Two new members for Virgil
1
Feb, 2012
Virgil have announced that two new members have joined their ranks!
The new members, both guitarists, are たかと (Takato) [ex-BLACK LINE] and るた (Luta) [ex-Le Vert].
As Virgil fans probably know, the band is a set of stewards, who each have their own special persona and role in the band that goes beyond just playing their instrument.
Takato’s profile reads the following:
At a mansion in a certain country, the stewards [Virgil members] had overheard a rumor about a steward that could manage household affairs at an outrageously quick speed. So, they scouted him.
It was then that the members of Virgil witnessed an amazing spectacle.
Even though he [Takato] had just sat down at the desk, the notebook that is used for keeping the member’s schedules became filled with characters as if done on its own.
But it was because Takato’s fingers were so fast, that their eyes didn’t even see him write.
Now, he is the fastest steward in Virgil.
“The crimson flash, Takato” is the steward in charge of scheduling.
Everyone will be surprised
at the speed of his fingertips.
As for Luta:
Originally, he began by observing another butler, and at least his talent cooking and being a sommelier bloomed.
And now even tonight, he’s flourishing with his magnificent cookware.
He manipulates the flames.
In reality, while observing another master’s steward, he secretly travelled around, gaining skills at various restaurants.
At last, he earned full mastery in everything from Vichyssoise to tempura.
He, who is the steward that can handle the blue flame with such grace is called,
“Blue lightning Luta”.
Roa also wrote the following update in his blog, regarding each member’s position:
This is
Virgil’s vocalist
Roa.
From here on, it’s as follows:
The steward in charge of supervision
RoaThe steward in charge of scheduling
TakatoThe steward in charge of cooking and bartending
LutaCleaning, laundry, TDP
AsaAnd
Our bodyguard steward
YuujiVirgil’s dancer
KoutaDo*
With everyone united, we will do our best.
Please continue to support us m(_ _)m
May 19th
Our 3rd anniversary memorial oneman concert
“It’s our three year anniversary, Masters”.
at Shibuya BOXX
Please come! m(_ _)m
* He wrote Do just like that.
As mentioned above, Virgil will be celebrating their three year anniversary with a live on May 19th at SHIBUYA BOXX. All those who attend will receive a free demo CD signed by all of the members.
If you want to catch Virgil with the new line-up, their upcoming schedule is as follows:
February 20th @ Ikebukuro BlackHole
March 3rd @ Harajuku Astro Hall

BORN’s new single

Feb, 2012
All BORN fans have something to look forward to in March!
The band will be releasing a new single titled, “RADICAL HYSTERIA” on March 21st. The single, which is priced at 1575 yen, contains a total of three tracks:

2. COBRA
3. IN CREATURE
The band had two oneman lives planned for March 17th and 18th, which have both already sold out, so congratulations to them!
However, if you’re itching to see them live, they will be having four more oneman lives in May, called “bug scremo “CRAZY” section.1~4″. The lives all cost 3500 yen to attend, and tickets are on sale from now until February 14th.
May 6th @ Takadanobaba AREA – section.1
May 13th @ Takadanobaba AREA – section.2
May 20th @ Takadanobaba AREA – section.3

Don’t forget BORN’s newest album, “VIGOUR”, goes on sale today! If you haven’t already, you can pick up the First Press Limited Edition (CD + DVD) or the Regular Press (CD + 2 bonus tracks at CDJapan.
Recently, BORN did an interview for VISULOG which is now available for reading. One interesting question was about the title of their new album. This was the answer.
Interviewer: What’s the meaning of the [album's] title, “VIGOUR”?
Ryoga: At first, we were interested in the sound of the word, and everyone thought it sounded good. So, we looked it up, and we found that it meant things like, “vitality” and “ferocious”. This album is the opening of 2012, so while it has a good semantic meaning of moving forward, we chose the title “VIGOUR” beacuse we felt that the sound and atmosphere of the word matched the album. In other words, it’s our way of declaring our intentions to push on.
Are you excited to hear their new single coming in March? And how about “VIGOUR”?
