Dir en grey will probably release a one-off single and do nothing other than tour. Same for the GazettE.
Here’s to hoping JILUKA drop something sick. I wouldn’t be mad at a single from Nocturnal Bloodlust late in the year either because Argos was pretty sweet!

I don’t really have any serious predictions, I just hope that no one has to quit because of health issues or ends up in jail.
Some not-so-serious predictions are that The Last Rockstars go viral on tiktok.
This forum gets the shock of a lifetime when everyone mentioned in the “vocalists you want to see to form a new band” thread create an a cappella supergroup.

I thought Nocturnal Bloodlust already announced a single to be released in February? Maybe I’m misremembering.
The pandemic was a bliss because bands that disbanded 2 decade ago all got back together, started posting demo’s and at least saw more of them. Now? I hope this was enough of a push for my fav bands to finally get back together at least post some on youtube like S mainly, Hush, Fairy fore most likely to play lives. AND FOR FUCKS SAKE ÄKIRA YAMAÖKA MAKE ANOTHER RECORD PLEASE! oh and I really hope linkin park releases meteora 20th edition you know cause theres 2 japanese members there and it counts as japanese music, hey did you know they made a couple demos with ‘‘one ok rock’’ or whatever their name is. Oh and ofc one can never have enough b u g l u g only this time please don’t release a single thats worth my entire salary k thx.

Hahn is korean-american
Shinoda is half- japanese
And i don’t think anyone in this forum would account Linkin park as japanese music.

merry get signed to sony music; their first new single will be an elaborate movie/theater drama opening, with PV budget exceeding annual tokyo covid spending for 2023; their 2nd single under new label is a hemorrhoid ointment CM feature, and their new album (limited edition) is coupled with a mildly laxative vegan shoyu ramen bowl.
