Situations in which flailing is a good thing

Well, better being a little bit late than never hearing about it at all. Thank you, Brain, for that random Google search!

Taken from Virtual Japan, from this article.

The Hiatus is a Japanese rock band formed in 2009 by Takeshi Hosomi of the band Ellegarden. The Hiatus is considered by some Ellegarden fans to be Takeshi Hosomi's solo project, but the project is a real band featuring talented musicians from other popular Japanese bands including Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Radio Caroline, and FULLSCRATCH. The members of the band as of their first show included Hosomi on vocals along with Kouji Ueno, Masasucks, Takashi Kashikura, and Hirohisa Horie. Like Ellegarden, many of The Hiatus's lyrics are sung in English.

The Hiatus was formed following the announced hiatus (get the irony) of Takeshi Hosomi's extremely popular previous j-punk/j-rock band, Ellegarden. Ellegarden announced their hiatus in 2008 and by the spring of 2009 the new band, The Hiatus had played their first show at Punk Spring 2009. The Hiatus released their first album, "Trash We’d Love" on May 27, 2009 on Sony Japan.

So, apparently, Ellegarden is on a break (I figured, since they hadn't made an album in a while), and The Hiatus is Takeshi Hosomi (a.k.a. my husband)'s new band :) I have yet to hear their album as I'm hoping to find a /gasp/ version of it on the net, but I haven't searched yet. Even though I'm more partial to Takeshi's Japanese stuff, him singing in English isn't nearly as bad as some of the other bands I've heard before, but who knows.
