She is going to post more news later on today. Kind of suspecting that she joined the band
Nice to see her back, IMO she was the most talented guitarist out of the bunch.

Izumi will be supporting THE SUMMER ENDS as touring/live musician for the foreseeable future

 

Gekkan Pam's first MV!... kind of. It is an MV made up of their live performances.

For anyone who is interested, Mori Futaba will be starring in a four episode TV drama on Tokyo MX from tomorrowish. News is a bit older, really just a reminder. Source: https://www.sma.co.jp/s/sma/news/detail/103393?/
You might be able to watch it streamed on mcas.jp or tver, if it is getting streamed at all.

Update: It is streamed live on mcas, but you can watch it for a week on VOD. You can find it under drama section, listed as "treatmnet". As usual, you might need an japanese IP address

Old news now, but Tezuka Ayano (手塚愛乃) joined Ladybaby under a different name, but one should recognise her straight away

In case you are in japan, keep your eyes open for a band called Navy HERETIC, they have been active for at least 2ish years now. You would be surprised who is fronting the trio.

First single will be release on the 10/Jan/2024 and gig is booked in for the 24th, more information soon.
Nothing special, but they are an independent band. Basically they are writing their own tracks, handeling distribution, PR and organising gigs themselves.
Not 100% sure if this is a side project, because one of the members is still active, in another band (Buzzer01&.).

Nohara Izumi is currently supporting the band Hug2fooo!? on stage
you can find gig dates on their x account: https://x.com/hug2fooo plus some photos and clips
