfortunately no more details are available so far about the CD.

As mentioned previously, the oneman on December 2nd will be held at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM. Tickets went on sale on September 25th and cost 5000 yen. It seems that with a ticket you’ll also get a special pamphlet.

What is more, the role of 鈴崎スゥ (Suzusaki Suu) is now described as “作者” (Sakusha; Author), however cryptic this may sound.
