Following SKULL’s September 15th performance at Takadanobaba AREA, their bassist, Sakura, will leave the band. Though their mini-album, Ugly Black Showcase, is scheduled for release on August 15th, the band’s activities following Sakura’s departure have yet to be determined.
As some of you may know, Takuya Angel is a respectable fashion designer/model in Japan dealing with the visual and cyber generation.
Samehada and I have decided to launch a fan art and fan fiction contest with the end prize of a 3000 yen CD Japan gift certificate for each. Rules are under the more.. continue reading for all the information you need.
To enter the contest, you must send your entries to contest@jrockvisual.com.
The east coast is getting lucky this year during the fall, that is for sure.
Tainted Reality presents Versailles at Anime USA 08 during October 10-12. They will have a full autograph session, fan Q&A, and, of course, a full concert. Make sure you pre-register for this event or you would not gain entry to any of these events.
Also, Tainted Reality is bringing Versailles to New York City because of JASMINE YOU’s disappointment when he did not see the Statue of Liberity the first time around. The date is not set for their live in NYC, so it is to be announced.
Tainted Reality presents the world debut of the first full length album, NOBLE, from Versailles a week and a half before it hit stores in Japan. The broadcast is tonight, and I hope you all heard about this ahead of time. During the broadcast, there will be comments from the band that were specially recorded for Tainted Reality.
Also, during the course of the broadcast, Tainted Reality will make a major Versailles announcement.
Tune in at http://www.taintedreality.net. You do not want to miss out on something such as this. Airing time is 5 PM PST and 8 PM EST.
I apologize for posting this information during the day of the broadcast.
the cover art for the GLASS SKIN single has recently been released. In all honesty, I think Toshiya made it (since he likes to draw and stuff) with finger paints (just my guess).
My personal feelings on the art though, is that it is ugly as hell.
That is right, GPKISM will have their first maxi single avaliable during the beginning of September. The copies are limited, and the release date is announced. This news was posted on a Myspace bulletin, but I am sure the information will be posted on their website as well.

Hope to see you there.
Another round of releases, appearances, and even some postponements have been made. Lets get started shall we.
Megamasso will be releasing their new single, Beautiful Girl, on August 6. The single will come in 2 versions. Version A (regular) will have 3 tracks, while Version B (limited) will contain 2 tracks and the DVD containing the PV for the title track.
Angelo is making a few stops in L.A. during the month of October. Amongst these stops will be a concert at Whiskey A GoGo (which I’m guessing will be 21+). They will also be holding photo sessions and meet-and-greets. But to get to attend these events you have to be a member of the Angelo fan club, which you can apply for between July 1st and 31st.
SIVA is making their return with two brand new singles and their second mini-album. August 20th, singles, demolish and libelalism will be released. These upcoming singles will be limited up to 3,000 copies. Death Education, the new album will be hitting streets on October 8th in two flavors. The CD+DVD edition will contain 5 tracks and the PV for libelalism, while the regular edition will carry a bonus track titled grief.
D has announced that they are postponing the release of their new single, Yami no kuni no Alice. As some of you may know, this song will be used for the theme of the game “Twilight Syndrome -kinjirareta toshi densetsu-”, which could in fact have something to do with the postponement.
12012 will be releasing their new single, 太陽 (Taiyou), or August 20. The new single will be available in three versions. The regular edition will feature the title track in addition to KALEIDOSCOPE as well as a live version of butterfly. Limited edition A will come with the previously mentioned tracks along with a DVD with the music video for Taiyou. Lastly, limited edition B will feature the bonus track, Hello, seventeen.
+D’espairs Ray+ announced recently that, 神風 (Kamikaze), their new single will be released on August 6th.
