BORN Black Theory

RAZOR is going to be one of the featured bands on the next Nico Viju show. The show airs on the Nico Nico website on February 21st at 16:00 JST. You can time shift if you can't watch it live. The gate is here.

There are three new live videos on the PS Company YouTube channel that feature K's new solo work. The songs are "Screaming for~," "Rebirth," and "Lily".

RAZOR just announced that they'll be releasing their first single on February 22. They're calling it "DNA," and it's coming out in two types. Details are already available on their website, and CD Japan has it listed for pre-order.

Congratulations go out to RAZOR for having their debut album secure a place on the latest Oricon Style music ranking chart. RAZOR is currently sitting at #4 on the Indie Album chart for their debut release titled "RED INVISIBLE."

RAZOR, Ryoga's new band, has finally updated their website with information, visuals, and a video trailer for their upcoming album. RAZOR's sound is different from BORN's for sure, but I like it very much. It has all the best of Ryoga's growling vocals with the hard rock sound I loved from My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND. It's the best of both for me, so I really wish them well with this new band. I hope you all like it as well.

Ryoga joined a new band called RAZOR. It made its debut on October 16 at Zepp Tokyo, and it includes ex-members of several well-known bands. Members include Ryoga on vocals, Tsurugi (Sadie) and Kouryu (ex-My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND) on guitars, IZA (ex-Downer) on bass, and Tetsuya (ex-My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND) on drums. They have also announced that they will release their first mini album, "RED INVISIBLE," on November 30. The band also will hold its first oneman live on November 30.

BORN added a DVD teaser trailer to their YouTube channel for the new "BORN LAST ONEMAN LIVE 'SUPER BLACK MARKET'" DVD release. This one features the performance from their last oneman live at Zepp DiverCity on May 26.

In one final hurrah, PS Company is making BORN's "8th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL ONEMAN LIVE【SUPER BLACK MARKET】Zepp DiverCity" available in DVD format. The DVD is currently listed on the PS Company's online shop for reservations, but the official release date isn't until August 22, 2016. You can find it here => http://psshop.jp/products/detail.p…

When BORN first announced that they would be disbanding, the future of this community was left somewhat up in the air. No band, no activities, nothing to post... that sort of thing. However, now that K has decided to start a solo career, this community will continue. You can continue to follow developments in his career here, and if any other band members turn up in other projects, we will post about them here as well. For now, we will still be BORN Black Theory.

Added note:
I don't want to change too much about the group right now, at least not until we see what the other members do after they disband. K is the first to announce his intentions, but I'm curious to see what Ryoga and Tomo do. Ray has already announced his intention to quit the music business, but I'm curious to see if that's really his final word on the matter.

If you were missing BORN, take heart: K announced that he's sticking with PS Company and starting a solo career. They've uploaded a new teaser trailer featuring K doing a photo shoot and singing some original music. His first live will take place on August 19th, where he'll be selling a debut live-venue limited CD. He's even got his own PSC webpage now.
