modern-suite-disbands

After three years of activity, モダン組曲 (Modern Suite) disbanded on July 1st.

The members explain that although they had various feelings about it, and felt that they wanted to continue, they could not reach a conclusion to how they wanted to proceed with the band. Therefore, they felt the best option was to break up.

They apologize for the lateness of the announcement, and hope that the fans can understand their decision. They thank all their “Babys” (fans) for their support.

Modern Suite + DELUHI

Posted on February 12, 2008 in New release

modern-suite-deluhi

Okay, so there’s two more releases for you, but I’m just going to put them together in this post.

Ready? Okay! (I feel like a cheerleader).
First up is モダン組曲 (Modern Suite) with their newest maxi-single entitled “招待状-INVITATION-” (Shoutaijou) coming out on April 2nd. It’s a three track single costing 1575 yen and the tracklist is:
01. 招待状-IMVITATION- (Shoutaijou)
02. 36.5℃
03. 恥じらいチェリー (Hajirai Cherry)

DELUHI is releasing their first mini-album called “Surveillance” on March 26th. It’s a five track album that costs 1890 yen and the tracklist is:
01. 〜Surveillance〜
02. Two Hurt
03. Vivid Place
04. 黄泉の譲り業 (Kousen no Yuzurigyou)
05. Recall

Now, when I saw their name I had no idea who this band was. So I did a little research. This band was originally the band GRAVE SEED, however, GRAVE SEED has decided to undergo some member changes and be reborn fresh as DELUHI. Currently their OHP is under construction and the only members they have listed are Yuuto on guitar (ex-Galneryus) and Takuya on vocals.
