Many regards, first the apologies, the main idea was to notify the calendar updates (via mail) at least on May 1st. Yet many of the members won’t publish their activities, pretty incredibly Livecast had a delay of at least one week to submit their final schedule, it was then when I realized what was going on, a bit weird I must say: Golden Week (a series of festivities/holidays) in Japan showed up its power!!! So, as there are activities for this month, they may not be as many as in tough April.
I hesitated on sending mail after mail which could end in the spam folder or the trash (I rather like sending a solely bold mail once). Nonetheless, if some visitors checked the site meanwhile, they could see how the lives and events were being added like silent drops one after another.
News
- So news, you can read what’s been going on finally with ACID and their remaining members here, new members, old friends, a change in their style of music and a new Live to be held.
- At the same time, in order to celebrate their anniversary, BINECKS has decided to held a series of special events in a limited time, starting … May 21th!!! as for so they are inviting all the fans to drop by their site since this Wednesday, May 20th. More information here.
- BULL ZEICHEN 88 opened the month, KAZUMA and NATCHIN followed. All by Livecast as always. I wanted to record the interviews, yet it was imposible to me, in the mid of distraction I heard that BULL ZEICHEN 88 could be recording a new album, but it is more a gossip than something confirmed, note that the show airs at rush hour here. KAZUMA was invited as a guest in NATCHIN‘s hour past week, as KAZUMA‘s show is half an hour before. So if anyone has recorded the shows I’ll be thankful if anyone can handle them to me in anyway.
- The last Lives of DETROX have been added to the calendar, being the last Vol9 (Librarian) and the Vol8′s (Sexmachine Guns) data & date have been confirmed, I am glad to say tickets sold out!
- I also had on queue BIG BITES 「JET STREAM ATTACK」 nationwide tour, so all the performances to be held on June have been added already.
- I wasn’t quite sure but Gackt‘s tour has been added too, as JUN-JI participates on it. You’ll find it under JUN-JI 「Gackt Visualive Arena Tour 2009」 (Yeah, I did shortened the name). Also as some other of JUN-JI‘s activities: KORE-I-JUN‘s lives have been added to the chart.
Articles
- I translated (as an article) the BINECKS 「Permanent Crystals」 FINAL LIVE in AKASAKA BLITZ LIVE REPORT from meVIEWsa radio autorship, a site I enjoy because they always send me good reading news. I know it might be a bit late, yet I’ll be expanding it with more photos, as I don’t think a new entrie is needed for the purpose. I apologize in advance for the translation, as it’s the first time I ever do a complete trans, so there might be tons of mistakes due to my almost nonexistent Japanese, the try is made after years of decoding stuff though.
- Between the further projects I am planning another small article on DETROX‘s performances. I am only announcing it by now, but wait for it, as I’ve doing quite a research on it.
Discography
- While back I added to the discography the profile of BINECKS‘s new single 「Blue Feather」.
- And past week I added Needless Lyrics (ex-ACID)’s new homonym album 「Needless Lyrics」.
- Profile’s name for BINECKS‘s 「SPECIAL DVD」 was changed to 「Permanent Crystals SPECIAL DVD」 for the name to stand correct, also, pictures of the disc and more information of the content were added, like the names of the 3 songs that were recorded on the Live included in the Special 1 from the DVD, check it out. Reviewing the setlist from that Live I must say I felt a bit disappointing that 「Influence of Love」 wouldn’t make it to the DVD, but anyways. I am not a youtube dedicated fan when it’s related to musical issues (mostly due to the low quality audio & video music is “shared”) but if someone finds the lives there I’d appreciate to be aware of it.
- THIS WILL BE THE LAST NEWSLETTER TO EVERYONE SUBSCRIBED THIS WAY, I’LL ENHANCE NEW WAYS OF SHARING THE CONTENTS OF THIS SITE, SO IT CAN REACH YOU ON TIME.
Voice: I’ve been lacking of time lately, April was a terrible month for so many reasons, mostly familiar. Bad news that are never few, personal issues, killing deadlines for the magazine, the job and many other projects. I thought of giving up. But then I thought of how much I fought to take back
EVERLASTING, rebuild it and give it its own place, to now find the guts and erase it and with it 5 years of my life. This site’s intention was always to support the members that formed
SIAM SHADE, call it love for the music, call it fanatism (never in a bad way), hoping the project would help to spread and maintain the support for the guys, even being
overseas, and for so less than the main target, but in a constant growing up.
I wanna thank to everyone who visits the site and who support the artists, spreading the news, hearing their music (purchasing their records, I wish!) and being pendant from their activities, also I wanna thank the person who’s been supporting me in all these late hard moments: thank you!
DAITA was invited to participate in Cinder Road‘s latest album 「Damage Control」 (2010.10.27), Cinder Road‘s vocal Mike Ruocco is known for covering 「Dreams」 at the 「SIAM SHADE Tribute」.
