has another amusing PV--and Chisato's in it! Seems to be dead, though, poor guy.

Gackt's Training Days 2006 Drug Party DVD is an amazing concert! Pared down production-wise from his usual extravaganzas, this one is all about the music--and the sexiness of it! Instead of a crew of dancers, elaborate costumes, and complex story lines, we get Gackt, the band,   and a track list of his very best songs. The guys are playing all the ( Read more... )

Or, how to spend more money on something you already have anyway.

CDJapan just announced an upcoming release of the complete Gackt solo videography in two DVDs: Red and Blue. All PVs from 1999 through 2006. I guess it would be nice to have them in crystal clear easy-to-watch-on-TV DVD versions, since I don't own the Platinum Boxes and most of my PVs ( Read more... )

"DECADE" due out 12/7. It sounds like a "best of" album of Chisato, both solo work and with Crack 6. There also seems to be talk of a new song, possibly with Sotaro of ZZ? My translation is very bad so I'm not totally sure what's going on, but I'm looking forward to "it" whatever "it" is!

With Maneuver 6, a three-track maxi-single, Chisato and his year-old group Crack 6 continue their pursuit of the ultimate fusion of rock, pop, hiphop and rap. It’s good-time music: fun to listen to, great for dancing. Just don’t try to analyze it too deeply ( Read more... )

Air (Chachamaru; Crown Nippon)

Classic guitar rock for the new century!
Chachamaru's new progressive-rock solo album "Air" is one of the best things to come out of Japan this year. While the work encompasses a variety of sounds and styles, it is always solidly based in classic guitar rock. Indeed, the album begins with an experimental-sounding ( Read more... )
