They've kept busy but with stuff that's harder for intl fans to follow. Radio, touring, some tv stuff and an award show.


Yuki composed Angerme's Desugita and Reina has written a few songs so I guess they've decided the band is ready for more creative freedom.

The large amount of solo work Reina has been doing has lead to a lot of rumor a disbandment announcement was coming soon, but apparently they announced they're releasing a mini album this summer. Hyadain did at least one song for them.

They never replaced that graduated member, right? So I guess it could look like they'd disband soon or keep it only as a side project.

Well, Marin was recently on a show playing the new game Horizon: Zero Dawn, so she's still active.

Now I had to look it up, and it was Uozumi Yuki that graduated in September 2016. They're a 3nin group now. 
 
I'll never understand how you can be a rock band without a drummer. And without a bass. I mean they do have supporting members that help them with their concerts but having just guitar and keyboard as a rock band...

I've seen bands do it before that just use touring members. It makes more sense for a group that has more creative control (if you've got a core group that really know what they want in a sound), but I've seen it. I feel like it doesn't really matter? How often can anyone name the full lineup in a band these days anyway. I wouldn't know if most of the people I listen to didn't have a full permanent musician.

I kind of get it but with these groups it's mostly that it's either a whole band or rather the band that records albums that are visual (or not). Or, in many cases, these bands have a popular lead singer. But with Lovendor it's that the main members (now 3) are the focus and the others are just mentioned once in a while. Not that it doesn't make sense, but I think it's a bit weird.

Lovendor has far bigger problems than the fact that the official members don't make up a full band lol.

I just added a long entry on LoVendoR at JpopeOnJpop. Probably tl;dr, but the final image caption is worth it.

Haha, I commented on this on facebook and didn't even realize it was yours.  I'm in agreeance on everything though.  Lovendor has been nothing but a missed opportunity.

There seems to be a fair amount from what I've seen. Especially since people post similar replies here as they do there. I mainly just lurk in both areas at this point.

Lovendor is dead.

They will suspend their activities at the end of July.
Miyazawa Marin's contract is up in July. 
Reina is doing her own thing.

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

I'm surprised Marin's contract lasted longer than Marina's. You would think Marina could have just held out for a few more months to leave at the same time.


Hopefully this means Reina will finally release her solo songs.

Lovendor were such a wasted opportunity, it's really a shame.
