If you saw the UNITED LINK for JAPAN VOL:2 post, you may have noticed that I wrote “NEGA”—this is how it was written in the official lineup provided by KISAKI.
For some time now (since Haunted Jealousy, to be exact), I've suspected that the band would switch to a Western-character spelling of their name, and it now seems that I may be right. So, I can't say for sure until the band officially revives, but, for now, signs point to them officially changing their name to NEGA.
-- Also, there's something up with that new band, Vior gloire, but I'm not exactly sure what.
When I discovered Vior gloire yesterday, I remembered the ex-(31)/brodiaea/ex-GRiST band, Vior, which was to open for an upcoming UCP show. One of you then found that Vior gloire had a different lineup listed, but because we recognized the ex-(31)/brodiaea/ex-GRiST guys, we figured that they'd all just changed their names for the new band.
However! When UNITED LINK for JAPAN VOL:2 was announced today, the appearing band was listed as just Vior again. Now, does this mean that I think that Vior and Vior gloire are two different bands, or that the members aren't who we thought they were? No. But I do think that UNDER CODE is making a distinction for some reason.
Honestly, it's probably as simple as not wanting to give anything away yet (remember, Vior gloire hasn't officially been announced—we just figured it out because we're grade A snoops!). But just for the sake of history and complete transparency, I wanted to emphasize that, technically, Vior ≠ Vior gloire.
(I'm ok with you thinking I'm crazy for caring about this stuff~)

I prefer the name in japanese too because of my scrobbles on last.fm xD
Perhaps, Vior is the session band and Vior gloire the "true" band...

Hm.. quite confusing about the vior name..
Btw the bassist didn't upload a picture yet so, I really can't tell anything. But so far no ex bands are known and I'd die if it was ex D rena. Because I loved him.
Still very unlikely.
