New band “Solid Statement Soul” has formed. They will hold their first live at 2026/07/11.
“Solid Statement Soul” members:
Vocal: YUKI (ex.Raphael, rice)
Guitar: RENO (ViViD)
Bass: RENA (ex.Vior gloire, CRAZY PUNK KID, TYOSiN )
Drums: KAZAMI (ex.Clavier, DaizyStripper)
Came in expecting nothing, came out interested.
If there are former members of notable previous bands it should be included in the thread title.
Oooh, very curious about it!
Interesting line up indeed
Damn when the picture popped on my Twitter from Rena’s ( who’s mostly known for his time in The Black Swan tbh ) account I didn’t recognize Yuki lol but the lineup is actual fire !
SSStylish!!!
They’ve been performing together for a while now; in this video, all four of them are playing a few songs by Raphael and Rice. (Thanks a lot, Sephitomy!). I think Yuki was still struggling with his voice. I’m curious to see how this turns out; I really like Reno as a guitarist.
Hah, I was certain that wasn’t actually new and I’ve seen even the SSS around before, I just didn’t remember when. Came across it through Kazami and it felt familiar (and I wonder how he’s gonna juggle this as well with all the different activities he’s doing, even with DaizyStripper on their “long summer break”).
Thanks for linking the vid.
Seems like it’s the three of them? Yuki is seen handling bass duties here. Looks like they are having a “re-debut” with the Vior Gloire guy.
Check out the end of the live stream, you can see all 4 members there!
Exciting news! I will always follow Yuki. Raphael and Rice has so many top class 10/10 songs. Criminally underrated!
7-string bass, saxophone, and piano - my man Yuki rocks. Never liked any of his material, but man, gotta respect the hustle.
