① KISAKI has made an important announcement to all fans. As you know, on 2009-12-31, Phantasmagoria began an activity revival. However, this revival was never to be permanent. Therefore, Phantasmagoria's limited revival will end on 2010-04-05.
However! After much deliberation, KISAKI has decided on his future. KISAKI is officially coming out of retirement, and, later this year, KISAKI will form a new band and continue activities. He knows that many people will disagree, but asks that true fans come with him.
Read KISAKI'S announcement here.
Quite a surprise... I expected the big announcement to be a full Phantasmagoria revival. Guess not.
② Phantasmagoria's online event is still going on! The guys just came back and started tweeting again. I'm keeping track of important events at my previous post here. Also, a bunch of us are chatting about the event. Feel free to join your fellow http://under_code" .livejournal.com friends at the online event chat!
- Current music: Phantasmagoria 「幻想曲 -Eternal Silence-」
- Current mood: happy

Same here. I'll support it most probaly. I'm even curious about it! But like you said, he just didn't play his cards well at all. Can't blame people for reacting this way.

Yeah, I agree! It's like... If you really like Phantasmagoria so much, why not just reform officially? Make it your longest lasting band?
But instead he is making a new band that will just break up in two or three years.
As long as the music's good, I'll support him anyway. It just kind of sucks that he does it like this.

The only thing that I'm wondering is... How long will this "new band" last?
I think it's kind of "sad" in a way too... It removes a little "something" from Phantasmagoria by creating this new band =\

I kind of hope not! Just because I feel like, if Riku's there, it should be Phantasmagoria and nothing else. Seeing what he did with chariots made me doubt his abilities outside of the Phantasmagoria framework.

I bet they're all just bored after saying "we're retiring ^__^" but like a month later it's like "DDDDDD: I'M RETIRED HALP I'M BORED TOO"
so Kisaki plays Mago every so often and gets fans like me all pissy, and Yosheekz books shows and cancels just for the lulz.
this would be good macroing material.

it seems like a musician-mid-life crisis
That sent me into a giggle fit. XD
It really does, though... I think they need a hobby outside of the music industry to keep them from going batshit insane. lol

I really hope he NEVER gets to that point. D: EVER.
it seems like a musician-mid-life crisis, doesn't it~. o3o
[edit: and worse yet, they're all different in how they take form and are carried out, but no matter what, there's always a group of fans who are up in arms over it. /headtable]

KISAKI may be a cock-tease (and I agree with you completely), but at least he delivers. YOSHIKI's more into cancelling concerts and forming super bands that never even release a song.

Ever since Mago first disbanded, Kisaki's been all "We're coming back! Just kidding! Here we are again! Nope, not really!" In all honesty, I'm sick and tired of being given false hope about them getting back together for good. :\ If you're going to get back together just to release a few songs that you never got a chance to finish, then don't call it a "revival". Just finish the songs and put it out on market simply as songs that were never released during the band's time together. There's no need to get fans' hopes up like this only to tear them back down.
I love Kisaki as a bassist, but he's lost quite a bit of the respect I used to have for him as a person. :\
Of course, I'll continue to support all of the members of Phantasmagoria in whatever they do from here on out, because I love them and their music too much to not do so...

I'll give KISAKI credit for persistence. He's earned at least that much.
I smell Riku as his band's vocalist...

I really hate to be a killjoy, but I wish he'd stop being a cocktease with Phantasmagoria.
He reminds me of Yoshiki now. :|
