THE COINLOCKERS (2018/12/23 - 2021/12/22)

I not even sure if he is still involved with this project, It feels like he has lost interest.

FC gig tickets and merchandise are up for sale. Only 13 people will be able to attend the gig at the venue in person! Those (un)lucky 13 fans will be drawn through an "unbias" lottery thing.

If you want to just watch the stream, you do not need to enter for the lottery draw, handy to know if one isn't in japan currently.

JP¥4000 (+JP¥418 handling fee and +2% using foreign credit cards, total for me is JP¥4,498) is a lot for a steaming ticket, and that is just for one band, with no supporting acts, if I understand correctly.
The most I have paid so far was around JP¥3200 (including the additional fees) for two acts, with crossover performance, which lasted about 2h. They must be really struggling, if they have to resort to extract money from their fanclub fans.
BTW the fanclub fee is JP¥500 (per month), so if you want to watch the gig and quit the club, it is just under JP¥5000 !

I think he is always involved. they always mention him as the producer everytime they introduce themselves. I just dont know why he didnt work on the 3rd single and tiktok album. maybe he only wants to work on a proper single and not just a digital one. Anyway, i chanced on a Futaba showroom and she said aki-p is the one who wrote kebyou so aki-p is still invovled somehow.

^_^
I don't know what to say, just enjoy it, i guess.
I know these are just sketch videos, with Kinu-P, but I do feel bad that the production team is playing on this girls don't know sh8t theme.

Tezuka Ayano/手塚愛乃's birthday.
Don't know if anyone here is interested or can still remember her, but today/yesterday (31/Aug) is/was her birthday. The former member hosted a live stream on instagram to celebrate her 20th birthday with her supporters. Unforuntaley she posted the stream as a video on her instagram account, rather than left it as an archive, so no chat log.
I have to say her vocals have greatly improved. Watch it before she deletes it again ^_^

Nakajima Sumire/中島すみれ quits gimetech.
Actually she quits music altogether from the sounds of it. To be fair at one point you have to make the decision going full pro, casual band/musician or just hobby musician. We all have been there and she made her call, so good luck to her and i wish her a bright future.

Former coinlocker 山本朱莉/Yamamoto Juri joins 激情リフレイン/Gekizyou Refrain. Well technically she isn't joining, but a founding member, first gen, or what ever one calls it.
Looks like an chika/underground/independent idol group with some backing.

Members have been posting tropicana pictures. Maybe for a cm or something? Management is really giving them a big push if this is true and also the drama ending theme

 

Former coinlocker, and multi-instrumentalist, 泉真凜/Izumi Marin releases first MV. What is interesting about her first album is, that some of the tracks were recordered with former members on the instruments, including guitar ace 野原衣純/Nohara Izumi.
Futhermore she basically wrote most, if not all, of the songs on her EP herself, not just lyrics, we are talking about composing as well. official shop -> https://izumimarin.thebase.in/

I just saw some recent pic of kinu-p recently. I'm not sure if she is the one who got sick, but she looks underweight. If i didn't know that she enjoys her food, i would had thought that she developed anorexia.

The members who are playing the offset or orginal shimamura design guitars/basses are making some promo for the brand. You can find some pictures on ryoga's website, where some members are posing with the standard range of their guitars.

If i understand it correctly shimamura music group uses ryoga to sell guitars with original body designs, as in not copied from other guitar makers. Their other brands like History, Coolz, Busker's, James,. etc makes guitar based on famous guitar brands. But all guitars are made by FGN

 

Gunjo Mirage is now available on various platforms
