Still a Sigure Virgin? (stylised as still a Sigure virgin?) is Japanese rock band Ling Tosite Sigure's fourth studio album, released on September 22, 2010.[1] [2]

Promotion

In late January 2010, the band began a tour, titled after the first track on the album, "I Was Music." The tour spanned 26 dates, lasting until April 17,[3] however did not feature any new songs, other than "I Was Music."[4] The band also held a four date tour in England in May, featuring two performances at The Great Escape festival in Brighton, and two solo dates in London.[5] After the album's release, the band toured with a 13 date tour in Japan, Virgin Killer, from later October until early December.[6]

Several videos were released to music video channels in promotion of the album. In late March, a special studio live session, Superfinal Sadistic Tornado Vibes, was broadcast on Japanese music channel Space Shower, featuring several new songs from the album.[7] Two music videos were produced for the album, "I Was Music" and "Illusion Is Mine."[8] Daisuke Shimada directed "I Was Music,"[9] which was shot in a single take.[8] "Illusion Is Mine" was directed by Yasunori Kakegawa.[10]

Band member Pierre Nakano featured on the October 2010 cover of Rhythm & Drums Magazine, while 345 featured simultaneously on the October copy of Bass Magazine.[11]
