[VRF × MJP] V-ROCK FESTIVAL '09 Fashion Show Report

'V-ROCK FESTIVAL '09' was held on October 24th and 25th at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 9-11. During the world's biggest live event [department store] Laforet Harajuku and [fashion magazine] KERA jointly held a fashion show called 'Laforet×KERA V-ROCK Collection'. In two days about 12,000 fashion and music fans enjoyed the show that took place on the S-STAGE. Although the atmosphere surrounding the stage was markedly different from the others, the fans were all equally excited. For the fashion show, artists leading the visual-kei industry lent a helping hand as well. Each artist became a model for each participating fashion brand. Fans of the musicians were treated to a rare spectacle.

Hidden away in the Hakone mountain area west of Tokyo, several leading scientist conducted secret experiments which combined mostly domestic animal and human DNA together to see if the evolutionary gene could mutate between the species and to advance stem cell research.
Their experiments didn’t last however, as a mixture of activists and queries into the moral issues these inhumane scientific studies ignited, forced the government to cease funding the research, which inevitably led to the laboratory shutting down. During the dismissals of the scientists the highly unstable chemical then transferred into the lake which contaminated the water supply with this DNA compound. This didn’t show signs of effect to the surrounding towns till several months later a woman gave birth to a girl with a full length canine tail with matching ears.
This was just the beginning of a new breed of human. As the years progressed many children began to be born with features of household animals, some more obvious than others and as the epidemic spread occasionally more exotic animal attributes would arise in the new born.

The year now is 2047, more information has come about about it was clear that the gene was dormant in some born from the chimera (a mixture of two or more species in one body) and this was fortunate for those few, as there was a growing increase in social rejection and discrimination towards the chimeras.
Now the only way for them to survive is by living in secret and hiding their true identity, otherwise the chimera’s are captured by a large underground network of hunters where they are bought and sold for entertainment purposes, or made to work in backroom clubs that catered for the members of human society that wished to indulge themselves in the company of the hybrids.

[Seasonal Survey] Autumn of ＸＸ Q&A feat. Alice Nine

Every time the band appears in our Seasonal Survey of the Stars, they give us amazing remarks and illustrations.
You'll surely be surprised at their artistic quality this time as well (laugh).
What Nao drew is a popular Japanese character! And what did Hiroto draw...?

[Seasonal Survey] Autumn of ＸＸ Q&A feat. Kagrra,

In autumn when you can fully enjoy Japan, the BGM would definitely be Kagrra,!
This time our guest at SSS is Kagrra, who has a "Japanese" style as their characteristics.
They had answers that show good points of Japan...or not? (laugh)

And don't miss their unique illustrations!

 

Heya, I hope it's ok to post this here, but please delete if it's not!

I just wanted to let the members of this community know that I will be playing a J rock set at the Face Bar in Reading this Friday (23rd Oct 09), so please feel free to come down if you fancy it! There isn't enough J rock played in UK clubs, and if this proves popular it may become a regular thing, so it'd be great to see some Jrock lovers there =D

If you require any details just pm me!

Thanks =)
