Nah, I think the rest of them are cool. Way back in the day when Dir en grey played those three shows in a row in NY, a lot of people were camped out and the tour bus was basically directly beside the line. More than once, Die would be coming and going and never seemed to have a problem acknowledging the fans/occasionally chatting with them. Then the night before the last show when it was pouring rain on everyone, Kyo went around with their translator giving everyone hot tea.

Many years ago, I started to learn japanese because I wanted to get a visual kei boyfriend

Of course there are, here I am hehehe one of the biggest fans I guess? following Kirito steadily since around 1996-97. My confession is that I dislike X Japan.. not interested at all in them.

I saw Dir en grey in Portland in 2008. I was so stoked to finally see them and they were my favorite band at the time. The show was really mediocre though. Aside from the crowd being filled with a lot of hardcore weeb girls, the band themselves just didn’t seem that into it. After the show, Shinya and Toshiya were signing and bc of where I had been standing, I miraculously ended up being first in line. At the time, I’d never had a CD signed before aside from handouts at local shows in my hometown that came in paper cases and I didn’t realize that I had to unwrap the CD before they’d sign it. The bouncer told me to go to the back of the line, so I very quickly scrambled to open the wrap. I managed to do it p fast, and Toshiya was laughing a little bit. Idk if he thought it was funny or if I was an idiot. Shin ya didn’t seem at all interested in anything. I tried to thank him for signing the CD, but he just looked away and snubbed me. After that, I kinda stopped liking Diru. It felt like the magic was gone. Tbh I’ll listen to their new music, but I always feel like I’m just not into it now.

Damn, this song is so good. Someone posted the Japanese lyrics on the music video on YouTube so I went ahead and wrote up the romaji and an English translation. The original lyrics are quite vague and conceptual as is the case with Japanese but I did my best to lace everything together. Any feedback/suggestions welcome! --- Kanji Romaji English

無能なルシッド (Munou na Lucid) Gu.依癒 (Iyu) has departed at 2019/3/19 due to wanting to focus on his family's business.

Made an account a couple days ago and have been scoping out the place, so maybe I should finally post an introduction. I was very much into VK in college, something like a decade ago. I still listen to songs off and on again but lately I've been checking out all sorts of bands and feeling nostalgic so here I am. It just makes me really happy that some of my old loves are still around/have returned like Psycho le Cemu, cali≠gari, and Plastic Tree. Aside from from that, my great loves are dogs, anime, and books. I work at a public library and read all the baking books and graphic novels I can get my hands on. I love planning crafts for programs and the teen anime club which I co-host. Really, I just like making anything so cosplaying is another hobby that suits me perfectly. Current favorite book is Annihilation and my favorite movie is From Dusk Till Dawn. And a quick question while I'm here! What's the stance on necro'ing threads? I saw the, "don't necro old threads unless you are providing new, updated information" line in the rules. Is there a limit to how many threads I can respond to in rapid succession because I'm that overly talkative type as you can tell from this introduction?

something about his voice i really like and also annoys me at the same time but whatever im down with it

Interesting title! According to Japanese Wiki, "Roneve" is the alternate spelling of the name of this dude right here. Hopefully we'll get a tracklist soon too!

Yesterday i have take the elevator for back at home because i live in a palace and while i was inside the elevator i have heard screams come far away underground and the elevator was become hot so i have push the stop botton and i am escaped from the elevator i couldn't breathe my breathe was gone away and i have had fatigue to breathe half day , the palace stay becoming infested from the Ghosts and certainly no one will do something but only if something happen someone do something, i will not take the elevator i go at home walking on the stairs for my safety is the first time that something like this is happen to me scary time of my life 💜😘

I still want Moran back tho

They are in a dire need of a hiatus, for a year, at least, because this is getting worse and worse. The new Youtuber bullshit is just a cherry on top of all that trashpile. It feels like BPR wants to milk out every last yen, 'til Mahiro actually goes blind.

The instrumentation is perfect but Karma’s voice ain’t it. It sounds very forced. His style is one of those that you have to write the music around or else it clashes, but that’s just my opinion lol

Tbh I like Dir en grey, but I’m not big on Shinya. He’s always read cold to me, and at first I thought maybe he was just shy or not a huge fan of meet and greets, which is whatever - but then we were both at the same party once, and when I went to say I was a big fan of his band, he literally pretended I wasn’t even there. I mean straight up, I even did that awkward thing where I repeated myself because I wasn’t sure if he hadn’t heard me or not, lol.

That sucks. It's possible that he really is that mean, but I wonder if he was just having a bad day? I hope it's the latter. 😕

I actually really love the vocals, really compliments the style of the song. Really excited to listen to the mini-album.

btw what eve helped with is "vocal direction", i dont have a clue how it should be called in english, but it seems its when you, like, give advice on singing lol

Thanks for the warm welcome, all! Excellent, thanks for the heads up! Oh boy, so many. Current season my favorites are Yakusoku no Neverland, Tate no Yuusha no Narigari, Kaguya-sama, Dororo, and Atama no Ue. Favorites ever? Utena, Mononoke (series), Uchuu Kyoudai, Kagurahime, Hunter x Hunter, and Natsume Yuujinchou. How about you? I didn't even know there was a term for cali≠gari, how lovely! I especially like big dogs with their silly giant heads. But all pups are good!

I love your threads, you always make the most interesting threads. do you live in a palace like Gackt? I think it's really cool. I also think Mana-sama and Kamijo-sama live in palaces. maybe they live in castles.

as if they couldn't get any worse, they now have 2 vocalists Vo.Saw (ex-Magistina Saga (on Gt.)) has joined on 3/23

Dude should have sung into a mic in that PV to make it look less awkward. All these guys need to work on the performance part of performing. Too robotic. I was watching -OZ-'s Detox PV before watching this PV and the difference in energy of performance is like night and day. Song is alright. Kinda boring. I don't know if Hizaki wrote this, but it sounds like every Hizaki song I've ever heard. While not awful, it feels generic.

+10000∞ HIZAKI, can you stop this before it's too late?

This isn't so bad in theory but it drags on for so long it becomes forgettable.

my poor ears...

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I would call this anything but generic (and I listen to a metric fuckton of -core music). Each instrument in each part of the song is expertly layered in the mix and they complement each other perfectly. No repetitive drumming patterns, outstanding guitarwork with some nice tones, a little bit of ambiance here and there, with a competent vocalist on top of it all. The only thing missing is just a little bit more grit in the vocals, maybe some screams, but it's still an amazing song anyway. I'm really excited to hear more.

THIS But it's not just men. It's women, too. It's everybody. Most people simply do what they were taught to do, whether they learned directly or indirectly. And I'm not talking about academics - I'm referring to how we're being taught to live in general. When you look at society as a whole, particularly western society - it's clear that what we're doing isn't working...that what we've been learning (and subsequently acting out) isn't good enough. We live in a society that perpetuates, encourages, and even rewards dysfunction. So is it any wonder that we're all depressed, anxious, and stressed out of our minds? These are things WE'RE ALL affected by. This also raises the question: What and how are we being taught? Do we even have the tools to better educate ourselves? If so, what are they? .... Ya know, I've gotten shit for saying negative things about feminism before, as people are quick to assume that anti-feminism = anti-woman or anti female-empowerment, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous. But I'm of the opinion that all of these different social movements can go...be it feminism, men's rights activism, red pill, MGTOW, black lives matter...whatever the fuck. They all appear to be well-meaning movements on the outside, but as they say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" - and ultimately, these movements seem more like dysfunctional solutions to a misdiagnosed problem. It's like trying to cure a cancer patient with cyanide. Meanwhile, they actually have AIDS . Sure, your *intentions* may be to cure the patient (which is great), but your actions are just introducing more toxic elements to an already deteriorating structure - the cause of which has not been fully explored. So from what I can tell, the real problem seems to be much deeper...and it transcends both men and women, black and white, rich and poor, etc. Whatever it is, it effects society as a whole. And society isn't some nebulous thing. It does exist outside of us, yet we all make up society individually as well. So if men are lost (and we definitely are), would that not also imply that the whole is lost as well? So all I'm saying is that perhaps we should endeavor to take a more balanced and holistic approach to viewing and scrutinizing these important social issues, instead of blindly entertaining all of these divisive ideologies that constantly pit one group of people against the next. Meanwhile, the whole suffers. How is society going to get anywhere if the right leg is constantly at war with the left? The body needs both of them to walk properly. And so I'm glad that @Zeus brought that point out, because it offers an additional perspective (without demonizing other perspectives) and shows that there's often more going on beneath the surface than we might be willing to explore. These are complicated issues.

Once I was front row center for the band I went to see at a smaller venue and the vocalist had a minor wardrobe malfunction. He had set up a light underneath the step up so he could look all cool and shit, but he was wearing a long black skirt so all it did was light up everything underneath like a lampshade so I had a front row view of his underwear for an hour. I never told him because I didn't want to embarrass him, but I guess he figured it out cause he never tried to do that again.

I've tried to get into this band so many times but to me they just feel like a worse version of DIAURA. I'm still going to check this out though because it shows some promise (like all they're stuff I guess though).

M.F.JAP by Deviloof is somehow my 4th most listened to song of all time and I quote it's lyrics more regularly than I'd like to admit

Great, now I'm not gonna be able to not do that. I used to have a looped audio clip of Kamijo screaming "NYAAAAH" as my alarm. I once just snoozed it without actually turning it off and I heard it from downstairs about nine minutes after I got up, so I had to run upstairs and turn it off before I woke everyone in the house up.

the closest thing i've ever heard to a full X JAPAN song is a cover by an idolm@ster girl i saw one of my favorite bandmen on a date in public and hid behind a clothing rack so he wouldn't notice me

They have fans???

I don't like the GazettE's Dogma and Ninth. Well to be honest, anything released after Toxic. People on facebook told me that's because I don't like ''Dark heavy music''. Hmmm. I laughed at that.

I don't give a shit about X Japan. I've never listened to them and I have no desire to start.

i firmly believe every single story posted on tanuki is true even when they contradict w/ other stories posted on there

I like that Sho uses harsh vocals for the appropriate lyrics. I mean the “I want to flush your goddamn torn up tiny pieces down the toilet” part is the perfect line for the way he delivers it.
