Vallquar’s new members + Madieduor revival

vallquars-new-members-madieduor-revival

Thanks to fs_chibi for emailing us with this tip! A bit of good news for Vallquar – the band has become a full 5 piece band again with the addition of a bassist and drummer. Their new bassist is name Leina and their drummer is name Gill. They even updated their mobile site with a new look showcasing the new members!!

Now onto some random but cool news, seems like Madieduor will host a 2 day revival at Osaka FAN J twice. It was almost two years ago when we posted about their disbandment! The revivals will take place on February 7th and 8th.

The revival or session line up includes:

Vocals: Hikari (Vallquar)
Guitar: Ryth (Vallquar)
Guitar: Not known
Bass: Not known
Drummer: Chise (ex-Vallquar)

Kaito doesn’t seem to be apart of the revival even though he is ex Vallquar and ex Madieduor, we posted about his departure over here.

Vallquar down to…?

vallquar-down-to


After losing their drummer Chise (who joined the band in January) on September 15th, Vallquar’s bassist Kaito made his last performance with the band on October 22nd. He posted this on his blog 4 days later:

1022 LAST ONEMAN
On October 22nd’s oneman live, I’ve left Vallquar!

The reason can be put simply in 2 ways!

First of all, I’m tired of chasing after dreams!

And the other one is that the deterioration of my self-motivation!

More details are being announced on the official website, so look there!

Even though I’ve left, I’ve chosen to do a few support things, so please support me!

I’ll tell you more about it later on my blog!

Strange, right? Unfortunately, I’ve looked on the official site and the most recent news just so happens to be from Chise on September 15th.

For the curious, here is Chise’s comment in regards to his own departure:

An important announcement to everyone
On September 15th, drummer Chise has decided to temporarily withdraw from Vallquar’s activities due to various matters. After numerous meetings up until now, it has been concluded that it would be difficult for him to continue activities with us. Although matters concerning Chise’s activities with us from now on are still undecided, we would like to thank you for supporting him.

Comment from the actual person.
Although it’s suddenly come to this withdrawal, I am really sorry.
The reason why I’m leaving is because wherever I go, I feel that I am still very inexperienced.
I don’t think that it has anything to do with the band right now.
I was really able to experience a lot of things while I was in this band. I’m not exaggerating when I say that my life was at its most complete [because of them].
Even though it was for but a short time, thank you so much for everything until now.
