Earlier this month Arlequin’s (アルルカン) vocalist Aki (暁) was reported to suffer from chronic inflammation of the vocal cords, which was caused by vocal cord nodules brought on by vocal abuse. The frontman was instructed to rest in order to recover from his condition. During his absence the rest of the band continued their live schedule as planned. Fast forward a few weeks and 17 lives later, and the band has announced that their vocalist is ready to return to the stage!

And, he’s just in time for a rather festive event that will take place on July 30 at Shinjuku ReNY. On that date GOEMON RECORDS will hold a presents live titled Yukata de Pon!~2016 Natsu~(浴衣でポン!~2016 夏~). There a special unit called Attack! Attack! (アタック!アタック!) comprised of Arlequin’s guitarist Nao (奈緒), and Pentagon’s (ペンタゴン) guitarist Taku (拓) will be the opening act and provider of an original theme song. The CD containing the song will be distributed then. A second unit called 1 Nin Yami Sen! (1人闇戦!) will also perform, but the main attractions are, of course, Arlepon (アルルポン) and Pontapen (ポンタペン), a mix-up between members of Arlequin and Pentagon. Sounds like a fun night you won’t want to miss if you’re in Japan.

We’re not exactly sure which positions the members will take on, but a breakdown of all participants, according to GOEMON RECORDS’ website, is below.
