Dacco’s 6th Single!

daccos-6th-single

Dacco will be releasing their sixth single entitled 「あといとうとえと♪おともだち♪」 (A to I to U to E to ♪ O-tomodachi ♪)! It’s a song that’s intended for families, and based on a counting song about the Zodiac animals. 

The catch to this one is that they’re only selling it through mail order on their OHP and through Amazon.co.jp. Those who purchase the release through their OHP will also receive photographs shot from the PV shooting (limited to the first 300 copies). 

The CD will be for pre-ordering on their OHP starting on September 16th and through Amazon on the 22nd.

Gargoyle, in case anyone doesn’t know, is a band that’s been around for … well, a long time. They formed in July of 1987 in Osaka, and released their first full album in October of 1989. While they were more active some years than others, they’ve kept up new releases and lives throughout the past … twenty-one years.

… really? That long?

Anyways, the tribute album looks like it has a lot of interesting bands on it!
Also, if you want to hear samples of Gargoyle’s music, check out their OHP.

Next up, is Miyavi!
And, this news actually surprised me a little. Don’t know why, I should have seen it coming for a while now… but hey. Any and all Miyavi fans will be glad to know that in 2008 that boy is going on a world tour.

That’s right. It’s called “THIS IZ THE JAPANESE KABUKI ROCK TOUR 2008″ (Love it).

He plans to cover the USA, Germany, England, France, Finland, Korea, Taiwan and China.

I’m sure more details will be posted somewhere on the internet at a later time. (They might be now, but I still have to pack so I can’t go searching. If you find anything, feel free to comment here).

Not many details on the next one, but TINC (ex-Shelly Trip Realize… which was a WAY cooler name) will be having their first oneman live of the new year on April 20th at Takadanobaba AREA. The particulars will be released at a later date.

Last but not least is Alice Nine with the announcement of their “premium live” (what the hell does that mean?) called “STROBO LIGHTS~aliceneine.Premium live show~” that will take place on February 14th at Shibuya’s C.C Lemon Hall.

So those of you and ONLY those of you who are club ALICE members are able to get the SS and S section seating (it goes SS, S, A, B… from closest to the stage to farthest from the stage) and are able to take photographs of the live with cameras they will be giving you as a present.

However, if you want those premium seats you’ll be paying dearly for them. SS seats are 10,500 yen, S seats are 8400 yen, A level are 4200 yen (at least that’s more normal) and B seats are 3675 yen (bring some binoculars… I’m just kidding).

Tickets will go on sale starting January 26th and I can imagine they’ll sell out pretty damn fast. So if you want one, you better jump on it.
