Tara is leaving 176BIZ as of today;__;
Luckily the other members haven't decided to just kaisan.phew.
There have been so many bands doing that lately.. I can't bear to see more-_-
I hope they quickly find a new bassist and continue with the band!
So much quits and kaisans already... the kaisaning craze hasn't stopped since 2005:/ bands should really work harder and try not to disappoint their fans, so many bands seem to stay together for maybe a few months or a year then disband.

I am finally going to Japan.
And I am also attending the 8/2 THE KIDDIE live!!!!
There isn't only going to be THE KIDDIE there, but
TONS and TONS of bands I just love to DEATH.
I might not get to see them live, but I still might get a glimpse of them wandering around or something I am JUST FUCKING EXCITED
I didn't even get to go to the Ayabie live or the Pumpkin Head live so I was begging my mom like crazy for THE KIDDIE

I'm finally going!!!!!!!!!

Tons of things have already happened in the visual kei scene this year. I've been keeping track of things since the beginning of the year, and there has been just as many kaisans and quits and new members and new bands as last year. I don't think there will be any year after this that has less bad news and more good news. Some of the most welcomed news is the new bands that will be starting, or already have started activities like Zoro, Ryuuji and Tatsuhi's new band, and the most famous yet, Daisuke, aie, Yukino, and hibiki's new band the studs. I've listed all the things I've seen this year.

Not in any kind of order,it's just the order they popped up in my head.

gt.Nao(ex-TRiCK)
