Scarlet Valse are about to release their new mini-album, titled “Story”, on May 27, 2015!
The album will be released through Starwave Records, and even though the official release date is set for late May, you can secure your copy early at live shows, starting at March 19.
Starwave Records has published the following comment about the release:
“The beginning of a new story.”
After returning to their roots, Scarlet Valse begins again with a new story. The new release includes five brand new songs as well as a re-recording of “Voyage in Chronos”, by the new member lineup.
New challenges in both their concept and musical style are condensed into this new beginning. The title track, “Story”, also features several guests vocalists, namely Rui (from ミサルカ (Misaruka)), Iori (from Magistina Saga), Neon (ex. AO) and Yusuke (ex. Banquet For The Clown).
The DVD features a music video for the title track “Story”, and the album will be released in two different versions: one nationwide release and one that’s only available through the webshop.
A pre-sale event will be held at 池袋CYBER (IkebukuroCYBER) on March 19, and a tour will start off on the same date with the final stop being at Ebisu Aim on May 13 as a twoman live.”

雪 (Yuki) is the owner and driving force behind Arlequin.
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years she is still the main person who does interviews the interviews and live photos that you see on Arlequin, but also a large chunk of the reviews and behind-the-scenes work and communication goes through her.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
