SwampMan

Not the first time they go down, hopefully they'll come back. I had aichun.co (bomi.jp) as backup but I noticed that's dead too. Honestly I don't think there are any valid alternatives, the ones that I know of just take stuff from JPS.

Zipang isn't their first major album, it was released through Tsubasa Records, same as all their previous albums/EPs. I'm not sure what's the deal with Tsubasa though, from a quick search it seems to be an independent label with ties to Sony. I might be totally wrong though. The only certain thing is they signed with Warner Music Japan last year, which has since then released all their new stuff, UMA, SUPERKID and now SUPERMAN. I'm pretty sure that by "major", they just mean they were given a bigger budget for all production related matters, aside from signing with a more famous label, I mean not many heard of Tsubasa Records xD.

That's scary and sad... I was sleeping while there was the earthquake and the waves arrived til to Naples (I live in Rome)... I am feeling really sad for the destroyed towns and the victims...

Ye, the second score could arrive sooner, but the important is that the match has won, hoping that they will continue to be good as tonight!

@Jiyun I'm not saying they're bad now, they just went in a direction I personally don't like; they've changed quite a lot since "Silence of the Northern Hell", but it was music I enjoyed, this new BSC on the other hand.... I preferred their previous and more catchy songs with female vocals that somehow still sound heavier than this song.

This band is RIP for me. The song is good but I don't like the new vocalist at all.

I feel your pain This news really hit me in the kokoro. Unfortunately we can only accept their decision and hope they'll still be making music even though not as a band but in different projects.
