JE*REVIENS / Syndrome / Kochou

Hello~
I created this post to discuss ASAGI's former bands: JE*REVIENS, Syndrome and Kochou. I love each of these bands, though I admit JE*REVIENS' engineering was terrible! ASAGI's voice has inspired us for years and will continue doing so for years to come.

Okay, so enough of that! Here are some pictures!

JE*REVIENS. This was an ad scanned from Shoxx magazine.

...Did anyone notice? "Secret special guest D". Hmmm.

Syndrome. Scans from a few different magazine.

Silly Ruiza! You thought you could keep your height and weight a secret forever?!

Kochou. I don't know where this are from...


That's all I have! But if you have more pictures or lyrics, or anything, please share them! What I'd really be eager to disucuss though: JE*REVIENS 1999 interview on HOT WAVE. It was on YouTube but was removed recently and I was wondering if anyone here has it or at least has seen it. ASAGI was sooo cute in that fuzzy hat! I'd give anything to see that again...

AHA! so I was right! Ruiza was taller than I thought! He's around 5'4!! Which is about the same height as me! Bwahahaa!

I was surprised when I found out his height! He's actually taller than me! It's only an inch, but still! It's cool.

He looks more muscular now, as does ASAGI. Actually, right after Syndrome -- during D's early days -- Rui-chan got incredibly thin and sickly, which is why he went to the hospital I imagine. It better have had nothing to do with that Fumiko girl! (That girl who sang on his first solo album. His music was pretty but her voice was really, really bad!!)

I saw that interview and it made me smile. I remember Asagi didn't look too happy. I don't think he liked the host people. xD

I've heard JE*REVIENS and of course Syndrome but never any Kochou songs. It's sad. ;-; But I do have these 2 pictures:


And because I feel like it, some fabulous blonde!Asagi in Syndrome:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the pictures! You have noooo idea how grateful I am! SAGI-san looks adorable with blonde curls! But he looks adorable no matter what you put him in!

Yes, that HOT WAVE interview was funny. My Japanese is terrible but I'm pretty sure the hosts asked ASAGI about his cat? That's when he laughed, oh so cute, then got all serious. But I'm probably wrong, wrong, wrong! The hosts seemed kind of rude. And Kazuki insulted ASAGI I think?! I don't know.

It cracked me up with they called ASAGI (or at least his outfit) sexy. I couldn't agree more!

But yes, if you'd like to hear Kochou I'll send you their music. Not on here though! That'd be against the rules! Just message me.

It makes me mad they deleted it from YouTube. It's such an old clip. I can't imagine why anyone would care.

I thought that video was fun too, especially the 90's VK costumes! Asagi must have loved leopard print even since back then...

Anyway, if it's the part I think it was, this was the dialogue:

Female Host: (to Asagi) Do you have conversations with animals?
Asagi: ...*embarassed laugh* ...Conversations? I do sometimes...

lol. That's an awkward question.

I knew it had to do with an animal at least. ^.^ So cute! I loved his reaction! Awww! How many people can get away wearing a crazy leopard print dress and fuzzy hat? I liked his hair though. I wish he'd show his face more often!!

JE*REVIENS was cool, though a few of their songs make me giggle. I can't believe ASAGI and Kazuki were in the same band! I saw Kazuki and I was like, "It's that drummer from Due le quartz!" Weird. I wonder who formed JE*REVIENS?

It's so difficult to find their videos!

I found more Syndrome pictures so I thought I'd post them...





I also found pictures of HIDE-ZOU's former band, As'REAL. I was surprised when I found their music. I had no idea HIDE was their singer! A pleasant surprise.



...the guy in the short-short-shorts scares me. O_o

SinceI tend to hoard everything Sin-related, I have a lot of Syndrome pictures from when he and Asagi were in the band.

I'm not posting these as thumbnails because I'm lazy. I'll link to large images

...and since I had to go through 6 pages of Sin for all of these, I'll take this as my cue to go get a life...

Fandom is life! Actually, I'm probably a bad influence so I shouldn't say anything. I'm nuts, you know?

Thanks for the pictures! How did you find them?? Well, it doesn't matter. I'm super appreciative!

And what in the world ever happened to Sin?

Man I like... hunt down Syndrome-related everything XD

and damn... none of the fans know what happened to Sin. Apparently, he left D to "pursue other projects" but then just did one song with Kisaki Project and disappeared. His ex band mates very rarely mention him... I think I've seen someone from a past band mention him once in the past 5 years.

Um, just a reminder: We all need to thumbnail our pictures or have a link to them because it will make reading difficult for everyone. The mods keep saying that so now I'm going to keep saying it. We need to be good!!

Anyway, sometimes I wonder whether Sin died or something!! Or maybe he prefers the ordinary life and one day, who knows, you might pass him by in the street and not even realize it.

Thanks for the pictures, guys! I haven't seen some of those. <3

Here's a couple scans of S to M (with Hiroki and Hide-zou):


Funny...Saya and Michiru get whole pages to themselves while Hiroki, Hide-zou, and Kazutake are always squished together.

Ah, one could never forget the old Asagi with the starfish in his hair singing "La la la la" flailing his arms about or his slick pink hair. I am curious to know if Asagi ever views old clips from his past and laughs. I remember listening to old CD's years and years ago laughing because he was just as different back then as he is now, which is a wonderful thing.

ASAGI's adorable. Back then especially! Sometimes I listen to JE*REVIENS and giggle. Tis sooo cute! I'm sure he looks back and giggles as well.

One of those PVs for Syndrome though, it had secret codes! I've actually tried figuring them out to see whether they have meaning. At some point I paused and it showed a picture of the Earth surrounded by flames. I knew what that meant. Very interesting.

PS ~ Catharsis, your display picture is incredibly beautiful!

offtopic @Tillster .. thank you very much I drew it.

NO WAY!
IT'S AMAZING!!!

And you're not donating art to the Mad Tea Party DVD?! I shouldn't demand, but I'm quite impressed. I wish I could draw like that. Job well done!!
