Nuuuu 
They had a good run… 14 years is still an amazing amount of time they were able to be around.

The fact that they just released the single [Gene’s Code] 2 weeks ago , and I thought they will be more active again…
鴾弥-tokiya- carries a very unique vocal tone not many others has.

I swear I was just recently kinda marveling at how long they’ve been going in total. I spent a time REALLY into them again just these past couple years around Catastrophe, but yeah the stagnation since then seemed pretty plain to see 
@Bunny I agree! I really like it and I’ve always found it a little hard to describe lol, I hope he will find something to do soon. He’s had some really solid vocal covers he’s done on Youtube lately too!
I’m honestly impressed they managed to carry on this long. It was a pretty good run for a band their size.

Shiva will end digital distribution of their music:

And that’s why physical media/downloads are important.
“The reason is that it would involve discussing some rather graphic details, so I will refrain from doing so.”
Probably the label fucking them over by not giving them any royalties or something.

Oh wow
For those interested, Book-offs in Tokyo usually have a good amount of Shiva CDs laying around.
I didn’t buy any myself, but the only reason why I know this band’s name is because of the amount of times I ran into their CDs at different Book-Off locations
It would be kinda funny if that’s really the case. I really like them, but there’s not a single song with more than 10k plays and I don’t think they’re a top seller on apple or anything, dudes are fighting for scraps

Just picked up their Best Of album on OTOTOY, might snag a few other releases before I have regrets.

Ay that’s fair. I’m glad they least announced it before hand. Most bands don’t even do that there just like, nah this is gone now
