Aside from all of these releases, events, and tours, Black Gene has finally set up an official blog!
You can visit it here.
Finally, a bit of fun news.
As I’m sure a lot of you already know, fans at Japanese concerts like to do what they call 振付 (furitsuke), which roughly translates to “choreography.” Usually, the fans will create it themselves or improvise based on cues from the band members. Black Gene, however, has set their own rules for the game by making their own furitsuke videos!
First up, we have 「桜乱トランスdestiny」 (Sakura ran trance destiny)
Then we have 「獄彩夢」:
If you’re planning on going to a Black Gene live in Japan, don’t forget to practice, practice, practice!
Keep checking the site for more Black Gene updates…

SOPHIA’s Activity Pause
10
Apr, 2013
Sad news for SOPHIA fans today.
It was announced on Natalie.mu that SOPHIA would be stopping all band activities after their countrywide tour.
Natalie.mu’s article:
It has come to light that after their current countrywide tour, which is now in progress, SOPHIA will go on an activity pause.
For details on the activity pause, the band explained, “It’s because in 2014 we face our 20th anniversary and we share a mutual feeling of wanting to once again reevaluate our activities up until now, as well as our future as artists, the existence of all the fans supporting us, and the music that each member should express as SOPHIA.” The Nippon Budokan performance in Tokyo on August 12th will be the last live before the pause.
SOPHIA formed in 1994 and had their major debut in 1995. Facing the 15th anniversary since their debut, in 2010 it was disclosed that keyboardist Miyako Keiichi was suffering from a malignant follicular lymphoma tumor and the band took a temporary pause, but with Miyako’s recovery the next year, activity was restarted in 2011. They have released a new album, “Mirai Otona Sengen,” this past March.
And here’s what the band has to say:
Thank you for supporting SOPHIA, now more than ever.
It is a sudden bulletin, but after this current countrywide tour,
SOPHIA will pause band activity.Since the 2010 hiatus, we went through a contract cancellation and label transfer from the office we advanced together with for 15 years,
And with Miyako’s comeback we restarted band activity, but because in 2014 we face our 20th anniversary and we share a mutual feeling of wanting to once again reevaluate our activities up until now, as well as our future as artists, the existence of all the fans supporting us, and the music that each member should express as SOPHIA,
At this time we will take a break from activity.The current schedule is this countrywide tour,
And after this tour SOPHIA will stop all band activity.We would like to ask for your understanding,
Starting with all the many fans, and the staff we have worried.April 9, 2013
SOPHIA Matsuoka Mitsuru, Toyota Kazutaka, Kuroyanagi Yoshio, Akamatsu Yoshitomo, Miyako Keiichi

Introducing: VOW
22
Mar, 2013
We’ve got a new band based in Tokyo to introduce today.
VOW is a 4-piece band that will begin its live activities starting from May 21st, 2013. On March 20th, they made their first audio release with 「ロンリーラビット」 (Lonely Rabbit). It includes three tracks: 「ロンリーラビット」, 「キケンな愛」 (Kiken na Ai), and 「心の果て」 (Kokoro no hate). The bad news is that it can only be purchased in Japan. The good news is that the band has decided to release all three tracks included on the CD as free MP3 files on their official home page! Just visit their “SOUND” section to listen.
Without further ado, here’s the lineup:

Acid Black Cherry’s “Shangri-la” Project
22
Mar, 2013
Acid Black Cherry made a big announcement earlier this month, but details have finally been posted.
“Shangri-la” is a project that spans all of 2013 (and possibly 2014?). It was inspired by the concept of the world ending in 2012, but since it didn’t, ABC wants to make all of Japan smile with their music! So, while releasing new songs throughout the year, they will be holding 5 parts of one giant tour throughout 2013. Where will it take place? Throughout all 42 prefectures of Japan! (When he said countrywide, he really meant countrywide).
The dates for the first season, including shows in Tohoku and Hokkaido, were announced today:
August 13th @ Fukushima Cultural Center Hall (Fukushima)
August 17th @ Akita Cultural Assembly Big Hall (Akita)
August 21st @ Sendai Sun Plaza (Miyagi)
August 25th @ Link Station Hall (Aomori)
August 29th @ Otaru City Meeting Hall (Hokkaido)
September 2nd @ Nitori Cultural Hall (Hokkaido)
September 6th @ Asahikawa Cultural Assembly Big Hall (Hokkaido)
September 9th @ Obihiro Cultural Big Hall (Hokkaido)
September 13th @ Hakodate City Meeting Hall Big Hall (Hokkaido)
September 15th @ Morioka Citizen Cultural Meeting Hall (Iwate)
All tickets will be 7500yen.
As more tour dates and singles are announced, S-T will keep you posted!
