'SuG, ViViD, and more to appear at ‘Kirakira Summer Typhoon!! Tour 2011′

 

Rock bands SuG, ViViD, Doubt, and BORN made an announcement earlier this month that they’ll be embarking on a co-op tour, and the dates for this highly-anticipated summer event have just been revealed!

“Kirakira Summer Typhoon!! Tour 2011″ is named for the glittering new generation of visual kei that the four bands represent. Fans will get a taste of the legendary and the new, as upcoming band ‘Doubt’ will debut later this year, and rookie band BORN will play as the opening act for the rest of the guests.
All performances will be held at Zepp performances halls around the nation, beginning in Zepp Nagoya on July 20th and ending on July 28th for a total of six concerts. It costs ￥4,500 to reserve a ticket to any of the events.
Prior to this tour, SuG will be headlining their own month-long tour, named “SuG 2011 Nen SPRING TOUR”. The first of the band’s twelve performances will be held on April 2nd at Kashiwa PALOOZA OPEN.

OH MY SAKITO ALMOST N....

ZOMG FAN SERVICE! XD :

Music magazine “SHOXX” has just unveiled the cover of its April 2011 edition, featuring Nightmare’s guitarist Sakito in his first ever semi-nude shoot!

The semi-nude pictorial is a collaboration with the photographer Hanai Tooru, who has been planning this project for almost an entire year. The photoshoot aims to strip both the body and the mind of Nightmare’s guitarist and main composer.

Sakito declined the offer to do a semi-nude shoot at first, as he felt that he didn’t have the self-confidence to carry out the photoshoot. After thinking things such as, “You have no idea what kind of reaction you’ll get, but isn’t that a reason to do it?” and “If you only do conservative things, nothing can come of it,” Sakito changed his mind and decided to go through with the project.

The April edition of SHOXX goes on sale on February 21st, and will also feature articles about the Gazette, ViViD, and SuG.
