Dada asked all of his fans on Twitter if he should release a new song onto the band’s official MySpace. Of course many fans quickly replied with ‘yes’! So he of course gave into their desire and finally put up the song. The song is called “Confession of Mask”, and it’s a 2:00 preview of what’s to be expected from the song. So far so good, right?

This year, Matenrou Opera will be making their major debut on the 22nd of December! They’ve also recently opened up a new OHP to mark the change! You can see it here. On the new site, the band sports their new look which is much simpler but also strikes me as a bit darker than before. The bands brand new OHP is also fully functional but other than a date, does not have any mention of lives typical for kicking off a major debut. But we’ll be sure to update you should we hear more!
However, Matenrou Opera have also mentioned that they will soon be releasing their first major album! The album will be titled “Abyss” and be released on the same day as their major debut. There will be a limited and regular edition, but the features included will be a bit different than you are used to.
First of all, the limited edition will have 7 tracks and come with a T-shirt of an original design. The regular edition will also have 7 tracks but come with a DVD featuring a PV and making-of video for the title track. Limited edition can be purchased through CDJapan for 4,500yen here; however, the regular edition is not yet available for pre-order but hopefully it will be soon and when it does it will cost 2,500yen.
In the meantime, if you aren’t already, you can follow Yo and Ayame on twitter:

A few days ago, we announced the addition of yet another Japanese rock star to the list of Twitter users. Yoshiki seems to be very active with his new Twitter account posting about insomnia and preparations for Lollapalooza. Well, today, he tweeted about seeing himself in the LA Times! That’s right, on Sunday’s paper, a big picture of Yoshiki’s face could be seen at the top of the page in the Arts&Books section.
If you can read what that piece of the article says, the writer describes X Japan’s efforts this year to make their official US debut at Lollapalooza and talks about the PV shootings on Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles that occurred in January. He states that X Japan will, of course, be the first Japanese artist to star in the Lollapalooza festival, thereby, making history. The writer also recognizes Yoshiki as being the leader of X Japan (thus the solo shot of him) and how he has also set new records with the first ever Hello Kitty product based on a real person when the company introduced Yoshikitty.
To suddenly see one of the most well-known JRockers in the paper, is pretty exciting! And the author seems to be well-informed. There’s a picture of that front page provided by Yoshiki, here. Did any of you guys happen to fall upon this page on Sunday?

Okay so maybe it didn’t go down quite like that, but there was a fire incident. However there was no actual fire at the convention. All of the convention was evacuated to prevent any injuries, delaying some of the panels. It was announced on Otakon’s website that there was actually no fire at all, and someone pulled the fire alarm.
Despite that, it seems that Kanon’s panel was not affected greatly by it. He posted on his official Twitter worried that his panel would be canceled, but he posted just a few minutes ago that everything went well!
Keep an eye out for our interview with Kanon. It’ll be coming up soon!
