3 New Songs!
Member-Produced ZINE-Songs
A series of 5 standalone singles, each produced by a different member, and released around the time of their birthdays. Each single is being released via their own store on the 9th of every month from May onward, in the format of a Zine with a CD, and so far, both singles showcase very different sides of ALICE NINE. This is your excuse to give them (another) listen!
Produced by Hiroto
hoshifuru yoru ni wa kimi wo omou
(星降る夜には君を想う)
On starry nights, I think of you
Hiroto was in charge of the photography for this video (and the connected zine), and it has a really nice blend of contrasts in terms of shots and scenes taken at different times of day, in different locations, combining both urban and natural scenery. Both the song and the video are wonderfully soothing.

Produced by Saga
Bury the night
In a tweet, Show explained that Saga not only composed this song, but also wrote the lyrics, remarking that, "A song where I didn't write any of the lyrics at all is a first! Felt fresh!". Tora directed the music video, and Intetsu (from Ayabie) filmed it (and probably took the photos for the upcoming ZINE... that is, assuming it will have the same format as the previous one!). This instrument-switching pastel track captures the essence of couch-coop gaming!

Birthday Lives
At the end of the NUMBER SIX. live broadcast, Saga unveiled an epic cover of LUNA SEA's song Dejavu as a promotion for "SAGA SEA", Saga's LUNA SEA cover themed birthday live set for June 24th.
Hiroto's birthday live had to be rescheduled for June 13th due to the pandemic, but you can already buy your livestream ticket [ here ]!
Livestream tickets are not yet available for the other birthdays, but the titles and themes for June/July have been announced! They are:
SAGA SEA on June 24th
Saga's birthday will be a LUNA SEA cover song live!
The Vocalists on July 5th
Show has invited solo artist SHIN and Issei from BugLug to join as guest vocalists!
Egao no Bakudan on July 31st
"Smile Bomb"... seems like a play on the B'z song Ai no Bakudan ("Love bomb")!
As an aside, if you placed an order for this round of merch through FAKE STAR, your order will soon be on its way!

Mod Notes
This community has been used more as a news page for over a year now, and that might partly be because of all the modifications I made to the community rules. It's also almost certainly a function of my posting less in general. Are there any requests out there? Is there anything you'd like to see more of on the community? Are there any rules you don't agree with, or changes you'd like to suggest? Again, I'm sure most people are on Twitter by now, but I thought it might not hurt to ask.
