J-Metal band with a J-Pop vocalist
I discovered a band on Spotify a while ago and it was 2 famous artists that came together to create a rock/metal group. They only did one album before breaking up, I think around 2014-ish. There was a male vocalist and a female vocalist, and I remember the female vocalist was a prominent J-Pop artist. Like MEG prominent. I was trying to find it again but research on MEG didn’t bring anything up. The song I recall she was singing in pretty decent English but I can’t say all the songs were in English. I can no longer find it in my liked songs! :(

Japanese punk playlist
I made this playlist for a friend who's very into punk rock and I wanted to introduce him to some of what I consider the greatest artists and songs of that genre in Japan (some of them may not be strictly punk, but are related in some way). Do you think I missed any other bands/songs worthy of mention?

Was this ever released as a CD [Masterpiece, Yamanaka Takuto]?
I don’t have a record player, but this is one of my all time favorites, so I really want to buy a CD if it exists.

selling tickets for THE LAST ROCKSTARS 8/29/24
I'm selling at face value OBO (or best offer) 🖤 I had a scheduling conflict with a different artist touring on the same day but I'm Berkeley and I made the decision to see him instead. Two of the tickets are row G which is really close to the pit, and two are AA which are further back in that section. I can't post pictures on here but I can send them to you anytime!
Please hmu! I'd much rather the tickets go to someone who will enjoy them than go to waste.
