Hello video game cover band enjoyers! We're (almost) back and (almost) better than ever <3

Hate to open this account on such a sad note, but RIP to Masashi Kageyama, the genius who created the Gimmick! OST. It was such an inspirational soundtrack for me that I started a video game band JUST to call it Gimmick!

I never got to meet the man but I'm glad he knew he was so loved by all <3
