FORMER GEMINI MEMBER MUNEMORI MADOKA (FKA DOKI/ULLI) SIGNS CONTRACT WITH CHAPEL RECORDS, NETIZENS REACT.
while legion entertainment boy group GEMINI disbanded earlier in the summer, concern for lead vocalist munemori madoka had already began to mount months beforehand- after legion’s declaration that madoka would be held back from promoting with the group for the forseeable future after allegedly refusing to perform with GEMINI at fellow boy band 5OGUE’s anniversary concert. madoka was not seen online or in person since the news story broke in december 2018, not even breaking his social media absence to address the group’s disbandment.
to many fans surprise, madoka’s radio silence finally broke this evening, as reports hit the media that the singer had signed a record deal with chapel records. acting ceo shigeki koushiro confirmed the reports in an official statement moments later, saying ‘madoka is a talented singer and amazing dancer, with magnitudes of potential to make it as a soloist in both korea and japan. chapel are honoured to welcome him aboard, and excited to make art with him.”
madoka followed up with a statement shortly after, breaking his near-year-long silence. “i have so much respect for all the artists at chapel, i’m beyond thankful to cola and koushiro for taking a chance on me. i hope everyone can look upon my debut with kind eyes and listen to music written from my heart.”
NETIZEN COMMENTS
1. [+1,753, -18] his narcissism brought down an entire group ㅋㅋㅋ let's see if it can sink a record label too. 2. [+1,627, -13] He has a great voice! His Marvin's Room cover and his song with Seikai already fit Chapel's concept. I think he'll do well there! 3. [+1,510, -7] Cola's friendship with Penny must have ended today ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 4. [+134, -2] i don't think we were concerned about his disappearance... weren't we more concerned he'd come back? 5. [+133, -2] is cola just hanging around legion's exit doors with the contracts already drawn up? 6. [+124, -2] Chapel, please sign the other members too! Bring Gemini back together please 7. [+120, -0] that's an old photo... like four faces ago ㅋㅋ i wonder how much has he further altered his looks since his hiatus? 8. [+88, -2] Hurry up and settle comfortably into presenting japanese daytime tv, Madoka. That's the only gig you're gonna get. 9. [+85, -0] Madoka's taste in music takes a lot of influence from western retro music & even rock. I definitely think he'll bring a unique sound to the table! He has a unique point of view and Chapel provides a lot of freedom. 10. [+75, -14] chapel records hires based on controversy, not talent.
