Zip.er recently re-designed their OHP and updated it with brand new pictures of the band featuring their new look! You can find new images of the band in both the top image of the site as well as the Profile section.
Their new style looks really nice! Even if it is not as colorful as their previous look, it really seems to suit them better and looks more polished. My personal favorite has to be vocalist とわ (Towa)’s new look, though your’s new look is pretty nice too. What does everyone else think?
Additionally, it looks like they are basing everything off the theme of their upcoming new album, “MiLKinG” that is set for release on December 9th! You can read more about the album here.

Bad news for fans of Dali. The band has announced that they will be down one member early next year.
On January 11th at their revival oneman live, guitarist サキ (Saki) will be withdrawing from the band. It’s unclear as to why he has made the decision to leave. There doesn’t seem to be any information on the band’s OHP regarding the decision.
Saki has been with the band since august 1st 2006, Shortly after they had announced the decision to change their name from H.N[maigo] back to their original name, Dali. It’s definitely unfortunate to see him go, especially for long time fans of the band.
For those unfamiliar with the band, Dali recently announced that they would be going on a temporary activity pause that began on September 6th 2009. The band had plans to return on January 11th, the day Saki will now be leaving the band. The band will still be returning, however, after that live, they will go on as a four-member band.

A few new updates for KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND. The band has updated their OHP with a new picture and more info on their upcoming release!
The new picture isn’t really of a new look, as the members have only changed their look very slightly. However, it’s still a nice photo of the band even without much of a change. Honestly, I would be a little disappointed if they changed their look too much, it really suits the band’s style.
As for the new release details, we previously reported about the band releasing their first full album, entitled, “勝手にしやがれ” (Katteni shiyagare)” sometime in December. Unfortunately it seems that the release date has been pushed back a little bit, but luckily not much. The new release date has been set for January 13th
Track-listing:
01. 放送禁止のブルース (Housou kenshi no blues)
02. 勝手にしやがれ (Katteni shiyagare)
03. 完全犯罪 (kanzen hanzai)
04. 罠 (Wana)
05. 夜光虫 (Yakouchuu)
06. 拝啓、売国奴の皆様 靖國の空が哭いています (Haikei, baikokudo no minasama Seikoku no sora ga naiteimasu / SYGR MIX）
07. サヨナラセカイ (Sayonara sekai)
08. 縄と拡声器とヒロイン (Nawa to kakuseiki to heroine)
09. 闇を嗤え＿警告 （Yama o warau tohi / Instrumental）
10. 堕落論（Daraku ron / SYGR MIX）

Unfortunately, the band hasn’t updated their OHP with the information on the new release yet, but it is still pretty exciting to see the band releasing their very first album!
