MIRAI // “Music crosses borders.”
It’s been a while since we last featured Angels’ Temptation, but that doesn’t mean the members have just been sitting around and doing nothing. Our last time featuring them unfortunately had some sad news about a member leaving the group, and it has been a bit quiet in terms of new music coming from the
竜神 (RYUJIN) // (2/2) “I would like to introduce Samurai Metal around the world!”
Last week we already published part one of our interview with 篠本竜司 (Shinomoto Ryuji), in which we spoke about the reason behind the change from GYZE to 竜神 (RYUJIN), as well as 竜司 (Ryuji)’s musical history and his international ambitions as a Japanese metal musician.

Dress Up Town // “Weeb Rock!!” at Astrant
Dress Up Town came to Astrant in Ede for the very first edition of "Weeb Rock!! Anime and J-Pop Night", rocking the venue with their anime and video game cover songs. D.U.T. is not a strange sight in the Dutch convention world, since the band is often listed as a performing act on local conventions, and with their repertoire of up-to-date modern covers as well as classics, it's no surprise that the venue was packed!
Of course we joined the party as well, and took some photos of their live show. These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio Arlequin Photography.

JILUKA // “Too much fakers, I show you who is G.O.A.T”
If you’re familiar with the modern ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene it’s quite likely that you have seen the name “JILUKA” at least once, or possibly have seen a photo or video from Sena’s YouTube channel.

葉月 (HAZUKI) // 蓮華鏡 (Rengekyou): Putting my overlowing tears into a song
While 葉月 (HAZUKI) is mostly known for the darker style that borders between rock and metal with lynch., his solo works take a completely different approach with a symphonic style. And 葉月 (HAZUKI) wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t take some of the theatrical performance he displays in lynch. with him in
Rides In ReVellion // Ride the wave of revolution
Rides In ReVellion isn’t exactly a brand new name in the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene, since they already started sharing their music with us fans in 2015.
