[Archived] HEISEI ISHIN update

Author

As you know, 平成維新 (HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新)) disbanded shortly after the death of vocalist 拓 (Taku) in December of last year (you can read the whole chronicle here). However, in the past few months, there have been a few developments with the ex-members of the band, which I thought I'd update you all on.

  • Shortly after Japan's major earthquake in March, YUKKIE, JILL, Yoshi, and RAI decided to help the victims by holding a charity performance. Thus, on 2011-05-08, a four-membered HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新) held a charity event called RESTART at HOLIDAY OSAKA. Anjyu' and the solo project of Ryuuto (ex-ClearVeil) also appeared.

Through ticket and goods sales, the event collected 260,207 yen (~$3,500 USD) which was given to Red Cross Japan.

  • In July, YUKKIE and RAI appeared at Paradox Bar's 8th anniversary event at HOLIDAY OSAKA.

  • Last month, on August 27th, YUKKIE, Yoshi, and RAI, along with JUKI (vocalist of Aigis, ex-vocalist of Anjyu') took part in a session band at HOLIDAY OSAKA. Here's their setlist:

  1. KIRARISM (Anjyu')

  2. Microburst (HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新))

  3. Yumehanabi (Anjyu')

  4. Prism. (HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新))

  5. Kanka (HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新))

  6. Ruru-Ruru- (HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新))

During the MC, YUKKIE and RAI announced that they would be moving to Tokyo together in September (until then having lived in Osaka).

  • Through his blog, RAI explained that he and YUKKIE decided to move to Tokyo to restart musical activities. He revealed that, together, they've decided to start a new band. However, as both of them are so defined by HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新), they've decided that the new band will be HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新).

HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新)'s second chapter.---

Yoshi is currently working at a bar and JILL, more or less, seems to have retired from music, so they won't be a part of the new band. In fact, it's not so much that HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新) is reviving, but rather, a new band called HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新) is forming. (Think of it like CODOMO A and Kibou-YA©.)

I should also point out that this second chapter of HEISEI ISHIN (平成維新) is not an UNDER CODE PRODUCTION band, but I'll continue posting developments until there's no reason to any longer.

What? Did I say that? I meant to say Ryuuto was ex-ClearVeil. Embarrassing!

Anjyu' was the former band of Yukkie and Yoshi not ryuuto's new band. also jill announced he was leaving the music industry on his blog back in December or January. I'm super sad Yoshi won't be joining them tho.

Oh, I didn't realize it was due to family stuff. That's sad :(

Ah no, that was just me being lazy! I guess that is kinda confusing huh...

Tenka retired due to family issues. It looks like someone from his family has been hurt by the earthaquake, or something like that.

Also, did they change their tag from 平成維新 to HEISEI ISHIN ? I mean, romaji, not kanji ?

I was so damn happy when I read it in Rai's blog for the first time. He couldn't talk about anything else but making a new band with Yukkie, haha. They really worked hard until now, even moved to Tokyo together this week, just can't wait for HEISEI ISHIN chapter 2 to officially start. I'll totally support them ! ♥

Huh. An unexpected turn of event. I'll be curious to follow this new HEISEI ISHIN.

Ah, I see. Well that's sad :( At least JUKI wants to continue. I wonder about Tenka's health, he seems to be getting sick quite a bit lately. Or maybe I'm just being weird and freaking out over nothing haha

Let's see... If I recall correctly, the drummer left only a short time after the Aigis formed, but the band released its first single as a four-member unit. Some time after that, two other guys left, leaving just JUKI (vocalist) and Tenka (guitarist).

Just recently, Tenka announced that he's retiring from music for some reason. A day or two after that, JUKI made a post that seemed, to me, to suggest that he doesn't want to disband.

So, at the moment, I guess Aigis is still “active”—just as a one-member band that won't really do anything.
