GaGaalinG disbands

gagaaling-disbands

GaGaalinG sent out a new edition of their mail magazine the other day with an important announcement to all their fans — they will be disbanding on July 17th.

The following is a translation of what was written in the magazine:

To those of you who always support us,
On July 27th after our oneman live at Takadanobaba CLUB PHASE, GaGaalinG will be putting an end to their activities.

From last year until now, the members, producer and staff had numerous discussions about GaGaalinG’s activities, our music and also the member’s individual thoughts. As a result, we realized that the members each had different opinions on where GaGaalinG should go after this, and we therefore decided to end our activities.

After July 17th, the members will also carry on down their own paths, but we hope that you will continue to warmly watch over us.

Being part of GaGaalinG, being able to meet everyone, and sharing this amazing time with you is something that we will always treasure.

Our lives from March 20th ~ July 17th will be the same as always.

One by one, we’ll take on the challenge to make each live the best it can be.

To everyone who’s cheer us on,
with feelings of gratitude, together,
we hope we can until the end, create soun
that feels just like GaGaalinG,
so please, come and meet us.

GaGaalinG

HearJapan – Check it out

hearjapan-check-it-out

Nathan from HearJapan sent this over to us! Check it out!

For November 5th, HearJapan has two very special visual-kei releases for the fans. The first being the new GaGaalinG mini-album entitled Alice (http://www.hearjapan.com/store/album_info/ALICE). Alice is packed with 4 new songs and completes another addition to HearJapan’s visual-kei catalog thanks to all the user support we have been getting. It is also a shift to a major label, UP-FRONT WORKS, and HearJapan is the first store that UP-FRONT will sell in the mp3 format in its history. While HearJapan will soon be featuring more and more big name artists in the near future through legal downloads, HearJapan will still shine the spotlight on a lot of the great up and coming artists rising up out of Japan.

On November 5th, our other Visual-kei release will focus the light on one such band. Although almost everything about the band is a dark secret, HearJapan is letting a little light shine through by offering their debut single on HearJapan for free. That’s right. All you have to do is register to HearJapan and download Kuroi Taiyou (http://www.hearjapan.com/store/album_info/Kuroi_Taiyou) by XodiacK (http://www.hearjapan.com/store/group/XodiacK) . This free single will only be offered in a limited time so make sure you pick it up while it is still available. The single will be taken down once the band reveals themselves to the world. Also, by downloading the single you will get to see an as of yet unseen picture of the band that will blow you away.

HearJapan also has another visual-kei related announcement. HearJapan has officially changed its policy in regards to upcoming visual-kei releases. Before we would only add an album to our list once we had the songs and album artwork to upload. This let everyone sample the music before it came out to help their purchasing decision. However many users requested a form to preorder the album months in advance. We are now offering the ability to do this. We are starting with the upcoming D’espairsRay single “HORIZON” (http://www.hearjapan.com/store/album_info/Horizon). You can preorder it now one month in advance for 10% off the normal price.

We know that especially for XodiacK, a lot of people were commenting on how they were looking forward to them and here’s your chance!

h.NAOTO Music Tour 2009

h-naoto-music-tour-2009

Big Ern doesn’t even know who to credit for this bulletin on myspace. Everyone and their mother apparently posted about it. I guess I could make this ridiculously long list of everyone that posted it…but you get the point. Everyone also mentions tour dates and venue info coming soon. Anyways…here it is:

The past few years we have seen a sudden boom of the Japanese Culture in America. For example; anime, music, fashion and technology. When someone initially analyzes a band, they usually first notice what style of clothing they are wearing. From there on they can tell whether or not the band is a certain kind of genre. In the music business, fashion is one of the factors that decides whether a band is going to be successful or not. What we want to showcase is not just the fact that clothes make the band, but the band embodies and defines the fashion that also helps define them.

Some featured bands:
THE UNDERNEATH
Marbell
GaGaalinG
メガマソ(megamasso)
heidi.
