VII-Sense

[spoonybard]

For anybody who has been listening to the 2010 First Quarter piece on Cure(Cure Media USA 24/7 Pure J-ROCK, schedule for this piece is at 2010 First Quarter VK Releases Cranked on Cure Radio - Cure Media U.S's MySpace Blog |), you may have heard a band called VII-Sense(their song BLACK BIRD gets played after Frantic EMIRY's WORLD END). The band used to go by the name of Seventh Sense, then changed it to S-S, but Shaura changed it back to Seventh Sense, the only real difference being that it's spelled VII-Sense.

They released their first single BLACK BIRD, which includes the title track as well as the song "divine dot" this past March.

There are some people here that you may recognize, such as the vocalist, Shaura, who is also known as Juka, former vocalist of XOVER, and vocalist of HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT. For a time, he was the vocalist of Moi dix Mois. One of the guitarists is actually erina, formerly of Dio~distraught overlord~, and the drummer Mikage also plays drums in HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT . Here is a list consisting of who they are and the bands they were part of:

Vocals- Shaura: Moi dix Mois, HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT, solo, XOVER, going by the name of Juka

Guitar- erina: luciel, sari(going by the name of 依璃奈), SCHELLEN, CHELSEA, dio

Two photo sets have been added, they cost 1000 each, and they also have copies of RISK NOTE in which they appear on the cover. The ones they are selling will be signed by them, they cost 850. Shipping is 500. If you are interested in any of these things, e-mail your information(address and what it is you want) to [email protected]. They haven't said what forms of payment they accept, so I am assuming they will tell you once they get the e-mail, but I'm not sure. You can see the photo sets here:

[spoonybard]

VII-Sense has uploaded 47 seconds of a song that has no title to their Ⅶ-Sense on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads. I'm not quite sure of the details, but it seems they would like for people to offer suggestions for a song title, and the person who comes up with the title they pick will obviously be credited. They will be taking suggestions until the end of this month, which for people in the "new world" means 8/30. Send your suggestion to [email protected].

Yet more photo sets available for purchase. They are sold for the same price(1000), and if you mail order them(because obviously, they will also be sold at their shows), the shipping is 500, as usual... if you're living in Japan, I suppose. XD Anyway, if you want to(and can) purchase them, send them your info at the same email address as always, and, here's a link to their site for the curious, as usual:
