The traditional Japanese rockers Wagakki Band celebrates its 10 year anniversary!

Vocalist Yuko Suzuka said:

"10 years ago, we, Wagakki Band, started with big dreams as a unique band that combined the charm of traditional Japanese instruments with the dynamism of rock. It is thanks to everyone's continued support and love that this dream has been able to continue until today.

The time we spend with you is our greatest asset. The cheers we received at the concert, the warm words we received in the messages, all fed our hearts and gave us the strength to continue playing music.

Over the past 10 years, we have gained a lot of experience both domestically and internationally, and have grown significantly.

We are grateful that our lives have intersected with yours through the music of Wagakki Band. thank you very much.

The eight of us will continue on this new journey."

Legendary Japanese rock band GLAY released their latest single ”whodunit” featuring JAY from K-pop group ENHYPEN!

The single continues GLAY’s much-anticipated 30th-anniversary activities. The celebrated Japanese rockers, who stand as one of the nation's best-selling artists of all time, continue to push themselves creatively via a collaboration with JAY, a member of the globally popular K-pop group ENHYPEN. 

For the song’s vocal recording, GLAY members TERU and TAKURO traveled to South Korea to work directly with JAY. At TAKURO's request, JAY also penned the lyrics for his vocal section.

JAY also appears in the music video for “whodunit,”. Filmed entirely in South Korea, it captures an intense "vocalist clash" between TERU and JAY, as imagined by TAKURO. 

It also includes CG scenes inspired by the 30th-anniversary key visuals created by Eiichiro Oda, the esteemed creator of "ONE PIECE.”

Guitarist SAKI leaves Metal band NEMOPHILA!

In an announcement on the bands Website & Social media: nemophila.tokyo

"Important Announcement to Everyone

Thank you for always supporting NEMOPHILA.
We are sorry to inform that the band’s guitarist, SAKI, will be leaving the band due to differences in direction. We apologize sincerely for this sudden announcement to all our fans and staff who have supported us.

For almost five years since the band formed, the five members have walked the same path as NEMOPHILA. However, when we considered the future of the band and the happiness of each member, we have come to the conclusion that it is best for us to part ways at this time.

From now on, the band members will be mayu (Vo.), Hazuki (Gt.), Haraguchi-san (Ba.), Tamu Murata (Dr.). SAKI will continue her career as a solo guitarist.

Each of us will be taking different paths, but we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the love you have shown to the music of the band thus far. We hope that you will continue to support us with unwavering love, the music by our new four-member lineup and music created by SAKI, as we move forward."
