New band – forbidden days rhapsody

new-band-forbidden-days-rhapsody

A lot of people are going to hit the roof with this one !

I’ll make it short : ex-RENTRER EN SOI ‘s drummer (Mika) is in a new band ! It’s called forbidden days rhapsody and they officially formed yesterday but there’s no details about the members as of yet… Mika’s official website seems to be used as their official website and you can listen to an instrumental sample, you can also watch a short video with another sample.
Both sound really nice to me, makes me wonder if they’ll have a violinist as an official member, but I guess it’s just for the instrumental…

As for live activities, it seems that the band in now doing some secret lives.

new-session-for-takumi

We’ve already talked about Satsuki going on with solo lives but I don’t think we’ve talked about Takumi’s session here.

On June 6 at Holiday Takumi will be performing with a pretty well known line up at Holiday. The event is called ~SATANIC RIOT~ and it seems other groups will be performing as well. He updated his myspace blog this morning with a cute message in english. Just noticed that not only is Takumi is playing with ex.Viored but so is Satsuki, pretty cool.

His message from myspace:

Details on ReS’s final DVD

details-on-ress-final-dvd

If you remember we talked about RETRER EN SOI’s final DVD release back here. At that time some of the details had not been released, but here we go.

So, the DVD is called 「 MILLENARIANISM ~THE WAR OF MEGIDDO~」 and is coming out on March 4th. The price is set at 6090 yen and as stated before, it will be two discs.

In case you don’t want to go back and check, the first disc will contain footage from their final performance, and the second will have documentary footage, never before published footage from previous lives, and a PV collection.

They had mentioned before about wondering if your name will appear on the credits, and it turns out everyone who participates in the last concert will have the opporunity to write their name on a form passed out at the livehouse. Those names will then appear on the end roll of the DVD.

RES – comment about disbanding

res-comment-about-disbanding

I’m sure a lot of you have already seen this, but here it is for those who haven’t: full translation for the announcement and member comment on RENTRER EN SOI’s site about their disbanding.

All the credit for the translation goes to kagen @ livejournal, who very kindly translated this for the RES livejournal community.

An important message from Rentrer en Soi

Thank you for your continuing support for Rentrer en Soi. We have an important message for everyone even though this may appear to be very sudden.

Rentrer en Soi will close it’s chapter after holding a one man live at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO on 2008.12.25.

Regarding the reasons for disbandment, please refer to the members’ comments.

The remaining period of activity for the band is short, but we hope to receive the same support from fans and staff.

– Free Will

Members’ Comment

We have a message for the fans.

Rentrer en Soi will disband on the 25th of December.

The 「MILLENARIANISM」 tour which will begin on the 19th of November will be the last tour, and the tour final on the 25th of December at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO will put and end to the band’s activities.

Rentrer en Soi has conducted its band activities under the theme of “returning to oneself” for seven years, and both the work that has been released and the to-be-released mini-album on the 22nd of October “MEGIDDO” has constitued a complete (concentrated?) representation of this band theme.

As such, Rentrer en Soi has started to consider the reason of existence for the “Rentrer en Soi” of the future, and after much discussion with the staff, have reached the conclusion of disbandment.

We understand that this may be very sudden for everyone who has supported us thus far, and we also realise that it may be a self-centered decision. However, we ask of everyone to try to understand our decision.

We thank all fans and other related personnel for their support thus far.

There is only a little time left, but we would still like to etch the existence of Rentrer en Soi deeply into our compositions and lives. Please watch over us until the last moment.

Again, big thanks to kagen for this translation!

RENTRER EN SOI disbands

rentrer-en-soi-disbands

RENTRER EN SOI posted an announcement on their site that after their live on December 25th, they will end their activities. There is also a comment from the members regarding the reason behind their decision.

The comment basically says they think they’ve done their everything as the band RENTRER EN SOI, and therefore after thinking it over with the members and the staff, the band decided to disband.

RENTRER EN SOI and their staff ask everyone to continue to support them without changing even though there’s only a limited period of time left before the end.
