And for Dacco's Baby:

(Nice Photoshop job, guys.)

I keep getting different release dates for these two albums. Visunavi has Baby listed at February 22nd and HERE WE GO! at March 8th. SYNECTICS still has the original dates of March 1st (Baby) and March 15 (HERE WE GO!). On GuruGuru: Baby - March 1st, HERE WE GO! - March 29th.

Basically, I have no idea when any of these things are going to be released.

....

Also, seek's Fish Dance Hour will be on tonight in Japan at 10pm. Special guests will be AYA & Shou from ISABELLE. (Maybe this time we'll get to hear some new songs off the album.) I'll be recording it and blah blah blah... you guys know the drill.

You can see ISABELLE, new and improved with their 6th member Kouji*, on their Visunavi page here:

There is also an animated banner on Visunavi's front page advertising Dacco & ISABELLE's upcoming albums:
http://www.visunavi.com/index_pc.html (at the top of the page) It looks like those previously listed "early release" dates are the actual release dates now.


*more info here in case you missed it.

Their first full-length albums!

Early Release: March 1, 2006
Dacco - ベビー (Baby... (I think))
3,000 yen

Early Release: March 15, 2006
ISABELLE - HERE WE GO!
2,500 yen

These dates are listed as "early release" dates (びじゅなび先行発売日 on Visunavi), but I'm not really sure what that entails. General release dates will probably be announced soon.

Interesting thing (at least to me), it looks like they're back with their original indies label Plug Records for these releases. I'm not too clear on how the music industry works, but the albums are labeled SYN-005 and SYN-006 (SYNECTICS) and distribution is by a company called QQS DISTRIBUTION. If you check out the Plug Records site you'll notice that it hasn't been updated since 2002, so maybe they've resurrected it for their use?

According to TRAP ZONE, ISABELLE has added a new member to their line-up. It's ex-SCISSOR member MIKI, now going by Kouji, as their new vocalist alongside Shou.

I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Year's!

You can see the members "modeling" their new Magical Band shirts. YURA-sama's yellow shirt clashes oddly with his hair, in my opinion... but it's a crack up seeing AYA in neon pink again.

At JHouseRock (a spin-off/division of JPopHouse/House of Anime), John (you may know him as Harry's brother) got an interview with seek in early October. You'll have to create a login to see the picture of him and seek there, but here's the interview in the meantime:
