Globe?

::starting to freak out::

Has anyone heard any news about the possible future of Globe? I know I read somewhere about their planned two-year hiatus after Level4, but it's been longer than that now, and there's no news of anything new coming out by them. And add to that all their "greatest hits" items that have come out lately. It almost seems like they're heading out the door and making their last goodbyes.

Oh yeah, and what's up with avexnet being down? Guess it's just server problems?

I'm in the same boat as you. Dream is coming out with a best-of album on Sept 29 called "777 - Best of Dream." Reportedly, it's going to be a do-over of some old Dream songs by the new Dream girls. Who knows what this Avex craziness has in store for any of us?

This is a rough translation of the popup at Globe's official website:

In you, a globe fan, you of August 9 are also the debut memorial days of globe today, as you know. And it is also the memorable year which globe was formed this year and rushed in in 10th. It decides that activity is resumed for this memorable year after a long time at a term, and I tell it to you today. Various activities are carried out as globe 10th Anniversary Year"globe DECADE", and it will go one year by August 9, next year. I consider in first of all new globe in which YOSHIKI also included the tour in the inside of a year in a plan and the summer of next year being fascinated with you, a fan, by three persons, me who am the member of the time of formation about the best hit concert for ten years, MARC, and KEIKO. furthermore -- since many completely new trials which were not are [ be / it ] under plan in "globe DECADE" until now -- you, a fan, -- please wait to pleasure August 9, 2004

What URL did you find this at, Richard? I'd like to take a look at the original Japanese.

It was a pop-up on their site, www.avexnet.or.jp/globe. They also have it in the News section.
