Its great that all of Kamikaze Boyz are in groups now…Syuri is in Girl Goomie and of course Keiji and Shingo are in Mix Speaker’s Inc.

Any other bandmates you were happy to see in new groups this year?

Ah, it’s nice to see so many ‘ex’ members back and doing something.
I have to say, I’m ESPECIALLY excited about Tetora and Shuri; I really enjoyed the Kamikaze Boyz and Tetora was always so nice. MINAMI does a lot of supprt drumming, but I’m always excited to see him back on the scene as well. Looks like it’d be a fun night.

Of course, the two band members I’d die to see return to the scene have been M.I.A for so long that it seems ridiculously unlikely. That’s how this scene goes though, isn’t it.
