boogiemans-dr-yuuichirou-taking-a-break-from-band-activities

Due to a poor physical health, after Boogieman’s 16. October live, drummer Yuuichirou paused band activities, and the band have had a support drummer performing with them since them. Yuuichirou apologized for the inconvenience, and we hope that he’ll get better asap!

On a side note, it seems that their support drummer is ex-member of Plastic Tree- Sasabuchi Hiroshi!

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

All of our lovely readers, I have returned!

And with my return I’m bringng back the random fact of the day. That’s right. You’ll get to hear from me every single day, just like you used to Let’s get started!

Today’s random fact of the day is about 柊 (Shuu) from boogieman. It seems like the vocalist of the band isn’t too fond of traveling by sea.

The band recently took a ferry to Hokkaido, and Shuu updated his Twitter with the following Tweets:

  • Well, the ferry is in seventeen hours. Blagh*.
  • Will the ferry be heaven? Or will it be hell? It depends on how long it takes for this medicine to kick in.
  • We’ve arrived. I’ve spotted BugLug!
  • [In reply to someone telling him to do his best on the ferry trip] – It was tough when halfway through, the medicine wore off, but I guess somehow or another you get used to it. Bansaku was more like the walking dead than I was! Haha.

* That’s the sound of throwing up.

Well, at least they made it safe and sound!

boogieman loses Junno

boogieman-loses-junno

boogieman have announced that their vocalist Junno has left the band and that due to his departure, they have cancelled their currently scheduled lives.

The following notice was posted on the band’s OHP:

At this time, our vocalist Junno has decided to leave boogieman due to being in considerably poor health.

Junno made the decision himself based on the diagnosis from the doctors, who told him that they felt continuining on in the band would be too difficult for him.

In addition, Junno, along with the boogieman members and staff talked about the future of the band, and decided that with these circumstances it would be impossible to carry out our scheduled performances, and we therefore have decided to cancel them all.

We will be updating about boogieman’s future in due time.

We deeply apologize for the trouble that this has caused.

Party with boogieman-kun

party-with-boogieman-kun

Back in June, we talked about the contest that boogieman did using boogieman-kun to celebrate the release of their single, 「我執」 (Gashuu).

For the contest, fans had to use an image of boogieman-kun to create a photo or illustration, you can see the winning photos on the band’s site!

They had so many entries, that instead of only awarding five people, they awarded nine! The grand prize (one person) was a signed polaraid set (five photos). Second place (three people) was a 「HIDDEN」 poster signed by each of the members. The set of prizes were the member’s choice and they gave away five signed boogieman lighters.

Want to see the winning entries? Check out boogieman’s OHP, and click on 写メコンテスト (Photo Contest).

On Halloween, they’re having a party with boogieman-kun, however the location and details have not yet been announced.

Don’t forget to check out the band’s new single, 「HIDDEN」 that is coming out on November 25th! More details can be found here.

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

Today we’re talking about childhood dreams. Everyone had dreams as a child, you know, what they wanted to be when they grew up. According to Junno of boogieman, this was his future aspiration as youngster:

A pro-wrestler and a long distance truck driver. When I wrote “long distance truck driver” for “future dream”, one of my homeroom teachers got mad at me, and said “that’s not a dream”.

To all those who poo-poo the idea, a long distance truck driver is too a dream! One of my childhood dreams was to be a mascot. Dress up in those sweet mascot costumes and dance around. Alas, I’m too short…
