For anyone who hasn’t checked it out yet, Kagrra, have opened up a special page on their OHP in celebration of their 10th year anniversary and they have a lot of things planned in the upcoming months!
Probably the most exciting news for fans, is that the band has two new singles planned! The first will be out on June 16th, and the second in the middle of August. Details are not yet available, but you can be sure we’ll update you when they are!
The band has two special lives and a new tour planned. The first live happened on March 3rd at Shibuya O-WEST.
The next, part two, which is called 「鬼咆」 (Kihou) takes place on June 3rd at Shibuya O-EAST. Tickets are 5250 yen a piece, and regular ticket sales begin on April 24th. Anyone who is part of the fanclub and purchases a ticket through the fanclub will receive a live DVD with footage from the show March 3rd.
The last is a live tour called 「行脚 百鬼夜行～陰～」 (Angya Hyakkiyagyou ~ Kage ~), which kicks off in August. Dates, venues and performance titles are as follows. The performance titles are actually really interesting, the band took a myth or story from the area that they’re performing, and titled the show after that.

Going back to the collaborations and accessories, vocalist Isshi, has teamed up once again with Kasuh Koubou to make an original, silver ring.
The ring costs 8500 yen and comes packaged in a specially marked box. Also included is a comment card personally written by Isshi, an original silver cross, and silver number. There is the option for anyone who purchases the ring to have their initials carved into it.
