Youth in the washing machine.

If this is about laundry, does that make the genre metal-chore? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

No worries! It happens all the time, especially when people don't pick super unique stage names

They look cool in this promo picture. Maybe I'll actually get around to trying them out

Aregé has reformed after 26 years and will be putting out a single tomorrow, May 15th.

The band original split in 2000 after roughly 11 months of activity. During that time, they release two demo-tapes. The reformed band features their original lineup, save support guitarist Yuuka (憂架), who sadly passed away in 2005.

Their new single, "Monochrome", will be one track in length and available on your streaming platform of choice.

Aregé

音楽配信サービスで Aregé （アージェ）を聴く。 わずか1年足らず、90年代V系シーンを閃光のごとくシーンを駆け抜けた「Arege」が、その名を改め、ついに再始動。 研ぎ澄まされたバンドサウンドと、圧倒的な表現力を放つハイトーンボイスの共鳴・・・止まっていた時計の針が、今、新たな音を刻み始める。 Monochrome

Lastly, they also wrote an essay (?) to enrich their world-building for this song. https://note.com/arche_genesis/n/nb3200e7b5b0f

tbh I'm really surprised Mel has stayed in a band for this long

Glad to hear! I think they're a lot of fun

Yuki looks good in fun auntie drag

Genuinely do not understand how this is license to break your band up, but whatever makes them happy (?) I guess.

That art is..........somethin

I think the apple's rotten right to the core
From all the things passed down
From all the apples coming before
