another-serving-of-bento-beatbox-tv

In about 20 more days, the second edition of JRR’s Bento Beatbox TV will finally be available on Anime Network!

I have high hopes for the next episode, and not just because one of my all-time favorite bands will be one of the ones featured in it; LM.C!

Here is a short preview of episode 2, from the JRR Youtube channel:

And you can even vote for the CURE artist you think will be featured in the next Bento Beatbox TV.

Voting choices are: R shitei, Moran, OZ, Matenrou Opera, and Gakido.

(Personally, I was quick to vote for -OZ-, since they are my absolute favorite. I really hope they are featured!)

Every once in a while, LM.C posts a blog that either makes me go “aww” or “wtf”. And here is one that is so random, it’s cute to me. Plus, I’m a really big Gundam fan myself!

no particular reason….

In ODAIBA, I went to say hello to the 1/1 scale of GUNDAM ☆with maya.

It’s just really “WOW”, you know!

You should check out the life-sized “GUNBAM”, indeed.

LM.C – U.S. CD releases

Posted on May 5, 2009 in Cool, News, Overseas, Release

lm-c-u-s-cd-releases

JapanFiles announces LM.C full digital catalog plus two USA CD releases.

According to JRR:

April 27, 2009 – JapanFiles partners with Pony Canyon to present the full digital catalog of LM.C, plus two USA CD releases in May 2009.

The USA CD releases of SUPER GLITTER LOUD BOX and GIMMICAL IMPACT!! are available now for pre-order at the JapanFiles.com online CD store. Both CDs will include the original Japanese-language booklet and artwork (GIMMICAL IMPACT!! will also include a LMC sticker).

SUPER GLITTER LOUD BOX and GIMMICAL IMPACT!! will be available at Hot Topic stores nationwide and online at www.hottopic.com at the end of May (individual store dates will vary).

LMC.’s digital tracks are available on JapanFiles.com at 320 kbps (DRM-free).

LM.C was originally scheduled to perform live in May 2009 at A-Kon in Dallas, TX. Due to the recent concerns with swine flu, their appearance has since been canceled.

Yes, seems Hot Topic stores are going to be getting a couple LM.C CD US releases.
Although I personally would rather not buy Jrock/VK merchandise from Hot Topic, I may still buy another copy of the CDs, in hopes of helping Jrock sales in the US. I’m all for showing that there is a large overseas fan base for Jrock, especially for LM.C!

LM.C Cancels Their Appearance at AKON

Posted on May 1, 2009 in Overseas

lm-c-cancels-their-appearance-at-akon

LM.C has posted up an announcement on their OHP regarding their appearance at AKON now being canceled and why:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT on AKON TWENTY
April 30th, 2009

We regret to inform you that in accordance with an official announcement made by Pony Canyon Inc. today regarding the outbreak of the swine flu made on April 30th, the upcoming LM.C appearance at AKON (May 29-31 in Dallas, Texas) has been cancelled. This announcement comes in response to the World Health Organization’s decision to raise the swine flu pandemic level to phase 5. Pony Canyon Inc. and Ponycanyon Music Inc. announced that all employees and artists have been grounded and are prohibited from traveling overseas. This suspension of travel will remain until WHO officials determine it is safe.

We would like to express our deepest apologies for those of you who have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of LM.C in Texas. Although the members of LM.C were very much looking forward to performing for their fans at AKON, they must adhere to the necessary precautions as outlined by the WHO.

We would like nothing more than to have everyone’s understanding and continued support for LM.C. We plan on returning to our fans in the US for some other time once the ban has been lifted and the situation improved.

Pony Canyon/Ponycanyon Music and LM.C appreciate your sincere understanding and send our best wishes for the success of AKON TWENTY.

Well, as most of us know, snooping through the blogs of our favorite bands/artists always turn up quite the interesting results. Espcially in the case of Jrockers.

A few days ago, Maya of LM.C posted something that actually makes me think… “If he has time to post something like this, he must be having a very non-stressful day”. And that thought made me happy for some reason…I must be strange myself.

What exactly does Maya’s moco chan look like, anyway, then?

LM.C now has a new look. It’s a bit different from their previous look. I kind of like it.
It took a little while for my eyes to adjust to the bright pink and black stripes, though. Heehee. (See their MySpace page to know what I mean.)
