The album was then released for the US Market on March 31, 2017, by UMG, Universal Music Group landing on the Billboard, iTunes, and Amazon charts.

In 2018, John co-created and played all rhythm guitars for a rock guitar project called "Disney Super Guitar" (titled "Super Guitar Disney" in Japanese market)^[3].

Mid-2018, the "AniMaze X" was launched. This is a project started by the members of D-Metal Stars that encompasses a wider variety of music themes such as super heroes, popular cartoons, Broadway musicals and movie soundtracks all played in the Metal style. Live Metal performance with a theatrical style production. In 2021, AniMaze X was on Season 6 of the Wonderama TV show^[4] for 2 episodes, playing Live from Times Square in New York City.
