Rosario disbands
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 11:05 pm (3 Comments)
Along with Zip.er, Rosario had an important announcement at their live today, however, according to live reports on 2ch, this one isn’t good news.
The band announced that December 1st at Meguro Rock May Kan will be their last oneman, and final live.
According to reports both ken and yuno were crying, and the announcement has seemed to shock fans as no one saw this one coming. A reason for their break-up has not yet been published, but when we have more information we’ll be updating.

Random fact of the day
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 10:27 pm (No Comments)
Everyone has a system when writing music, Közi’s system is a bit…different. From his interview from Master+Mind that included Ao (ex.cali≠gari/LAB.THE BASEMENT) and Kazi (REDЯUM) - Közi explained that he didn’t truly understand things like music theory, that he can’t read or write music. That when it comes to explaining to members he uses sound effects instead.
“This part’s like baaan!, and then it goes to gaaan! then to gooon! an Gushaan~! and and then here, it’s like baiiin!!”
This is great, I can’t read music either but I want to be a composer!

Session band 666-SIX-
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 6:16 pm (No Comments)
Last month a new session band called 666-SIX- was formed, and while there’s not much information about them I found the line-up interesting so I figured I’d post about them here!
Vo 椿 (Tsubaki)
Gu さゆ亀。 (Sayuki.) ex. xJihadx, Sadomaso, DEATH PROJECT
Gu 美空 (Misora) ex. ActLess TheAteR, 9miri., Sadomaso, Lilith
Ba 迅 (Jin) Black:List support, ex. THE.LAST support, PROJECT Eden support, DEATH PROJECT
666-SIX- had their first live on July 18th at Ikebukuro Cyber, and their next live is on August 21st at Meguro Rockmaykan. Their official site also has an English version of it, and while it’s obvious that it was translated with a translation machine, it’s understandable! They don’t have pictures or profiles or anything up, but I like the line-up so I’ll keep an eye on them and keep you guys updated in case they update their site with more contents.

dis C
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 5:20 pm (No Comments)
There was a session band called 真不純CHILDREN (Shinfujun CHILDREN) which began in February of 2007, went on break from August until July 24th of 2008, and then disbanded on July 27th.
However, the band disbanded so that the same member could go on to create a real, full fledged band! That band is called dis C (discord crowd) and they officially began on August 9th, 2008 with their first live at Takadanobaba AREA.
The members of the band are:
Vocals - K [ex-CIRCUS, ex-XII)
Guitar - 蒼介 (Sousuke) [ex-CIRCUS]
Guitar - 礼 (Rei) [ex-Givuss, ex-lost age)
Bass - 翼 (Tsubasa) [ex-Diod'honneur, ex-epilatoire]
They’ve just recently opened up their OHP so there’s not too much there yet, but it looks like they’ve got it together so far!

New member and looks coming up!
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 4:58 pm (9 Comments)
Zip.er had an important announcement today (well, yesteday in Japan) at their which of course made me think the worst was coming. However, after much refreshing of blogs, Kento has updated his saying that they ther support drummer, 伽児 (Kaji), who has been supporting for them since March and who was formerly a member of beaU has become an official member of the band!
Looks like they’ve been planning this one for a little while! Kaji’s information is not yet updated on the OHP, but you can check out his personal site which is located here: http://x76.peps.jp/kajitan39plan/
Kento also adds that now that Zip.er is five members, they’ll be taking off so make sure you keep your eye on them!
Towa wrote about it as well, saying that the band also has new costumes! They’ll hopefully be renewing their OHP in the near future with Kaji’s information and their hot new look!

Yukine leaves xTRiPx
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 2:49 pm (2 Comments)
Thanks to Lawren for sending us a contact form letting us know that xTRiPx has posted on their OHP that on September 21st at their event bassist Yukine will be leaving the band.
They have said that the decision a result of a discussion with the band and the reason for his departure is a difference in opinion in their musical direction, and as they are seeing the band from different places, uncomfortable feelings between the members have arisen.
For Yukine’s remaining lives, they plan to continue on as they have been and say that his withdrawl was a mutual decision. They hope that everyone can continue to believe in them from hereon in.
Yukine has also posted a comment regarding his decision, which gives the same reasons as given by the rest of the members. However, he asks everyone to keep supporting xTRiPx just as they always have.\
