At their oneman this evening, Bergerac announced that on September 12th, they will be disbanding. The reason has not yet been stated. We will update with further details once they become available.

Thanks to Miyu to sending this info to us!
Bergerac updated their OHP with their new look. It promotes their 1st mini-album titled 『-SIXTH SENSE-』, which we have mentioned here some time ago.
What’s more, you can listen to the samples of the upcoming release on their OHP. Just go to the Discography section.
What do you all think about their new image and the samples though?

It’s always interesting to read people’s blogs isn’t it? Some people have the most interesting or bizzare or even quite ordinary things to post. One thing that caught my attention was a blog entry made by Narumi of Bergerac. It seems he has quite the love for fine arts. He was more than happy to receive a book about Jan Vermeer (a famous Dutch Baroque artist) He also claimed that he likes sculptured, and a particular artist by the name of George Segal. I did some research and this is what I found:
Now that is some pretty neat stuff. My favorite artist has to be Muffy McCheesepuff.

Every year a new edition of an omnibus album called CANNONBALL comes out.
This year, naturally, is no different.
CANNONBALL vol. 4 is set to be released on April 11th and features a total of seven bands. The tracklist isn’t published yet (from what I’ve seen at least…) but the bands participating are:
Bergerac
ダウト (D=OUT)
姫苺 (Himeichigo)
Juliette
ポワトリン (Poitrine)
キャンゼル (Canzel)
νNEU
The cost for this lovely omnibus album is 3200 yen.
The one thing I like about omnibus albums is that you can buy one CD and get a sampling of a bunch of different bands, which when you’re looking for new bands but need to save a little money, is always a helpful thing.

I’ve been waiting to hear more before I posted and finally, it came.
バビロン (Babylon) after what seems like months of inactivity has finally announced (on their journal) that they’ll be participating in an event on April 27th at Shibuya O-EAST.
I’m really excited to know that they’ll be doing something, after all that inactivity! There were lots of rumours flying around that they were going to or even had disbanded, but thankfully that hasn’t happened. (Knock on wood)
If you’re unfamiliar with the band or want to know more, be sure you check out this post!
They’re one of my favourite bands and I highly recommend them. ^^
Anyways, want more details?
They’re actually playing in an event put on by another band I love, ガイズファミリー (Guy’s Family) called 「ガイズパーティー vol. 4」 (Guy’s Party vol. 4).
Like I said before, it’s on April 27th at Shibuya O-EAST and will open at 4:00 and start at 4:30. The price is 3500 yen for advance order tickets and 4000 yen bought on that day.
The cast is:
ガイズファミリー (Guy’s Family)
バビロン (Babylon)
ゾロ (Zoro)
姫苺 (Hime Ichigo)
chariots
Moran
CELLT
Bergerac
Looks like a great lineup! Tickets go on sale starting February 23rd.

The live DVD that Bergerac was supposed to release on January 23rd entitled 「煌めく星屑、纏うカーテンコール」 (Kirameku Hashikuzu, Matou CURTAIN CALL) of their live from Shibuya O-WEST on November 3rd, has been postponed.
The new release date is February 6th and they apologize for the delay.
For anyone who hasn’t heard about the DVD, I might as well write a bit about it.
It’s… obviously a live DVD, however, there are also three PV’s on it and a message from the band. This release comes with an eight page colour booklet (which they say, is just wonderful). The first edition also comes with a double sided colour jacket and a set of five coloured photos from the live. (Chosen at random).
The tracklist for the DVD is:
・夢に舞う、君の姿 (Yume ni Mau, Kimi no Sugata)
・Clock Work Rhapsody
・Butterfly
・慟哭 (Doukoku)
・dress
・Ghost face
・雪の降る季節。刻む鼓動 (Yuki no Furu Kisetsu. Kizamu Kodou)
・-碧- (-Ao-)
・イノセント (INNOCENT)
・かけがえのない瞳へ (Kakegae no nai Hitomi e)
・東京ナイトパーティ (Tokyo NIGHT PARTY)
・揺曳なる想いを乗せて (Youei naru omoi wo nosete)
・restraint
・dress（PV）
・アザレア（PV） (AZALEA)
・夢に舞う、君の姿（PV） (Yume ni Mau, Kimi no Sugata)
The cost? Well, you have to spend a pretty penny for this one… 5250 yen.

Anyone else wondering why the live on the 9th in Saitama gets an extra band?
Posted on January 7, 2008 in New release
Wow, okay. There are a bunch of new releases to post about, but since I missed… almost two weeks (I did try to post a few things while I was gone!).
Sorry that this is long and some of the news is probably a tad old, but it was the holidays so I’m sure a bunch of others also aren’t totally caught up.
I arranged this in alphabetical order by band name to make it easier, haha.
According to CdJapan アヤビエ (Ayabie) will be releasing a new single on March 19th. It’s not yet posted on their OHP so I don’t have many details (and CdJapan doesn’t have any information like a title posted… just “untitled” which means that information is not yet released). The price will be 1890 yen for the A type and 1575 for the B and C types. What’s the difference? Type A comes with two songs and a DVD, type B comes with three songs and Type C comes with three songs. All types contain the same two songs, and B and C types contain a third different song. The jacket of the CD will be one of six varieties.
Bergerac has a new single coming out, with two types on March 5th! The single’s title is “-AMETHYST-” and the first press type includes a DVD whereas the second press is just the three song single. First press is 2100 yen and the second is 1575 yen.
There are two privileges that go along with the single and those are a ticket so that you can order their oneman ticket before it goes on sale to the general public and the second is an AMETHYST version trading card (one of nine).
jealkb has a new maxi single coming out on March 12th called “Fly”. First press comes with a DVD and is 1500 yen (cheap for a single with a DVD) and regular press is 1260 yen. The tracklist is:
01. Fly
02. 歪ミイズム (Ibitsu Miizumu)
03. shell
Mix Speaker’s Inc.’s first full album is coming out on February 13th! First press (DVD included) costs 3800 yen and the regular press is 2800 yen. The title of the album is 「MONSTER〜ポケットの中にはJUNK STORY〜」 (MONSTER～POCKET no Naka ni wa JUNK STORY～) and the tracklist is:
01. Monster Start Instrumental〜Family Ver.〜
02.JUNK STORY
03.Innocent World
04.My wish[Horror]X’mas
05.GO!GO!Bremen
06.We are HA-CHA-ME-CHA’Z

11.未来の君へ (Mirai no kimi e)
The DVD that comes with the first press includes PVs for Innocent World and If.
Pizzcato will be releasing their first maxi single on March 5th (like everyone else) for 1260 yen called 「新世紀型：電脳トレンド企画案」 (Shinseikikata: Dennou TREND Kikakuan). The single has two tracks and is limited to 1000 copies. The tracklist is:
01. リリカル・ルリカル (LYRICAL・RURIKARU)
02. ヴェローナ、広場にて (VERONA, Hiroba nite)
RABBIT will be putting out their first full length album with a total of ten songs on February 3rd! The album is called “UNIVERSE” and the cost will be 2800 yen.
The tracklist is:
01. CHANCE
02. SAMURAI SOUL
03. Blue Days
04. もう君の心に僕がいなくても (Mou kimi no kokoro ni Boku ga inakutemo)
05. DREAM★STAR
06. fly away
07. CATHARSIS
08. BROKEN IN THE
09. Cry
10. FRENDS
シリアル⇔NUMBER (Serial Number) has posted more information on their new releases for the new year. On February 20th they’ll be putting out two releases both for 1500 yen. The first is called 「卒業〜アディオス！エル・アミーゴ〜」 (Sotsugyou ～ Adios! El Amigo～) which has three tracks and the second is a DVD (their first!) which is called and contains the songs 「リップ集〜GO！YA！NUMBER/アテンション・プリーズ/TOKYO NOISE〜」 (RIPPU shuu～GO! YA! NUMBER / Attention Please / TOKYO NOISE～).
SEX-virgin killer (gotta love that name) is planning a new five song CD that’ll be released on March 7th for 1575 yen entitled “SEX or DIE”.
News about Sugar‘s full album was already posted here, but they’re also coming out with a 24 page, full colour book with information on their instruments, interviews, photos, etc. It’s apparently something that any Sugar fan MUST HAVE. Haha The cost is 1575 yen and it’s coming out on the same day as the album; March 5th.
東京ミカエル (Tokyo Michael)‘s new release will come out on March 5th (lots for March 5th eh?) and it will be a mini album with two types called 「ムカユイウタ」 (Mukayui Uta). The first press edition that comes with a DVD is 2730 yen and the regular press is 2310 yen. The album will contain five tracks.

A new V.A (various artist) release is coming out on March 1st! It’s an omnibus CD which includes the bands -OZ-, SOMATIC GUARDIAN, ワタシメスラッグ (Watashime Slug) and MoNoLith called 「四面楚歌」 (Shimensoka). The cost is 2100 yen and it’s limited to 1000 copies, so you’d better order your copy soon!
