looks like the government is finally cracking down on visual kei

Can't they arrest someone from a shittier band instead

NONONONONONONONO NOT CHANTY THEY DONT DESERVE THIS apparently shia's an airhead so i guess he had it coming hurrrdurrrr

I don't think the contents of the photos/LINE messages are all that relevant, though. Private information is private information. I wouldn't want people sharing my photos or the conversations I have with my friends on LINE to the world and I'm a nobody. Privacy is an even bigger issue for people in the entertainment industry. Even if no one on MH cares about LONDBOY, the band has a decent enough following in Japan so I could understand Rio not wanting people to spread his private life around. Especially since having a significant other often very negatively affects the career of an entertainer/musician in Japan. I mean a few years ago there was that AKB girl who shaved her head to apologize to her fans for a having a boyfriend.

except you can't be a rape apologist when there's no rape (other than in the little fantasy world you created for yourself when facts didn't go your way)

LEZARD new single will be released at 2017/7/26, although further details have not been announced.

i've seen the following speculated on tanuki... it sounds like they really don't know anything 1. drugs 2. stat rape (with Rio's case there was no way people wouldn't guess this tho) 3. ore ore sagi it's very interesting to me that like lynch. with Akinori, Chanty has seemed to be able to dodge the press for now. i really wonder what separates cases like Rio's from cases like Shia's but at this point i have nfi

Feels so weird without seeing Yuki and Masashi with them....

Until he is caught lying you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he is caught lying, either the police or the girl in question will dispute his version of the events with undeniable facts very shortly. I still see no proof that he intended any harm to this girl with his penis, and instead thought he could leverage his position as a band member to get easy pussy. It's creepy as fuck, shady, and very suspect, and it probably happens a lot more than we care to admit, but it doesn't automatically make him guilty. It just makes him stupid, horny, and desperate. And none of what he did absolved the girl of any blame either - I just have even less details on her so I can't say anything yet. None of us can, so there's no point getting emotionally invested in this. The real detail I want to know is what they were questioning RIO about for him to willingly divulge information about this girl and that this kind of slip up could even occur. There is a lot more to this story than the media is willing to let on.

Kamijo doesn't look like a washed up 80s rocker so I don't get why people are claiming Zin is trying to be him. He doesn't even look aristocratic this time. If he did, then you could say he's a budget Kamijo because right now I'm not seeing the similarities. And I'm not feeling this look. It's like they all belong in different bands.

👻~Horror Music Videos~👻 Music videos inspired by the vast horror genre/aesthetic are an interesting phenomenon, even being created by some pop artists. Post some of your favorites and discuss! Here are a few of mine: Wampire - The Hearse Love the garish lighting and 80s vibe! Kiryu - 百鬼夜行 (hyakki yakou) 11/10 cinematography and art direction make for a unique, otherworldly PV. Keane - Disconnected Still confused that this exists--an unexpected video! Some Shelley Duvall Shining vibes from the lead actress. Steady Holiday - Terror A bit more subtle than the rest, but it's my favorite recent example, featuring some kind of gnarly tentacle vermin.

Hate and love what music does to me. What bands do to me. Having all dem feels and no feels at all. Like srsly, y?

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST - SUICIDE Only one CD this month for me, I'm poor (._.)

I hope it's something small like drunken disorderly conduct...

Outro ninja de alguma aldeia perdida. T.M REVOLUTION ai vamos nós =)

like please! this is the proper buzzkill i swear to god if he got booked for anything more than parking tickets or weed i'll fly to japan and smack the full stop out of his name myself

yea esp with jp and their privacy laws or just a greater perceived respect for private property, i can't see why he wouldn't want to try and do damage control tbh what she had was most likely some irrelevant private convos (prolly trashing fans), purikura or nekkid sleep picz and that isn't a big deal in itself but she must have been incessant on pissing them off and so they said fak u bitch 911 halp! n then the police probably wanted more deets and as he spilt the deets about why the chick wanted rio 4 dead they realized he was a deviant vrocker and so they SLAPPED on those fucking charges

the only right answer for this is backstreet boys - everybody, my dear fito...

Now this looks like some kind of damage control, and probably the best decision he could've made imho. If the blogs are true, then he probably wasn't aware that the girl was underage (fake ids or not), and when he saw the shit was about to hit the fan, he went for spilling the beans upfront. Maybe there were dick pics or words that sounded like he was enticing minors and such. Going to the police not only ensures he is not avoiding responsibility, but shows he is willing to make himself available for questioning and follow up. it goes a long way on making the authorities trusting your story

Yes, but go deeper. What were the contents of these photos and LINE messages which were enough for him to get the police involved? There wouldn't be a threat involved unless there were some gravity to these pictures.

because rapists have never lied about their crimes before i'd rather be that than a rape apologist so go for it hun!

I don't feel an inkling of sympathy for him. As many people here have said before, many bandmen have made these same mistakes, you would think others would see this and be more careful? This ain't his first offense either, apparently so I'm starting to think he's a pedo. So yeah. Continue blaming your bandmen's stupid failures on the coo coo fangirls, when the bandmen, the actual adults, should be a lot more careful since their livelihood and freedom is on the line. Btw: sorry if I sound bitter, it isn't to anyone here in particular but I saw a shitstorm of FB comments borderline defending Rio and I legit wanted to combust

LONDBOY has also announced that they will have a oneman live on the 15th, but they're not including Rio (???) ....

New band "CATALYST" has formed Vo. 優(yuu) Gt. 冴月(satsuki) Gt. 凱夜(gaiya) Ba. 鈴音(rinne) their first live will be at 2017/06/22 at Ikebukuro RUIDO K3 at which their live-limited single "A GLEAM OF HOPE" will be released https://www.catalyst-band.com/

'Bonus Track' by DEViL KiTTY Lyrics: Bonus track Optional lyrics *insert tears and rage of fans who actually spent extra money on this*

That's the interpretation I roll with too. But if one is to deny the official story as it stands right now because RIO is an unreliable source, then more information is required. I'm suggesting constructive avenues of discussion which I think are relevant and on topic in lieu of baseless accusations.

wouldn't the simpler explanation be that it's a clear-cut case of harassment, and Rio went to the police to attempt to get the girl to stop circulating the contents and/or have them removed? (the phrasing in the blog was "[The girl with whom I was involved] started exposing photos from the time we were together. The police launched investigations when I consulted them on this matter, which led to this incident.") so it wasn't the case that Rio felt compelled to go to the police to "turn himself in" for something that he knew would be eventually exposed in a bid to get a more lenient sentence (at least, nothing in the information we currently have is indicative of this scenario). if the information about the fake ID is correct, he wouldn't have been aware that he had flouted the law in the first place since he thought the girl was of legal age.

a true professional

To me, where there is smoke there is fire. Band members having intimate pictures leaked by their fans is nothing new (see Danchou from NoGoD) and it hasn't ruined a career before - but it's interesting to me that RIO felt so pressured that he had to get the police involved. And that's before the whole pedophilia angle came into it. That indicates that the contents of these messages/photos may have some gravity to them and are key to understanding this situation. Their existence is also complicating, since if one or more parties are naked in it he could be convicted of a crime. Discussing these elements of the case until we get more facts is a more fruitful use of our internet time than blindly branding one or more parties as a slut or rapist, which topics like these are always in danger of turning into. Whatever information I wish to know is going to come out in an inevitable court case, so my feathers aren't too ruffled about invading his privacy.

That's true, but I doubt the messages/photos were anything that drastic. I mean the girl had already spread stuff on the internet. And since the police were involved, I would assume they took a look at the messages/photos in question and didn't consider them to be harmful to the girl or Rio probably wouldn't have been released. Or maybe I'm missing your point? Do you mean that you think he should divulge the messages/photos to the general public? If so, I think I just disagree with that. If you're simply wondering why he got the police involved in the first place, I stick by what I said in my previous post. Rio's an entertainer and things can get crazy when fans get a hold of private information, regardless of what that information is. Plus, he's a VK guy and most VK guys don't like to show themselves w/o makeup/their hair done etc. and they generally don't like to divulge too much personal info so it could've been as simple as that. I mean if you look at their profiles on their home pages, basically they only tell you their name, birthday, blood type and what brands they like lol. So I mean, they obviously want to keep as much personal information to themselves as they can?

Rio has updated his blog with an apology + details on what happened http://ameblo.jp/londboy-rio/entry-12265363536.html //EDIT: LONDBOY's official blog has also updated: http://ameblo.jp/londboy/entry-12265361855.html Apparently Rio went to the police because the girl had been circulating their photos online when he wanted to part ways with her, upon which they found out that she was actually underage. Previously the girl had shown Rio an ID which indicated that she wasn't below 18, but it surfaced during the investigations that she had been passing off another person's ID as her own. Because of this incident Rio will abstain from band activities until further notice.

don't ever tell me what to do, the last time i got into one of these i made k_m divulge his deep secrets about money for kawaii rendezvous 👀

I really like it but i wished Jey to sing with his beautiful high voice in the chorus. Here, concerning the voice, it doesn't vary that much and i prefer when he sings higher in some parts of the song(*-*)

Did anyone say VRZEL? Hi, welcome to the forum! I hope you have fun around. I'd be cool to see you post sometime

I've got a call from a company I really want to work at and got invited for a job interview there next week! + I'm still really happy that I was able to meet the members of GYZE again after two years

God Damn It Vkei, bandomen cannot stay away from bangya pussy. Like seriously, learn from past mistakes of other bandmen..lmao cause this seems to be a cycle. Like seriously do bandmen just see headlines of oher vkei guys getting locked up from shit like his and go "a durr he got locked up for getting that underage bangya poo-nanny, let me do the SAME EXACT thing, nothing could go wrong right?". Either mess with fans your age or something cause these underage girls like to take advantage as a ploy for blackmailing or just sabotaging the band itself. OR HERES AN IDEA...GO MEET SOMEONE WHILE YOURE NOT LOOKING LIKE MR.KAWAII GUITARIST KUN WIH ALL THAT MAKE UP ON BBY. LMAO ^LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKE RIO

MAKE CRIMINAL KEI GREAT AGAIN

My man

i'm enjoying playing bass, even if i'm not good. this is a major thing for me, being a perfectionist who gives up on most hobbies because i'm not good at them first try. i haven't enjoyed a hobby/had any productive interests in at least half a year. i'm just too damn hard on myself. but with bass, i'm just letting go and having a great time. great decision on my part for wanting to play this instrument. plus, i'll be getting lessons sometime this week, so who knows? maybe one day i'll actually be good at this instrument and enjoy it even more.

KRAD – SKELET PARANOID≠CIRCUS - ENIGMA Black Sirene - Seirēnes/Erase *although the cover artwork is as much diy as it gets but at least they printed something on the CD-R which is pretty nice actually*
