5 pointsThis has become a major life goal for me! I could imagine nothing more beautiful, noble, and rewarding than marrying, starting, maintaining, and nourishing a family. Kids are wonderful and they're a blessing to be sure - you can learn a lot from them. I look forward to both the challenge and the privilege of hoisting that level of responsibility onto my shoulders, and I'm excited to see the man that I'll grow to be through it.

Hi guys~ :3
Miku70 and one other reacted to Rica34rica for a post in a topic
Hi guys~ Im Rica and I have been a guest on this forum for a few years, and finally decided to join the family and introduce myself. I am 19 and I'm from Hong Kong(yup, technically part of China but also not really!!). This forum is so useful and informational. I started liking Visual Kei at about 2015, youtube recommended me Kiryu's Amaterasu MV out of nowhere. And I have been in the circle since. I'm not a really active bangya, since I couldnt travel for lives; I got my friends to bought a few CD for me from Japan when they go travelling. Personally, I dont know anyone who know visual kei around me, since it is a very very niche thing in HK. I can only tell my sister and to few of my close friends. So it's great that I know there is a forum like this where I can talk about and read about things that I love. I am actually going to travel to Tokyo next week and I am super excited about it, too bad non of my favs have any lives during my stay :(. (sorry if i am too long-winded, im a bit excited). Few of my favorite bands are(in no specific order): Kiryu they got me into this whole thing, DIV heart broken when they disbanded but was predicted since their last single was uneventful to say the least, MejiBray still hasnt got excited about the 8psb thing, Clowd sad that they disbanded as well, Royz only for their music occasionally and for the kami- Subaru, Arlequin love their music and getting their songs on spotify is really appreciated, The Raid got into them recently because of kabukicho rainy, love their music and the vocalist's voice Unite. like their song style occasionally, came across them because they are in the same company as DIV Babykingdom their songs are so catchy and shogo is so cute~ (not sure if it is a guilty pleasure here)... 零[hz] here for their personalities, mainly cuz they are in BPR Kizu love love love their music I also listen to other bands based on the songs, I'm mostly into Vkei for the music to be honest. Other than vkei, also have an unexplainable love for Motely Crue, Queen, and any other songs occasionally popular to millennials these days. I am so happy to be here~ and nice to meet you guys~ guess im talking too much for an introduction post looking forward to be educated about band dramas and news, since i dont really know japanese and am very unfamiliar with fandoms. -

Nighttime Jae and one other reacted to jon_jonz for a post in a topic
I keep seeing VK stores getting the axe, magazines ceasing publication and very few bands joining spotify, putting their songs up on YouTube and stuff like that. Looks like streaming services will be the final nail in the coffin for VK as whole. Tragic, but it serves them right for always being so greedy and narrow minded in terms of business and reaching out to the fans, mostly foreigners. -

Honest opinions on K POP?
monkeybanana4 reacted to colorful人生 for a post in a topic
I used to dislike K-pop w/ golden-era bands (late-2000's - early-2010's) b/c I found the songs to be really "robotic" and anthemic. The motifs that pervaded western pop + kpop like heavy autotune, techno, metallic design, heavy eyeshadow, etc. weren't really my thing. This current generation of K-Pop I find is a lot more diversified in a musical sense w/ producers + composers playing with more experimental genres/sub-genres. Now, K-Pop bands will use wonky, moombahton, tropical house, 80's, r&b, etc. influences that I really vibe with. I do enjoy 1st generation and early-2nd generation (90's + early 2000's) as well, but that's because of the generally melodic pop sound at the time. Here were some of my gateway songs (I find groups w/ artsy or androgynous concepts to be good segues from vk. Now, musically, you won't be in the same territory, obv.): Korean phonetics used to be a huge barrier for me, but after listening to enough Korean, I got used to it. I find a lot of the newer K-Pop I'm interested in heavily tied to my interest in certain EDM genres (I use "EDM" in this case as a blanket-term for all electronic music.) --- Now, I certainly haven't gotten used to the rabid, but dedicated fanbase K-pop groups have, and I don't really participate in much of the online banter + fan activities either. Over-exploitation, while obviously inexcusable, is rampant in both K-pop and J-pop (and elsewhere.) I find the J-idol exploitation a lot more sinister than K-pop (namely the "black companies" and sexual exploitation), but then again, that's just what we know of in the public sphere. I like a lot of indie J-pop and solo-artists, but I find a lot of the mainstream Japanese idol groups to be really corny/insufferable. I also find the groups to be more focused on homogeneity than individuality. I'm generalizing a bit when I say that, though. I'd say, discover music on a band-to-band basis rather than focusing on just genres (the popular bands/groups of a genre) if you really want to open yourself to different things. A certain niche band might be the first domino that catalyzes your future discoveries and interest in the larger genre. *I've been referring to K-pop in the "group"-sense, so I forgot to mention K-indie and solo acts. I feel like J-indie is a bit more diverse, but both have a similar feel. There's such a huge rift between mainstream K-pop and indie to where I treat them like separate genres. I feel like Korean media always pushes to the extreme the groups from the big labels over indie acts. (Probably because the big five play huge economic roles in SK, wheras JP labels aren't as pronounced in the economic-sense idk Avex, Sony, and Johnny's numbers tho. SK has always been kinda corporatocratic, idk if that's an appropriate way to describe it.) -

Honest opinions on K POP?
karai · ebi reacted to psychonnect_rozen for a post in a topic
I have a friend who loves K-Pop and we often make fun of each other. Sometimes, I would joke around and say "DIR EN GREY IS SUPERIOR AND ALL VISUAL KEI BANDS ARE BETTER THAN KPOP!!!" and she would just retaliate, all just for jokes lol. She actually despises the fandom honestly lol. As for pop, the only artists that I love that I would consider to be pop would be Panic! At The Disco (newer stuff), Taylor Swift, and LiSA. There are good pop artists out there, but it usually depends on the style of music and how it sounds. -

Yes! Me too few months agoXD. I don’t even care if I see them irl anymore and they notice that I had removed them out of the list. Like, fight me for this stupid reason. I don’t understand why people get mad if you remove them from your ‘friends list’ on any social platforms. Bitch, I don’t like you anymore. Honestly the moment someone asks me why I removed them from my list I will literally cancel the conversation and ignore them forever. -

reminiscing2004 reacted to violetchain for a post in a topic
While I've enjoyed some of the songs I've heard from them over the years, I've never been able to will myself to listen to a full GALNERYUS release featuring Sho on vocals. I really should give their more recent stuff a shot, because I liked the theme they did for Hunter x Hunter a lot, but Yama-B's super earnest vibe and general goofiness were the main things I liked about them, tbh, so it's still kind of hard to force myself to make the adjustment... -
