After their performance at Otakon in the United States Mikaru, the man behind G.L.A.M.S, decided that there has to be another live performance, but this time it will be one that is available to attend from all over the world rather than just one country.

3470.mon // “I started Visual Kei because I thought Visual Kei was the opposite”
Before we get to the actual contents of this post, we have to do a little bit of an introduction first. Since we’ll be doing something a little different than usual… The following interview was not conducted by us here at Arlequin Magazine, but by オザキケイト (Ozaki Keito) in late August of 2021.
Mr.SunFace // Combining street culture and graffiti with fashion
If you’re familiar with DaizyStripper you probably know まゆ (Mayu) as the lead guitarist of the band. But did you know that he recently jumped into a completely different project that has nothing to do with the band? He recently launched his very own clothing label Mr.SunFace!

Rumbless. // A “catastrophe.” for a business card
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
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.

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
DIR EN GREY // A view into “The World of Mercy”
Last year DIR EN GREY delighted the fans with new material in the form of the “人間を被る” (Ningen wo Kaburu) single and the full album “The Insulated World”, of which the latter was a great example of DIR EN GREY’s “shock value”, even after so many years of them
VII ARC // Halloween in Dordrecht (Powered by Songbirds 078 Festival) at DOOR
During the “Halloween in Dordrecht” event VII ARC came to DOOR in Dordrecht on October 26 to play their show for the fans, but in a different outfit than they normally wear on stage…

SANA // Joining ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino) as a special guest in Liège
Recently I already shared the news about the small European tour ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino) would be doing this October, but Uknight just shared a little update for the show on October 13th, in Liège (Belgium)!
SANA, formally the guitarist of the visual kei band MASK, is now a solo musician with an amazing
