Came in expecting nothing, came out interested. If there are former members of notable previous bands it should be included in the thread title. ---

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 ! ---

(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. ---

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. ---

Quite good, I haven’t kept up with this guy since Raphael so can’t say how this compares to previous projects ---

He sounds much better. I don’t want him to push himself too hard after the cancer, but things are going very well. I hope for future physical releases. ---

They have enough material to release an album if they want! I’m so happy Yuki is releasing new music. The only negative thing is her look with that fake fringe; it looks awful, hahaha.
