27
Dec, 2010
NEOPHILIA has made a surprise announcement: they’ll be going major through KING RECORDS in February!
Their first major release will be a single called un chain, to be released on February 23rd for 1,500 yen. The single will come with four songs, and the tracklist has already been announced:
un chain
01. ZERO
02. Butterfly
03. Juggler
04. Contact With The God
This is a huge step for NEOPHILIA, especially since they’re such a young band, having only released one CD so far! KING RECORDS is also the label for such bands as the GazettE, so they’ll have some pretty big shoes to fill. Will you be supporting NEOPHILIA?

Matenrou Opera going major
11
May, 2010
Thank you to everyone who sent this in!
During their oneman anniversary live on May 6th at Shibuya C.C. Lemon Hall, 摩天楼オペラ (Matenrou Opera) announced that they would be leaving the indies scene and going major!
The following entry was posted by Anzi in the band’s blog on their OHP:
We finished everything up safely.
There are a lot of things I want to say, but I’m not very good with words…
So, instead I’ll write simply what was said in our MC last night.
For an obscure band to celebrate their three year anniversary by doing a live at the hall in Shibuya… it’s honestly quite amazing.
It really gives you confidence, and being able to keep standing on that stage in the front, seeing these awesome members and staff, and of course all of the fans who have been supporting us being there…
It’s really something that I feel I can be proud of.
Truly, thank you.
This autumn, we’re going to be advancing into the major field.
“COCOON” was a song that we made so that we could convey that exact intention.Our first country-wide oneman tour, “Emergence from COCOON” will in reality be our last insides tour.
We couldn’t truly convey what we wanted to in words… so, at all of our performance, we made sure to perform “COCOON”.
If our fans from all over the country can take this message from us and pass it on, we’ll be happy.
For our “Fan Thanksgiving” in July, and our last indies live in August, let’s make them the best days we can!
And for us, from here on in, we’ll keep on coming! We’ll take all of you with us to the top!!
Everyone, thank you★
The band’s last indies live will be on August 30th at Shibuya AX, and they will be making their major debut with King Records.
The “Fan Thanksgiving”, which is also a oneman show, will take place on July 28th at Shibuya O-EAST.
Some of the other members have also mentioned the announcement in their blogs, basically stating the same things that Anzi did. Both Sono and Yu have stated that even though they’re “changing fields”, their music will not change.
