Oh, happy days. GARUDA has an MV. For those that don’t know I have been a fan of GARUDA for quite some time. She is one of the more famous chika idols in the underground scene, not quite as known as Hanakosan but getting there. Let’s have a look at this MV.

Kotetsu Will Transfer From 幽世テロルArchitect to ゆくえしれずつれづれ
It was announced at the [幽世テロルArchitect] Kaqriyo Terror Architect one-man tour final that Kotetsu will transfer to ゆくえしれずつれづれ [Yukueshirezutsurezure] next month. This tweet was issued.
More details were posted on the ゆくえしれずつれづれ official website: Transfer announcement. I am sure this will shake up the fans a bit and I am sure it is not the last change to be announced. Her last show with 幽世テロルArchitectwill be on December 3rd at 渋谷GARRET and her debut will be on December 7th at 川崎CLUB CITTA.
Let the comparisons to WACK begin.

Candye♡Syrup Announce New Lineup
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this announcement. Some thought that it might not even happen for various reasons, but it did. Now I don’t have some long winded editorial on this so I guess we should just see who these new members are.
NECRONOMIDOL – Graduations Announced
Well, I knew this day would come but I didn’t think it would be this soon. NECRONOMIDOL has announced a couple of graduations. These will probably be tough for some of you to take. Just remember, this happens in idol all the time.
BABYMETAL – YUIMETAL Departs And A Bit More

Important Announcement from BABYMETAL
Posted : 2018.10.19
Thank you for continually supporting BABYMETAL. We would like to inform you of BABYMETAL’s new beginning which will be effective starting this month’s BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2018 in JAPAN performances.
YUIMETAL had expressed her desire to return performing with the group in the following months after last December’s performance due health concerns. During her absence, both SU-METAL and MOAMETAL as well as the entire staff team had been preparing for her awaited return. However, YUIMETAL came to a decision that she will not be performing at BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2018 in JAPAN and that she will no longer be a part of BABYMETAL. We thank her for all of her contributions and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
This month’s BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2018 in JAPAN will mark the rebirth in which SU-METAL and MOAMETAL form the core of BABYMETAL.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the fans for the continued support and look forward in what’s next for BABYMETAL.
Message to fans
There was also a message from YUIMETAL
しばらく欠席が続き、沢山の方にご迷惑をおかけして本当に申し訳ありませんでした。
何度も考え直したのですが、私はこの度BABYMETALを辞めさせていただくことになりました。この決断でメンバーやBABYMETALを支えてくださっている方々にご迷惑をかけてしまうこと、申し訳なく思っております。そして、BABYMETALを応援してくださっているファンの皆様、悲しませてしまって本当にごめんなさい。
もう１度ステージに立ちたいという強い思いもありましたが今も体調が万全ではないこと、そして以前からの私の夢、水野由結としての夢に向かって進みたいという気持ちもあり、今回このような決断をいたしました。BABYMETALとして、貴重な経験を沢山させていただき感謝しています。
私は恵まれているなと感じる日々でした。みんなで笑ってひとつになれたライブ、楽しくて幸せな時間でした。
またいつか水野由結として皆様にお会いできるように努力し邁進します。
８年間本当にありがとうございました。水野 由結
(translation by CompactDeLorean47 on the BABYMETAL sub-reddit)
To all the fans,
My continued absence has been a while, and I’m sorry for causing trouble for many people. Though I’ve reconsidered many times over, I have come to the decision that I am resigning from Babymetal at this time.
I’m truly sorry that my decision will cause trouble for the members and all of those who’ve been supporting Babymetal. Also, I’m sorry for causing sadness for all the fans who’ve been supporting Babymetal. Although I also had the strong desire to stand on stage once again, my physical condition is not perfect even now. I also have the feeling to want to go towards my dream that I have had from before, as Mizuno Yui, which is why I made a decision like this.
I am grateful about receiving precious experiences as Babymetal.
I felt blessed everyday. It was a fun and happy time with the live shows where everyone smiled and became one.
I will work hard with great effort to be able to meet with everyone again someday as Mizuno Yui.
I truly thank you for the past 8 years.
– Mizuno Yui.
In other news, BABYMETAL did release and MV for the song Starlight earlier. Maybe that will take some of the sting out of it.

That Is New To Me: Dim Black
It is always exciting to see new groups forming, you are always trying to figure out what they are going to turn out like. This new group is no exception. Lets have a quick peek at Dim Black.
Impression: NECRONOMIDOL – VOIDHYMN
Praise to the Great Old Ones for bestowing upon a mere mortal this chance to let the dulcet tones of the great NECRONOMIDOL grace my eardrums. Let me have the strength to finish this impression before the shadowed hordes of the deep come for me.
NECRONOMIDOL – STRANGE AEONS (MV)
This came out earlier this morning but I have found that it is OK to wait for great things. I know some of you might have wanted an MV for one of the new songs, but this song is so great and the video is really, really well shot. It even has a story and maybe if you really pay attention you can find some hidden stuff in there. Here you go.
Now that you have watched that I bet you want more. Order the new release here:
