Kula Shaker
Kula Shaker disbanded in September 1999 but reformed in 2004 for sessions for the "School of Braja" compilation album. This led to plans for a full comeback, although the reformation was not widely publicised until the beginning of 2006. The band's third album, "Strangefolk", was issued in 2007 and their fourth, "Pilgrims Progress", was released in 2010. The band returned with a mostly sold out European tour and new album "K 2.0" in 2016 which was well-received both by the media and the fans.
Hayata (wrestler)
After he moved to Osaka Pro he received an opportunity for the Osaka Pro Wrestling Championship and in September he would join the heel unit Joker. On October 31, 2011 Hayata would win his very first championship on his first challenge after he and Kuuga defeated Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada for the Osaka Pro Tag Team Championship. In June, Joker began having problems with Hayata, after he started losing matches. As a result, Kuuga abandoned his Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship partner to team with Joker's newest member, Spider J, in the 2012 Osaka Tag Festival, leaving Hayata to team with Tadasuke in the same tournament. On June 24, Hayata and Tadasuke defeated Kuuga and Spider J in the finals of the tournament to win the 2012 Osaka Tag Festival. Following their win, Hayata announced that both he and Tadasuke were quitting Joker.
