PLUS - If you happen to be or will be in the Montreal area, this week is your last chance to win free passes to the 2014 Fantasia International Film Festival! Tweet the show @shibuya1690 for your chance to win! We'll be talking some of the best (and worst) films that screened this past weekend during the show. 

And finally we check out some overseas J-Rock inspired artists, look over the week's music charts and gather all of the news that's fit to spew, digest and chew! All on Episode 037 of Shibuya Crossing. From CJLO 1690AM in Montreal.

The Weekly Quickie: Memento Mori, Crossfaith, Man with a Mission, landz.

Just announced, eccentric rock band, Memeno Mori will be disbanding after their live at Shinjuku BIRTH on 8/17.  Personally, this really bums me out.  Memento Mori was one of my favorite up and coming bands.  There are no details given on the reasons behind the break up, but you can find member comments on their homepage which has been kindly translated by Karu Suzume on the Facebook fan page.  We will continue to support them until the end and wish them luck in their future endeavors.
