returnal

yo this album is gonna rule

yeah i edited it! couldn't tell if it's a one-day revival or whatever else, got a half a year to see lol!

after thirteen years, deadman will hold a oneman live, titled oneman live 2019 -before the dawn-, at Tokyo LIQUIDROOM ebisu on the ninth of September, 2019. the group will consist of 眞呼 (Mako) (Vo) and aie (G). Support members will be Tetsu from MERRY on bass and Asanao from lynch. on drums. nothing about whether this is a full-scale resumption of activities or just a one-day thing. official website

most vk wouldn't exist if they all took creativity workshops ba dum tss

first thing to come to mind is 和亥 (kazui) from Missalina Rei most recently being in the very un-VK band arrival art this is a legendary combination

looks like they changed their twitter @ btw i'm living for that promo image, can already imagine it being hastily printed on some laserjet and put in a slimline CD-R case, then sold a decade plus later on rarezhut for like five bucks. will their OHP be hosted on maho.jp? hopefully they sound the part as well.

tweet here as well-

this was more difficult than i imagined, sticking solely to like, guitar bands. not ranked or anything - 女王蜂 / 獄門島一家 (Ziyoou-vachi / Gokumontō Ikka) - ミツメ (mitsume) - uri gagarn - the chef cooks me - Coaltar of the Deepers - NUMBER GIRL / ZAZEN BOYS / bloodthirsty butchers - 相対性理論 (sōtaiseiriron) - Boris - サカナクション (sakanaction) - 神聖かまってちゃん (shinsei kamattechan)

god these guys are so consistently great it's almost boring. i love them

the last line, i think, is mukai saying “if possible I want to do a couple more shows" so we'll see!

NUMBER GIRL—yes, that NUMBER GIRL—are set to reform at the RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL in Hokkaido, set for 16-17th of August this year. Comment from Shutoku Mukai: official HP Natalie article

"He also complained on Twitter last December that Japan was “mean” to the rich, and moved to Malta that month to avoid paying taxes in Japan." this motherfucker! this motherfucker is all the things every other low-level bandomen scammer wishes they were. living the dream, i guess???

put some respect on kylynn's name! the look is good and as far as we know he ain't a literal pedophile

wow, that's awful to hear

Excitement! It's that pool! Like, y'know, that pool

i think so, aka Shina from NOI'X

*breaks a thousand panes of glass in mourning* nah but real i loved those motherfuckers. this sucks! hopefully they can still work together somehow?

apostrophe missing like the X album
