They have finally posted their new look along with their new singer and boy did it surprise me!

Its Syu, the ex singer and member from heartless. The band disbanded back in August of this year. So now that we know who the newest member of boogieman is, what do you think?

The band also announced via their homepage that they will be releasing their 4th single with Syu sometime in March! We’ll have to stay tune, if you haven’t heard Syu’s vocals or heartless’ music before…their myspace is still up with samples so go take a look.
What do you think? Its exciting but I still miss Junno.

ZORO recently announced their hiatus.
However, yesterday during their last performance with all four members at C.C. Lemon Hall,
ZORO announced that drummer Yuya and guitarist Taizo will be leaving the band eventually.
But vocalist Ryuji and bassist Tatsuhi also announced that ZORO will not disband completely,
because the two of them will continue their activities in the future.

Amongst the sounds of sobs and crying of the audience,
Ryuji said: “ZORO won’t break up. I and Tatsuhi will protect ZORO.”
Is this considered good news or bad news ?

Golden Bomber making a major declaration!

We have interesting news from ゴールデンボンバー (GOLDEN BOMBER) concerning the rumors they would become major which were clearified on December 27th as musicJAPANplus posted following news on their homepage.
Yesterday on December 27th, Golden Bomber have held their tour finale of their Japan wide tour “Zenryoku Baka (lit.:”100% Idiot”)”, which had been SOLD OUT completely. Moreover, concerning their release “Golden Hour Shimohanki BEST”, scheduled for January 6th, 2011, they also made an important announcement.
This announcement, which was presented at the very end of the live stated that they will NOT go major! As they have kept up their energetic activities during the past year, they apparently received offers from seven major music companies. However, to be able to continue in their own style, they decided to stay independent.
“Because we want to keep doing useless things”, they conveyed to their fans jokingly. For those fans, it was certainly a priceless declaration.
Golden Bomber will be continuing with their unique style and everyone should keep an eye on this air-band. More details on the live performance will be released at MJP shortly so stay tuned!
Besides that the band has planned a tour in spring 2011.
