New Nagoya-focused omnibus

new-nagoya-focused-omnibus

Like an Edison, ShimizuyaRecords, and Double River Record have teamed up to bring a new volume of the Rebels series of omnibuses. The series focuses on attention-worthy bands in the Nagoya region, and the last volume was released five years ago!

The new omnibus is called Rebels -2011-, and will be sold exclusively at Like an Edison for 2,011 yen. As a special privilege, those who buy the omnibus will receive a 2011 calendar card featuring all of the bands. Here’s the [tentative] tracklist:

01. Amber Bullet / 獄中のオーケストラ (Bokuchuu no Orchestra)

02. EAT YOU ALIVE / Missing you

03. DecoLa Hopping / SWEETS PARADISE! (new ver)

04. BAELSCOPE / liar

05. Re:dis / Rock your spirit.

06. ワン☆スター (One☆Star) / MIRACLE MUSIC SHOWTIME

Sounds like a pretty cool omnibus huh? The downside is that you’ll need some sort of shopping service to buy it, since Like an Edison doesn’t ship overseas. Will you be trying to buy this omnibus anyway?

a-new-explanation-from-eat-you-alive

EAT YOU ALIVE, who just released a new single today, on May 19th, will be putting out another new single on August 18th!

The single will be called 「REVIVE」 and it will contain three tracks for 1500 yen:
・ RD in hope
・ 光 (Hikari)
・ 回転木馬 (Kaitenmokuba)

The single isn’t exactly new music, but it’s a “new explanation” on some of the tracks that they made before their name change, when they were known as MaveRick.

The song 「回転木馬」 (Kaitenmokuba) was originally released on MaveRick’s 「SILENT DEATH」 single which was out on July 18th, 2007. Both 「光」 (Hikari) and 「RD in hope」 came out on their album, 「a counter feit heart and my true intentions MOSQUITO」 that came out on November 1st, 2006.

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

Today’s random fact is about something that’s very important to our favorite musicians.

Their instruments!! And what’s this here?

eatryohei-2009-02-17t01-57-41-1

It’s a guitar. Ryohei, from EAT YOU ALIVE’s guitar to be exact. He posted about it recently in his blog, saying that it’s a used guitar that he bought for cheap, so that if it breaks during a live, he doesn’t have to worry about it.

That’s a pretty smart idea… but it makes you wonder if he often breaks guitars…

Update on Hiro

update-on-hiro

Remember when Adrienne posted about Hiro being hospitalized? We have an update of sorts on that. It appears that Ryohei has taken to updating EAT YOU ALIVE’s myspace blog. In his first post he mentions that Hiro is fine, he is back and not to worry. He also mentions that he hopes to have a show outside of Japan. All of this is good to hear for fans.

Hiro hospitalized

hiro-hospitalized

EAT YOU ALIVE sent out a mail magazine, saying that their vocalist Hiro has fallen ill and therefore was hurriedly hospitalized. Therefore, the band will be performing their next live (on the 4th) with the remaining three members.

They apologize to the fans who were looking forward to the live, but ask for their understanding in these circumstances.

Tomorrow, on behalf of Hiro, they will perform to the best of their abilities, and hope that fans can support them.

Source: Official Mailmag

Hopefully Hiro will recover soon, and be back on stage! I’m sure everyone can join me in wishing him a safe and speedy recovery.
