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:

Irokui Reveals Album Art & Brand New Look

Posted by Noah On August - 30 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS  

Just last month, we reported that Irokui had announced the upcoming release of a new mini-album, entitled, ““確率的です。でも、法則です。” (Kakuritsuteki. Demo, housoku desu) set for September 22nd. While all of the general information was luckily available at the time, the album art was still in the process of being printed. However, the band has now officially released the covers for each type of the new mini-album along with revealing their brand new look!

The band’s new style seems to revolve around the use of the matching, silver on black, star adorned material each member has incorporated into their outfits along with baby blue band t-shirts. It’s definitely a flattering choice and suits them quite well! It also seems that vocalist ゆーり (Yuri) is opting for an ever-growing feminine style these days! Personally, I’m surprised by how well he’s pulling it off. Really though, what do you guys think of their new look?

For a better view of their new outfits be sure to check out their profile photos on their OHP.

ALiBi’s New Look & Oneman Live Announcement

Posted by Noah On August - 30 - 2010 1 COMMENT  

The colorful visual kei trio, ALiBi, has updated their OHP with a brand new look to go along with the announcement for a new oneman event!

The oneman live will be hosted by the band’s label, LOOP ASH, and has been entitled, “NEXT NEW STAR”. It has been scheduled to take place on November 21st at Ikebukuro BLACKHOLE. Further information is unavailable at this time, however, we will keep you updated once we know more.

As for the band’s updated look, it seems like ALiBi isn’t dropping their bright sense of style anytime soon! While the most noticeable changes are definitely the choice of darker clothing and the fact that guitarist 迦瑛 (Kae) is sporting a much darker hairstyle than his usual bright red, they generally are keeping with a similar theme as before. They look good though and I must say, I think the pink anchor design on vocalist カイ (Kai)’s hair is quite a nice touch!

Here’s another look at the band’s new style via their profile photos:

GoDeath’s New Look & Movie Appearance

Posted by Noah On August - 28 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS  

There are a few interesting updates for GoDeath fans, the band not only has a brand new look, but they have also revealed that they are featured in a new movie as well!

The movie, entitled, “結び女-MUSUBIME-“ had it’s very first screening held just earlier today. However, those who have missed the first screening will have another chance to see the movie on September 25th. After each screening the band will actually have a chance to hold a meet and greet with those who had attended the film!

As for the band’s updated new look, they are keeping it fairly casual, but of course with a nice, metal influenced theme. Vocalist 煌 (Kou) and drummer Ali seem to be mixing metal with a feminine touch while guitarist 麻華 (Asaka) and bassist 居場 (Iba) are a bit more androgynous over all. Personally, I think the laid back style of the group image is nice to see, usually group photos seem so serious! What do you guys think?
