I heard a story about how Shiina and HZM had a disagreement about part of a song and she refused to speak to him for a day. No idea if it's legit, but I'd believe it.

Completely agree. He wasn't a scrub off the streets like Hirama and Hata when he joined the band.

I understand HZM wanting to continue doing his own thing. Hirama, though, he's a complete fool unless those old rumors are true about having a relationship with Ringo. I don't think many people would want to continue a working relationship with their ex.

Lol, all the gossip about SR paints her as someone suffering from a personality disorder. Still, stories like that makes sense to me. Going from SOS to Shambles to completely stepping back with Variety (and her becoming overly humble) suggests that there was SOMETHING up.

And why start your first major Phase 2 show with something as dramatic as Souretsu? And what was the deal with Rakujitsu and Tegami? I won't deny that gossip about this stuff would be interesting.

This is childs play from what I've heard about working with Jun Togawa :-p

btw, only now got to post this.
Do you guys know of this?



I knew from the sound of the piano in Track 7 that it's gotta be HZM; checked the credits, and it is!
I wonder why they didn't decide to lump him together with Hata in a song (should've been track 7!), 'cause that'd be extremely cool, like an unofficial tricot x jihen collab.
Or maybe the two are sick of working together.

Uki aka Nagaoka Ryousuke is on guitar on tracks 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 and 14 Hoshino Gen's new album.

(Kaasuke also plays drums on every tracks besides 6-10 and 13. And super unrelated, but Hosono Haruomi on bass on track 8 :P)

Is THIS why it sounds so goofy?

Has Micky been seen (musically) since his applemilk ventures? Dude had legit solo albums then just fell off the planet. I haven't even seen him touring with other musicians or anything?

Kameda realised who was better

Wow, I was wondering how long it was going to take for the first Oomori > Ringo post, and I'd like to thank dg for coming through.

God, I missed this place. :P
