I think it was a special concert, and Oreo started complaining that everyone wasn't pumped up enough.

Then as they re-started playing, she kept talking, saying she wanted to change the song so her keyboard could be included, then bass player (don't know her name. Sorry. >__<) says, "WE AREN'T CHANGING IT!!!"

^ F Chopper KOGA! I almost posted a picture of her looking incredibly sexy so you would never forget...(okay here they are).

Anyone listened to their new album yet?
It's all there again; Hana and Oreo sharing a few rocksongs, Tomo-zo singing a popsong, Oreo doing a couple of (semi-)ballads, plus the singles we already know (the extended version of Yumekuizame is almost the same as the single version). Plus lots of distorted vocals (and some growls), lots of nice little solospots, bleeps and things, so the usual I'd say.

But I am excited. It's all good. Maybe no instant stand out tracks, but I like most of the songs now that they have grown on me a little.

Minor point (or major when it gets on your nerves) is Hana's snare drum on about half of the tracks. It almost sounds like an empty oil drum on tracks like Digital Fiction. Raw and punkish, and therefore rather predominant. No idea why they did this.

[sales numbers edit]
They only sold 4K in the first week... this band is so underrated.  :cry:

Is it me or has Reona put on a few pounds?



I do get a laugh out of how they are wearing sports-style uniforms.

Takae Ashitomi - Armmy -, Gacharic Spin's original vocalist, has passed away.

Koga comments on it on her blog:
先程、知人からGacharic Spin初代Vo.Armmyの訃報を聞きました。

あまりにも突然の事で、戸惑っています。

彼女とは別々の道を歩んでからは1度も会う事はありませんでしたが
ひとときでも同じ目標に向かって歩いてきた仲間として残念でなりません。

ご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。

She says that they haven't met since the break, but that she's bewildered and saddened by the news.

Eita, the other half of Takae's new band project, TAKAEITA, has an announcement up on her blog about the funeral service: http://ameblo.jp/eita-hime/entry-12084962825.html

It seems Eita was away on work business in China when it happened. I've been trying to find information about what actually happened, but haven't found anything so far. I'd be very grateful if anyone would share info, if there is any available.

I'm very sad to hear about her passing. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and bandmates.

I really don't know what to say :(

I'll miss her a lot, I was always hoping Takaeita would go somewhere and she could find success again... really I have no clue what happened. Maybe something to do with the illness that made her leave the band in the first place?

I'll never forget her.

Incredibly sad news. May Takae san Rest in Peace...

And thinking of the sadness that her family and friends are experiencing, may they somehow find peace during their grieving...

New single - out now.



And to emphasize their versatility;
a super sweet acoustic live version of 'Yugenjikkou' with all 6 members -more or less- involved instrumentally.

A nice fan-made tribute to Armmy with very old pics and videos.

Just found a newer version of Ben-Jan-Dan. Damn this is funny. These girls are insane, especially Reona.

Also, anyone know what happened here? Looks like the song fell apart.

Hana's guitar is out of tune. She tries to tune it during the intro of the song, but at the moment that Mai taps her on the shoulder (as if she tries to remind Hana that it's time to start playing, hehe) she gives up.

I found this very in-depth article on GS. It's worth a read. It's out of date and doesn't include Armmy's death, and misses a few things, but by and large is very comprehensive, although outing Hana isn't cool.

BTW does anyone know where the live shows above are from? The two clips with BenJanDan and Yumekui Zame. Is it a live DVD?

Gachapin TV just posted the opening movie to the 10th anniversary DVD (which I do have and need to watch still ><) but it's here!
Interestingly they do feature Armmy and all 3 performers when they've been omitting them at times
