It’s been over a year and half since we last heard of Fero☆Men. The visual-kei unit consisting of Junichi Suwabe and Kousuke Toriumi has been off the radar since March 2016. Today, Suwabe decided to put an end to the silence and shed some light over future projects.
Junichi Suwabe went on a series of tweets to explain the unit’s silence since last year’s “MAGIC MIRROR“.
He started by announcing that there are new projects in place for Fero☆Men. He mentions there will be a single release and a live concert/event (this one mostly likely to be held in January). Even if there are no set dates right (only the vague “January”), Suwabe let everyone know that starting that month, fans can expect a lot of new things coming from the unit.
He then adds that he ” hopes fans can prepare themselves for what is going to be released in 2018“.
Suwabe reminded fans that the unit debuted in 2004 (the first single was released in 2009) and so far have released 5 singles and one full length album. He also put enphasis on the fact that both him and Toriumi produce their music (they are self producing their songs since the beginning).
新プロジェクト始動。今秋新曲リリース予定！そして2018年1月、フェロ☆メン劇場の幕が上がる・・・ラヴァーズの皆様、御準備をよろしくお願い致します。詳細近日！ pic.twitter.com/mrlHG9FH3P

長い沈黙を破り動き出しているフェロ☆メン！来年1月の新プロジェクト。チケット発売は年内、ニューシングルリリースより早い時期となるかもしれません。ヘヴィ級になりそうで… 心の準備をしておいて頂けると幸いです。

これまで音楽を発表してきたわけですが、フェロ☆メンはミュージシャンというわけではありません。日頃の声優としての活動を応援して下さっているみなさんが楽しんでくれそうなモノをカタチにしていくのがコンセプト。なにぶん本業ありきですので、なかなか実現出来ないのですが。

フェロ☆メンのビジュアルを紹介する度に「女装ですね」と言われるのですが・・・違います（笑）

After addressing Fero☆Men‘s future endeavors it seems that fans have calmed down a bit (they had been particularly vocal about wanting the duo to make a comeback). Now there’s only enthusiam within their fanbase as the great drought in Fero☆Men‘s news has finally been put to rest.
As usual we’ll be covering Fero☆Men‘s news. As soon as more information is available about the new single and other projects we’ll update everyone.
