He just left the band during the mini album’s recording and the other members couldn’t reach him so they had to quickly recruit a new vocalist. It seems like by that time he had arguments and clashes with most of the other members, especially Ao. He also seems prone to angry outbursts so I guess he’s not the most stable soul to work with…

A little machina-china-china, as a treat.
The original 10 is one of my favourite albums of all time. The re-make is decent too, but just doesn’t hit the same.
Always love this tune~ 
One of 13’s best!
Wait a second. Is the Yukarie that plays sax for cali gari the same Yukarie from Jagatara? I think she is!
Seems to be her! Blew my mind too, haha.
Random: the band keeps steadily upping more live videos on their YT channel, love to see it! Especially when it’s this song, which one of my underrated favorites. 
They also posted a pretty good Natsu No Hi the other day too! A certified Gary classic.
I’ve been listening to a lot of 10 Rebuild lately and figured I’d try to understand the differences between both versions. Everything other than maybe the guitars seem to be rerecorded? maybe? I think the electronics and fewer weird effects on the vocals elevate the Rebuild above the original - this may be my spiciest take on the band, but I have such a hard time getting into the original 10. I think the Rebuild is lovely though, and the songs themselves have been growing on me so hard.
It’s always cool to find renewed appreciation for a release with these re-recorded or re-mixed versions. For instance, that sunflower mini (憧憬、睡蓮と向日葵) is one of my least favorite c-g releases, but there’s a slightly different alternate version (limited? fanclub ver.? I don’t know anymore) that remixes some stuff and rearranges a few sounds here and there and it just makes the whole thing better for me.

little known fact: the hospital that treats a disease called “addiction” from Izon is a reference to Shuuji and his lyric monitor
Woh, it’s the guy from the cover of Dai 7!
Great to see him still getting work even decades later! 
utterly insane how many Blue Films they fit on the 20th Anniversary Blue Film reissue - and that’s not even counting BLUE FILM -REVIVAL-!

Shuuji has pneumonia caused by COVID 
get well soon goatman!!
Wait there’s a physical release of ABC for busy people?
It’s been popping up here and there for a bit, so I think they’re selling it at lives
Kind of crazy they’re putting a live distribution single on streaming. Maybe they’ll have mercy on us and put those ¥20k+ singles on streaming in a year or two
