HOWL will disband, ie. “end activities”, after their 6th anniversary live at Shinjuku club Science on 10/2.
It hurts .
PATHW●RD is an amazing album —I mean, they really were a brutally underrated band by all metrics. Had some of the best looks for modern-day vk, in my opinion. I hope to see the members in new bands/projects, even though from their messaging, some members returning to the industry might not be a given.
Major bummer. I also greatly enjoyed their album release earlier this year and thought they had a lot of potential.
A memorial fan book, “#dialogue” has also been released in 2 editions at their webshop (normal edition 5000 yen, luxury edition 25,000 yen). Stuffed with 96 pages, the book features live photos from their last live, an audio interview with the band, private YouTube video links including choreography videos, arthouse photos with the members’ handprints, and handwritten messages from the members.
The luxury edition also includes an oversized acrylic stand of the band, a LED acrylic stand of the band logo with an alarm clock, a digest video of 6 years of activities, and a limited video link to 3 videos of their oneman shows, including their last live.
The book is scheduled to be shipped in mid December.
Got the deluxe edition.
