M10M announcement: Kazuno and Tohru leave

[flowersofnight]

Oh my... O_O
Again we have some FC-only news that is just too shattering to keep secret.
In the new Madousho it was announced that Kazuno and Tohru have left M10M. Kazuno plans to make his own music.

The new vocalist's name was also announced - it's Seth. A pic was posted... but that's FC-only

Anyway I'm not sure what to think of this - no original members left besides Mana, so it'll essentially be a whole new band now. And I guess they have no full-time bassist or drummer now? :?

EDIT: Kazuno and Tohru will be playing in a session band with Heath (ex-X Japan) next month:

Big changes...BIG changes...
*sigh* It's good that Kazu plans to keep being active at least...

 

[Saklaner]

LOL

i was going to post this in about 2 minutes... you won =P

Maybe Mana will look for a drummer and a bassist after the concert to M†A members...

I hope Mana knows what he's doing...

 

[shinzo]

GOD DAMN IT!"!!!

:'(

Im shocked.. really shocked, so shcoked i dont know what to say but man, ium gonna reall miss Tohru and Kazuno.. tbh i should of expected it when Mana gave K so much hype

 

[Katurine]

I'm sure he is,he's an intelligent person.It was Kazu's and Tohru's decission to leave.Mana's demanding,maybe they just can't stand his demands anymore.

 

[Monophobia]

This...just sucks XD I really liked Kazuno. He was my favorite in the band besides Mana. Ah well, good to know he'll be doing something musically afterward.

Hmm. I'm not too worried though, I'm rather excited to see the new changes.

 

[MMike]

I liked Kazuno and Tohru a lot but for some reason I am not so sad about this. Instead I am looking forward to an all new Moi dix Mois.

And Seth looks totally cool

Mana's demanding,maybe they just can't stand his demands anymore.

Must we hear this every time someone leaves?
I doubt they'd suddenly decide Mana is too demanding after three years on the job. They probably just didn't like Mana's new direction for the band, or really just wanted to go do their own things.

 

[MMike]

I think that people join Mana when they're young and unexperiensed. And after a few years they feel more mature and want to try their own thing.

 

[Priss]

Let's please not start that Mana is impossible to work with rumor again. That's tired. -_-

Anywho, I may be the only one, but I'm excited! This makes me even more excited.

Priss

D: is what I have to say to this.

it'll be fun to see if this leads to a "huge" change in some way..

 

[navate]

I'm excited yet sad. :\ On one hand, I've always known the project members would probably come and go, much like GacktJOB. But it's still really sad; I loved Kazuno and Tohru and I was reallt atached to them. After losing Juka it's hard to grapple with losing them, too.

But at least Mana has found a new vocalist and he has support memebers for concerts, so hopefully he'll have an official drummer and bassist soon. I'm very excited to hear Seth sing.... he's definately a change from Juka, image wise. Much more intense looking.

For those who can't see the (really, really tiny) Madousho picture on the Mon+Amour site, I'll try to describe the new image to you because it's pretty badass. Mana is in his blue coat, in the center. K and Seth are behind him and have got red accents...It looks like K grew in the part of his head that was shaved and dyed it red but left the mohawk part black. Seth has got something over his face and has kind of "dix" styled hair (not as poofy as Mana's), black with red streaks. Boith of them are dressed in black, fully covered (K's arm's aren't showing anymore.) It looks like they have some pretty badass coats on but it's hard to tell. Hopefully we'll get an official picture soon.

I'm curious if Kazuno and Tohru play on the new album or not... I assume it's already recorded? Anyone have any idea about that, whether they stayed long enough to record or not?

Judging by the fact that Kazuno hasn't actually been in a Madousho for a million years... probably not. Explains a lot, in retrospect.

................ I haven't words. I can't believe it. I loved Kazuno... Well I still do...

Damn...

Ick, you're right... I just looked and since July it's just been Mana going on about the twilight zone and sea monkeys. :[ I wonder if he kept the news from us until he could announce the new album/vocalist to keep us from getting totally depressed. :? At least hearing it now, right next to be introduced to Seth, the blow is softened a bit.

 

[Katurine]

Seth has got something over his face

Somehow reminds me of Kyo in Obscure...

 

[Moizer]

Anyone realize the words by album on the site say not only

"New Vocalist"

but it says

"New members"

too.

also, they announced the live date, 11th march, at Shibuya Liquidroom....this confuce me because Liquidroom was in Shinjuku...has it moved? or there are more of them? or it's the one called Liquidroom ebisu.

this show allows just to bring 1 non member...per fanclub member...so basically it's all fanclub event.

Well it says "A new album that includes our latest member" so I think it was assumed that it was only the vocalist being mentioned from the lack of plural. But, perhaps it was a typo and there should be an 's'..or perhaps it's mentioned somewhere else on the page and I'm not seeing it..

 

[faith]

I hate to say this, really, but....i told you so back in June

...honestly though...I wonder if this is going to be okay, in retrospect. When Malice broke up they had a lot more fans, and fans were a lot closer to the individual members it seems. This time just wasn't the same. Like, people liked the members, but you didn't get Juka/Tohru/Kazuno fansites like you did with Kozi and Yu~ki, etc. Whatever fans carry over, it's not going to be for the new members; it going to rest solely on Mana's popularity. Plus we know what kind of music to expect. I wonder what reprocussions this is going to have...

Also, it's good Kazuno's decided to make music, but Juka isn't now, so I'm worried. Sorry for yet another silly post. It's like M10M is turning into Velvet Eden :?
