There was an earlier post of the band’s first full album release here.

Following the release of the the first edition CD, selling out at a rapid speed, it has been officially decided today to hurry and make more prints of the album, coming out with a normal edition of「勝手にしやがれ」 (Katte ni Shiyagare). Release date will be on February 24th, 2010. The CD will also cost 3,150 yen as the previous edition and be limited to 1000 more copies. The CD will come with a band comment CD, original band member autograph card, and a band member photo card as the original print. Normal edition comes with a case, new 24-page photo booklet, and a photo sticker.

Will contain the exact same songs as the original edition:

01. 放送禁止のブルース (Housou Kinshi no Blues; Relaxation Prohibition Blues)
02. 勝手にしやがれ (Katte ni Shiyagare; Be Selfish)
03. 完全犯罪 (Kanzen Hanzai; Complete Crime)
04. 罠 (Wana; Trap)
05. 夜光虫 (Yakouchuu; Noctiluca)
06. 拝啓、売国奴の皆様　靖國の空が哭いています（SYGR MIX）(Haikei, Baikokudo no Minasama Seikoku no Sora ga Naiteimasu; To all the traitors, The sky in Yasukuni is weeping）
07. サヨナラセカイ (Sayonara Sekai; Goodbye World)
08. 縄と拡声器とヒロイン (Nawa to Kakuseiki to Heroine; Rope & Loudspeaker & Heroine)
09. 闇を嗤え＿警告（instrumental）(Yami o Warae Keikoku; Light’s Mocking Warning)
10. 堕落論（SYGR MIX）(Daraku Ron; Fallen Ring)
11. 依存 (Izon; Dependent)
12. 樹海 (Jukai; Sea of Trees)

It hasn’t been posted yet, so I’ll show you the CD cover (for those of you that haven’t seen/bought the CD yet). Normal edition CD cover is the same as the first edition release.

Heath really leaving X Japan? No says X Japan

Posted on April 21, 2009 in Media, Observation

heath-really-leaving-x-japan-no-says-x-japan

Ku sent an email pointing out some trouble Heath was having with his management.
Well it seems to be true, due to some issues with his management . HEATH will be leaving X Japan. The news was posted today on a local news site. Apparently these issues were one of the causes to the cancellation in Korea. After weeks of negotiation nothing was resolved and yet the tickets for Tokyo Dome still went on sale. Yoshiki has stated that the show will not be canceled and they will have a session bassist step in. Even though Yoshiki is at his home in USA, he will be returning to Japan to talk to HEATH in person.

{edit}Thanks to Shinta for showing this to me. Well now the news is that Heath proposed to leave the band, but the outcome seems that he will still stay with X Japan to finish up the reunion lives on May 2nd and 3rd. Yoshiki is also denying any talk of a session bassist/replacement. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

Yoshiki tells all

yoshiki-tells-all

Remember when I posted about about SAW IV director Darren Lynn Bousman and Yoshiki working together? Well he isn’t just a producer for the film, he is also singing the ending title for the movie. Well the movie has already had leaked songs on youtube and more trailers and previews all over the net! The film was supposed to be out by this spring but has been pushed back to November 7th. Here is an interview telling more about the movie and his involvement. Also I just found out that the official movie soundtrack – that Yoshiki produced – will be out in stores September 30th!

So convenient it hurts…

Posted on March 26, 2008 in Cool, Fandom, Fanmade, Media, Site

so-convenient-it-hurts

So I’m the type of person who doesn’t download PVs (unless it’s SCREW or neu, but even in that case I buy the CD the PV came with, but anyway..). I use youtube, megavideo, and imeem for all PV watching so I don’t have to download it and waste space that I could be using for more important things (like ~~not~~ porn). And lucky old me stumbled upon a Visual Kei PV directory type blog.

If you look on the left there’s tags with the name of the band, and the number in parentheses is the number of PVs of that band they have put up. Here’s the best part, they aren’t only youtube videos. It’s an accumilation of PVs from all sorts of video hosting sites, so you don’t have to go search through them all.

The only drawback is that it’s not in English. But I’m sure you can find the name of your favorite band if you try~! So you should bookmark this page, it’s super convenient.

MySpace + More song samples

Posted on March 16, 2008 in Media

myspace-more-song-samples

FUGA, who we wrote a brief little introduction for back in February and is a new band that started at the end of January, has their official MySpace up and running! Actually, they’ve had the MySpace for a little while, but now there are two song samples that I think a lot of fans would enjoy, so I just wanted to let everyone know and encourage you to go check them out!

⇒ http://www.myspace.com/fugakizuna

So, go give them a listen, come back here and let us know what you think.

They’ve also been posted up on Visunavi, which you can check out here.
