SHAZNA Set for Live Broadcast Appearance on June 22

The legendary visual kei trio SHAZNA is gearing up for a primetime appearance on one of Japan’s most engaging music programs. All three members will be live in-studio for the 76th episode of “Ijikuri ROCKS!”, the weekly music information broadcast hosted by MUCC’s Tatsurou and NoGoD’s Danchō.

For those unfamiliar with SHAZNA, the band has been a cornerstone of the visual kei scene since the 1990s, known for their theatrical performances and distinctive sound that blends rock with gothic aesthetics. Following their activity revival, they’ve been steadily building momentum—and this broadcast appearance comes at a particularly exciting moment for the band.

The episode airs Monday, June 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM Japan time, with streaming available on both YouTube and Nico Nico Douga. During the live conversation, Tatsurou and Danchō will interview SHAZNA about their current trajectory and upcoming plans. The timing is strategic: the band has just announced a two-man live with MUCC scheduled for October 17 at Akabane Reny alpha, titled “SHAZNA Presents Goddess Descent ~Beautiful Halloween Party III~”.

In addition to the main interview segment, the episode features “Mr. Jack Cuts!”, a recurring corner produced by MUCC’s YUKKE. This week’s guest is 哀と凛人の無所属 (Ai and Rindo’s Unaffiliated), an ongoing creative project from vocalist Ai and guitarist Rindo before they formally established their full band lineup. Expect sharp, character-driven discussion as Mr. Jack interrogates what makes this duo tick.

“Ijikuri ROCKS!” has become essential listening for fans wanting insider perspective on the current visual kei landscape—and with SHAZNA’s resurgence gaining steam, this is a must-watch episode.
