Thanks to GinnYx for emailing us!
Ah this sucks, we hate when members leave bands. This time its the singer SHO of Order in Disorder who has left the band. He wrote his good bye message in his blog last night. He knows it was a shock to announce this so suddenly and that even though he was only with the band for a short time (they started out in January) he is thankful to the fans, staff and members. Thank you for supporting him up until now.
He has been removed from the site and the other members will continue on without him. I am not sure if that means they will replace him or if one of them will take over vocals? We’ll have to wait and see.

It’s that time again! Time for the random fact of the day, and today we’re going to talk about Shiki from Order in Disorder’s strong points and weak points.
His strong points are that he’s systematic, and never gives up.
His weak points, are that he’s cruel, inhuman, and ‘late for his own funeral’ (he’s always late).
So to all the S-T readers that haven’t shared before, or want to share again, what are your strong and weak points?
Thanks one last time to Yumemiko for the heads up. Order in Disorder have changed their ohp address. You can now view their ohp at this address: http://order-in-disorder.com/

There’s a brand new band on the scene that formed in September, but will have their first live in just a couple of days, on January 13th at Kyoto ARCDEUX.
The band’s name is 「Order in Disorder」, and their concept revolves around the light and dark that’s internalized in the mentality of humands. With their melodies that shake your soul, and heavy sounds, they’re fabricating a fresh world.
The line-up of the band is as follows.
Vocals - 渉 -SHO-
Guitar - 仄 -SHIKI-
Bass / Synth – 慧太 -KEITA-
Drums - 希良梨 -KIRARI-
The members have each created a blog on Ameba, so you can keep up with them if you’re interested.
