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.[3][4]

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,[5] however did not feature any new songs, other than "I Was Music."[6] 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.[7] After the album's release, the band toured with a 13 date tour in Japan, Virgin Killer, from later October until early December.[8]

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.[9] Two music videos were produced for the album, "I Was Music" and "Illusion Is Mine."[10] Daisuke Shimada directed "I Was Music,"[11] which was shot in a single take.[10] "Illusion Is Mine" was directed by Yasunori Kakegawa.[12]
