Shoutaro Leaves LAMF

shoutaro-leaves-lamf

 

Do you remember when we introduced ラムフ (LAMF)? Pointed out by kano, one of our readers, it seems guitarist Shoutaro has left the band, turning it into a two-member project with just kazumi and Naoto remaining. Fortunately, it seems they’ve acquired a support guitarist pretty quickly! That would be ex-Ellseed member, Suzu.

 

The band doesn’t seem to be slowing down, either; they’ve launched a Myspace and Facebook pages where you can listen to a preview of their music as well as stay up-to-date on their activities.

2nd single for Variations

2nd-single-for-variations


Variations so far has only released a demo single when they first debuted, now the band is releasing their second single called 『For you』. In addition to the new single (which sadly will only be available at lives) they are also sponsoring an event called “VARIaLIVE × NarciSSISM” its a VARIATIONS × Urawa Narcissus joint sponsorship on November 28.

I know perhaps a few of you really want to hear the band’s sound but can’t get a hold of their demo singles. You can actually listen to previews of both their tracks on myspace! The band created a myspace last month and need fans to friend it! Add them over here. The band also had a spot clip showing them hard at work.

What do you think of the new look and new single? How many follow this band?

Drums: REIYA || ex. Pashya → chariots

They are already planning to release few CDs though! We’ve already talked about the mail-order premium CD entitled 「凛」 (Rin). It seems though that they’ll also participate in an omnibus called 「NEO VOLTAGE」, which we already talked about some time ago. What is even more important, however, is the fact, that the song which will never be included on any other CD.

However, the band is going to release their first maxi single on the 2nd of June! It will be entitled 「As If Forever Exists.」 and come in 3 types: a limited one for 2100 yen and two regular types for 1670 yen each. What is more, you will get one trading card chosen randomly from 12 types with every CD.

Limited Edition Type A:

【CD】
01. As If Forever Exists.
02. Fall…

【DVD】
01. As If Forever Exists. PV

Regular Edition Type B:

01. As If Forever Exists.
02. Fall…
03. Imaginary Lover

Regular Edition Type C:

【CD】
01. As If Forever Exists.
02. Fall…
03. Fake Dance

If you buy all three types, you can send the tickets included in the CDs to the band and you will get a signed bonus DVD with a making-of to 「As If Forever Exists.」. What is more, if you pre-order all 3 types through Bands@id, you will receive a bonus DVD entitled 「Fake Dance」, which will be a how-to-dance (Furitsuke) guide DVD to that song.

The band is also going to have several instore events to promote the release:

time! You will be able to see it on OHP, YouTube, KISAKI’s MySpace, Bands@id, INDIVISUAL (with English subtitles).

The band has set a MySpace, so make sure to follow them; the link to their OHP is located here though.
