The last time we spoke to 砂月-SATSUKI- was at the end of 2014, when he was on tour to promote his new album “Squall of Emotions”. In that interview he already said that he gained a lot of inspiration from this tour, and that clearly wasn’t a statement to keep people happy. 砂月-SATSUKI- is currently back in Europe

Maybe you have heard of G.L.A.M.S already, but in case you haven’t: G.L.A.M.S is the new project of the former vocalist of Dio ~Distraught Overlord~, Mikaru.
But aside from music, G.L.A.M.S is also very much about art, fashion, photography, film… Everything creative, really. There’s too much to name.

ADAMS is all about LOVE, an ultimate love that is far from the barriers of gender, borders and clichés. Vocalist ADAM and guitarist Shota describe themselves as a “NEOSEXUAL” rock duo who incorporate the theme of ultimate love across the borders of gender into their lyrics, music videos and live performances.

Calmando Qual // “Even though we don’t speak the same language, music is universal and we can enjoy it together.”

雪 (Yuki) May 30, 2013 No Comments

Calmando Qual is quite well known in the European ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene, but let me introduce them anyway, just to make sure. They’re a gothic ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) band, which has formed in August of 2001 by vocalist Hibiki and guitarist Tak, but only signed with Starwave Records in 2010.

Their music

Kiwamu Kai // A sneak peek behind the scenes of Starwave Records

雪 (Yuki) January 1, 2013 No Comments

During the European tour in April of last year, we already got to sit down with Kiwamu for an interview regarding the tour and the activities of BLOOD at that time. But as mentioned in that interview, Kiwamu is probably just as known for his activities as the owner of not one, but two record labels in Japan:

Kiwamu // “As a label owner I don’t see the music scene very well, that’s why I decided to bring back BLOOD.”

雪 (Yuki) April 12, 2012 No Comments

Today we managed to sit down with the founder and leader of BLOOD, Kiwamu.
This interview was quite a hassle to do, since let me tell you, getting dental work done mere hours before an interview isn’t the greatest idea someone can ever have, but there was no way around it. Luckily Kiwamu was very understanding

ネガ (NEGA) // Combining vampires, horror and Visual Kei

雪 (Yuki) September 20, 2011 No Comments
With themes of horror, vampires and quite some gore, ネガ (NEGA) easily is the darkest artist signed to the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION label. (You might recognize this name because of it's owner KISAKI, who is probably most known for his work in Phantasmagoria, among other groups.)

The current European tour also marks the very first time here for the four members, but what do we know about these vampires, really? Despite this interview being done in a bit of a rush, I didn't want to keep anything from you.
So let's go!
