オトガデッド (Otogadead) has recently revealed what they really looked like, updating their ohp with their first official group-shot!
The band has a really lovely sense of style grouped with dark and somewhat haunting visuals.
The previous picture the band had up as a group-shot was a beautiful drawing of the members, by the same artist who has done other graphics for their site, including the album cover for their first release, “clockwork oblivion”.

BLEAKLAY has recently announced that their guitarist, 玲 (Ray) has made the decision to withdraw from the band as well as retire from music completely. His final live will be held next month at Hakata DRUM Be-1 on October 20th, the live will be sponsored by the band itself.
Both the rest of the band and Ray has left a personal message regarding the decision on their ohp. The band said that they are very sorry for the sudden announcement and that they hope that the fans will continue to support them even after Ray leaves.
Ray’s comment was a bit longer and seemed very heartfelt. He said he was also sorry for the sudden announcement, but that the decision was beyond his control at this point. He said that he has completely lost an interest in making music at this point, so it seems like he has no intentions on returning to music in the future. However, he hopes that the fans will still be able to enjoy the last moments they can with him while he is still performing and asks them to have a good time at their final live.
Let’s all wish Ray the best of luck in the future, wherever he may go and whatever he may do!

D will have one of their new previously unpublished songs, entitled, “Day by Day” featured in a popular video game. The videogame is from the neo-romance series of games by KOEI, entitled, “ラブφサミット” (Love Summit). The game itself seems to be a mobile only game, and it seems like it is already available to play.
You can check out a sample of the new song on the game’s promotional video provided on the game’s ohp, [here]. Just scroll down to where it says, “Special Issue, Promotional Movie” on the side bar and click for the pop-up of the video.
The song sounds really upbeat and pop-like. What does everyone else think?
