new-live-sold-single-and-sponsored-events-for-wedday

Some cool news for ウェンズデー (Wedday) fans! It seems that not only their new live-limited maxi-single has been on sale since September 13th, but also they’re planning few sponsored events in upcoming months.

The maxi-single is entitled 「Kisekinomizu」and actually it has been available during lives for few weeks already. Originally you could get it in two types: “いちご味” (Ichigomi; Strawberry taste) for 1000 yen featuring only 2 tracks and “水色” (Mizuiro; Light blue) – which costed 1500 yen and contained 4 tracks. However, since the first type has only little copies left and the latter is completely sold out, the band has decided to issue a completely new type which is a compilation of the previous two. It’s been available since September 13th and is now called “ぶどう味” (Budoumi; Grape taste). There are 4 tracks included:

01. 奇跡の水 (Kiseki no Mizu)
02. 10年後もバラバラのバーバラ (10 Nengo mo Barabara no Baabara)
03. 夏メロ2010~フ・タ・リ・ハ・カ・タ・オ・モ・イ~ (Natsu Mero 2010~Fu・ta・ri・ha・ka・ta・o・mo・i~)
04. ××××

To promote the single, the band is going to hold several sponsored events, during which the maxi-single will be sold of course. The events will be called 「AFTER SCHOOL HELLOWEEN」:

October 15th @ Sendai HooK
October 31st @ Morioka club change
November 1st @ Akita Club SWINDLE
November 7th @ Yamagata Session
November 9th @ Kooriyama CLUB#9

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

Everyone loves a good henchman, am I right? Tsubasa (ex-Wedday/Moeru Konayuki) is no different! His henchman is his former bandmate Aryu (ex-Moeru Konayuki). He even makes Aryu follow him around!

o0240040010196281989 o0240040010164462883

Quite a pair. And how cool is that? I’m currently taking applications for my top henchmen. Any takers?

Wedday’s new single

all who played with us,
Akasic records staff and roadies,

all who came to see Wedday only once, all who have heard us,
and to all who are reading this now.

Truly, thanks to you all, I’m able to stand on the stage even now.

Thank you.

You have my sincere thanks.

Wedday down to one

wedday-down-to-one

Some bad and good news for Wedday fans. On the live of February 5th at Holiday Shinjuku, Reito, Hime, and Noa will be withdrawing from the band. Reito’s reason for leaving is musical differences while Hime and Noa both stated it being difficult to study and keep up with a band for now. They all apologize for the announcement, but thank everyone and will do their best to make the live on the 5th the best.

As for vocalist Wednesday (aka Mako), while he is saddened and upset by the announcement, he stated that Wedday will not be stopped.

New Member for Wedday

new-member-for-wedday

As I mentioned before in this post, ウェンズデー(Wedday) announced that they would be gaining a member on September 1st. Well it looks like they couldn’t wait to introduce him. The new member, on guitar & vocal, is レイト(Reito)! Reito has been support for Wedday for a while now so it’s great to see him becoming an official member. While they have already announced him as a member, his official joining date will still be September 1st.

Also, they announced that they will be giving out a DVD to those who reserve with them for their lives on September 1st and the 2nd, ウェンズデーヒストリーDVD誕生~2008 (Wedday History DVD birth~2008), containing footage of Wedday’s creation up to August’s Toohoku teikoku II (actually, two versions, one for the live in Sendai and one for Niigata, but I assume they’ll contain the same content, different packaging like they usually do).

And last but not least, they’ve already announced they will hold 2 events for Reito’s birthday on October 17th and 19th. More details on these two events will be available soon!

Wedday soon to be down a member

wedday-soon-to-be-down-a-member

Some sad news for ウェンズデー (Wedday) fans, but it was announced on Wedday’s OHP that guitarist ミント (Mint) will withdraw from the band following their live on August 27th. His reason for leaving is a difference in opinions on the musical direction of the band and in his parting words he asks the fans to continue their support of Wedday.

Vocalist ウェンズデー (Wednesday/aka Mako) and drummer ヒメ (Hime) are both saddened by Mint’s decision, but they support him and will continue on as the new Wedday.

weddays-new-member

A while ago, we posted about the band ウェンズデー (Wedday) adding new member(s) to their ranks. Well, as most fans have noticed that their site was updated a while ago as well with a sillouette image of the new band member but not other details were released.

.

Thanks to Sephie who pointed this out to me. The new member has been officially revealed!!!

His name is ヒメ (Hime) and he’s their new drummer! Finally we can see a picture of him (the one to the left here) after vocalist Mako/ウェンズデー’s slight taunting us with only a partial photo in his blog a few days ago, haha!

Also Hime has opened a blog of course for the band as well. Here is his blog: http://yaplog.jp/saisokuhime/
