There are some news concerning サンドイッチで120分? (Sandwich de 120pun?).
First of all, it seems that 森川ツナ (Morikawa Tuna) became their official bassist, after being a support member for some time. However on that same day Tuna joined (May 2th), the support drummer called 鍵山ルッコラ (Kagiyama Rucola) left the band.
There is no official picture of Tuna so far, but he is ex. 176BIZ コウタ (Kouta) and his blog is located here. Lettuce posted his picture on his blog though:

Anyway, the band is planning two consecutive sponsored events pretty soon, entitled 『濃密思春期事変』(Noumitsu Shishunki Jihen).

Toketsukuma Records call these events the “血生臭いメルヘンシリーズ” (Chinamagusai Märchen Series), which means “Bloody Märchen Series”. The event details are as follows:
Date: June 19th @ Umeda Holiday
Title: 『血生臭い突撃 〜秘密都市篇〜』 (Chinamagusai Totsugeki 〜Himitsu Toshihen〜)
Performing: 電脳オブラアト (Dennou Oblaat), 太平洋ベルト (Taiheyou Belt), ピノキヲ (Pinokiwo), ロボコン (ROBOCON)
Date: July 9th @ Shinjuku ANTIKNOCK
Title:『血生臭い追撃 〜帝都篇〜』 (Chinamagusai Tsuigeki 〜Teitohen〜)
Performing: 駄菓子菓子 (Dagashi Kashi), マモノ (Mamono), ピノキヲ (Pinokiwo), 桃尻東京+テレビジョン (Momojiri Tokyo + Television)
The tickets cost 3000 yen when you buy them in advance. However, if you buy it on the day of the event, you will have to pay 10.000 yen (Special Sanpun price) and if you want to get a special favour, you have to buy the ticket for 31,120 yen.
レタス (Lettuce) has posted a following video on his blog today as well with some live footage by サンドイッチで120分? (Sandwich de 120pun?):
You can see the band’s new look there, which hasn’t been shown on the OHP yet though. What do you think about the video though?

ハーメルン (Hameln) (who lately tend to go under the name リハーサルセッションバンド ハーメルン )Rehearsal Session Band Hameln)) have uploaded their first PV to their official YouTube.

So what do you think about it then? Personally, this PV has just ensured me that they’re indeed a very promising band.
