When I first watched the Sakura PV, I thought the girl in the PV looked a lot like Ayumi Hamasaki, hehe. XD

My favourite Ketsumeishi songs are: Sakura, Tabiudo, and Kimi ni BUMP. ^^

There's nothing new with Ketsumeishi as a group, but there is new stuff going on with individual members / side projects.

DJ Kohno's producing some sort of compilation album, that's going to be released next month.

I'll post again with the details once I can somehow find it, and translate it into English. ^^

^ I don't think there's any new info on Ketsumeishi as of lately.

I do hope they comeback with a new release, it feels like it's been such a long time since they've released anything.

And I need to re-design the first post, as it looks really barebones, hmm... I'll edit it, and put in some more info, like discography, links, etc.

And some of the youtube videos don't work, so I'll need to find other links to replace those.


~EDIT~ : First post has been re-designed! Plus I have edited some posts in this thread, and changed some youtube links, so they should work now!
