MoNoLith Presents MICHINOKU Autumn Tour 2011 “Touhoku Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!” @ Aomori Quarter
31
Jan, 2012
This is a report I wrote a few months ago (as the date will tell), but was never published online. So, I’d like to share it with you, in hopes that you may learn about a new band or two!
(At the time of this report NEXX had not announced their dissolution.)
Heavy rain did nothing to deter a small crowd from forming outside of Quarter as early as an hour before doors opened on September 18, 2011, to one of the rare few visual kei live tours to come up to the area. Tohoku, the north-eastern part of Japan which includes Aomori, is so far out of the way for most musicians that it frequently gets missed on tours. It goes without saying that local visual fans were eager for the opportunity to attend a live close to home.
The first band to take the stage was global ray, a local group from Aomori reminiscent of the “Soft V” genre in looks with a pop-rock sound. Though the locals call them “osare”, they came across a little too dark (and almost menacing!) in presence to fit the title. Their five-song set included “Kusatta Umi to Akai Sora”, an attention-getter with melodic guitar sections and smooth solos. “Byakuya”, their final, made their overall sound a little heavier with the use of an impressive grinding guitar and bass section. The band members tended to keep to their own parts of the stage and only seemed to get more comfortable with showmanship at the end of their set. They have potential, without a doubt.
Note came on next, opening with a considerably long instrumental track before any members set foot on stage. As the music played on, the tension in the room rose and finally we had our second act. Hailing from Morioka, Note’s members wore all black and had an eerier look than the first act. Their sound was easily heavier, incorporating guttural screams, low guitar riffs, and pounding bass lines that could shake you to the bone. After four songs their set was over, but not before warming the audience up for the next band.
NEXX was a stark contrast to the darker-looking bands before them; they entered in sparkly sequined outfits, boasted brightened dyed hair, and carried with them an undeniable upbeat energy that hadn’t before been present on stage. Though their looks were osare without a doubt, their sound was not what might have been expected. CHISA’s melodic vocals atop heavy backing music frequently shifted to growls that suited the band’s brilliant energy surprisingly well. Throughout their four-song set, NEXX boasted harmonic guitar sections that showed off how well-matched the newest guitarist, hayato, was to hide (guitar), despite playing together for less than a year. They stood out from the bands before them and the bands that were to come and definitely put on a memorable act.
Fourth in the lineup came resilience in the form of a five-man band down to four members with their vocalist out ill. Many fans were unsure of just how dolore would perform without ZERO, their front man. Guitarist TOWMA took center-stage but without disturbing the front-and-center spot where their vocalist would normally stand. He used the microphone that stood there quite a bit for MCs until the last song, when he asked the audience for permission to sing for ZERO. The previous three songs had included a vocal track in the background while the band played with seemingly no hesitation about the fact that they were missing a member.
Osaka-based Royz was welcomed to the stage fifth by the most enthusiastic fans yet. Similar to NEXX, they also donned shiny costumes, a rainbow of dyed hair between the members, and somehow even more energy which was put into every minute they performed. “JOKER” opened the set with some complicated furi that the audience seemed to have no problem jumping right into. Upbeat and enjoyable throughout, their bright music, sprinkled with heavy riffs and occasional growling from Subaru (vocals), challenged everyone to follow the beat with some of the most complex furi the night had to offer. Royz closed their set with “still”, a soft song which incorporated the use of band-brand light sticks. Before they turned the stage over to the sixth act, several members leaned into the crowd to touch and shake hands.
Another sparkling band entered. SCAPEGOAT was up to rock the live house with a stunning five song set. Yet another band with boundless energy, they saw more audience participation than any act so far, with even the very back row swinging their arms and head banging accordingly. Haru’s melodic voice carried over the sea of furi and dropped onto the crowd in contrasting growls that suited their music well.
It’s hard to overstate how intense and emotive the final band was, and even harder to try and describe their music. Originally from Sendai, MoNoLith brings something unusual to the visual kei scene. The band is a five-piece unit. They only have one guitarist, but two vocalists, which made for beautiful and riveting harmonies throughout their set. The venue was practically thrumming with energy as they performed, while even the fans in the back of the live house participated in the furi. Their fourth song, a new tune called “dizzy★monster”, required some demonstration for the hand movements but everyone cooperated and it was all great fun.
In the band, Ryu’s voice is sweet and pretty, while Keita’s screams are expert. The real hook about this duo, however, is the fact that they are multi-faceted; Keita’s singing voice was also beautiful, and Ryu could handle his growling. With these two leading the band, MoNoLith had the entire venue moving until the end. The conclusion was “Gobura”, a song that was particularly striking in the fact that its furi included kneeling not once but twice – and everyone in the hall complied.
There couldn’t have been a much stronger ending for a rare night of visual kei in Aomori. The combination of different sounds from these different bands all but guaranteed there was something for every visual rock fan to enjoy. If you ever have a chance to get out and see some Tohoku visual kei you’ll surely find something you like, too!

Shiva Disbands
31
Jan, 2012
Earlier today, the following announcement was posted on Shiva’s website:
More than ever, we would like to thank you deeply for supporting Shiva.
At this time it has been decided that after Shiva’s performance at Takadanobaba AREA on April 12, 2012 (Thurs) the band will dissolve.
We are terribly sorry to everyone that gave us there support, and to all related persons, for this kind of unfortunate news.
Until the last live all the members will strive along with all their might, so we would be grateful for your understanding.
Shiva, all members
The members each have their own messages on their blogs as well.
Hashiki
This is Hashiki.
Today I have a sad announcement for everyone.
At Shiva’s 4/12 (Thurs) performance at Takadanobaba AREA we’ll disband.
I’m really sorry to everyone that’s supported us, for this news.
It seems sudden, but since a loooong time ago there was a part of me inside with a hazy feeling, and recently it came to the point where there’s nothing left to do; real, normal living became difficult.
Shiva is really important [to me], but as a work colleague there’s always been a part [of me] that can’t possibly trust from the heart. There’s been absolutely no time for my heart to rest and I can honestly say I hit my limit.
Right now I’m frazzled to the point that I can’t think at all about what I’ll do after we disband on April 12.
Since Shiva was the only dream I painted, I don’t even know if I’ll do music, and I don’t know about the other members, either.
To this extent, it was only Shiva.
I think there’s bound to be the kind of music that only Shiva can do, and that of course won’t change even now, so there’s pride as an artist, but the bands are really tough.
Having all the members going in the same direction with the same passion as all the other members is really tough.
Anyway, after this we have a one man in Nagano, and also a one man in Tokyo, so until the end I’ll live only as Shiva’s Hashiki with all my might.
Really, thank you for always supporting us.
Give us your best until the end.
Yuuki
I have sad news for everyone from Shiva.
Shiva will disband at the April 12 live at Takadanobaba AREA.
I’m really sorry for the sudden announcement.
It was too hard.
I intend to go on living unrelated to music.
It’s been too emotionally hard the past several months
I’ve come to dislike even listening to music.
I’m really sorry to everyone who came to like and support Shiva.
I can’t stand on stage with a feeling of incompleteness. If a band has no spirit there’s no meaning.
Anyway, I’ll do my very best until the last live
so please treat Shiva well for only a little while longer.
Kaori
I have sad news.
Once we hold the performance on 4/12 at Takdanobaba AREA, we have decided on Shiva’s dissolution.
It was only a little at a time but the people who have come to like Shiva has increased, and at this time, I am truly sorry that we will take the form of half-finished intentions. We weren’t able to keep the promise we made at the time [our] results for V-ROCK were no good, that we’d definitely take you all to Budokan or Saitama Super Arena. I’m sorry.
However, until the last moment of 4/12 I won’t cut any corners, so I intend to face it with no less power than I have up until now.
Let’s have fun until the final moment.
Shige
Everyone who has supported Shiva
as well as everyone who has been related to Shiva
Thank you always
It is sudden
but at this time we
have decided that Shiva
will carry out the performance at Takadanobaba AREA
on April 12
and disband
I am terribly sorry that it came to this kind of announcement
I think after our disbandment I will officially write here
the reason for our dissolution and words of gratitude towards everyone
Because it does not mean we are disbanded yet
there will be no change in facing and tackling the one mans with all our power
Until the day that Shiva disbands I hope to have a fun time together
I am sorry to trouble you with a trite sentence
But until later please treat us well

Para:noir’s Parting Messages
30
Jan, 2012
With the announcement of their breakup, Para:noir members left their fans with some very heartfelt messages which have given us some insight as to why they decided to call it quits.
Akane
You guys who’ve supported us from the heart. I’m truly sorry.
When Yukino’s departure was decided,
I thought something like “already, only disbandment is left”.
It’s not like just any member who can play an instrument is okay.
Even if a really great member was found, it was my belief that I can’t just be in a band that just changes one [member] after another.
So, at that time everyone talked together over and over and we decided to break up.
I’m truly sorry. That was the only feeling I can’t express.
But
At SHIBUYA O-WEST on April 30 that we all decided
I thought we’ve just gotta stand on this stage no matter what.
Since we’ve even decided on breaking up from the heart, we haven’t even done one sloppy live.
We haven’t even created one sloppy song or word.
The remaining lives and the songs born from our hearts — they’re the same.
I believe I can only express that.
I’m truly, truly sorry.
-satoshi-
For me, the feeling of not wanting to accept the word “dissolution” was huge.
Until now I came to think of Para:noir as my complete axis, I did lives, I did my best. It’s been an existence to the point that’s it’s really no exaggeration to say that it was my everything.
That one beloved thing is going away.
I feel like there will be nothing left.
But, after understanding perfectly that in continuing activity, we have a connection of feelings and continuing to ignore the differences in the members’ feelings is no good, we talked together, and it turned into an announcement of this sort.
It’s not like just anyone being a member of a band is okay, so there’s no such thing as ‘if we could keep Para:noir’s form there’s no problem if we keep changing’.
I really feel truly sorry that as a result we’ve betrayed everyone.
I am really grateful to the fans that always supported us. Inside of me is a very important and precious existence. Through the band that became my axis, it became a precious existence… you have all become a big part of my axis, too.
With our Para:noir’s activities there was everyone’s warmth and importance, the difficulties of music, the struggles of continuing, pain, the joy of working hard, a sense of accomplishment; I gained so much. While living through now, they’ve certainly been the deepest times; they were experiences.
Really, thanks for everything.
Until the end I’ll knock myself around and keep doing my best so please support us.
I want you to accept the end of Para:noir perfectly.
Aizawa Sho
The band can continue so that’s good – it’s not like this.
It’s the accumulation of people’s feelings.
To the band, no words like “change is good” exist.
A place where the same beloved people can always exist.
All of the members thought about all the other members and made them important,
And we belong in a place where we have to stop existing.
It’s not ideal.
It has to be this way.
During these talks among the members,
“I can’t show my face to you guys”
These words had ruled my body and mind.
What I’ve said up until now.
How each [of us] takes the blow is different, but
The feelings of the fans that decided to support us.
“Support us from now on okay”
“Since we’ll always be together”
I thought about it a lot and despaired.
But we decided once to stand on April 30 at O-WEST.
We hafta protect what we decided no matter what; we dunno what’s right and what isn’t right.
I thought about it over and over.
I’m really sorry about this news.
But since we made this news, after this there are tons of things we should show you first.
The music we’ve come to make until now.
Lives. Time. Space. Memories.
The futures we’ll continue to make from now on.
Our feelings that we can relay directly to the fans are blocked.
I want us to look together,
To listen together,
To feel together.
To live together.
I’m really sorry for being selfish.
Thank you always.
Yuuya
To all the fans and all parties involved, I am sorry for surprising you with a sudden announcement.
In addition to this I also have news. I decided that when the April 30 one man is over, I will retire from the music industry.
I had a lot of memories.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us until now. It would make me happy to have you watch over us warmly at the remaining lives. Please.

A little goodbye

Jan, 2012
We started ST back in 2007, it was different, unique and really just a hobby from the minds of 3 friends. During that time I would have never imagine the site getting as big as it is now.
This wasn’t an easy decision but my life has became quite hectic – with a new job and now planning a wedding, I hope you guys understand. Thank you to everyone who has emailed, followed and helped ST grow – I’ll miss working on the site and talking to fellow VK fans but I know the site is in amazing hands. I am very proud of the site and look forward to see it continue to grow!!!
Thank you guys for all of the amazing years and memories!!

This is our first country wide tour as Aoi & Ryohei!
And it could very well be our first and last country wide tour.
Everyone, make sure you don’t miss it!
Because of the venues, the priority tickets are quickly selling out, so make sure you buy your tickets soon, okay? (Smiles)That’s all the news I have.

Weekly Discussion Question – Round I
27
Jan, 2012
Hello my dear Shattered-Tranquility.net readers!
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!
