http://image-complex.occult-proposal.net/images.html Hey everyone -- after much delaying and wasting time, I've made some pretty big updates to the scans page. Now, each artist is broken up into their scans' respective albums or categories (as some bands are only flyers or magazine articles) and feature preview icons. I may split this page out to be smaller chunks of bands (like A-F, G-M, etc) in the future, but for now I'm just happy I finally got that over with I currently do not have a scanner, so adding more scans of the CDs I own will take some time. I do plan on transcribing some more lyrics into kana and romaji soon, so at least I'll still be able to provide some updates. Additionally, I've made a Twitter account for the site. I plan to use this to blast out update notifications as well as share some cool vkei-related content I stumble across. Checkout @ZombieXJuice if you're interested

Knowing Merry, the pile of trash is just them being self-deprecating. Gara often refers to how they used to be called a rubbish band. Even in some MC during the anniversary lives, he said something like "Merry was called a rubbish band, but this rubbish band is now going on 15 years". I think that's what's going on in the video, they're so rubbish the streaming site stops working and just shows a pile a trash instead. I could be wrong, but I like it.

Time arrived, Thanks Guys!

Tallinn gon get LIT Visual kei boat cruise from helsinki to the new vk capital of the baltics?!?!

I haven't posted in this thread yet, but I was very excited about this package. ( ﾟヮﾟ) Some Diaura CDs + Ains fliers, and then a ton of Gossip stuff. Christmas cheki, regular cheki, and goods from their Halloween "Strange Box" goods set (notebook, clear file, cheki, photo set, group photo, live DVDs, sticker, and buttons!).

Too late. MEJIBRAY has already caught wind and their next photoshoot they'll all be wearing diapers and smoking fat blunts.

god bless their fragile souls

*listens to baboo once* oh, what a cute band!! *sees diapers*

2017 S.K.I.N.

I could write band names all day xD ^As a said before smaller bands would be awesome personally new bands have the most potential since we dont know what they will bring to the scene, and may be willing to work to get their music "out there" My list is slightly different now since Vstar has MORRIGAN taken care of xD & Killaneth has disbanded For me: - Vexent (A band that is bringing something fresh to the table imo and really has a lot of potential I love them <3 ) - Dexcore (Only one release so far and they already are one of my favorites) I would ask for more but this 2 bands i believe show a lot of potential and i believe they will go far

Greetings, monochromians and netizens at large! I'm a bit late, but here are my top 20 Favorite Albums (and mini-albums) of 2016. In this list, I've made no distinction between Japanese and International releases, since I enjoyed much fewer non-Japanese albums in 2016 than usual. I usually never bother ranking my AOTY lists, but I wanted to give it a shot this year for fun. I do think the rankings reflect my general sentiments in a way, but...don't read too much into them lol. XD Lastly, Please note that this list isn't meant to be some kind of objective statement on the music released last year - this is simply a recollection of the albums I enjoyed most in 2016. So have a look around, and if you have any thoughts to share, please feel free! (I also made some short audio samples for each track, for those who might be curious!) Let's get into it! 20 The Heart Speaks In Whispers by Corinne Bailey Rae While this album didn't entirely live up to the lofty expectations set by 2010's The Sea, there was still a lot here for me to enjoy! Corinne dabbled in her usual pop fare, but it was the strong, classic r&b and soul influences throughout the record that truly struck a chord. I adore her usually refined and elegant approach to songwriting, but it was great to hear her stretch those fantastic vocal chords and really go for it at times too. 19 SECRETS by Deep Sea Diver At the risk of sounding like a complete and utter weeb, I must admit that's it's been incredibly difficult for me to find American indie-rock bands that cater to my taste. There are, of course, some that I enjoy, but on the whole, few seem to possess the kind of rhythmic and melodic sensibilities that I go for. Seattle's Deep Sea Diver are an exception, though. They're certainly not innovators by any means, but they do have an understated quirkiness that I find extremely charming! 18 TAXIS by koh nakashima I'm a bit surprised that there's not much mention of this guy in the Western Jpop sphere. For me, he's been one of the most impressive and promising newcomers to hit the scene. He seemingly came out of nowhere, dropping two EPs - RAFT and TAXIS - just a few months apart. I found TAXIS especially appealing for its nostalgic, yet refreshing blend of house, city-pop, uk garage, and pop. This also gets extra points for being one of the few releases where me and @beni's taste actually converge! 17 NIPPONNO ONNAWO UTAU BEST by NakamuraEmi Speaking of nostalgia - NakamuraEmi also won me over with an acoustic-pop style that hearkens back to early 00's jpop. Though, like Koh Nakashima, she brings a hip flair to her music and even skillfully incorporates a rap flow at times; which is something of a normal occurrence in Jpop these days thanks to acts like daoko and suiyoubi no campanella. Funnily enough, "NIPPONNO ONNAWO UTAU BEST" is simultaneously Nakamura's major debut while also serving as a best-of album for her indie material. This was my first experience with her (as it probably was for most people), and I'm nothing short of impressed. She already has a well established sound, honed from years of toiling away in obscurity, and I can't wait to hear what's next for her. 16 Word in the Petals by CHERRYBOY FUNCTION Unless you're some kind of Japanese club music aficionado, then chances are you probably haven't heard of CHERRYBOY FUNCTION. Hell, even if you're just a casual fan of electronica, coming across him or his music is unlikely given his sufficiently weak social network game and scanty remix work. Yet despite this, he's been quietly cranking out his bleeps & bloops via the small record label ExT Recordings for about a decade now, and also plays alongside more prominent electronic acts like DE DE MOUSE and TOFUBEATS. Word in the Petals is just another great dose of his colorful techno and house grooves. 15 THE NEWEST JOKE by VELTPUNCH Despite their prominence as one of the western fanbase's treasured indie bands of the 00's, I was never much of a VELTPUNCH fan. Even when I first listened to this album, I wrote it off as being decent, but nothing more. Yet for reasons unknown to me, I gave it another try and it actually began to click, growing on me with each repeat listen. With a whopping fourteen tracks, clocking in at over an hour, the album does drag on for a bit too long. I might have placed this higher in the list if the pleasant-but-forgettable tracks were omitted in favor of the stronger moments, but there's still more than enough raucous indie-rock fun here to keep me coming back! 14 LAST WALTZ by world's end girlfriend This was actually my first time listening to a WEG record, and to be honest, it just barely made my list. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but because it's simply a massive record and I felt I hadn't properly digested it yet. Though the fact that I still included it is a testament to the impression that's it's left on me. LAST WALTZ is an expansive amalgam of beautiful, cinematic landscapes, twisted distortion, and gritty electronics - right up my alley. I'll definitely enjoy continuing to digest this one in the year ahead. 13 freeform jazz by uyama hiroto Uyama Hiroto will probably be viewed as the spiritual successor to his peer and collaborator, the late Nujabes. However, with all due respect, I would say that this album has propelled him into a league of his own. While not technically "free-jazz", it certainly feels less bound than his previous works. It's a more musical effort overall, and the drumwork is especially more organic than before, as opposed to the straightforward boom-bap approach that similar artists take. In fact, you can hardly categorize this as just "jazzy hip-hop" anymore. Hell, the entire album only has one actual rap feature (and thankfully so, because I can't stomach cheesy backpacker rap!). It's an exquisite listen with fantastic vibes. 12 remix04 rem by Chouchou I've followed Chouchou casually for years now, but this album has completely cemented me as a fan. It's a self-remix album in the which duo have reworked their songs completely into ambient piano pieces, and it's astoundingly gorgeous! It's so well done that this albums feels like a new, cohesive work of its own, as opposed to an assortment of previously released tracks. I'd love for them to continue along this style. 11 DEEPER by HITORIE Wowaka's musical mind never ceases to amaze me. As a former vocaloid producer, he brings to HITORIE all of the colorful melodies and infectious riffs that I love, while thankfully leaving the actual vocaloid at home. If it weren't for the tail end of the album, DEEPER would have been much higher in rank, but the first half is so strong and has received SO MUCH playtime from me that it warrants a place on this list! 10 "inori de wa todokanai kyori" by JYOCHO The spirit of uchuu combini being resurrected in the form of JYOCHO was no doubt the biggest year-end surprise for me. For the most part, JYOCHO picks up exactly where the band left off, except this time adding a flutist into the arrangement. Even the new vocalist Rionos is barely distinguishable from uchuu's Emichoco. All in all, It's a lovely dose of math-pop, and just what I needed in my musical diet last year. 09 DISTORTION by THIS IS JAPAN These 4-piece alt. rockers appeared with yet another awesome debut EP last year. Citing influences such as Fugazi and Japanese indie legends NUMBER GIRL and Bloodthirsty Butchers, these guys play a style of rock that smashes together fun and catchy melodies with pure, spastic rawness! At a time where the smooth grooves of city-pop and the chilled sounds of western indie are trending in the J-indie world, THIS IS JAPAN is a breath of fresh air! 08 Floa by Mammal Hands With the emergence of acts like mouse on the keys and fox capture plan, bands fusing post-rock with piano-based jazz seem to be appearing more these days. Mammal Hands was my latest discovery in this style, and unlike their labelmates GoGo Penguin (who also released a solid album in 2016), this trio are a bit more loyal to their jazz influences. They have a pretty awesome saxophonist, which definitely supplements their jazzy predilections and gives them a more notable edge over similar bands. I like to imagine that Floa is what Uyama Hiroto would sound like if he went in a more jazzy and cinematic direction. 07 Flames & Figures by The Seshen The Seshen was another serendipitous new discovery for me last year. I stumbled across them while perusing one of my favorite UK music labels, Tru Thoughts, and I was enamored immediately. They make the kind of forward-thinking soul music that I love, with hints of electronica, synth-pop, and psychedelia all bundled into one, crisp, enthralling package. I've seen them described as "Little Dragon meets Erykah Badu", which is brilliant since I love those two. Apparently, they've also supported acts like Thundercat and Hiatus Kaiyote (who I also love!). 06 IKI by HITORIE No, you're not going crazy. This is, indeed, another HITORIE album on my list lol. They released two last year, and as you can see, I'm smitten with them both! IKI, however, is the second one to be released and also the better of the two. It doesn't have the powerhouse singles that DEEPER did, but it's the more cohesive and balanced work. Whereas DEEPER fizzles out towards the end, IKI is thoroughly engaging throughout. The amount of quality music that HITORIE released last year is just baffling! 05 A Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead I'm most likely a fan of any Japanese band that you can describe as sounding Radiohead-esque - sleepy.ab, downy, trico, wooderd chiarie, ar - so it only makes sense that I'd be a fan of the masters themselves. I can't even tell you why I like them so much, but I guess their sound just speaks to my heart on a visceral level. This album is like the soundtrack to a dream of infinitely unravelling splendor. The arrangements are gorgeous and the production is as pristine and masterful as it gets. Amazing! 04 Ugly Slave Children by No Party for Cao Dong These Taiwanese rockers completely swept me off my feet after seeing what I'd easily consider my favorite music video of 2016. Admittedly, the album took a while to grow on me, with its unexpectedly danceable nature, but I've really come to love its uniquely passionate blend of grooves, mathy passages, and emo outbursts. 03 SONASILE by Shohei Amimori I was beginning to lose faith in PROGRESSIVE FOrM, my favorite Japanese electronic label, as the quality of their releases have been shoddy over past few years, but Shohei Amimori has completely dispelled my growing stigma with this album! SONASILE is an absolutely incredible sonic feast of colorful IDM and sunny glitch-pop. There are also hints of modern classical and jazz piano strewn throughout, and even some very strong Shibuya-Kei influences. I'm surprised that the western fandom seems to have overlooked this one! 02 dai roku sakuhin-shu "mudai" by downy As expected, downy's 6th untitled album is absolutely singular! It's much different from their previous album, yet just as good. Robin Aoki's vocals are more prominent than they've ever been, and the production seems a bit more earthy and natural, as if the album was produced specifically with live performances in mind. It's brought out a new kind of warmth to their otherwise stark and cold, dystopian sound. The general soundscape of the album isn't as varied as their previous releases, but it works in downy's favor here. Instead of going for an outwardly expansive sound, the album plays out like the band exploring their own inner workings, and it's a whole new world unto itself. I'm not sure how these guys do it, but they keep evolving while remaining a uniquely potent force. 01 siraph by siraph You know those "create your dream band" topics? Well, I've ruminated on those kinds of subjects quite a bit and never in a million years would I have thought to create a band as perfect as siraph. These guys are literally a dream come true - mostly due in part to the god-tier combination of haisuinonasa's Yoshimasa Terui and school food punishment's Masayuki Hasuo. Terui was the driving force behind haisinonasa and Hasuo was responsible for school food punishment's best material. With both bands in the throes of oblivion (the former appears to be on hiatus and the latter has been disbanded for years), their unique sounds seemed at danger of being lost to time. Thankfully, siraph has appeared with this godsend of a debut to save the day! The EP combines Terui's offbeat, math rock-sensibilities and Hasuo's eccentric synth grooves to brilliant effect. Both composers wrote three tracks each, and while their individual styles are obvious, they couldn't be any more complimentary as a unit. Singer Annabel completes the circle, bringing with her an anison charm that completely invigorates Hasuo and Terui's already imaginative compositions. With this EP, in addition to their demos and recent single, siraph has single-handedly made my 2016!

i'm biased because i'm a stan, but i think the first ~wave~ was caused by laputa/everlasting-k/aki

Frankly speaking there has been always a huge ( HUUUUUUUUUGE) batch of vk acts going for rather sloppy, plastered synthcraft per each era visual scene had during its existence. Even now I could barely name significant neo-vk chaps whose synth work I actually *feel* - take say, Blu-Billion? Their synth game MAKES SENSE to me, idk.

when you're tired of fucking japanese bangya #sanadoesitagain

Not my favorite effect but also not the one i hate. To be honest I don't even pay attention to it unless someone points it out.

Tonight Dangan played with Lezard and Jack Caper in the Riostar Records tour final ive at Takadanobaba AREA! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Each band had their own set, but in between they mixed members with each other to form session bands. Each session band played two songs. The session bands were: ●ナスのナスがまま [Vo. Hiro (Jack Caper)・Gt. Leo(弾丸 NO LIMIT)・Ba. TACC (LEZARD)・Dr. Suguru (Jack Caper)] ●ヴィジュモン [Vo. Miyuu (弾丸 NO LIMIT)・Gt. Riku(Jack Caper)・Ba. Chika (弾丸 NO LIMIT)・Dr. natsume (LEZARD)] ●はむひなUすけ [Vo. Kousuke (LEZARD)・Gt. Hinata (Jack Caper) Ba. U (Jack Caper)・Dr. Yusuke (弾丸 NO LIMIT)] Leo's session band was up first. Before they even started though like, the curtains opened, and Leo accidentally knocked down his mic stand hahaha They started with Dangan's Sono uso honto!! It was weird hearing a different vocalist sing it, but it was still fun! They also played the Lezard song where you flip people off (it was actually really fun lol) Leo looked really ridiculous cos he was borrowing Jack Caper costumes I think. He was definitely wearing the vocalist's weird feather vest thing haha but his guitar playing is so good so I kind of didn't care <333 During the MC, Hiro briefly introduced all of the bandmen and when he said "Leo on guitar" Leo played a really cool riff, but Hiro was like wtf did you do that to show us your skill or to cover up in case no one called your name?? So he made Leo no play anything and introduced him again and everyone yelled Leo's name so Hiro was like wtf you have so many fans you don't have to cover it up!!! And then Suguru was like "wait what about me! They didn't call my name that loud!" And Hiro was like "okay we'll try again for you. ON DRUMS, SUGURU!" and no one cheered. hahaha <333 Hiro also asked everyone what they ate for lunch. They all joked around like "I ate a really high class/expensive meal!" or describe the meal in a really fancy way, but then it was like at somewhere dumb like Matsuya or from 7-11 or something haha. Oh and Leo said that he hates eggplant (eggplant is in the session band's name) lol It's like, the food he hates most in the world apparently Jack Caper played next. So Hiro and Suguru came back out. THEIR FURI. WTF. I cannot. I was so lost and like couldn't hear the beats very well? Like usually I pick up furi really easily, but it was confusing af haha. Musically it kinda just sounded like noise to me, but I think I might've just been distracted trying to do their furi. haha. They have one song that has something to do with India or something and we had to jump around in an almost bollywood way? Like it felt kinda racist haha but w/e I really liked their energy though! I wouldn't mind seeing them again ^^ Next was Miyuu and Chika's session band! They were super w/e about everything like no plans haha At one point Natsume even said something along the lines that Miyuu didn't plan anything out haha They walked out on stage with their arms around each other's shoulders to some kid music or something? It was really weird sounding, but definitely went with their theme of having "chill w/e fun" I guess. haha. They played a song called Butterfly? or something. I think it's a well-known song in Japan, but I'm not sure. And then they played a pokemon song haha like just everything about that session was ridiculous haha. Miyuu kept stating how lax their whole group was. It was nice to see them all getting along! Like I think all three bands really bonded throughout this tour <333 Miyuu was saying how naturally he started with the other two members of their session (^^) During their songs he was like "you wanna sing?" to Riku, but Riku backed away so Miyuu went and bothered Chika and made him sing randomly haha. Chika was so embarrassed but I guess he can't say no to Miyuu so he sang haha <333 Lezard played next. I haven't seen them in forever and it was a bit strange without a vocalist, but Kousuke and TACC did a good job! They kind of traded off a lot and even Natsume sang a few lines in one of the songs. I don't really know Lezard music so I can't really say much, but it was really fun! Other than the crazy Kousuke-fan that was next to me and my friend. We ended up moving to the row behind us cos she was going so crazy haha Lezard also said they're currently searching for a new vocalist. I hope they can find someone who suits them!! Yusuke's session was the last session band to play and omg. Yusuke in casual clothes. so. fucking. hot. I literally cannot. I pretty much died when he walked out on stage and so did his fans. hahah one girl was near tears, frantically calling his name. Like I'm pretty sure EVERYONE noticed her hahaha <3 Yusuke seemed to enjoy the attention though. I think they played two Johnnys songs? During the MC Kousuke was asking all the members which Johnny guy they'd want to be. Yusuke chose Kimutaku lol, but U and Hinata didn't know any Johnnys guys so they asked Kousuke to choose for them. Idk shit about Johnny's either so I don't remember who he chose, but apparently he chose good ones? lol. I think Kousuke said he'd want to be Aiba? They were being all dumb too pretending they were a Johnny's group at Tokyo Dome or some huge venue like "Is everyone enjoying themselves? How about you up on the 2nd floor? and the 3rd floor? and the 4th floor?" Like they were so convincing though I actually looked behind me like an idiot thinking there was a 2nd floor even though I knew there wasn't haha The second song they played was some song that apparently everyone knew but me. There was a lot of "SHE HA HA" or something in the chorus? idk it was pretty fun though. More like I had fun watching Yusuke cos I finally had a good view of him for once haha. He looks like he's having so much fun playing drums!!! Oh and like Kousuke was blowing kisses at everyone the whole time and all the girls just about wet their pants. haha When they finished and Yusuke came out from behind the drums he was blowing kisses too and everyone was dying haha. They seriously loved the attention <333 AND THEN FINALLY DANGAN!!! <33333333333 okay so like. I literally cannot. I'm basically super in love with Leo, Yusuke, and Miyuu after tonight (sorry Chika). I mean I was already in love with Miyuu, but wtf. Like. Leo is so hot wtf? How did I not notice him before?? And like, I didn't realize there were so many metal riffs in Dangan songs wtf. If you've never seen Dangan live you definitely should. They sound good recorded, but they are SO MUCH BETTER LIVE (okay I know I say that about all the bands I like, BUT IT'S SO TRUE) <3 And like, Leo actually seems pretty shy, but when he's playing guitar he's definitely not. He's totally in the zone. <333333333 And Miyuu is such a good front man!!! He's really good at looking around at the whole audience, but still singling you out once in a while so you feel special <3 He definitely pointed at me and sang a line to me <3333333 I love love love ii wake moratorium and Envy! Okay, who are we kidding. I love all of their songs. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. And like the band all looked like they were enjoying themselves too <3 AND LEO AND MIYUU GIVE SO MUCH EYE CONTACT WTF <3 I was shamelessly throwing hearts to both of them (and occasionally Yusuke, but he was hard to see through the stage smoke) and saku-ing them the whole time <33333 I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND! I hope they get more fans!!!! Oh! and Miyuu said that he SUPER likes singing Graffiti. I think it's the lyrics <3 And he was like "if anyone else sings it but me, it's not the same" or like "it won't be a song" or something like that. Like I think he just loves that song a lot haha <3 For the encore, Leo started talking and Miyuu was like "oh! you spoke! That surprised me!!" cos apparently the encore cheer was kind of weak so they considered just not doing the encore. I guess Leo asked the staff guy if they should just not, but the staff guy told Leo to come out and tell us instead. And Miyuu was like "tell them then?" so Leo just super matter of factly stated "the encore cheer was weak and we considered calling it quits" and Miyuu was like oh that's all? haha Leo made it sound like he had a lot to say, but that was really all it was haha For the encore they brought out all the bands. Because our encore cheer was so weak, Miyuu made us yell really loud for them to come out, though. Miyuu said "Rio" and we all had to yell "STAR" and then the rest of the bandmen came back out on stage. Hiro was missing though so they were like "where is he???" and he came from the back through the crowd and climbed up on stage haha but his face was all covered in makeup? marker? idk he looked really gross and all the bangya were like wtf??? lolol At some point he must've rubbed himself on Leo cos Leo had some of the blue/grey/green color on his cheek haha TACC and Kousuke are so dumb! They did like a dumb comedy routine that I can't really translate, but basically they were just being idiots and doing some dumb kind of dance thing haha. <333 First encore song was Sono uso hontou! YAYYYY <3333 LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG <3 It's even more fun when you have all the bandmen on stage doing the furi with you haha <333 second song was a Jack Caper song. It was their first time playing it live apparently. It was pretty fun! the switching between furi was a bit strange, but definitely easier than the songs they played during their set? Okay and I can't remember if it was the same song or for the Lezard song, but in one of the songs they had each bandman yell something they wanted the bangya to do. Like how they normally yell "ATAMA" right before a headbanging part? But instead they yelled some random shit haha Miyuu said to do (and also demonstrated) the dumb dance thing that TACC kept doing earlier haha Leo was like "no no no no" when they tried to get him to say something, but finally he said windmill headbang. <3 Chika was even worse. HE'S SO AWKWARD. He was like... "do something that feels like Chika?" and then he kinda stood their awkwardly then finally did a salute thing so we all kinda awkwardly saluted? haha all the bandmen were laughing at him haha Natsume's was ridiculous. I have no idea what he said, but he basically stood on the vocalist box and just like danced super sexily for his turn hahaha <3333 super hip action. I think all his gya died. lol and at some point someone called for a gyakudai and we did like 10+ gyakudai's I think. And like all the bandmen were pulling us and grabbing us/holding our hands/arms <333 One of the vocalists was like "If there's someone you wanna touch go touch him!!!" LOL can I just say LEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOLEO <3333333333 like honestly I made so much eye contact with Leo this whole live? <3 Did I already saw how much I love him??? lol and like during gyakudai, one of the times I was kinda further back, but he grabbed my wrist? and then hand? and then squeezed it??? <3333333333333333 And he grabbed my arm/hand a few other times? AND SO DID YUSUKE? and I cannot???? <333333333 Okay idk where the fuck Miyuu was during this. I think he stayed on shimote but LEOOOOO <333333 YUSUKEEEEEE <333333333 At one point Yusuke even squatted down with his arms out wide as if to say "I know you want me. Come and get me" and all the girls rushed at him and he looked so happy hahaha Oh and during the gyakudai Hiro kept handing out random stuff from the stage. Like I think he gave a girl a roll of duct tape? haha and he was taking apart one of those folding fans and sticking them in Leo's hair and during gyakudai he was handing out the wooden stick parts of the fan and then eventually even the cloth bit. He's so weird wtf haha <3 At the very end they wanted us to do some kind of pose. They had us choose between three different poses that I'm not really sure how to describe haha but Miyuu demonstrated all three and have us choose by clapping. like 6 ppl clapped for the first one and the 2nd and 3rd one had more claps but like not enthusiastic and the bandmen were like omg it's like you hate all of them hahaha so they asked one of the staff and he chose the 3rd one, which was us just saku-ing haha So the bandmen all yelled "RIO" and we yelled "STAR" and saku'd haha. And then we took a few photos <333 SOOOOO, in conclusion. You should all go see Dangan live <3333333333333 Just go support all the Riostar bands <3 They're all so fun! and here's some picspam from tonight! okay sorry/not sorry that was wayyyy longer than I was intending haha

just basing it on the fact that to my knowledge prior jrock concerts in estonia havent been very well-visited. i guess thats partially cuz only "literally who"-level artists like Orochi and such bother showing up here at all, since Helsinki's like.... a €15 boat ride away. altho i guess Tallinn has the plus of having a high concentration of russians lol so maybe it'll work out in sana's favor (well, it's a plus in this case, not in all others jej) so far it's just 7 ppl attending on fb tho, out of which 1 is sana himself and like at least 2 other people are organization/location staff as far as i can tell

@TatsuSanThat's actually significantly better than average in the VK world lol.

Wow I am surprised with the wisdom on this thread. Awesome MH way to show up. As a male I lost my virginity when I was 20. It was from a fling and I regret it deeply. 5 years later I am married and love my wife more than anything. I wish that I had waited for her, I wish that sex was a special thing between just us. My advice would be don't go rushing into it. And to be honest, the first time wont last that long and be a little bit of a let down (at least for us guys anyway). It's just not that worth it.

The last movie I watched fully was Sweeny Todd, and it was absolute rubbish, like most of Johnny Depp featured movies. Next I'm gonna watch a russian-mongolian film about Gengis Khan.

I don't know that there's been any additional thread for this, but they're doing a fanclub buffet lunch/nomihoudai on January 28th in addition to a two-man show with Pentagon on February 2nd!

I hate his face. That nosejob makes him look like Paris Hilton.

If now it's diapers, I'm not sure I wanna know what's next... That song is kinda cute tho.

Still surprised they've reunited so quickly. I get that Jupiter's hardly been a runaway success, but KAMIJO doesn't seem to be suffering - he could release a single of him just farting into a microphone for 4 minutes and still sell 20,000.

"Sherlock Holmes: a game of shadows". Saw it yesterday, on TV. As a die-hard fan of Doyle's work, I think that the trilogy is gud.

nothing pisses me off more than when the title track of a single is KILLER & then the other two songs are absolute shit. why u gotta tease me like that???

Basically me with every album I like

Just so you guys know this has leaked and has been on JPS for the last two weeks, in case anyone is interested, just sayin

me remembering the good old oshare days, i can dig this lol

This incident was just absolutely revolting. I've been seeing/hearing the whole "black ppl can't be racist" rhetoric around for years now (both on and offline) and as much as I understand and empathize with the pain and strife of living as a black person, I think this is an INCREDIBLY heinous notion that would be better off eradicated from the collective conscious. It's an idea that's yet to do any good for black people, or society as a whole - just like our vehement grip on "the N word" - where we've employed equally ridiculous double standards (but I guess that's another can of worms). I think this event serves as very unfortunate evidence that blacks can, indeed, be racist and hateful. I have no idea where this country is headed, but I can only hope that people wake up, start thinking for themselves, and stop subscribing to all of these extraordinarily divisive ideologies. I understand perfectly well how easy it is to get sucked up into the emotional aspects of everything, but I think it's important that we all try to remain grounded and suitably objective in these cases. I think we also have to stop allowing the media to rouse us into these states of utter chaos and letting them control the narrative - especially when the common good and the well-being of the people are not on their agenda. Seriously, I mean...the amount of hate that erupted when Trump won the presidency was staggering. Most of my friends on the left became as hateful and intolerant as the same people on the right that they were opposed to. But I digress. When it comes to race relations, we REALLY need to have some open and honest talks about it as a collective - free from political correctness, and free from everyone jumping at "racist" shadows. I do think there are racial differences, but it's become racist in and of itself to even mention or acknowledge these differences. It reminds me of when I posted a profile pic with my afro out on FB - a white woman commented saying that she'd like to touch my hair, and a black woman quickly chimed in with, "that's racist". See...this type of shit can't happen. I'm a black male - my hair is super thick, and extremely curly - it's a completely different grade and texture than that of your average white woman's hair. How could I fault her for being curious about how it feels? That doesn't make her racist at all. Hell, even if we were in person and she touched my hair without permission, that wouldn't be racist either - it would just be incredibly rude lol. We can't keep shutting down the conversation before there's even any dialogue. And this doesn't just go for black people, or white people, or leftists, or conservatives - this goes for everyone. There has to be some REAL effort in this country made for people to open up and truly try to understand each other, but as of now, I know a push like this will neither come from the government nor the media - there are too many people profiting off of the chaos, and too many people have careers depending on these divisive narratives.

You guys and gals should not worry about sex. Not gonna lie, it is good. Even casual sex is good. But you know what's really good? having an emotional attachment to the person you are having relations with. No thing comes even near that. Being in love and having this kind of relation is the best thing ever, and it's a necessary part of the human experience. What I'm trying to say is that you can take all the time you want, but do not let yourself get away from experiencing human relations in general. Love is the best thing out there, I know sometimes it's hard to open up to someone, sometimes being in love SUCKS, you get hurt and promise never doing that again, but that's all part of life. Try again, don't shut yourself in, there are tons of really great people around for you to know and enjoy their company and everything else.
