Art Cube fans

Hi guys!
I was doing some spring cleaning and came across this single which I bought while I was in Japan last year...

Kasoukyoku

It was a 300-limited CD sold at a oneman live. I'm asking 2000 yen, since that's what I paid for it...

People in this comm get first dibs because I figure there might be collectors around.

Please check my sales journal for more information (as well as other stuff I'm selling).

So, they're finally releasing another mini album. yay
鏡の涙 (kagami no namida? please correct me if i'm wrong) will be released at 2012.03.17, apparently featuring seven songs, five new plus "kasoukyoku" and "akatsuki no mai" at the cost of Y2,415. 

Every 2. and 4. Saturday (or Friday Night) at 24:30 on 西東京 FM.

Anyone listens to or maybe is even recording this show?
Right now the first show is airing, and I missed the first 10 minutes >_<
Z様 was talking about his parents ... And I failed to record it T_T

ps: somehow it became really silent in here^^"

You can now listen to samples from the regular edition of "akatsuki no mai" at their release page.

From what we can listen I can say "akatsuki no mai" are not my kind of song but it seems to be a very catchy one, its on my head since I listened to it this morning xD

here.

A new flyer was given out a last night's live at Shimokitazawa club251 with some additional information on Art Cube's upcoming single, "akatsuki no mai".

The single will be released in two versions. The regular version will, as previously announced, contain the title track and "Test Tube Skeleton", and will go on sale from October 19th for 1,050 yen.
There will also be a live-only version, sold at the band's goods table from October 8th. This version will cost 1,500 yen, and contain a third track; 失楽蝶 (shitsturakuchou) - acoustic guitar arrange.


I haven't seen any pictures of the cover art online yet, so I took a quick photo of the flyer:



Left: live only version. Right: regular version.


The band will also be doing several instore events for this release:
10/25 -  SKULL ROSE (Fukuoka)
11/4 - Like an Edison (Nagoya)
11/6 - Pure Sound (Osaka)
12/3 - Jishuban Club & Brand X (Tokyo)

More details to be announced later.

Seeing as Z had started writing about the fanclub in his blog, but there was still no clear statement whether it was limited to Japan or not, I asked him about it directly, and in response he posted this entry.

He clearifies that it is indeed possible for people overseas to join the fanclub as well, but reminds us that the service will be completely in Japanese.

However, if they will be selling things like limited goods, maybe joining will still be of interest to some of you. If more info is given on membership privileges, I will keep you updated.

Art Cube did their tour final together with VII-Sense yesterday, and had some important announcements to make. One being the launch of the official Art Cube fanclub! It's called 「ZEALOT」 and membership application is possible at this website: http://zealot-ac-fc.jp/jizen/postmail.html　

They were also doing pre-registration at yesterday's live, so I handed in my application there. Apparently they will send out an email on September 1st to complete registration, so more information may be available then. It doesn't say anything about it being limited to Japan. It's only stated that the service will be in Japanese and that they only accept Japanese yen as payment. (There was a note in English about this on the application form). However, payment will be via bank deposit, and I'm not sure if you can transfer money from a foreign bank. I can ask their staff about this, but there are still some weeks until the next live, so you might want to try contacting Dual Core before then if you live overseas and are interested in joining.

They still haven't said much about member privileges, though there will be a special privilege for those who join early, and Z mentioned that there will be things like fanclub limited goods.
