Minor News Thread
-
This is for smaller updates and quick bits of information that may not need their own dedicated topic. This includes announcements such as new session bands, taibans, support member appearances, and other short-form updates happening within the Visual Kei scene. If it’s newsworthy but too minor or temporary to justify a full thread, it likely belongs here. When possible, include a source link or image for context so other users can easily verify the information.
To keep the thread readable, try to keep posts concise and avoid reposting the same news multiple times. If a piece of news grows into something larger, such as an official band formation, it may be worth creating a dedicated topic at that point. The goal of this thread is simply to collect smaller updates in one place so they don’t get lost.

Less "news" and more a "cool discovery": it was recently uncovered in the vkgy discord that Kisaki's super early band, SHËY≠DË actually went by a different name when they formed: Lusicious!
This discovery was made by someone sharing clippings from the Vol. 7 of Vicious magazine from 1994. It's unclear when they changed their name, but it seemed to happen pretty quickly after forming.
