Why are y'all so upset about this thread? You can all ignore it. It's not like no one posts random shit here, people come and cry about their failed relationships all the time and no one bats an eye about those "boohoo my ex left me" threads. There's no specific rule on the forum about political discussions so I don't really see the problem. Y'all can just ignore the threads you aren't interested in instead of making a fuss about them. Or then rewrite the rules or something, idk. Go post about VK to balance it out. To secret: yeah, the religious post was fun and insightful as a few others that had real substance, but just posting a link or a youtube video and expecting discussion to take off in a healthy manner is not the way to go either, this isn't your FB newsfeed. I advise to either restrain from it or at least provide a richer starting point for a conversation to make it interesting. Otherwise it looks like cheap clickbait and I can see why users get upset.

BABYMETAL 3rd Album "METAL GALAXY" will be released at 2019/10/11. Riho Sayashi (ex.Morning Musume) and Kano Fujihira (Sakura Gakuin) have supported the band lately.

There is a very gnarly recent picture of Hizaki from some Jupiter live that I can’t find now on my phone, but I hope someone knows which one I’m talking about and posts it

the fucked up shit is that the cover art for their releases has consistently been better than their actual music for a good while now

i think DEVILOOF is NOT a band for most of the VK-Fans,due to the fact that their roots still in the slam/deathcore,and also because of Keisuke's "weirdness".As a deathcore screamer he is one of my favorite in the scene.He's highly competent,has an insane range and many memorable vocal patterns,simply outstanding. however,his slurred and weird clean singing combined with the usual "visual-kei" diversity and Ray's vocals will probably make some people confused or even turn their back on it,and also deathcore is not a very "malleable" sub-genre of metal, so not everyone is capable to digest it if it's not traditional/straightfoward deathcore like the western bands do. The album " Oni " sounds pretty much like a continuation of Devil's proof in terms of production and musical quality,with some new ideas here and there (dusky-vision and Ruten for example).honestly,i expected more,but i'm satisfied with the result,they still a young band after all... unfortunately in this forum it became funny to some people to just hate on this band on every fucking release without any decent argument, are these guys edgy teenagers or what?

So nice of Madame Tussauds to let their wax figures out to breathe a bit.

Pixel 2 XL. I like my phones without bloatware (I like having a near-vanilla experience), and I've been using Android well over a decade now. It's convenient b/c most phones that have come after mine don the dreaded notch. I also like rooting and ricing my phones, which I did a lot of w/ my previous phone, the Samsung Note 4. One complaint is that I fucking hate using dongles w/ a phone and Bluetooth eats my battery. Camera is fantastic, though. After being in an IT environment for a while now + interacting with graphic designers, I have a newfound appreciation for the iPhone (and other Apple products.) Now, their products are still expensive, but I can understand why you would want to be in that ecosystem w/ how streamlined everything is. I'm not in mobile development, but PhoneGap is also really convenient on Android since I can make my own little web apps and install the .apk right on my phone. I've also recently got my hands on an old iPhone 6. I might use it for testing, but right now I'm using it to install ios-only rhythm games, lol.

I'm still trying to deconstruct this with my therapist but I will be back with a more coherent response once we both get to the root of it. I hope you understand.

isn't it oyaji/ojisan?

Google Hitomi (ex-Moran); you will not be disappointed. Even without makeup. Hot damn.

Mana

Huawei P20 Pro but I would bin it in a heartbeat if I could have a decent flip phone again. I hate smartphones and yet it's impossible to live without them nowadays

I have a crappy old Alcatel brick because every smartphone I've ever had has either broken or been stolen, lmao. Besides, I like to keep everything separate. Calling/texting on my phone, music on my iPod, and everything else on my laptop (backed up with a memory stick).

Or people just don’t like the band. There’s nothing all that noteworthy going on here if you’re familiar with death metal, metalcore, deathcore, etc, it just stands out more in the context of the VK scene.

I highly recommend that for notes, papers, documents etc to either take pictures or scan them. I don't blame you with books, but I gave mine away to my local library, and now the ones they haven't sold, I can read any time.

There's a common misconception that you have to throw everything away, but you don't. You get rid of what doesn't bring joy and meaning to your life to make room for what does. Now, I will warn you that you can go over board and get addicted to throwing things away. I had so many cds and games and DVDs in cases and threw away nearly every case (even my DALLE stuff), everything that I didn't intend to sell, but it felt good and I don't really regret it. You start small, get rid of stuff with no meaning or next to little or no meaning and go from there. I hope I've cleared things up a bit, no pun intended.

that was fast

Well, I am not going to talk about 0.1g no oyaji here, cause he is cool! I am going to honestly ask about why you find these VK grandpas still sexy, and with that I mean men in their 40-50s. You are excused if you are of similar age. But when I see all those pictures of veteran bandmen (10-15 years +) in bands, I can't stop noticing the strong signs of aging behind these walls of makeup they put on! I have become old, these guys have become old, and well, they have lost their sex appeal! At least to me. So when someone writes "Oh! Such a cute onnagata in their 40s..." I sometimes doubt them a little bit. I mean performance-whise I have nothing against "old" bands. They have lots of experience and can usually put on a really good and enjoyable show! Their music can be really good, too. Just some people are still saying "OMG! So sexy! (All those wrinkles!)" I know there are fans for everything, but I think at some point the illusion does not work anymore....

Band members I'd like to fight: Mana, Kamijo, Issei, Maria cross, Yoshiki, All of Gosan , R-shite's vocalist, Jojo , Mia. I could probably win against: Maria cross I think there's a lot of underestimating for the shorter guys going on here though. Being short doesn't mean they're weak. You have to take muscle mass and any kind of self defense skills they might have into consideration. I mean, unless you're a much bigger guy, I don't think Kyo would be easy to fight. And even Yomi from Nightmare had an era where he looked fit af.

I am SO done with you RN LMAOOO

guys, I found it

Have you never looked at an actor and thought he looks way better now that he's older? For example, Leo DiCaprio was a pretty generic looking dude as a teen, now that's he's in his 40s and his looks have matured, I dunno, I think he's a lot more handsome. I don't have a particular attraction for older men, but some people just grow into their looks over the years. I think Uruha is aging like fine wine, and yeah at some point they need to take it easy with the make up because there's no point in trying to hide anything. There's something attractive about someone who confidently embraces their age.

New PV (and their first!) will be up on July 6!

well technically it's a trademark of KIMSAPRINCESS, INC., but go off? a social media d-lister triggering so much fumes just gives her clicks and google searches, if anything it empowers her social value.

I hope someone saved Junna777's insane fanfics ☹️

I listened to the album multiple times, and while the main singles are enjoyable on their own, the rest of the album drags them down to the deepest depths of hell. God, is it such a boring slog to get through, especially the 2nd half. This is easily their worst record to date. Losing Seiya and Hiroto really didn't leave good results. All the verses sound the exact same in each of the new songs, stale riffs and "tired" drumming. Sure it's fast and heavy, but without a hint of creativity, plus the only difference between each breakdown is the BPM. The new guys had a wonderful chance to show off and do something new and fresh, but no, let's recycle the old shit, but with musicians who can't keep up and lack the same compositional prowess. Vocal-wise, Keisuke is objectively a beast (important to note that I mean harsh vocals only), but this time, he rarely uses anything but his highs and as time goes on, again, boredom hits. And oh boy, who the fuck greenlit Ruten, which sane person would listen to that shit and put it on the album, as the closing song, to boot. I understand trying something new and interesting (a bit too interesting for the wrong reasons), and sure, I respect it, but damn, is it just awful. I kinda enjoyed his shots at "clean" singing on ESCAPE and prior, but from now on, he should just stop, effective immediately. (and that supposed duet on Dusky-vision, seeing him sing ain't the same as hearing him, and hear him I cannot, it's just Ray.) Ray, who's probably the only saving grace of the album, well, at least in terms of his vocal parts. It's obvious they put some bank into this, the PVs, the production, and even the cover, but if they release another LP like this one, it's the end of the line. I sincerely hope their EU tour goes well for them, I'll be attending for sure, since I still consider them among my favorites, but because of that, the album is all the more disappointing. Kaika, Kodokushi and Aishitekudasai are the highlights, but it's sad when your old material still holds up, compared to the supposed fresh stuff.

Damn I think i like this more than the last single

When you start following a band when the bandmen are young and you stick with them until they're all wrinkly under their make-up I can understand that, but if teenage girls who just got into vk go on about how those 50+ years old guys are the sexiest ever then it's weird.

It had to be said, thanks Masato. I used to stan the hell out of Hyde but let's be real, he's not that sexy anymore and I can't understand why there's still so many girls in their 20's claiming he still looks "young and fresh" and "sexy". Same with many others his age. Sis, no. What kind of daddy issues are you working through?

Galaxy S9+. I like Samsung, and it actually has battery life.

Own a IPhone 6S. Good phone, but with a measly 32GB, it’s almost full because of all my VK music. Probably gonna sauce an Samsung with a bigger storage

Their singer デイブ(Dave) was arrested because he did not pay for his meal at McDonald's. He is suspended indefinitely. As a result, the band will go on hiatus. Both lives on 09/16 and 10/14 are cancelled. However, I still have trouble with this sentence : 本国に強制送還されました

some yall (everyone, including me) only post just to hear yourselves speak (that's what the internet was founded on)

Maximalism is objectively more fun than minimalism tbh

SERVER: "Sorry about your wait." DAD: "Are you saying I’m fat?” CASHIER: "Would you like the milk in a bag, sir?" DAD: "No, just leave it in the carton!’” What's the best part about living in Switzerland? I don't know, but the flag is a big plus. When an ambulance zips past with its siren blaring: "They won’t sell much ice cream driving that fast.” If Snoop Dogg dies before pot becomes legal in the US, he will be rolling in his grave. What do you call a dog that can do magic? A Labracadabrador.

People would lose their minds if they "white washed" Mulan.

Imagine to cast a white slavic girl as Mulan for example... I am not racist, but at least tell us early that it would be a revisitation of a classic tale...

It’s not like half of the threads you post are in the genre of ”stupid libtards upset about X Y Z” ”Desperate for wokeness points” who the fuck are you for real coming on this board about vk bringing your asenine american political shite in here. Nobody here takes this shit seriously enough at least in the context of this forum to give a shit enough to virtue signal for anything. Left right up and down or center these titles and threads are peak cringe and I’d rather see this forum dead with its dignity intact rather than have this shit continue

I visited my brother and his royal pythons again after a long time. Marie was very curious and adventurous, she didn't want to stay still at all so it was hard to get a decent picture of her. That tongue is somehow so funny though. Ernest had really grown a lot, he's noticeably bigger than Marie now. He's still a bit more shy and hesitant one though. And yes my brother really named these snakes after Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford. What a nerd. Maybe someday when I stop being a poor and broke student I'll finally get a pet snake for myself too. They're just such amazing creatures.

they're basically bands that have like 5 fans or so and their releases are usually hard to come by. thankfully there are some whose songs have leaked, but that was either by someone who actually attended a concert/bought the cd, or just pure luck finding it online.

I had to google, because my memory is kinda bad and it wasn't made by someone from Golden Bomber, but Kyan Yutaka and Aoi played in it. The name was "Till death do us part" and I remember Aoi being the only person who knew how to act. xD

Any oshare kei bandmen

wtf looks like someone has big legs

How do you make holy water? You boil the hell out of it. Did you know the first French fries weren't actually cooked in France? They were cooked in Greece. If a child refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest? I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down! What is the least spoken language in the world? Sign language. A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean. My friend keeps saying "cheer up man it could be worse, you could be stuck underground in a hole full of water." I know he means well. Justice is a dish best served cold, if it were served warm it would be justwater. If you see a robbery at an Apple Store does that make you an iWitness? Did you hear the news? FedEx and UPS are merging. They’re going to go by the name Fed-Up from now on. Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer? He couldn't see himself doing it.

I don't know why, but "Houyoku era" is enough to turn me off. I've never liked Houyoku. I didn't like it when I was sampling random MUCC tracks and came across "Kokoro no nai machi". Didn't like it when I had more context to their band activities and listened to Houyoku in the intended order. Didn't even like the cuts that made their way onto their "BEST OF" collection album a few years back. There's an air of ingenuity surrounding the album, and it's so clear to hear that the band dropped the depressive phase cold turkey. This feeling that I have towards Houyoku doesn't go away when I listen to Gokusai either, because Gokusai sounds effortless in its approach to the same style of sound. I even tried listening to Houyoku last week! I felt nothing. Anything remotely resembling Houyoku sends me into the pits of boredom. It's tragic that I had to compare DEZERT to Houyoku but that's what it is. I did not mean anything negative when I wrote it, because I feel like I'm the only person in the world who actively dislikes that album, but there was nothing like it in all of visual kei until DEZERT 2.0 showed up. That's why there's still a niche for DEZERT to fill here, but a sound I found uninteresting then is still uninteresting to me now, and I think that I find DEZERT so boring for the same reasons I don't like Houyoku. It's going to take some time for the band to find themselves and mature even further, and perhaps we will see this band follow a trajectory similar to MUCC, but I don't see myself sticking around waiting for that to happen.

VK may be underground even in Japan, but what he did is still an incredibly serious crime and I don't think the genre of music he plays is going to take away from that. Yeah, fine, he got away with it for now, but that wasn't because of the authorities. That was because the child's parents made the asinine decision of dropping the case (for the time being, at least). And, listen. I'm not going to try to change your mind, but I have never bought into the idea of every single VK J-rocker ever being a prostitute. Maybe in the 80s/90s/early 00s, but name me one rock star who didn't whore themselves out back then. Given the volume of rumours that have come about and the amount of time they've been spreading over, to even begin to make me believe that, you would have to give me undeniable proof of at least fifty instances for around seven-hundred people, if I were to give a rough estimate. As I said, I'm not letting a shitstorm like this define VK, and if they really do think of us as a joke over there, maybe all this crazy speculation is the reason for that.
