Tanuki thread: “About the era in which visual-kei was like a gang of jocks”
Komorebi and 5 others reacted to cvltic for a post in a topic
@nekkichi is correct, and it is also important to consider the culture of the boards as well. Even in the English-speaking world, a report of rape or murder or suicide will be presented in a much different way on Twitter or Tumblr than on say, 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica. Tanuki/2ch are extremely blase and candid about sordid topics and sounding "self-pitying" (for lack of better words) would be extremely frowned upon given the board's culture. It is not a nice place. People mock suicide victims and eagerly discuss their desire to commit child abuse. While I understand the reports are just as unverifiable as anything else on Tanuki, it seems irresponsible to make judgments on what a woman's report on this type of thing "should sound like", especially for those who are not familiar with the posting culture & for those who haven't experienced or witnessed the societal and scene-specific issues mentioned in the post above. -

2 pointsThis is not an exhaustive list of grievances, but it should do. MACABRE Why release one of the best ballads of your career in Ain't Afraid to Die, and then not include it on the album? Why does the album end with Zakuro and Taiyou no Ao, two of the most resident sleeper songs on the whole album? Wake is basically Luna Sea's Hurt. Why does the country bop Audrey get sandwiched between the prog behemoth of MACABRE and the thrash Rasetsukoku? Why is Deity four minutes long, and why does that minute and a half intro mean that Myaku has no intro or outro? Hotarubi is just boring. Where is children and why is it nowhere to be found on the album when that deep cut is better than most of the tracks I've mentioned? KISOU Why is the production paper thin? THREE instrumentals? Really? It's there to hide how disjointed the whole album feels and it doesn't do a good job. PINK KILLER is a terrible way to end the album. And it's not even the song that's bad, just the shoddy execution of it. tfw Zomboid's remix is better than whatever shit stain placed second on the album. embryo is snoozeville. I don't care how egregious the lyrics are, the rest of it is about as exciting as sleeping in a broken washing machine. Why are the best non-single tracks on the album not called Bottom of the death valley (24 Cylinders, Gyakujoutannou Keloid Milk) B-sides of the previously released singles? JESSICA comes out of nowhere and doesn't belong on an album so vulgar. The Domestic Fucker Family is just foochin' terrible and I don't think a re-recording could save that song, even if they went all in on the doom direction. I can go on and on with some other albums, but I think you get the idea.

why don't they just release this as a fucking full-length album instead of as a whole bunch of singles? Even the A and B types are pretty much completely different tracklist-wise other than the A-Sides -

kuyashii and one other reacted to nekkichi for a post in a topic
this entire comment considering japan's history with sekuhara and its patriarchal culture that doesn't promote any real sex ed and importance of consent is especially rich in the context of visual kei's heavy emphasis on sexual contact between artists and their fans -

I'm new here, I've been a JRock fan for about 12 years though. A member actually recommended I check this place out, Draincherry2021. :0) I am from the USA, though I've lived in Finland and Germany and traveled a lot. My favorite bands change with my mood but I've seen Dir en Grey live more than any other band. I suppose at this current moment, my top 5 J-Rock bands would be: 1. Matenrou Opera 2. Versailles 3. VIVARUSH, 4. The Raid 5. Moi Dix Mois But again, it changes pretty much daily. ^^ I'm looking to buy JRock stuff, I love buying bulk lots of stuff because its fun to discover new bands that way. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of me. -

I haven't been active in the fandom for years now but I recently tried to log in to Batsu and found it had died. Felt emotional, spent many happy hours on there with friends from all over the world. Might be for the best really, all those embarassing posts... Anybody from Fukkatsu, Batsu or jref on here? I'm glad to have found this site and to know the scene is still active. Can't wait to discover new music and rediscover old favourites. Love and peace x -

1 pointIt’s interesting that Deity is on the Decade collection. Even more interesting that they cut out the intro. Take back what you said about Hotarubi. Kisou is definitely problematic in many ways despite all the love it gets. It sounds absolutely awful. No mids and barely any lows. Most of the fast heavy tracks sound like someone flushing static down the toilet. Jessica probably belongs at the very end of the album if it needs to be there at all.

I still want to believe that the last two tracks were shit left on the cutting room floor while picking the tracks for the last singles campaign that they decided to include to sweeten the deal on the cash grab album. It also could be that they're just done, but who knows. Their looks have been getting worse and worse tho -

Well, I mean, 1999 was almost 20 years ago. Also, DEG was playing different music back then. -
1 pointFor the last 7 to 8 years (probably starting with DSS) Shinya’s drums sound like they’re programmed. When you consider that it seems like he has a hard time playing the heavier and faster songs at lives, it’s likely that they use some studio magic when they’re recording.

1 pointIt's almost entirely guttural, lots and lots of screaming and growling. A lot resembles the "Bring them to light" performances back in the day. I would say it's more The inferno than Midwife, because Midwife only become faster in its second half.

理由 me up! (理由 me up inside) What's the reasoning for that? With Ranunculus, the lyrics were on screen. For the other song, "I cannot love myself" (or sth like that) was audible and/or on screen, too. Kyotaku calls it "Punk's Not Dead", iirc. It's so confusing, all these new songs @.@ -

アルルカン (Arlequin): 10 Deep Cuts

No "Douke no hana", no like -
1 pointUpdate after 2 weeks: These are fucking amazing. I don't even know where to begin describing how these babies sound. Using audiophile jargon, if I were to compare them to the HD600s, I'd say they are less "bright", and more "full". Compared to my HD6XXs, it's definitely a more wild child as the upper mids are strong as hell, and let loose the more you drive them, probably due to the low impedance. It's got a fresh sound, with like a "grip" on the bass, and so it doesn't sound like it spills over. Defintely not as smooth as the HD650/HD6XX in terms of sound, as it's very lively, which is definitely good for rock music. I wish I had a pair of HD660S' to try out but I don't . I have heard that is sound just like it, and that the only major difference is that the HD660S is smoother and more true to sound. In any case, I'd definitely say I scored big time for these with the price of $150, and I even got a low serial number from the first production run lol.
