Vercingetorix

Could go either way - the guest singers are all pretty solid, idyako and Maki are just plain random, but I'm a tad apprehensive because of Kurumi's reduced role. She apparently co-produced the songs with Nico on, but her replacement Yuri is only credited on four songs. Personally thought the keyboards were what made OZ so good.

Better than anything Johnny's ever produced

Better than anything Johnny's ever produced

Thats why things like ACACIA and Hard Koala are important. People seems to forget about stuff really fast these days. Everyday there is something new to worry about that the media will be bashing in our heads at left and right, but the animals are still there suffering from the fires aftermath and is important to still think about they too.

I'll throw a comment here: I'm delighted! Can't wait for whatever album of pop/rock tracks they shove out this year. 

ペンデュラム (Pendulum) will disband at 2020/1/22.
 

He's back...or will be on December 14th.

"MIRAGE OF GEMINI"
'Band format' 4~5 tracks "Cygnus Lake"
'All instrumental' 4~5 tracks  
Both on sale at his '-SHOWCASE-' in Shibuya on the 14th. Nothing yet about general/digital release.

Glad to see their come back with a full-length album!
I really love this new song!
A new HYPE for me in the end of this year! Yes!!
And the last part Tetsuya holding Kei's bass... I almost cry...

you know what i'm so pissed about this announcement that i am not going to give him the benefit of exposure. this topic will sink in stygian like his career

you can donate 10 million yen to the cause without having to toot your horn about it. he had an announcement for the announcement that he's going to be such a good person. what a fucking nut. the effect would be the same whether or not anyone knows about it and altruistic donation does not require public knowledge. this is 100% a publicity stunt and fuck you YOSHIKI for appropriating this tragedy to promote yourself.

Been waiting on this news a long time. Stay gone, you creepy old bastard.

I'm fairly confident that idol rancher Akimoto himself is clean. So many girls go through his system, you'd think someone might have spoken up by now if it was worse than shitty working conditions + the standard low-level harassment women in showbiz anywhere have to deal with.

Could be that the abused men didn't actually press charges, or that police didn't have enough evidence to prosecute (and Johnny was too connected to force a confession out of.) The 'partially overturned' thing was probably more to do with press/media freedom.

Been waiting on this news a long time. Stay gone, you creepy old bastard.

He died today at the age of 87.
He was basically the founder of the japanese male idol groups incl. SMAP, Arashi, Kat-tun and many more.
 
RIP.

SHUT UP SCARF LADY

Leda is playing on 11 of the tracks
 
 

Man be all about that bass.

Man be all about that bass.

Scroll up, Trombe.

In case you forgot, they are soldiering on with a temp singer as it is. Re:No has not been replaced and the tour has two singers, Saki from Cyntia and a new girl named Rin, alternating from show to show. So now they are going to continue on with two temps.
 
Interesting tidbit from the blogs is that Toki was a teenager when she joined Aldious and that was 10 years ago. I would have guessed her to be older but they do start young in Japan. Gacharic Spin just hired a 17 year old singer.
 
And Nekkichi, that lame pic is from the Lovebites tour of England. Aldious have yet to set foot outside of Japan much less is that their audience. So you are twice wrong.
