For this interview I spoke with vocalist Roku, guitarist Takaki, bassist Sin and drummer Tva, four guys who form “Rumbless.” together. Rumbless. combines metal with J-Pop and elements of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) to create their unique signature sound. And even though they’re still a relatively young
雪 (Yuki)
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.
Rumbless. // The continuation of φ-phi with “Σ-sigma-“
Rumbless. is still a relative newcomer in the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene, but vocalist Roku has been in other projects (like “Project zero”, “Re;zero”, “End;Re” and “Sith”) prior to Rumbless. Despite being rather new to the scene, Roku, Takaki, Sin and Tva have a very good image of what they want. They
Jupiter // The “Warrior of Liberation”
Nearly a full year after the release of their full album “Zeus ~Legends Never Die~”, the first full album featuring KUZE as the new vocalist of the band, Jupiter now returns full force with a new single packed with three songs for fans to enjoy.
Each song on this single is unique in it’s own way, which sure
エンヴィル (ENVYL) // The musical combination of Angels and Demons
Maybe you’ve heard of エンヴィル (ENVYL) already, considering they showed up in the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene immediately once their music video for “D.I.D” hit their YouTube channel, combining metal, programming and ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) in one package with their version of light
G.L.A.M.S // “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN” Tour 2020 at Special Edition
G.L.A.M.S were originally supposed to perform at the Popcentrale for their Dordrecht stop of the date, but due to government measures relating to the rapid spreading of the COVID-19 virus the venue was forced to cancel the show just one day before it was supposed to take place. Unfortunately for G.L.A.M.S
VII ARC // “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN” Tour 2020 (support) at Special Edition
Just like G.L.A.M.S, VII ARC were supposed to support the Japanese group at the Popcentrale, but when the show was canceled to comply with government restrictions and G.L.A.M.S found a new stage at Special Edition, VII ARC moved along with them.
And again, just like G.L.A.M.S, the smaller stage meant
G.L.A.M.S // Closing the language gap through “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN”
When G.L.A.M.S announced that they would be touring Europe again despite the developments surrounding the COVID-19 virus I originally said that maybe it wasn’t the greatest time to do an interview. I recently spoke with vocalist and band leader Mikaru through an email-interview about the new album
G.L.A.M.S // Envisioning the “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN”
At the moment of writing the guys from G.L.A.M.S are getting ready to start on their next European tour. This time to promote their new release “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN”, the fourth release of the band and the next in line after the release of “EVER-CHANGING” in 2018. The release of the new album is planned
Mikaru // “I write lyrics as if they’re intended for a movie.”
This interview was done before the new album from G.L.A.M.S, “TWILIGHT AFTER THE RAIN” officially came out. Mikaru offered to answer a total of five questions about the new album, on only one condition: I would have to ask completely blind. There was no information given other than the name of the album,
