Daisuke is still T.M.Revolution's "music producer", but no longer "total producer". The choice was on Takanori's side, not Daisuke's. Takanori probably decided to do this to gain more independance. A source close to Takanori has also told me that management was getting into conflicts, resulting in the need to part ways. However Daisuke continues to write all his music.

The first and easiest answer to the question is that while the album did well critically, it didn't do well commercially. T]here were times when I called MCA to find out the release date of Chagall Guevara, [and] the "publicity department" would ask me, "Can you spell that for me?" Enough said. However, this is only half the story. As Steve once put it, when MCA dropped the ball, the band failed to pick it up. See similar questions...

In 1970, after a string of hits and years in the music business, THE BUCKINGHAMS decided it was time to pursue their individual interests. See similar questions...

No. In our test, the magnets pull themselves together from as far as 3 inches apart on a smooth surface. It's very unlikely that they would break apart under normal circumstances unless they were struck violently. See similar questions...

We were alerted to this iceberg by colleagues at the University of Chicago who are studying iceberg motions with us. They were informed by the National Science Foundation here in the US who oversee the US Antarctic Program. They were notified by the folks at McMurdo Station Antarctica, the main US station in Antarctica, in a weekly report to NSF. The weather forecasters at McMurdo were the first folks to notice this. Aside from the images posted to http://tstorm.ssec.wisc.edu/iceberg. See similar questions...

Not likely. Its spread out over both continents, with lots of fun to be had at both. There will be a rush on LHC on the first day, but otherwise it should be very easy and not cause major crashes. See similar questions...

Click here for a visual chart comparing the way Bike Friday tandems fold and pack. The Two'sDay "quick-folds" in around 2 minutes and the rest of the models, called the Travelers, break apart. Most tandems pack into two suitcases, with the exception of the special TwinAir and certain configurations of the Traveler Q tandems which pack into a single suitcase. The "price" of the quick fold feature is weight and cost. See similar questions...

Cracking occurs when light inks like white, khaki or gold are printed on dark shirts. For designs to be vibrant on dark shirts, the layer of ink needs to be much thicker than on inks on light colored shirts. It takes dozens of washings before any cracking will be obvious as long as you properly launder your garments. See similar questions...

Jane's Addiction parted ways for several reasons in 1991. Their final split of what some hardcore fans consider the 'original' members was not their first. Things had been shakey ever since things got serious as far as signing to a major label is concerned. Camps within the band were formed as you can tell by the immediate projects by the alumni after the split. Farrell and Perkins formed Porno For Pyros while Avery and Navarro formed Deconstruction.

Paul entered, and subsequently won a contest, collecting soup labels, which won him a trip to New York. Sleeping in the hotel bathtub of some fellow musicians, with his songs in hand, he was able to obtain a meeting with Don Costa, an A& R man for ABC Paramount. He played him his songs, including 'Diana,' and instantly impressed the seasoned Costa. Shortly thereafter, due to Paul's young age, his parents were flown down and contracts were signed.

Have you ever looked into your lens and gasped with horror at the sight of a broken shutter blade? Not a pleasant experience at all. There is, however, something that you can do to lessen the chances of this happening to you ... periodic maintenance. A shutter blade is made up of three pieces. First, there is the shutter blade itself. Then, there are two smaller pieces that are riveted to one end of the blade; one on the top and one on the bottom. There are four holes in this end of the blade. See similar questions...

Not officially. Pope Jane is on a well-earned long hiatus while Danielle pursues her acting / writing career in film, scores movies, and puts out her solo album. Pope Jane is Danielle Egnew, drummer Kristen Coyner. and bassist Holly Hoagland Shawver. Guitarist Paul Houston, bassist Todd Connelly, and percussionist Dave Barnhardt played for a year with Pope Jane, recording DOG AND PONY SHOW with the band. See similar questions...

Yes. There has been a dramatic change in the status of this long-term couple's relationship within the past three weeks. TGOM's sources confirmed that Kristin has cashed out of the relationship and skipped town. This pair has a long history and whether the split is temporary or they are finito forever remains to be seen. For now, my money's on the latter. This split can be attributed to indiscretions in the relationship and numerous hindrances to reconciliation remain. See similar questions...

Iceman has officialy not broken up, in fact. They never announced the end of Iceman. However, in 2000, vocalist Michihiro Kuroda started his own solo work - and Iceman never worked together again. He announced his official leave after a year of inactivity. His official given reason was "I can't reach my full potential as a member of Iceman". It's a well known fact that Daisuke was incredibly upset about Iceman's demise, and never official ended the band. See similar questions...

Sorry, only Daisuke and Hiro know for sure. But Daisuke was on the verge of tears when he announced it to a giant crowd of fans, who mostly burst out crying after he said it. The rumors, mind you, rumors only, are that they had arguments fairly often, and Daisuke slapped Hiro - in front of a crowd (this info was apparently in the news - but that could have been tabloid news).

They haven't. They stopped working with Kinya years ago, but neither Kenichi nor Daisuke has let on that Mad Soldiers is finished. Currently both members are working on completely seperate projects, however. Alas when I had the chance to ask him myself, it was taken away due to a series of unfortunate events :-). Hopefully someday we will hear it, but at this point it's basically unknown. See similar questions...
