Random Fact of the Day

Posted on October 17, 2009 in Random Fact

random-fact-of-the-day

Hirotaka of R-shitei wrote in his blog about Kaede using Fabreeze on his body, which sparked this question and answer in Kaede’s blog:

Q. Is it really true that you use Fabreeze on your body? (Laughs)
A. No, it’s not. (Laughs) I was sweating a lot and didn’t have any cologne, so I tried using Fabreeze because it was nearby. (Laughs)

Hmm. I kind of want to try that out too… what scent do you think would suit me best?

R-Shitei joins SPEED DISK

Posted on August 9, 2009 in Label Change, New release, Oneman

r-shitei-joins-speed-disk

I didn’t see this one coming ! It’s true that I’ve always been wondering why no label was trying to recruit R指定, but I didn’t think they would join SPEED DISK !

Well anyway, the band has annonced on their HP that they would be joining SPEED DISK after their one man live on September 25th. In the meantime, they will also be moving from Fukuoka to Tokyo.

All the members have written a comment on that sudden announcement, saying it was nothing but good news.

Last but not least, the third release of their 3-months consecutive releases will be their first one as a SPEED DISK band. 「國立少年少年」 (Kokuritsu Shounen) is still scheduled on September 25th and will contain the three following tracks for 1575 yen :
1.カナリア (Kanaria)
2.國立少年-ナショナルキッド- (Kokuritsu Shounen -National Kid-)
3.嗚呼、性春 (Aa, Seishun) [usually wrote 青春 but here 性春 because of the sexual hint)

Today’s random fact is brought to you by Mamo from R-shitei.

In his journal he recently posted an interesting confession.

What was it?
He loves Fukuoka, his hometown.

Not only does he love Fukuoka, but he wants to marry it.

I would marry cheese puffs. Then I would eat it. And get remarried. It would be awesome.

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

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!)

more-details-on-r-shitei-s-mini-album

We’ve been talking a lot about R指定 lately, as their three months consecutive releases is coming soon. Even yesterday, Adrienne gave you some more details on their mini-album that comes out on July 25th. I just wanted to add the tracklist of that new mini-album :

1.メンタル≠ヘルプ (Mental≠Help)
2.盲目少女 (Moumoku Shoujo)
3.黒猫-夕焼けmix- (Kuroneko -Yuuyake mix-)
4.夢で逢いませう… (Yume de Aimaseu…)
5.素晴ラシキ此ノ人生-朝焼けmix- (Subarashiki Kono Jinsei -Asayake mix-)

As we told you earlier, this mini-album contains tracks from works that are already sold out, that were limited to livehouse sales only. But actually, the first song (Mental≠Help) is an exeption, the only new song out the 5 ! All the other songs will be remasterized.

Other than that, the title of the the maxi-single they will will release on September 25th has been decided, it will be called 「國立少年」 (Kokuritsu Shounen ; but this could be read Kunitachi Shounen as well, not sure).

Mamo comes back !

Posted on June 8, 2009 in hospitalization

mamo-comes-back

As we told you about 3 weeks ago, R指定 vocalist Mamo has to take a break because he was suffering from pneumothorax, but hopefully, it seems it was not that serious, as Mamo will come back from his break today, on June 8th !

Now, we have to wait for LiCKER’s vocalist Cra to retur as well, as she had some problem with her eyes, but the message is no longer online on Crow Music’s HP, so she may be back already…

Mamo takes a break

Posted on May 28, 2009 in hospitalization

mamo-takes-a-break

R指定(R-shitei)’s vocalist Mamo is going to take a break from live activities. This is what the band has written on their OHP in what they call an “important announcement”. It seems like Mamo’s got some problem with his lung, more precisely, he suffers from a pneumothorax. If you feel concerned with this, go check on Wikipedia. It doesn’t look too bad, but he’ll have to rest for a while.

In the mean time, the band will continue their activities with 4 members, probably using a playback for the singing part. But Mamo ask the fans not to worry too much, as he will come back soon ! Let’s hope he’s gonna be fine soon !

New look for R-Shitei !

Posted on May 1, 2009 in Costumes, New release

new-look-for-r-shitei

R指定 has just updated their OHP with a brand new look that goes with their new one-coin single, 『夢で逢いませう…』 (Yume de Aimaseu) released today (during today’s live only if you remember well). They’ve really changed quite a lot since their last mini-album, and their sound has changed as well. I personnally love both their heavy and their current style, but I hope they won’t get too mellow in the future, because their latest looks tend to make me think of it, even if I like it !

SWL – Girl’s Clothing Day

Posted on January 27, 2009 in SWL

swl-girls-clothing-day

It’s been a while since our last SWL, and this was something I’ve been meaning to post! A couple weeks ago, we talked about the three themes R指定 (R-Shitei) decided to have for three of their lives: Uniform Day, Girl’s Clothing Day and Occult Day.

I wanted to post about the Girl’s Clothing Day for a while, because I found it pretty hilarious, and I thought other reader’s would as well.

Before the actual day, Mamo seemed pretty anxious! A fan wrote to him suggesting that he dress as a maid, but he said that was definitely a no. He hopes that everyone can forget him wearing this outfit. Since Mamo constantly talks about sailor style school uniforms, his choice was definitely expected.

Kaede said that the live was fun, and that he feels he made a pretty awesome nurse.

Ultra Z’s comment was more general, he said all three days were a lot of fun, and he thinks that the members had more fun than anyone. The only unfortunate thing is that photos of Ultra Z’s costume were never posted. Too embarrassing, I wonder? Haha.

Nanahoshi, who was a maid, added that everyone seemed to have a good time, which made him glad, and that he laughed a lot. And of course we have Hirotaka very pretty in his dress, who said that it’s his ‘perverted pattern’

Seems like it was a pretty fun night for everyone, and the members really did seem to put their all into it. So, what do you think? Who was your favourite?

Personally, if I saw Mamo dressed like that, I would not only realize who he was, I probably would think he actually was a school girl. Nanahoshi actually suits his costume. But admittedly, my favourites are Nurse Kaede, and pretty dress Takahiro. I wasn’t expecting anyone to dress up as a nurse, so I thought it was a cool idea. And the shiney blue dress, just seems to go so against Takahiro’s regular image.

Please remember we’d love to get your SWL’s! So if there’s a blog entry, song lyrics, quote, photo, translation, etc., from a visual band member that you liked (for whatever reason) send it our way to post on the site! We’d love to hear your comment about it too!

Please note that you can send things in Japanese, but we can not guarantee they will be posted as all posts on the site are in English, and we don’t always have the time to translate entries, articles, songs, and so forth.

Uniform, Girl’s Clothing and Occult Days

Posted on January 12, 2009 in Cool, Lives

uniform-girls-clothing-and-occult-days

R指定 (R-Shitei) is doing some interesting things at their lives as of late. They’re having themed lives, where they’ll be dressing in different themes with each performance, and of course all those attending are asked to join in as well! They did it for their live on the 12th, and will continue on the 19th and 20th.

This is what Mamo wrote in his blog about each day:

January 12 – Uniform Day
All the member will perform in their old school uniforms!!
If everyone can attend in their uniform, it’ll surely be a campus heaven★
Don’t mistake that overwhleming feeling of youth!!

January 19th – Girl’s Clothing Day
All the members will be performing in female clothing!!
Look forward to everyone dressed fully in female clothing, with fashions like Onee, Gal, Dresses and Sailor style school uniforms!☆ Don’t mistake that overwhelming feeling of falling madly in love!!!

January 20th – Occult Day
A day recoommended for those who love R-Shitei; rather than the humilation from the costumes of the day before, the members will be showing their true fashion.
Will you be wearing overly occult ★ too much rock along with the members?
Don’t mistake that explosive feeling of hyperness!

Also, both Mamo and Kaede have posted photos from the uniform day:

I hope Nanahoshi, Ultra Z and Hirotaka all post photos as well, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with the next two. Mamo mentioend that he was a bit scared to wear female clothing, but he’s still looking forward to it.
