In last week’s Music Japan HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR had their last TV appearance with Maki as vocalist. They had a small special about Maki followed by a performance of Remember. I split it into two videos with the special in one and the live in the other.

This was requested by DarkSolDierEX, but I was going to post it anyway

On November 26th HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR’s greatest hits album Beeeeeest will be released. It will contain their greatest songs according to requests made by their fans. The track list isn’t out yet, but the DVD that comes with the limited edition of the album will contain some live footage as well as the PVs for Amazing, Flashback, Hot Limit and Remember.

I wrote “another” in the title because I count 10 Color Singles as sort of a greatest hits album (mostly, the singles are the hits after all). I wonder how much the two albums will overlap, but I’m sure that Beeeeeest will be worth looking into. Hopefully it will contain some B-sides and stuff, considering that it’s fan requests.

This is a part of HIGH and MIGTY COLOR’s live at Shibuya AX 2006-07-16.

This is H&MC’s latest PV Remember. This is probably the last single with Maki as singer

This is kind of old news, but I had totally missed this. Apparently Maki is leaving HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR by the end of the year. This was announced in their official blog July 2nd. This supposedly has something to do with Maki getting married to Masato Nakamura (who is 29 years older by the way).

What can I say but: NOOOOOOooooooooooooo!!

I wish Maki all the best, but I’m sad to see her leave the band
