Heavy-hitters D'ESPAIRSRAY are active again, and looks like they're slowly gearing up activities. Having returned with a short live set at last year's CROSS ROAD Fest, they already reopened their fanclub, established their official Youtube channel and published various past releases on streaming platforms.
This year, the first big event will be their already sold-out oneman performance "RAPTURE" on May 4th, at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo. The occasion is extra-special because VVIP and VIP ticket holders are expected to receive a DVD which will contain the music video of the band's new song!
Today, they shared a very short but very promising snippet of said video:

Along with this, they also announced a very busy live schedule for May, so it really looks like they're starting to get back into the swing of things (not to mention their upcoming overseas live at B7KLAN's J-rock Fest this summer).
...basically I just wanted to make this thread to gush how excited I am about those 8 seconds on new music, hahaha

BIG UP! (big-up.style)
This is another game I remember from the MH days and it goes as such: I'll give a list of 10 bands at random, and you take one band off that list and replace it with your own, and the person after does the same, and the game keeps going like that. It was pretty cool, so maybe it'll take off and get some traction here too lol. Here's the first list!

Their first MV is out
All information here has been obtained from YUTURA, which sums up the events, plus additional posts from Deathdol Note and is recounted here by translation via Deepl/Google to the best of my ability (I am NOT a fluent JP speaker).
Guitarist 河村 友雪 (Tomoyuki Kawamura) and bassist 眞崎 大輔 (Daisuke Masaki), two members of 0.1gの誤算 (0.1g no Gosan) have been exposed by the scandalous twitter account "DEATHDOL NOTE" (modern day tanuki of vkei/idol/influencers) of having inappropriate affairs with a manager and even a fan.
Described as "the biggest scoop in DEATHDOL history", the outlet teased an exposé involving the tragic suicide of the band's manager at the time during the COVID pandemic, and her relationship with Tomoyuki. Additionally, they also had information about Daisuke's relationship with a fan, which led to her bearing his child. The band's agency released a statement admitting these allegations (now deleted, see saved version below), and initially blamed Tomoyuki's deteriorating mental health due to the pandemic for the ill-fated relationship with his manager.
However, after backlash, the agency revised their statement, instead giving a generic comment acknowledging the facts of both Tomoyuki and Daisuke's affairs and left out further details out of respect for the families of the other involved parties.
Tomoyuki and Daisuke also followed with their individual statements, posted simultaneously on 5/8, taking responsibility for their actions and apologized.
Deathdol has cancelled further coverage of the situation going forward. The outlet previously exposed vocalist 緑川裕宇 (You Midorikawa)'s relationship with a longtime fan shortly after a clip of a free show from the band held went viral.
M.E.S.S will release their new digital single "残響遊戯 (Zankyou yuugi)" on 2026.04.29

UNiTE. has announced that Gt.LiN will temporarily pause activities starting today, 5/8, due to personal circumstances. They anticipate his return for August, although it's uncertain at this time.
UNiTE. 2026 SUMMER ONEMAN LIVE TOUR 「KICK THE SiXTEEN」開催決定！

The band will still continue activities in his absence.
Because of vocalist Miren being a player, Souka decided to disband in May, yet that's not said in the disbandment message but its obvious the reason.
More info about the events planned in May will be shared later.

Important Notice from Souka
Thank you sincerely for your support for Souka from the bottom of our hearts.
Souka, which has been active since its start on December 1, 2025, will be disbanding in May 2026.
We sincerely apologize to all of you who have been supporting us for this sudden announcement.
To everyone who has supported us, and to all those who have been involved with us — the members would like to express our deepest gratitude.
Although our time together was limited, the days we spent as Souka and the scenery we were able to share with all of you are irreplaceable and precious treasures to us.
The remaining time is short, but until the very end, we will continue to deliver our voices, thoughts, and sincerity as Souka.
We would be happy if you could watch over us until that final moment.We kindly ask for your continued support for Souka in the future as well.

We deeply apologize for this sudden report of such a kind
April 30, 2026
As of today, the following fan will be prohibited from attending all future Souka performance events, as well as all events involving Souka members.
The reasons are as follows:
・Acts of connection with vo. Miren (lewd acts, private contact)
・Acts of solicitation toward other customers
Due to the above two points, there is a possibility of causing trouble to other fans or events featuring Souka in the future, so we will take this measure.
https://fxtwitter.com/miren_souka/status/2049784102149411025
I am truly sorry that I have to write an report message like this.
Despite having a girlfriend (referred as Ms. A) whom I have been dating and living with since around March 2025, I connected with the fan in question as well as other fans, and engaged in physical relationships with them. As a result, I caused Ms. A a great deal of pain and discomfort. Because of this, it ultimately ended up causing trouble for the other members as well. After discussions, we have decided to permanently ban the fan in question and ensure that there will be no further contact. I deeply regret my actions, which have betrayed the support and expectations of all the fans who have always cheered for us. I am very sorry for causing you all this trouble this time.

Also a last new visual was shared
https://fxtwitter.com/Saiai_Info/status/2052260454123323591
Saiai no Kuzu already sells cheki for 1500 yen, but said obtaining fujifilm cheki films is extremely difficult, and they already sell 1 cheki for 1500yen.
To not raise the price, they want to try Kodak Mini cheki. I checked the internet and it's about 1,500円 for 30 films on big camera.
they say the white rand is different from the normal but when I search the internet, I can't find that size they used... maybe someone can?
If the quality is as so good, I wouldn't mind if bands would change to Kodaki mini cheki (^o^)
what do you think?
