NEMOPHILA's second album, "Seize the Fate," has been officially released as of this month. As is customary, I put a couple of playthroughs through my headphones and speakers before putting words on screen.  Quick verdict: worth your listening, and then some.

LOVEBITES' newest album, "Judgement Day," releases on February 22. The band will have a special live-streamed premiere session the day prior on February 21! You'll be able to listen to the album alongside the band and chat with them.

A few days ago, Queen Bee was announced for Washington's premiere anime convention, Sakuracon. Today, word of a stand-alone concert spread. The location will be Los Angeles's Regent Theater in downtown Los Angeles and will take place on April 11.

Well, it's that time of year one more.  Anime Expo badge sales.

Taking place in the heart of downtown San Francisco at Moscone West Center, Fan Expo SF made its debut on Black Friday, November 25th, 2022.

Fan Expo is a welcomed return to celebrating pop culture entertainment in San Francisco.

Four years after the original release of indie game developer Grace Bruxner's The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game, Frog Detective 3 works as a cute and decently satisfying conclusion to the series. With nearly double the length of the first game, gamers once again get to don their trench coat and return to the adventures of their favorite amphibious detective. This time to investigate the case of the missing hats in Cowboy Country.

Sabaton just announced that BABYMETAL will accompany them for the European leg of The Tour to End All Tours, beginning in April 2023. They kick things off in the United Kingdom on April 14. BABYMETAL and Lordi will support Sabaton as they make their way across Europe.

ONE OK ROCK will grace the American shores once more in a litle over a week's time. Just a couple of days ago, their tenth album, "Luxury Disease," was released globally.

Today, NEMOPHILA announced two tours. The first one is Japan, and the second one, and more important for me, is for North America.

Well, technically North America, but more like California and Mexico. One of my friends did point out that it's right before SXSW so we may well see them there too.

We're about a week out from Sacramento's Aftershock Festival, and details and scheduling have been released. Japanese bands BAND-MAID and NEMOPHILA have been announced for 30 minute sets. Expect them to hit hard and heavy in order to make the most of that scant half-hour.

NEMOPHILA's set will be on day 2 at 435 PM at the DWPRESENTS Stage, and BAND-MAID's set will be on day 4 at 310 PM at the Coors Light Stage.
