New member for VELGREED
14
Mar, 2010
As we told you last month, 珪 (Kei) has withdrawn from VELGREED after their live on March 1st due to family circumstances. Since then, they’ve been performing with a support bassist. Great news, it has recently been announced that this support member has formally joined the band!
And I guess it will make a lot of people happy to see him back on stage! His name is 遥 (Haruka) and before becoming a member of VELGREED, he was guitarist for… Villain ! Pretty cool right?
The band is now working on their new look and we don’t have any pictures of the new member to show you as of yet, but we’ll keep you updated ! Anyway, it’s great to see that VELGREED hasn’t decided to disband after two consecutive departures!

GRiST takes Villain’s place
10
Jun, 2009
For almost a week now, there’s been a rumor about Villain disbanding… and I’m sorry I have to say that it turned out to be true. This has been confirmed for a few days already, and Villain will hold its last one man on June 26 at Kyoto ARC DEUX.
After the disbandments of IRODORI, and now Villain, some people may have thought CROW MUSIC was going through a rough spot, but Tatsuya has already found a band to replace Villain ! GRiST has announced through their OHP that they were joining CROW MUSIC from now on.
I didn’t see that one coming, I love both Villain and GRiST but if CROW MUSIC needed a replacement, I thought they would try to pick a band similar to Villain, which is far from being the case with GRiST ! Anyway, great news for both the label and GRiST !

Villain to disband…(?)
3
Jun, 2009
Sad news again… with one of the most popular indie bands of the past year, Villain, which is going to disband. The news has been spread for a few days already thanks to Phantasmagoria (who apparently saw them live), I’ve just waited for a few days for the situation to become clear, but it seems that the band will really disband after their oneman live on June 26th, as CROW MUSIC is not adding any more lives for the band, but everyone should wait for an official announcement to confirm all this.
Other than that, there’s been quite an interesting debate on why the band was disbanding… now quoting Phantasmagoria :
Not sure, but it’s not surprising after what happened recently. Aoi’s girlfriend comes to shows as a fan and stands in second row and makes it obvious that they’re dating (they both wear the same necklaces and rings) and she brags all over her blog that he is hers. A bunch of Japanese fans tore her to pieces on an anonymous bulletin board, and Aoi posted a response in his blog, cutting down the band’s fans in response. Aoi apologizes, his blog is deleted, then a week later they announce their disbandment out of the blue
If this is the actual reason of their disbandment, don’t you think it’s a bit too much ??? Is it forbidden to have a girlfriend when you’re part of a VK band ? This whole thing reminds me of people whining when they learnt Miyavi was getting married…

More Villain News!

Apr, 2008
As Miku announced back on April 5th, Villain has added two members to their ranks. Along with the new members and them restarting activities, they’ll also be releasing a new single on June 25th!
The single is called “DISCHARGE” and so far the only other details, is that it will cost 1575 yen. Which, of course we can assume will be three tracks. But, don’t take my word for that because it’s not posted on the CD shops I’ve checked, or on their OHP.
Anyways, along with all this good new stuff, is their new look. I actually quite like it.
