 Recently guitarist, Kaoru (Of popular Japanese Visual Kei band Dir en grey) admitted that he has lost some degree of feeling in his right hand. In a recent Kotaku interview he stated that since 2014 he has had several problems while performing notably dropping his guitar pick frequently and experiencing general discomfort and lack of feeling in his right hand. More alarming was the fact that it steadily got worst as time went on. Within the interview he also states that he has seen multiple doctors on different occasions and that the apparent cause is from loose ligaments connecting joints which in turn is causing the paralysis. The doctors' diagnosis was that this was something that would heal on its own in time though Kaoru has stated though that the symptoms have not changed. North America fans of Kaoru and Dir en grey who have heard of this are understandably worried as Dir en grey is currently actively touring with a show in Los Angeles in less than two weeks. While there has been no real talk of cancelled shows, appearances or events it is natural to assume that something of that sort might be on the horizon given the severity of the situation. While the possibility of cancellation is low, fans must wonder if this will in any way affect their on-stage presence or performance. The fact that Kaoru has hid this for a year might help to alleviate the fears of affected performances as they have not showed any signs of slowing down recently. Besides concerts, Kaoru is scheduled hold an event at Shibuya's Tower Records for his upcoming book "Dokugen". We will update on this situation if any news reaches us.

Til next time. - Hikaru Source Article On Oct. 12, 2015 steadily-rising Japanese Visual-kei rock band MEJIBRAY released their new MV and it's a sight to see! Starting the MV is the lead singer, Tsuzuku, walking down a hallway smoking a pipe along with two men with bags on their heads knocking on a door. Now this sounds like it is straight out of a horror movie but I promise this MV isn't as creepy as it sounds. As the song starts Tsuzuku gives his creepy smile that everybody loves to see. The video continues and we see the rest of the band wearing some new clothes!
Tsuzuku, the Vocalist. Going with the usual black attire with very big hair, he is wearing a fur jacket and some new makeup. Mia, the Guitarist, is wearing clothing that reminds one of a prince-like character. He's also sporting a jeweled crown with a very stylish studded jacket. This guitarist yet again blows people away with his looks at every chance. Koichi, the Bass player, is wearing what resembles a jumpsuit. Putting on a regular black eye patch along with some stunning shoes this pink haired bass player makes all the fans go nuts! I originally did think he was wearing pajamas when I first saw the MV. Who can forget the well-loved drummer METO! Meto amazes people with not only his antics but also in his cute and hardcore crazy styles. He wears a mask over his mouth with a tongue sticking out with, guess what, the number 3 on it. Wearing bondage bands with variations of both spikes and chains his tattoos make it quite a sight to see. His bear, Luana/Ruana, imitating his mask puts them both at the top of the fashion spectrum.  As the MV ends we see Tsuzuku standing by a pool and laughing hard. Then the rest of the band members come and push him into the pool.
