Yup, I completely understand all of this. I personally draw the line at Nazi music (Störkraft, Landser etc., if you know any of those). Dunno how I would react if any of the artists I like turn out to be rapists or something alike. Luckily, it hasn't happened so far... I think. But I definitely make a distinction between music and artist. I'd even go as far as saying "I like them as musicians, but not as humans". But defending someone's vile actions because you like the artist is just plain wrong (like Chris Brown fans or those mumble rapper fans do, for example).

You already bought them, don't be dumb.

Hiya guys, so my thread title seems weird and idk if this is an alright topic but lol do you guys listen to bands and wherein you sometimes use them when you're doing specific things? Like for example: UNSRAW - listen to them when I sleep or sometimes study Juliadoll - for daydreaming LM.C - when doing chores The GazettE - Songs are divided, I listen to some when I'm sad and others when I'm angry SCREW - all around band, I listen to them on any occasion though not recently since their disband since I cry whenever I listen to them lol ViViD - for when I'm in need of inspiration Satsuki - for studying, sometimes daydreaming (from his first songs up to Horizon only) So far, that's what I have for now. What about you guys? Are there specific bands that you listen to when you're doing specific things? I'd especially love some recommendations if you guys also listen to other VK bands whilst studying lol

Noooo! Mathilda must stay strong.

You should add "-ed" to "depart" ^^

I was literally just on his Satsuki web OHP the other day and now it’s not even available. Or at least it is but it states he hasn’t verified his email...? His new OHP needs work. It’s ugly AF and you can tell he made it himself. Instead of whoring his Etsy-style jewelry and self-released albums maybe, I don’t know, make a page introducing yourself and who you are, list your discography, your scheduled shows and make it easier to contact you. He’s pulling a Yoshiki. Except no one knows who Satsuki is and probably has one fan club member. As much as I looked up to him during the ReS days, he’s almost an embarrassment now at this point and it’s sad to see his downfall.

He is free to do what he wants with the CD, but 1) his music does not advocate for being like him 2) More people other than him also make that music likeable. I don't like kisaki or his music in any special way, sometimes at all. But I really don't think a work he contributed to is suddenly worse because he turned out to be much more terrible as a person than anyone expected.

I'm so excited!! And the wait isn't that far anymore, since it comes out next month.

This is where I draw the line, though. I've never felt this way before with any artist scandal and shrugged off his tax evasion nonsense. I'm not going to turn a blind eye to scum if these allegations prove true. As much as I liked some of his music. Also, it's 4 discs total y'all, lets not assume I'm about to throw out his entire discography or something. I'm not some kind of moral elitist thinking everyone who doesn't is stupid. It's just a decision I'm making in regards to what I want represented in my collection. These allegations are no joking matter to me. There are serious long term-lifelong mental repercussions to the victims involved here if true that it makes me nauseous even thinking about it.

I mean it is possible to like music but dislike the musician. It's not like they are inseparably connected.

Choosing not to have any trace of you supporting a blatantly shit person>>>>>>>> Being called dumb for doing so TBH. Some of y’all really showing ya asses in the name of Kisaki (of all ppl) huh? Yikes.

We can always make our own samples next week.

Really, really amazing. Love these photos.

Nice to hear people like them! Their full lineup for the upcoming Korea/Japan shows has been revealed:

I know Kyuho and he's a really nice guy. Even though Black Metal isn't really my thing, I like how Madmans Esprit does it.

I dont know him before ... but he's sound really interressing =). Thanks you for this discovory .

Hello! I have copy number 14 of the DVD. It contains a concert, but actually much more. Two PVs (Fleur and ROMANCIA), the Fleur is much better then the VHS release we only have, it contains many many pictures in a slideshow that were released nowhere else, over 100. It also contains a slideshow of lots of unseen concert footage, but with just a song over it. And it contains excerpts of yet another major era concert, with about 15 seconds per song, it has Billet in that! The only live Billet footage there is. This DVD just shows as a love letter how much love KAMIJO has for his fans, he didn't have money to print any more copies probably, because he had to print more compilation CDs at that time like Imperial Concerto, but it's still a big love letter. Good news, I PUT A PART OF IT ON YT!! Share it like widefire guys. But I love this DVD so much, it's my favourite part of my collection besides their 1st demo tape (100 limited), and I want it to keep it's huge value among collectors, being sold for 100s the rare times it shows up, so I'm not going to put anymore online. BUT I'm going to make an entry of this DVD in Discogs with a detailed tracklist guys I'm already doing a lot for the fanbase by giving info and that one vid, cus there's litirally NO info at all about this at all on the internet besides the Puresound entry. Oh yes, if you have this DVD, YA BETTER NOT SHARE IT TOO It must stay valuable. And OMG I read your long post about their disbandment! This made me sooo sad.... I already knew some of this but not with this much detail! I always knew LAREINE had so much love for each other and their fans, even though I hear people sometimes say KAMIJO is an asshole. Or even a few posts before that they didn't like each other LOL. APPLAUSE RECORDS was the only reason why LAREINE could still make music, I'm so grateful KAMIJO made it when he still had money in Fierte era. And their late era music has so much gems! Imperial Concerto, Sakura, Drama, 愛されていた日々-Ever Love-, 月の狩人, basically the whole Winter Romantic EP, but there's a lot of just good and some decent tracks too so that's why people think it. But I've listened to NEVER CAGE and Imperial Concerto sooo much times, hundreds that I love it all hahaha. Only 眠れぬ恋は真珠 I actively dislike and avoid. It might be one of the worst LAREINE songs ever lol. I didn't know they actually COULDN'T find a drummer, that's soo sad! 😢 Also almost ALL releases of LAREINE after 2003 are expensive ASF and rare and rarely show up: NEVER CAGE, the main album of that time is rare, the three versions are all three rare, normal, Deluxe and Limited... The main singles: Trailer, Sakura, Drama and Sakura -Second Season-, 雪恋詩, 道化師の舞曲 and Cinderella Fantasy are rare too! It's exeptional that these are on puresound at the moment actually, they're KINDAAA overpriced, but are still expensive items. And let's not talk about Best Album Ballad and Fleur, Imperial Concerto, Winter Romantic, Deep Forest, 白蝶 and 女王という名の貴公子 that are each worth over 100.... A prime example of releasing REALLY GOOD music on limited batches of prints. They actually also had a revival of the Fleur fanclub magazine in 2004 that had a few issues, these seem to be so rare that I've never ever seem them on sale. Heck, even the Fleur magazines from the major era BARELY go on sale... I'm dreaming of ever seeing a Bara wa live performance, question: Did they perform this and Billet in their late era concerts? Or songs like ピンクの傘 and パリは秋色 from Fierte, two of my favourites and sooo underrated. Sadly these four are not on the THE LAST OF ROMANCE I DVD main concert. And some good info: I'm working on a huge LAREINE fansite! With scans of every release booklet, a full discography AND miscellanous items like the many many message CD/VHS/Tapes, lots of information, magazine and book scans! It's sitll in early stages so no link yet, but I will make a topic and a new LAREINE thread here (this one's from 2007 lol) when it's close to done and presentable! Using a paid domain and a very good Wordpress theme with many plugins. I think I am very fitted to make the website since I own almost every item ever except the FC magazines that I barely own. Inertla thank you so much for your post!! Can I use info of it in my site? I will credit you! This might also be my favourite post on this whole site lol! Bye Also if anyone is wondering why Reine de fleur I and II sound so weird, it's because it's a compilation of pre-BLUE ROMANCE LAREINE except for Detest Off Doll and a version of Féerie. KAMIJO's voice was completely untrained in some of the songs on it. When I first started listening and downloaded Reine de fleur I and II I was also very confused by this LOL. I put on 季節風 and Dir en gray at random and was like "WTF??" lol

If it's around 50 minutes, let's do some math. Ningen is 3:45 (3.75 for math's sake) Ranunculus is about 4 mins Utafumi is 3:11 (3.25 for math's sake) Subtract those, we're left with 39 minutes distributed between 10 songs. That leaves us with an average track length of about 3:50 Unless there's a few 1 minute songs, it doesn't look like there will be any Vinushka's in here.

Surprised to find out that this is a serious band. Thought it was a parody tbh.
