Wow! Looking pretty emo there huh, Yuki?
As if the Aucifer news wasn’t good enough, it was also recently reported that Yuki is in a new band called Rayflower who have a double A-side single titled “Uragiri no Nai Sekai Made / Aoi Ito” coming out on May 26th. Their site can be found at rayflower.jp. Do check out this Tokyograph article for more info. What the article doesn’t mention though is that the anime in question is of the “boys love” variety. Just thought I’d mention that. There’s a preview out that doesn’t sound half bad!
Pretty excited about this, actually, as Yuki’s been my favorite member to follow after Aucifer. While I’m not the biggest fan of DUSTAR-3 I can’t lie about occasionally bursting into “Mckeekee” on my guitar every once in a while, and Acid Black Cherry, yasu’s (Janne da Arc) solo project where Yuki plays support guitar, is just great. If you haven’t checked them out yet, what better time to do so than right now? Try not to mind the crossdressing at the start too much — unless that’s your thing, of course.
Speaking of DUSTAR-3, they have a new album called TRIKE coming out on April 28th. Looking forward to hearing Yuki’s soloing! Oh, and this reminds me: if anyone wants to sponsor me with Yuki’s bitching custom ESP Lizard Special guitar, I’d be pretty happy about that.
On a completely unrelated note, I’d like to share a quick piece of Atsuro news. Well, it’s not so much news as it’s just “a quick Atsuro spotting“. Atsuro’s played guitar for several names that I’m a fan of (Hello! Project, Shokotan, etc.) but this is one I wasn’t aware of before. I was watching the Kouhaku 2003 show the other day and look who was playing guitar for aiko of all people:
I’m unsure if he’s featured on any of her recordings but it’s probably safe to assume he’s just played in her live band before. In any case, this is cool for me as I’ve been seriously getting into aiko lately. Another artist I’d highly recommend to anyone, by the way.
Thanks to GN-0015 for letting me know about Rayflower!
If it’s for the love of Λucifer, I’ll help with all my might. The song from Rayflower kinda suit my taste, it rocks!! But I can’t really stand with the girl in the video, she’s… freaking weird XD
@GN-0015: Wait a minute, there was a girl?! I was busy staring at Yuki’s beautiful fingers! Maybe my priorities are a bit off? 😛 But yeah, I’m liking what little we can hear of the song so far. Looking forward to the release date.
@Henkka
Actually there are 2 of them!! And both look weird to me XD They aren’t members, just “guest stars” for the video. And I can’t wait to get the song, and the full PV. By the way, did you know that their debut single is a double A-side?
@GN-0015: Oh wow, there they are. Completely missed them on my first watch! But hey, random girls in PV’s should be nothing new to you, right? Being an Aucifer fan and all… 😛
About the single being an A-side, I thought I wrote it in the post but then I noticed I didn’t even mention the title, let alone the release date… obviously my news reporting still needs a little practice! 😀
