Mini-Album and Line-Up Changes for spiv states

Visual kei band spiv states will release their second mini-album on July 13th, called Futari no hoshi. The mini-album is said to be introducing a new genre of "V-POP" and will show a new side of spiv states. BUG bassist TAKASHI and SADS/KUROYUME's support drummer GO have been featured in the recording.

The mini-album will be available in a regular and a limited edition. Both editions will come with seven tracks, amongst them two versions of the song Always; one in Japanese and the other in English. The song was composed following the Tohoku Earthquake and JUN hopes to send out his heartfelt message all over the world. The regular edition will come with an extra track, and the limited edition with a DVD containing the PV of Futari no hoshi.

After the release of the mini-album, spiv states' line-up will return to just front-man JUN, with RYO, ZECHS and SEIYA following a different path. These three members have been part of the band since late 2010, when original member IORI had to leave due to health problems. After their last concert with this line-up on July 9th at Higashi Koenji 20000V, JUN will perform live with guest band members.
