Tokami are about to release their new single, titled “Luminescence”, on January 21, 2015!
The single will be released through Starwave Records, and even though the official release date is set for mid-January you can secure your copy early at the release party held in 池袋CYBER (IkebukuroCYBER) on December 17.
Starwave Records has published the following comment about the release:
“Man only realizes what is important after it has been lost.”
After picking up activities again with the new additions of Kazuha and Reno, Tokami finally announce their newest release in the form of a 2-discs set including a CD with 3 tracks and a DVD with the music video for “Addicted Lover”, a fan-favorite at live shows!
A sponsored event in commemoration of the release will be held on December 17 at 池袋CYBER (IkebukuroCYBER).”

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's still the one responsible for the interviews and most of the live photography you see here at Arlequin, but the majority of reviews and behind-the-scenes work is also done by her.
The reviews she writes are from the viewing point of an overseas fan, and thus written in English before being translated to Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. In the English versions she also tries to explain the meaning behind certain kanji or song titles to the readers, but what you don't see here is that these explanations are omitted in the Japanese versions in order to appeal to these readers more.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
