Guren // ~Crazy frogs hunting the world~ (support) at P60

雪 (Yuki) December 3, 2010 No Comments 🌸🌍 Guren 🗺️ Belgium

the fool didn't come to Amstelveen by themselves. This time being supported behind the scenes by Râmen Events meant that there was a support act to accompany them during their live show on December 2nd: Guren.
While there we also managed to take some photos of their live show.

These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio, Arlequin Photography.

✨ Interview ✨ Photography 🎵 Rock

Guren // A Belgian “family” inspired by Visual Kei

雪 (Yuki) December 2, 2010 No Comments 🌸🌍 Guren 🗺️ Belgium

In all honesty, this interview wasn't planned at all. Until we got to the show for the fool in Amstelveen, we had no idea that there would be a local (Belgium is local to us, at least) artist supporting the three frogs from Japan.

Because of how enjoyable the three members of Guren were on stage, we decided to request an interview on the spot to learn a little more about them, writing the questions for this interview while the band was still on stage.

JILUKA // K4RMA -THE RETURN- at Zeche (Bochum, DE)

雪 (Yuki) December 1, 2024 No Comments

Earlier this year JILUKA already visited Europe and the US with their “K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024”, but shortly after they already announced -THE RETURN-, and we'd be lying if we said we didn't enjoy their first time so much that we couldn't wait to see them a second time.

During this second time we of course took some photos from their live show. The link to their page on our portfolio can be found in this post!

雪 (Yuki) November 24, 2024 No Comments

Bonjour!
While our “Behind the Mask”-series was only intended to have three parts, we quickly learned from our most recent interview with KAMIJO that there would be a fourth part in this series. With that said, we really want to thank you, dear readers, for the amazing reception of this series! We didn’t expect anything near the response we received! Thank you so much!

In this fourth part, 雪 (Yuki) dives into the mini-album “VIOLET DAWN”, which was released on July 31st 2024. Are you ready for KAMIJO’s epic intense album?

In this review 雪 (Yuki) tells you all about the single as well as the legend that inspired it, so get your beverage of choice and let's dive right in!

RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

雪 (Yuki) October 6, 2024 No Comments

“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!
